    Re: Theories, Theories, and Theories

    You don't have to play dead Mikal__You are dead__Intellectually dead...

    It's often intrigued me that so many are so jealous of live intelligence, yet easily worship so many dead seemed intelligences with no trouble. They tout the merits of many a pin-head dead, without ever considering their emotional attachments__yet, any living intelligence is mauled by these lesser minds, locked in the contents of the worn out past. I wonder when and if they'll ever come around to seeing the container, for the contained... Most just simply preach about knowledge, without ever realizing what its fundamental intelligence really is__Intelligence is the container__Not the contained__But what will it take to awaken the world of pin-heads to this ancient fact...

    Intelligence is the frame__The architectonic of mind__Not the silly mush inside it...

    The Common Sense of Profound Common Sense__Ratiocinator Wisdom__The Fundamental Frame Mechanics of Asymmetric Geometric Perception...

    The Real Mind__Not the Emotional Non-Sense...

    Those who do not judge the differences between what is truly intelligent and ignorant, are condemned to the insane inane__Eternally...

    Common sense (or, when used attributively as an adjective, commonsense, common-sense, or commonsensical), based on a strict construction of the term, consists of what people in common would agree on: that which they "sense" as their common natural understanding.[citation needed] Some people (such as the authors of Merriam-Webster Online) use the phrase to refer to beliefs or propositions that — in their opinion — most people would consider prudent and of sound judgment, without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people "in common". Thus "common sense" (in this view) equates to the knowledge and experience which most people allegedly have, or which the person using the term believes that they do or should have.
    Whatever definition one uses, identifying particular items of knowledge as "common sense" becomes difficult. Philosophers may choose to avoid using the phrase when using precise language. But common sense remains a perennial topic in epistemology and many philosophers make wide use of the concept or at least refer to it. Some related concepts include intuitions, pre-theoretic belief, ordinary language, the frame problem, foundational beliefs, good sense, endoxa, and axioms.
    Common-sense ideas tend to relate to events within human experience (such as good will), and thus appear commensurate with human scale. Humans lack any commonsense intuition of, for example, the behavior of the universe at subatomic distances; or speeds approaching that of light. Often ideas that may be considered to be true by common sense are in fact false.

    Two most excellent points Lorrina. I see at least one other person on this board can think from the 'frame/architectonic perspective' of general intelligence management...

    Imo, anyone in a marginalized situation, feeling their lack of necessary tools of understanding of how to change their perspectives of circumstances, should simply ask other's advise on who they may study, to change such negative perspectives__to more positive perspectives__as the negative perspectives accomplish nothing, and are very self-destructive. A pessimistic mind can never develop a healthy positive intelligence, of the world's true workings__That's just a fact known by all of history's wisest minds__and clearly stated many times over__Yet, how does anyone get this necessary message across to the marginalized many...? I see it written and spoken thousands of times, yet they seem to see it__Never written or voiced...

    The Greatest Enhancement to Intelligence__A Positive Frame of Mind...

    All almost, everyone is trying to accomplish is to help the system "perform far more efficiently and humanely if it were to be restructured with considerable thought, conscience and compassion."__Yet, the negative pessimists are almost completely blind to those really and truly working hard, to put forth a positive message of real change. They defeat their own purposes to defeat what is falsely thought by them as the enemy, when in fact__They defeat only their real friends...

    Simple intellectual jealousy is the most evil demon, intelligence must conquer, to become truly intelligent__Iff it ever hopes to get a glimpse of true wisdom...

    Re: Theories, Theories, and Theories

    Is the 'New World Order' good or evil?
    It is both.

    There is a good NWO, a bad NWO and a neutral NWO.

    Sometimes the good NWO does bad things.
    Sometimes the bad NWO does good things.
    Sometimes the neutral NWO does good and bad things.

    All three New World Order's are composed of infinity, and thus all three are good, evil and neutral.



    Summary:

    "If the doors of perception be cleansed, everything would appear as it is.........infinite."

    ---William Blake


    PS.....INTELLIGENCE IS HERENOW / NOWHERE

    There is only Intelligence (or Love, Beingness, Awareness, THIS, IT, Mystery - expressing as somebody-and everything else.

    IT is Uncaused Presence Awareness / Intelligence Being.

    Just pointers from -and to the same- Ever Present Mystery.

    Re: Why Do Intellectuals Oppose Capitalism?

    “The influence of negative tendencies is limited only to the level of mind and intellect. Their misdirection is possible only to this extent but as soon as the sense of discrimination is applied, their misdirection is checked and therefore conscience induces the remaining correctional measures and transform the evil genius into wisdom.”

    “When the opposing (negative) forces are most prominent; destruction (neutrality) of negative forces is imminent. It is the law of nature. So, don't lose heart, now is the time, when human history would witness the new dawn of hope that will usher an era of fulfillment, both spiritually and materially.”
