What philosophical leanings do you think I need to re-work?

[Caligastia Lanonandek]

The TRUTH! can set you free.

Abandon false beliefs for the truth and everything else will tend to itself.

To add to Cal's sage advice...

If you know something, it is true.

If you believe something, it may or may not be. So don't count on it, or share it as fact.

The only way to receive true knowledge other than your through your own experience of a fact is if someone who has a track record for sharing knowledge that can be verified as true shares the knowledge with you, BUT THAT METHOD inevitably requires faith that the one sharing is not capable of self-delusion (error).

Which rules out everyone but God himself, or his sold out servants and sons who are beyond such error and always tell the truth as they know it, or don't talk at all.

Recognizing one of them is an Ah Ha moment that cannot be denied, til then go with what you know, and give up on speculations or beliefs, as Cal advises.

Happy Thanksgiving All

That was a little more vague of an answer than I expected, but I get your message. I was interested in your opinion of my philosophical leanings, but I suppose I shouldn't care either way.

[Caligastia Lanonandek]

If you shouldn't care - why bother?

The answer wasn't vague at all.

Ascendancy requires that everyone wipe their own backsides.
An inglorious way of putting it but the graphic has value.
As long as you have an expectation that someone else do it, pay for it, provide for it...... ascendancy is out of reach. Employing the government to force others to do it for you - does not leave you with clean hands. Receiving stolen goods is every bit a crime as is the original theft.

Liberals 'believe' in stealing the works of productive people to pay for those who are parasitic and produce nothing more than babies and then pat themselves on the back for how compassionate they are. Liberalism is the religion of destruction.

In a less than 200 years, we went from puritans to the moon. Why? Because we had the INCENTIVE and the desire to cut loose the genius of the American people. Remove that incentive and you are nothing.

Op,

I tried to give you a tool so that you can personally analyze your philisophical "leanings" and see whether they are belief or truth according to the criteria I gave you.

It only seemed vague because I would not get into discussing specific areas, and as Cal points out, that is not something I need to do, it is your backside. I gave you one of many methods to make sure it stays clean.

So I stand by what I said, and if you gather the incentive to apply those criteria, you can determine whether any philosophy you currently adhere to is serving you or not, and then act accordingly.

Good luck.
