No one shaves the barber if he is a tranny or a woman or a child that doesn't have facial hair to shave or he has had his beard lasered off or he uses Nair hair removal. You don't need to shave those who don't have hair to shave. This is implied by the nature of shaving due to shaving needs.

That's funny.

Phil asked in another post what is the definition of a definition and so in similar spirit I am asking what are the rules of rules and what is the essence of the smallest unit by which all rules might be made?

A definition is a boundary that contains the meaning of something in terms of something else. It is a container that also contains itself. This is kinda like a fractal where things repeat again and again to smaller levels or two mirrors facing each other where light bounces back and forth indefinitely.

I agree we should stop agreeing with you.

Yes the answer to 1+2+3+4+5+....+oo is -1/12

Physicists usually contextualize this law to experiments in thermodynamics and they do not know about creation. Sometimes they forget as do teacher. Existence is a relative word which means that there are three objects present for something to exist, an object that has a perspective, a relationship object, and an object that is being perceived. The truth of an object that is being perceived or experienced is communicated to the perspective via the relationship object(s). A relationship is a container it keeps things in and it keeps things out, it connects and divides. If the universe was built out of a pure love relationship then being everything and nothing and one thing it would die and perform mitosis splitting in two as it's connecting nature squeezes it down and it's separating nature rips it apart yet it would remain connected. The truthful manifestation of the growing relationship structure with respect to perspective and it's truthful order is time, distance, and dimension. Reality to perspective is the truth that it experiences. Paradox gives rise to phenomena for an object can be both near and far at the same time and communicated to multiple perspectives at the same time and these things must be communicated/resolved truthfully to a perspective.

Children of Lilith eh... Neanderthals

Biblically Eve was cloned from one of Adams ribs technically making Eve both his sister and his wife. It is said commonly that women are one step more refined than men in reference to this biblical event. So in a sense Biblically they are two different stages of a development process but in the reverse order to that of Dr. Fulzele being that women are refined out of men. If you are trying to say the women are paradoxically men or the men are paradoxically women over the long run I have yet to run into any evidence of it. Perhaps I'm just a lesbian trapped in a man's body, please explain further the paradox of it all.

Indescribable refers to the situation of your ability to describe not to the object or experience you wish to describe.

The answer is that both the line and the line segments are made out of discrete relationships. Discrete relationships are container keeping things in and keeping things out. They also are objects. Being that a line is created from them distance is measured by the degree of separation the discrete relationships provide. Also being containers that contain each other they eventually contain themselves in fractal form so the line segment can be both discrete and of finite length AND infinite as it is fractally manifest you simply need a perspective on the combined object that contains both perspectives. This provides a easy and truthful resolution to this paradox.

It is possible that people can make their beliefs into gods by upholding them above God in their lives. God is a title and position. In Christianity is says that God puts his word above his name. This is to say truth before title. If something holds that position in your life does it not also retain the title attributed to that position?

If Rich uses "No God" as an adjective, that names his god. Faith, fighting, defenses, dogmas, intransigence and playing cards don't affect this. I was trying to move beyond semantics and address the deeper realities.

You will also get diminishing returns on your money the greater the supply that you create it may become worthless for the effort if you inflate it too much. Other people may become grumpy and do away with you as well.

There is another limit and that is the amount of time you are willing to take time traveling back and forth executing this scheme. Future stock charts and sports gambling might provide a better return for the effort.

Now your learning Grasshopper. If you look in the dictionary you will find a number of meanings for each word. This is because in making a dictionary they took manuscripts and determined the definition of words from the contexts in which they were used. What was written in the manuscripts were people's experiences both real and imagined. The words in a dictionary are defined with other words in the same dictionary and are meaningless without experience, truth, reality. Weak definitions only apply to narrow contexts. Strong definitions encompass great contexts. Weak definitions are drawn from narrow experience. Strong definitions are the silver thread that connect much common experience. The dictionary is a great tool for understanding the meanings of words but is subordinate to the understanding that created the dictionary in the first place. Here again is the theme of seeking the higher order truth. You would be misapplying this wisdom if you used the dictionary as your understanding. The dictionary is just a tool, a jumping off point for understanding the meanings, ideas, and experiences that shape our world. It is a beginning not an end!

