Dear @jimtaylor * Oh, it's surely a matter of debate knowing if the Jedi, despite having, as I believe, some kind of moral superiority because of their strive for balance in terms of Force – of course, I'm bearing in mind that world's mechanics – over the "anything for power" Sith's stand...

Let me quote Brazilian ex-president Luiz Inácio: "We don't know the kind of socialism we want." You're right, is not about "socialism", but about money (and, of course, ultimately power). Power is what they want, to build the kind of America they want to, and we can call that whatever we want...

Dear Lark, Oh, no, I'm not tripping on that. Not at all. But, you see, this is not a choice between believing any single conspiracy theory out there or being sure that no one is stupid enough to want to concentrate as much power as possible — that's a good definition of revolution, by the way...

Dear Lark, The kind of "culture" you mention here — of envy, rape, different kinds of abuse etc. — couldn't ever become so widespread among different individuals, under a different epoch; of course the advertising methods themselves have become more elaborated and effective, but their...

Dear LlamaHerder, I agree with you that it's not quite probable they won't be interested on your last job – some companies even contact your last workplace to ask about you, and, well, it wouldn't sound well to them to her from your previous boss something very different of what you told...

Well, surely you can find psychic phenomena if you look for it; and surely there are ways of using some of the lowest elements among them to cause harm. I can't speak about the specific kind of experiments supposedly invested on by the Chinese, or about anything written on the book, but you can...

Dear Jacobi, Of course both of us – and everyone else here, I hope – are having fun with the idea; not only there is no reason to be "truly serious" about a work fiction like Star Wars, but also George Lucas' interest for Joseph Campbell's works show that his characters act as archetypal...

And yet it would be hard to believe any Jedi would, as Vader does, ensure cooperation by destroying entire planets.

Dear sir, I'm a Muslim and I can say that there are both aspects to my belief, some prohibitive, some positive – this words understood in the way they're being discussed here. It's both and at the same time. When there's something "forbidden" to us, that's so because it is in the way of the...

Dear sir, I would like to begin answering this topic by considering the third paragraph of your original post; it doesn't follow your proposed order, but, as I will try to demonstrate, you can find there the principles I want to discuss. Let's imagine a child. He believes the world is his...

Forgive me, but I believe you got that wrong. It's not that the society wants you to highlight some good traits of your character, or anything like that; no, they want to form your character – that being possible, your very "soul" – and what you call "highlighting" is no more (and no less) than...

Hello there. Things like those do exist – for an example, search for the hipnoladri crimes in Italia. Anyway, as for your questions: no, yes and "uneasy, to say the very least". Best regards!

Hello there, everyone. Well, now it's over. Now the Brazilians must pay for their government's folly: pay for all the constructions that are still on paper, or half-made, or made so fast (to show some movement) that things like this happened: () (I could've used the video instead of the...

The same Pavlov methods used to train dogs work with us because they're directed to what we have of animalistic, "canine", not because we're dogs — despite all those who want to be no more, or even less, than that. We can pretend to be just a bunch of nerve endings and narratives, and we can be...
