could we have a little more clarity

you may have all the clarity you are able to obtain

[philosopher]

If you or someone else were an eternal being, how would you know it?

i choose this definition of 'know':

~To perceive directly; grasp in the mind with clarity or certainty.

and this definition of 'eternal':

~Continuing without interruption; perpetual.


as such, one would require an authentic direct perception of being that had the qualities of a perpetuator

This just allows me to know an eternal being under the right circumstances, but does not provide a way to know that this being is eternal. So you have not answered my question, which must still be answered or your assertion of Burning Man's infinite life span should be taken (and, I would say, would have been more congenially expressed) as metaphysics.

[Jungfraueigerbane]

if you have not earned the right circumstances under the compulsory guidance of karma, you have:

no right to know
an awareness incapable of authentic perception
my contempt


~welcome to my version of congeniality

I was going to suggest that you could at least serve refreshments, but then I realized that you've already got a nice flambé on the table.

Unfortunately, there are some limits here.

Unfortunately, there are some limits here.

I hate to say it but with one already overtaxed Sheriff (Emily) and only one really active Deputy (SB), there's little enforcement of those limits. And if all those Russian sock puppets start posting spam this place will really look like the old lawless wild west.

[Jungfraueigerbane]

limits here.

and where is this place you share with limitation?

do you interact with these limits on a regular basis?

surely, you must have experienced some indisputable qualitative evidence of their unfortunate existance beyond the illusive conjecture of a despondent mankind...

[spectabillis]

I posted an update to that.

the old lawless wild west.

might be fun...

implement a flagging system like the tribe website did...enough flags from individuals, and the system automatically purges the flagged material...

kinda like handing everyone a six-shooter, without the gore...

many people came together to discuss and implement the buddy/ignore function. it would seem more important to first understand if and how thats used before adding another function.

not knocking tribe, but this place has a distinct style and intention of its own thats different.

[Jungfraueigerbane]

distinct style and intention of its own

good...

staying true to the distinct style, i would like to raise and empower the intention...

what do you intend?
