    Siloed information sources. That's an exquisitely reasonable characterization of what MIKE brings to GSC. In fact, cultism is ALL about siloed information.

    Isn't the truth rather that you don't know how to tell a coherent story?

    I didn't factually claim Mike will never get it. Nevertheless, I believe Mike will never get it. I certainly would be happy if someday Mike gets it and proves me wrong. Recognizing Mike's confirmation bias, however, is not something I or anyone could necessarily prove about anyone... It's important (for me) to recognize and accept that I'm not always right, nor will I always be right. It won't disappoint me or cause a wound to my ego when I learn that something I believe or believed ends up being wrong. This is in stark contrast to the mindset and beliefs I developed during my 12 years in twi.

    On the subject of free will, this professor, Agustin Fuentes, has written about why we believe. And on why we believe WHAT we believe. There's an old adage that we are what we eat (Thy words were found and I did eat them?). Prof Fuentes (who professes at Princeton University these days), says, in this video entitled Why belief is the most powerful disruptor, that we are WHO we MEET.

    Well, of course. Why would you expect my posts to NOT be about my ideas? Does that offend you?
  8. Rocky
    It's not (ever) about you. It's about ideas. Always.
  9. Rocky
    No thanks.

    Freedom of speech, dude.

    I am not a moderator. What makes you think my "ire" needs to be appeased?
  12. Rocky
    Doesn't bother me at all. You've gotta say what you feel compelled to say. Likewise for me.

    Probably in his 40s.

    A worthy endeavor. Not necessarily something the person you addressed cares about at all, however. Then again, sometimes just making the declaration itself is therapeutic.

    Then again, perhaps someday YOU will understand there's NFW you're going to get through Mike's impenetrable confirmation bias. IF you want to address the imagined lurkers, you might consider a different strategy than just being tossed about with every wind of Mike's bull shonta.

    I think he stopped. He asked to be removed from GSC membership. I'm not sure, but the mods may have honored his request. Nevertheless, I just found this YouTube clip.

    Why Mike doesn't respond to facts, logic, or rational arguments.
  19. Rocky
    of course. I have plenty of choices. Must limit sodium intake, however.

    I still use granulated kelp as a salt substitute. If anyone wants to know of a good source, Maine Coast Sea Vegetables https://seaveg.com/ Amazon and Walmart.com also sell smaller packages of the Maine Coast products.

    Do I need to post another YouTube video of Professor Irwin Corey here? Do you have any idea how freakin' outrageous it is to continue engaging with him at all? If you want to address something to the great unwashed masses (or even if they wash regularly and just get an inkling to question the "greatness" of a certain cult), why not synthesize and summarize the essence of his arguments and claims in a succinct document and get it posted to GSC and ask the mods to make it not subject to inane ramblings? IOW, develop a document, post it or get it posted and not have it be subject to discussion... at least on the post or new thread on which it's initially posted. For ANYONE to continue to pose the kind of question (even if not in the form of a question) you posed in what I quoted herein, is tantamount to continuing to do the same thing repeatedly and expect a different outcome. Don't continue to criticize him. Criticize his bottom-line ideas.

    Why do you ask?
  24. Rocky
    The imaginary or imagined viewing audience? Oh, and btw, on the subject of no one can go farther than they are led... The ONE who follows the CULT LEADER... And then there's what the late Gail Sheehy wrote in her excellent book on leadership, Pathfinders...

    At what point do those who engage with the world's foremost authority recognize they are wasting their time and energy thinking they're doing anything other than spinning their wheels or tilting at windmills? Selah.
