How big IS this audience watching you joust against the forces of "you all"?

Does that make France a religion? Cause all the dead monarchs and stuff. I don't get the joke.

I understand math as a language. It's used to communicate, understand, explain, make predictions.

I'm not sure how the "real world" is less insane than stories. According to evolution, we are relatives to all the food we eat. We eat our family every day. Evolution is driven by the elimination of failed lives. There is no purpose but to pass on genes by any means. That's disturbing and nuts. When you realize the gods and their stories come from the collective minds of many generations, what exactly are you calling ludicrous and not believable? When Adam and Eve ate the fruit, enlightenment brought them shame. That's a short story with many layers. That's talented writing for ancient people. Don't think that truth has changed today.

Well, if we're arguing Math is not a cognitive exercise, maybe so.

Maybe Isaiah 46:10 is an attempt to point out apparent contradictions. This of course was handled, like a hand in a glove, in The Class. Or, there's also Pinocchio. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocchio_paradox#:~:text=For Pinocchio%2C "my nose grows,now because of that lie. The opening post seems to imply that death and suffering serve no purpose.

Religion is not math. Or necessarily a set of postulates. Is math a tool or a guide? Religion stems from the psyche. Which is biological in origin.

Pinocchio has a lot of symbolism, Christian and Pagan. But if we have to be more Bible the prodigal son would be an example. I think the guy with the bad father said it. Earlier in life I thought the story was stupid. I sided with the son who didn't blow his inheritance. Why was the lazy bum getting a free pass? Later, I understood the father's viewpoint and changed my mind. I am amused that I remembered the story because I hated it once.

I agree. Arguing whether Pinocchio actually happened or is even possible is missing the point.

I think this was explored in George RR Martin's story. Knowledge does not give one power. Even if the series flopped at the end. Orange people don't need knowledge. Power for Abundant Living Word of Knowledge. You need knowledge to get more knowlege. Come on.

Power for Abundant Living The first word is power. I remember LCM in his class shadow boxing the air to emphasize kata Kratos or something Greek to me. How on earth could any class increase a person's power? Secret knowledge? Knowledge is not power. Believing? Belief is not power.

Convergent evolution. The reason and icthyosaur looks like a dolphin. If something has happened before it can happen again, and again . . And again.

I didn't realize how many Frank Lloyd Wright houses were in Ohio. I knew of 1 or 2.

"Bus" and "toe"?

from these same letters you can spell "mist", "fog", "rodeo", and "r".

Poor kid started turning into a donkey. Got lost at sea! Disney made a movie out of it. Corporate greed. Marionettes can't talk!! All LIES.

You know who else is an irresponsible father? Geppetto. Total imbecile when it comes to protecting children. Especially animated wooden ones.

Prison could be drastically different, that's about 1 out of 100 hundred people in the United States.

Part of the problem is the energy consumption of the brain. Efficiency is always an issue. If you can design a better one, go for it.
