Adaptation and growth. Beautiful, isn't it?
“How can a bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?”
― William Blake
“Little Fly
Thy summers play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink & sing:
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength & breath:
And the want
Of thought is death;
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die”
― William Blake, Songs of Innocence and of Experience

I don't care about income inequality, I care about the idea that there are people who have actual obstacles to success.
-Ben Shapiro
...we hear about the wage gap, the idea that women are paid significantly less than men--seventy two cents on the dollar--that's absolute shear nonesense--it is absolute nonesense--in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in America, women make 8% more money than men do in their peer group. That wage gap is growing, not shrinking.
-Ben Shapiro
We're in a situation now where students can go to university and come out dumber than when they went in. They are infantalized by safe space and trigger warning culture, the idea that interogating a new idea, coming into contact with a school of thought or a person that doesn't conform to your prejudices is somehow problematic, that it gives rise to trauma.

You should try some.. stuffed courgette flowers, with or without tempura batter, is still a very popular choice on Asian and Mediterranean menus.

Humans limit situations.. not the situation itself, so are we becoming a problem unto ourselves/our growth?

These are good questions. The first question seems to be one that nature says yes to and we often say no to.
MagsJ wrote:Gib/ED/AD.. does that mean everything can have endless possibilities?
I have never considered a question like this. I do not have an answer right now, but I will say this, thank you for asking.
Just from a moments thought, it is quite a stimulating question.
MagsJ wrote:Humans limit situations.. not the situation itself, so are we becoming a problem unto ourselves/our growth?
Well we are definitely becoming a problem unto ourselves and our growth - this I believe can be from both setting limits and not setting limits.
It is just a case of the subject matter, I think.

Everything? I would probably have to say no to this since we do not know or understand the reality of Everything.
Many things do have strong possibilities. I do not think that they are limitless nevertheless because there are too many inner and outer influences going on around us.
There is also Reality despite what we might want to believe.
Also, we are human. It is nice to believe that we are limitless but at the same time we have our limitations.
It would also greatly depend on the individual and the circumstances and the subject matter.
I think that we ourselves have to investigate and gauge just how possible something is for us.
We all have different gifts and talents.
But we cannot let go too soon or let go too late to discover our answers.
So, I would have to err on the side of caution and say No. We do not know everything.

Hmm... looks like we three have been branded as the experts in these matters.
I don't know how to answer this question. Off the top of my head, I'd say no. Things are limited by the laws of nature. Gasoline has the possibility of becoming fire but not the possibility of becoming medicine (unless there is some kind of chemical process it can go through that I'm not aware of). The laws of nature see to it that this is the case.
However, I do believe that the singular totality of the universe in its primal state has the potential to be carved up into any possibility you can imagine (or any possibility you can't imagine), much like the number 1 can be carved up into any sum of fractions you like:
.25 + .25 + .25 + .25
or
.1 + .9
or
3 - 8 + 6
MagsJ wrote:Humans limit situations.. not the situation itself, so are we becoming a problem unto ourselves/our growth?
We only limit situations because we are limited. We cannot choose all possibilities. We are limited to choosing one (or a small set) of possibilities. If we had no limits, things might be different.

Its hard enough to see two different possibilities most of the time.
Free will if it exists is pretty limited - sometimes we must work the given situation years for one instance of true choice, and then of course half the time we do precisely the wrong thing. Instead of 99 percent effort to 1 percent inspiration, it more like .000001 freedom, the rest is effort within the thing that is given. But freedom is a powerful stimulant. And whats attained quickly isn't worth much.
The moment of liberation after an occupation war is a true freedom, more people die these days than average war-days; many of the least healthy pick up all their bad habits at once. Freedom kills. Insert flag.
Humans limit situations.. not the situation itself, so are we becoming a problem unto ourselves/our growth?
We need to exploit more of each others qualities. Humans are severely under-exploited, they are capable of far greater feats than we now expect of ... us, - and I mean as a collective.
The UN isn't the best we can do, as citizens of the world. For one it dates from a pre internet age. We can have a much better and more layered and interwoven and effective, relevant, and even sort of democratic united front of nationalities if we become a bit more ambitious with the internet. As fragile as all these individual bits are in terms of force, all of them together will make the world more stable. We will slowly be able to afford more truth, and value others more in terms of what we can not do. That is meritocracy, only refined intelligences can endure it - they have their pride in what is smart, they don't care if it is the collective or individual who does it. As long as it benefits most stably and with the greatest plenitude.
Plenitude will at once point become a thing again. We have plenty, but scarcity is our mindset, so what we have is ugly when it sits next to all the other things we have - or at least sparse, sober - this is our style. Compare this to how people dressed in the 15th century - they lived in times of plenitude, even though they had far less. It is about self-valuing - the environment is valued into the self so that the self can freely expand into it.
The most healthy society is one where the greatest diversity of types can act spontaneously, attain its values, and thereby be of value to others so that they can attain theirs. Now, spiritual spontaneity is all but dead. Where it appears it is met with scorn as if it is violence. We can only imagine the ways in which it will try to come back into the game, and anticipate.
The strong do what they can, the weak accept what they must.

Anyway, I wonder if Destiny's abandoned this thread. We've butchered it pretty bad. I was expecting a whole series of Q&A rounds. I swear I won't
at all of them.Will respond to your other posts later.

I don't care about income inequality, I care about the idea that there are people who have actual obstacles to success.
-Ben Shapiro
...we hear about the wage gap, the idea that women are paid significantly less than men--seventy two cents on the dollar--that's absolute shear nonesense--it is absolute nonesense--in 147 out of 150 of the biggest cities in America, women make 8% more money than men do in their peer group. That wage gap is growing, not shrinking.
-Ben Shapiro
We're in a situation now where students can go to university and come out dumber than when they went in. They are infantalized by safe space and trigger warning culture, the idea that interogating a new idea, coming into contact with a school of thought or a person that doesn't conform to your prejudices is somehow problematic, that it gives rise to trauma.

Are you kidding?! Paranoia's a thrill!
Just kidding... sort of.

I had a good laugh, thanks.Maybe Destiny has forgotten about the thread - I guess that is a possibility.
Seriously just respond whenever you feel like it.

Please put that to language, gib.
“How can a bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?”
― William Blake
“Little Fly
Thy summers play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink & sing:
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength & breath:
And the want
Of thought is death;
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die”
― William Blake, Songs of Innocence and of Experience
“No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.”
