Some geographical facts and data and also some statistical data (based on the year 2010) referring to the muslim Immigration to Europe (basic year: 2010).

Northern Europe includes 13 countries and territories: Channel Islands, Denmark, Estonia, Faeroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Isle of Man, Norway, Sweden and United Kingdom. Western Europe includes nine countries and territories: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands and Switzerland. Southern Europe includes 17 countries and territories: Albania, Andorra, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Gibraltar, Greece, Italy, Kosovo, Malta, Montenegro, Portugal, Republic of Macedonia, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain and Vatican City. Eastern Europe includes 11 countries and territories: Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Georgia, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine.

„France’s Muslim population is expected to climb from 4.7 million in 2010 to 6.9 million in 2030. Germany’s Muslim population is expected to increase from 4.1 million to 5.5 million during this period. Although Italy, Sweden, Spain, Belgium and Austria have smaller numbers of Muslims than the U.K., Germany and France, their Muslim populations are forecast to grow significantly in the next 20 years. The Muslim populations in Italy and Sweden are projected to more than double in size, while those in Spain, Belgium and Austria will likely increase significantly.

Though Ireland has a relatively small Muslim population, it is expected to have the largest percentage increase in Europe in the number of Muslims. Its Muslim population is projected to increase by almost 188%. Other European countries expected to have percentage increases of more than 100% include Finland, Norway, Sweden and Italy. Countries projected to have percentage increases of 50-100% include the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland. The Republic of Macedonia is projected to have the largest increase in the portion of its population that is Muslim. By 2030, Muslims are expected to make up 40.3% of Macedonia’s population, up 5.4 percentage points from 2010 (34.9% Muslim). In Sweden, the Muslim share of the population is projected to increase by five percentage points, from 4.9% in 2010 to 9.9% in 2030.“ **

Muslim populations in Europe today are more youthful than their non- Muslim counterparts:

Your said post „debunks“ (**) nothing, and your „fabricated diagram“ (**) does not prove anything.

And I have answered all your questions, some of them even several times.

But you have not answered my questions. Here is one of them again:

What do you think about the cause of the Earth's expansion?

3822

Two Children.

A boy and a girl are talking: „I am a boy“, says the blond child. „I'm a girl“,says the black-haired child. At least one of the children is lying.

What hair color does the girl have?

3823

You asked: „Is a religious society better?“ **

If you agree to my statement that religions are misunderstood spiritual exercise systems, then you also agree to the statement that this spiritual exercise systems are one of the typical human systems and can merely disappear with the humans. So there is no areligious society possible, because religion means a spiritual exercise system. Religion does not only mean „tradition“ and so on and so forth. Religion means a spiritual exercise system. It can be as modern as other human systems. Modern religious systems are, for example, ideological systems, regardless what they claim.

So, actually, you asked: „Is a society better?“

3824

Topic: Can you imagine to be dead?

„Yes I can, definitely. Now You know me as well as I U, therefore if I tell You of this do not please judge me incensere, or worse yet a total,liar, or a kookier, insane person.

Last week, and I did post this incidence in my daily journal, I died, and for sure. It was at the end of my nightmare, and that is described in somewhat detail there in the same article, where in my dream Eckankaar mode took over ;and incidentally I have only had this experience about 3 or four times, all involved around death ; and I saw myself hovering over a body which I at first could not recognize. It was monstrous looking, or not even that, a dark figure, not dark in the sense of not enigma ting light, but a dearness covered it, and the light could not escape. As soon as I saw this figure, I remember letting out a horrendous , unearthly roar, whereby I awoke. On analyzing this, later on I my conscious state, I became convinced that figure was none other, then myself.“ **

But did you really imagine to be dead then?

Amorphos wrote:

„I can imagine being conscious and that i had died, given that i still existed after i knew i had died.

I can also imagine that my consciousness would be essentially the same, but not receiving info from the brain/senses. Something like dreaming.

I think that perception is part of the consciousness i.e. Focused awareness. Thus i would be consciously perceiving whatever the non-physical world was like. From there on it depends upon what that ‘otherworld’ would be.

If all of that > i would perceive directly other consciousnesses as if there were nothing between us, seeing how there would be no physical body or world. I would also perceive the ‘space’ we all occupy or world.

As qualia of mind are non-physical [though currently correlative to the physical in this body], then i would see the other people as if i were dreaming them perhaps.

Mostly it depends on if i am still conscious after death.“ **

So you are saying that you do not need a brain for thinking ... (?) ....

3827

Orbie wrote:

„Thinking in pictures is all there was before awakening.“ **

Do you mean „imagining“ when you speak about „thinking in pictures“, and, if so, how can you be sure that „imagining“ is „thinking in pictures“? Perhaps imagining has nothing to do with thinking, or/and both come together then and only then, if they are associated (thus: although they themselves have nothing to do with each other).

