multiTask, alex. LOL
rotten ignorance? Really? Is that the best you got? As for IQ... just over 100. My brothers got all the brains in the family. I make it up with persistence.
And I'm from NY... and then Vegas. WE LIVE TO THROW BARBS. That's how we show love. If we don't love'ya, we just ignore your sorry asses! Stop your pissAnt whining. sheeesh. Kenny can take the heat in his Kitchen. He doesn't need you to put on an apron for him to hide behind. He's the one who comes out of the kitchen and into the dining room or back alley, looking for some action. He's the dang instigator. Which is wonderful... but you can't expect us all to just genuflect in awe when he does!!
Now, which question do you want to tackle?
In the meanwhile: Please connect the dots for me between "earth is a rock" and "nihilism". I don't even come close to seeing that pic. I used the colloquial phrase to distinguish it from some sort of animal or spiritual being.... for which, I challenged KK to provide his basis. That's fair, isn't it?
Well in that case. Thanks for the love.
Maybe my east coast upbringing has grown soft in the 12 years I've lived in Colorado. And maybe I was responding in kind. So I can appreciate your style somewhat more now that I know that's what it is and am coming to understand you. Still a little abrasive, but maybe Kenny's pots need some scrubbin' from time to time, as we all do.
I'm not here to defend Kenny though, I know he's solid. I just had some thoughts to share.
I also don't believe IQ is an accurate measure of intelligence, but that's just my opinion.
As for earth is a rock = nihilism...I made the connection because the colloquialism seems to deny the existence of the incredible complexities and expressions of existence it took to allow life on earth to exist, propagate and perpetuate. If I compare earth to a rock or earth to an animal (aka living creature) I find it has far more in common with the animal. I do think we need to use caution in giving this earth-organism anthropomorphic qualities because most likely whatever type of consciousness it might have is probably beyond our current comprehension, and thus appears to travel into the magickal mystic realms. (which, by the way I believe is one of the best sources of inspiration in scientific studies). Is it fair for you to use that to distinguish as a basis? Sure. All opinions are fair to have. Is it fair that I disagree?
I only asked one question, which was, "what are your particular views on ownership?", because I've still only seen you put down others... so I'm very curious.
Thanks for responding. I love you too!
What????????? Whence does this originate? Please substantiate. That would be a game changer, in a sense... Sounds like Buddha chiming in. And if that is the case, we can respectfully agree to disagree and just "enjoy each others' company" in a NAPster Agora3. LOL
Now, even if earth is "an animal", what moral imperative stops me from owning it (or a part of it) and putting it to good use?
I actually don't claim to have any firm moral righteousness on knowing who should own what.
As far as substantiating my point... The earth breathes, it eats, it's made up of many particles that work together to allow it to support life.... I could go on. It's still from an anthropomorphized perspective, but I'd like to hear about how it's different from an animal (aka living creature), cuz I don't see it. Don't need any Buddha or messiah to tell me what I can obviously deduce.
I love the ability to enjoy someone I disagree with, but I like even more when we both walk away with something to consider.
So I will enjoy chewing on your response. Since I don't personally in this moment have a firm stance on "ownership" I will roll around with your view and see if anything surfaces. Thank you for sharing.

I own myself. I choose who to "do business with". From that point, I put my time and effort into "enterprising" activities, either alone or with a coordinated effort of a team... some of which bear fruit... or profits, where I have more "stuff" than I did when I began such labor. I own the resulting residuals. Why are we making this so difficult? It should be a concept a 10 year old should be able to handle with ease.