My questions were meant to stir conversation within context of the paradox. The concept of god or gods has always been the basis for moral judgement of men. As to the properties of omnipotent, omnipresent, and being able to answer prayers, these are said to apply to some gods and not to others. Take Artemis as an example, the reason her followers gave that she could not protect her temple in Ephesus from being burned to the ground was that she was off overseeing the birth of Alexander the Great. She was not omnipotent or omnipresent as to the prayers she received concerning fertility I am sure her answers were close in line with the probabilities. And yes you are correct communism and capitalism can both be made gods. As to your question about knowing whether god had changed the rules on you recently, that would depend of who your god is as well as your understanding of this god. If you are Muslim and hold the Koran as your guide to Allah then you would see god as having stated abrogating and non-abrogating verses. Which means he changed his mind often throughout the time that the Koran was written or having known the future he lied about it the first time. If your God is defined by the truth then what he says cannot be changed. However imperfect people's understanding may change and this will appear as if God has changed the rules. Likewise if a contract has been made between two parties with a stipulation that if the terms of the contract are met a new and better contract will replace the old contract... then the rules will have changed but these rules are governed by higher law and higher truth which have not changed. How do you know anything in this world? You see, you taste, you touch, you hear. If you see a tree in the distance but you don't know what kind it is but on closer inspection you see apples then you know that it is an apple tree if it had pears it would be a pear tree. If it produced good fruit it would be a good tree if it produce bad fruit or no fruit it would be a bad tree. By a tree's fruit you know the tree. For you to know whether the thing that you, Rich, or other men have made a god has changed the rules on you recently or not is to first be humble because you are a fallible human being and appearances are deceiving, next hold the thing that has been made god up to the light of the highest order truth and test it's fruit. Now back to the paradox! What are all the ways this paradox might be resolved?

Dear Phil, you argue so passionately against the existence of God. You fight for this belief, you defend this belief, and you espouse dogma in accord with this belief. You are so emotionally bound up that each of your responses it is as if you didn't actually read or understand what I had actually written. I have not argued for or against the existence of God but simply exposed the paradox between Rich's belief and the definition of what makes something a god to men. Stop begging the paradox and going off on these tangents. Address the paradox logically, consistently, and within the proper context. Okay Rich? I mean Phil.

I made further clarification when I stated "He has faith in the idea there is no God and this idea is his god." The idea that there is no God very much exists whether or not God himself exists. Also the definition of what defines a god to men also exists. If Rich says he has no god but his actions, his values, and his beliefs say otherwise, what are we to believe? If a god is defined as the root and foundation of a mans values and beliefs. Is the definition of what a god is to man inescapable? Have I not stated "He does everything that makes a god a god to other men." The paradox lays between the reality of what Rich truly believes and the definition of what a god is. I am not playing with words.

A universe includes everything that is connected so any parallel universe that may exist we can not know of because we are not connected. So what happens in this universe has no relationship to any other and therefore we can not make any such comparison or have any such consequence. Freewill is also suspect as some choices are made for us and have to a certain extents have molded the environment in which we operate. I prefer partial freewill as a better model of the choices we make. You have to play the hand that you are dealt to the best or your ability that is all you can do.

I look at paradox as two or more different competing truth about the same object that need resolved with respect to a particular perspective. There may be resolutions to them or not but they force us to look closer to the underlying truths and this is the beautiful thing about paradoxes.

If an object is the sum of it's parts then one rule is the sum of it's parts. But some of those parts are bound to be rules that govern how the pieces fit together which would make the sum of it's parts greater than one. The rules of rules also made up of parts and rules and so on so forth. This being so how can one rule simply be just one? What is the root set of rules that governs all rules? What is the lowest common denominator of all rules when they are broken into all it's parts?

The bird guy claims that blackness is included in the definition of what a raven is and without it a raven is not a raven. A little white spray paint can change a raven into a non-raven by his definition. A proper definition would consist of defining characteristics that do not change like portions of the DNA, and a fuzzy set of defining characteristics for rapid identification. However the bird guy cleverly changes the argument from hinging on the world ALL and converts it into a generalization. The young man is a logically correct and the scientist is a sneaky bastard.

The sad clown gives happiness to children.

Rich is man who believes in the No God god. He does everything that make a god a god to other men. He has faith in the idea there is no God and this idea is his god. He fights for his god, he defends his god, he has dogma and beliefs that reflect his no God god, and absolutely will not accept even the remotest possibility of any other God/gods. If a spade is a spade by any other name...does Rich have a god?