Orbie wrote:

„It can not even be considered as thinking.“ **

You mean that „thinking in pictures“ is not „thinking“, and, If so, then we should not call it „thinking in pictures“, but we should call it „imagining“ or „representing“.

Orbie wrote:

„But You need a brain for that, unless brain content retains a held together virtual sense, beyond thought, which I suspect happens in this type experience.“ **

Which experience do you exactly mean? The one you described in your first post of this thread? Or what Amorphos described?

3828

Kriswest wrote:

„I have been near death many times as a child even to have stopped heart.“ **

Do you remember that?

Kriswest wrote:

„Teen years were not health near death just stupid actions near death, as an adult rare to no near or heart stops.“ **

If I may ask you, then I ask you: Why?

Kriswest wrote:

„Yea, death has been a companion. I have lost many humans and animals that I love to death. I do not grieve, I am now grateful for the lives that have affected me. Death is the end of a carnival ride, it just is what it is.“ **

But what is it exaxtly, especially when it comes to imagine it? It is the opposite or/and opponent of life, what is before and after life, okay, but that is not what one imagines when one Imagines to be dead.

3829

Armorphos wrote:

„Arminius wrote:

»So you are saying that you do not need a brain for thinking ... (?) ....« ** **

If i am still there after i am dead yes ~ that was the postulation.“ **

And this postulation is a kind of "life" as we know it for example from the imagination / representation of almost all religions.

Amorphos wrote:

„More generally, i think that qualia [experience, sound [as it is experienced] and colour etc] aren’t physical, so dreaming and visualising in that sense is plausible.
They are transferred and carried by the physical, we know that much, so if the physical is damaged such that it cannot carry the qualia, then i don’t know. I do however think that qualities are distinct, so its possible that they can exist without a physical transport. ..but it’s also possible that they come into existence and stop existing when their physical counterparts change/end.“ **

Do you think or believe that the consciousness / awareness is not merely based on the physical reality and does not need a brain?

Platospuppy wrote:

„The cause of the expansion is unimportant in resolving of whether it is occurring or not.“ **

That is nonsense, because it is no scientifical and thus also no philosophical answer. Every theory must be compatible with the last possible cause.

Platospuppy wrote:

„The evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of expansion theory.“ **

That is not true.

Platospuppy wrote:

„You are still not responding appropriately to my posts.
In order to be a good philosopher, you must address each point with equal vigour and attention.“ **

That is your personal self-descriptionion“, because you are the one who is still not responding appropriately to my posts.

So again: What do you think about the cause of the Earth's expansion?

3831

You do not know what all the others know.

Try to think about the definition of „religion“.

Be careful, because the following tab contains parts of the solution process:

Choosing the most qualified integer is alraedy part of the task. At first you have to derive equations from the diagram, then you must pay attention to some subtleties, then you have to solve the equations, and after that you should choose the most qualified integer ... and so on.

For reasons of simplification you should choose „1“ as the most qualified integer for one variable

You are derailing the thread again. I warn you: Stop your personal attacks. They have nothing to do with the topic of the thread. So if you are not interested in it and want to be still off-topic, then post in the threads of the off-topic sector (**).

„I did a bit of work on this before I realized that they are all different sizes, which means the whole shape is not a square (otherwise B = C).

So I have to start over, which I will do later. My basic plan of attack is to list out the equations (e.g. A + B = C + E + F, etc.), then let J = 1 and solve for each other variable, then multiply them all by whatever gets them all to be integers (I was wrong earlier, J can't be 1, because A - (B + H) < J, so if J = 1, either A, B, or H could not be a integer).“ **

I remember a situation after having an accident when my consciousness and also the pictures came back. It was similar to what you can sometimes see in a movie. There was a white color, perhaps a white curtain, that slowly disappeared and let the reality come through.

„Arminius wrote:

»War has much to do with the market and is one of the most profitable businesses, probably the most profitable business.« ** **

I disagree. War is profitable because it externalizes effectively all of the cost, and it is based entirely on rent-seeking. It doesn't create value, and probably the best way to decrease the incidence of war and increase peace is to create markets.“ **

So you do not disagree, because your arguments are not in disagreement with my argument. War has much to do with the market.

Carleas wrote:

„Arminius wrote:

»A ›free market‹ means an absolutely free market. That's logical, even tautological.« ** ** ** **

I think it is an abuse of language to call the relationship between a lion and a gazelle a »market«.“ **

Nobody said that, Carleas. I said that a „free market“ must logically be an „absolutely free market“, otherwise it would not be a „free market“ but merely either a „relatively free market“ or „no market at all“. A „free market“ is very similar to what we call „nature“. Nobody can seriously deny that.

