Re: Judging Others

Philo , Another thing that bugs me, Sam, is the way you equate "judgment" with "condemnation." A judgment is simply an assessment of a person or situation, and need not be condemnatory at all. I can see the point in trying to avoid mindless and self-blinding condemnation, but I ...

Re: Cellphone Epidemic

Dan,
Sam needs to walk up to Adya and say: "People like to be deluded and suffer - get over it."
Hmm, seems you're not very familiar with Adya. He has no problem with those who have no interest in enlightenment. You do.

Re: Cellphone Epidemic

sam: All you want to do is judge others and parade around about how "wise" you are when you do that. It's disgusting. Some needs to call you on it and I am doing that. Sorry if it upsets you but confrontation is your thing, isn't it? Don't like you toes getting stepped on? Poor baby, run ...

Re: Judging Others

mikiel , I am in total agreement with you here. I'm happy to hear that. I value your input. In spite of Dan's lame diclaimer that his is not "moral judgement," I have experienced persistent condemnation here as the all pervading tone of the site. Yeah, your treatment on the Slavedom threa...

Re: Judging Others

Iolaus , Once again, I agree with you. Ah, with the calls for my banning, this is nice to hear! It so happens that non judgment is a key component of my own path. I'm interested. Couple remarks. First, they think that if they don't judge it means they don't see things as they are. In fact, I think ...

Re: Judging Others

Diebert , sam: It seems to be the consensus here that judging others is a good thing to do. When I talk about judging others, it is in a moral sense, condemning them for actions such as sexuality (BMcGilly07), talking about their past (Diebert), making a living by working (Rybaby), and even cell ph...

Re: Cellphone Epidemic

I agree, I don’t believe this is the right place for Sam, I think he should move on to another forum, perhaps a forum that is more tolerant of incorrigible mediocrity. My biggest problem with Sam is that he seems to happily enjoy being hypocritical, irrational and nonsensical, which reveals just ho...

Re: Looking for a gifted mathematician for a little help.

I'm not sure what you mean by seven 50-50 variable outcomes. My spreadsheet dealt with the probability of outcomes given any odds. For instance, what is the probability of winning a certain amount of money at roulette in a certain number of spins with a certain betting pattern given the probability ...

I've read most of what has been written here but I haven't yet seen what would appear to be an obvious perspective, that suffering itself is an interpretation of events as opposed to an imposition of events. Here is an example of what I mean. Carlos Castenada tells a story in which a series of event...

Re: A Strategy For Sages to Survive as Travelling Vagrants

Ryan , sam: Moral judgment is about feeling superior (an emotion) and disapproval (an emotion). Condemning someone presupposes they could have done things differently, i.e. it presupposes free will.
