Oh yeah,
thewalkingparadox:
I read The Stranger/Outsider the other day and I was wondering whether consenting to death could be seen as akin to suicide just because in such cases you actively consent to the taking of your life. So in the book, Mersault could have to lied and said he did regret the killing or feel extreme greif after the passing of his mother. Is it because he was dying for the truth and...

Decolonizing Our Hearts and Minds →
cultureofresistance:
By Rowan Sinapu (Recovering Wasi’chu/Wetiko), Unsettling Colorado
For those of us who are the descendants and direct beneficiaries of colonists, settlers, and displaced peoples, the question of decolonizing ourselves, our hearts and minds, and the stories, narratives, and pathways that brought us to where we are today, is a complicated, touchy, double-edged one. How do we...

How is it that Jesus was a fair feminist for his day—treating women with a deference remarkable for his immersion in a deeply patriarchal culture—yet the religion that bears his name shows no such respect? How is it that pagans, Jews, Muslims, heretical Christians, Indians, Africans,…

Does it lose meaning
misafiles:
If I say I’m sorry does it change a thing? Would to keep saying that one word be demeaning? To say it today and then say it the next to say it again and again does it not loose meaning?
Should I say that one- for just a small taste of: anger, annoyance, bitterness, a raised voice in a sentence?
Should I say I’m sorry?

I’m typically more okay with liking/loving people more than they like/love me than I am with people liking/loving me more than I like/love them.

If a bunch of non-sentient bits and pieces together can form a conscious entity, can a bunch of humans acting in some kind of unison also produce something greater than the parts in a sentient manner?

Scapegoating Teachers | Moshe Adler →
Today the economic situation is dire and most Americans believe that inequality is the biggest problem that the country faces. Occupy Wall Street blames the 1% — but the 1% and their elected officials have found someone else to blame: Bad teachers are back. A new study just out from economists at Harvard and Columbia would seem to offer the proof. The study does not claim that the measurement...

Life is an expression of eternal consciousness, therefore actual, real, death is not a possibility, which is a corollary to the more familiar laws of conservation of energy and matter.

the biggest crime
The biggest crime?
Not living within our means.
The cost of college is way to high.
The fact that we accept these prices and the debt of college and choose to go, instead of choosing a college within means. No, sorry, $100,000 is not acceptable for a college loan of three to four years of college. If you are not going to pursue a career internationally then do not go to an ivy league college....

The real proof that the takeover by the corporate state is almost complete, is that their actions are so blatant and in your face now.