Carleas wrote:

„And of course, that is not what any economist means when they endorse the market as a tool to improve human well-being.“ **

In a philosophy forum (is ILP a philosophy forum?) the meaning of any economist is not as relevant as you obviously think.

Carleas wrote:

„It is central to an idea of a market economy that exchanges are voluntary on the part of both participants. An "absolutely free" market would be one in which any such voluntary exchange would be allowed.“ **

Yes - like I said: the „free market“ and what we call „nature“ are very similar.

Who said anything different? I, for example, did not say that there was no falling of the growth rate.

Carleas wrote:

„That decrease is centered on countries where wealth is highest, as your map corroborates. The developing world population is ballooning because millions of people are being lifted out of poverty. Once their incomes start to resemble those of the poor in the developed world, their growth rate will similarly fall.“ **

Your interpretations is vague, because the derivation of economcal data from dermographical data is not always unproblematic. Wealth has also to do with demography, yes, but it does not only depend on demography. The societies with the lowest fertility are not the wealthiest societies:

TFR of selected countries

TFR and GDP

Stick to the topic! No single „you“ is needed, if one sticks to the topic of this thread: Geology. We (except you) are talking about geology not about „persons“.

A straight line you can argue has no such but, think about it, a start, a beginning, but , why a beginning and how? Why and ending and how? The how on physical death is easy to a point that we can see. We tend to forget about the law of energy that states : Energy does not cease it changes. All life , all material contains, is /has energy. Tell me where it truly ends? Consider that this life is not truly us it is a journey a piece of that which never ceases. Cling only to this and you could lose the whole. I am not great with words , I do hope you get it.“ **

Would you say that, actually, there are no beginnings and ends?

If one thinks a „beginning“ or/and an „end“, then there are often also thoughts like the following two questions:
„How does a beginning begin?“
„How does an end end?“

I was just saying this: „That does not follow as a conclusion from your opening post.“ (**|**). Not more. I was merely referring to your statement in the opening post and nothing else. With humor. So, to me, it was just irrelevant whether you or another person originally mentioned what you wrote in the opening post. What I wanted to know from you was the answer to the question (in other words) : Why US and not Pakistan?

Just don't be too philosophical.

The conclusion is obvious.“ **

If it were just merely a matter of coolness, then you would be right. But the title of this thread is: „Are you satisfied with the ILP moderation?“

I do not need ILP. That is cool (just to use your word). If ILP is anti-philosophical and its staff allows any poster „to post death threats, veiled death threats, countless ad homs, derails, and all other kinds of nonsense“ (your words), then coolness is not the best advice when it comes to react to ILP and its staff. The best advice could be that in the long run you should stop posting on ILP! That would be cool. Do not allow ILP to become your drug!

@ The one who is so idiotic to think this thread would be „idiotic“.

The title of this thread is a question. And if you do not know what questions mean, then ask you therapist or your hairdresser (both are the same).

If one can imagine (imagine!) to be dead, then this one should tell us in this thread how and why this one can imagine to be dead. In other words: This thread is meaningful, and the reactions to it show very spectacularly that it is meaningful.

„Not sure if I can explain,
For a beginning there must exist something for it to begin just as with endings.
Energies are part of material. Take a rock, you can crush it to gravel or fine sand, you can heat it to melt or become an ash of type. It did not begin as a rock it is not ending as a rock. Yet what made the rock still is. Given the proper treatments it could be a rock again.
Our bodies and what we call souls/self had to have something to make them. The material and energy had to be there. They will be there after these bodies change. The energy of self cannot cease. Look at radio or TV. Those energies and how they go from a station to your TV or radio is a proof or example of this. The fact that we can measure the brain activity shows that what we are is leaving our bodies as energy. Yet we are. Now what happens to the energy? It can not end. It changes , adds itself to like or something. Parts may end here or there it may stay cohesive as a radio wave does. Either way your memories exist as part of some thing. A forming brain may take some of the energy. It may remain together in a form that is called spirit or ghost. Think about those two words and the ways we use them other than refering to our souls out of body. When you do that apply the thoughts back to the energy of self and think about radios, TV ,even light.“ **

So you think what is without a beginning and without an end is a ghost or a spirit as a kind of energy or just energy itself.

Wars have much to do with the market. Government actors - as you understand them - are not absolutely free; the decision they make are decisions of their money givers who are market actors and mostly also market rulers. Governement actors depend on their money givers. So one should say that the money givers are the real government actors. What is usually called „government actors“ is not much more than a joke. Wars depend on decisions, and those who decide to have war are those who domain and regulate the market, thus also the market of weapons and so on. We do not have a „free market“ but merely a relatively free market. If we had a free market, then we would not be modern humans but merely humans of the Stone Age. Since humans know what a market „is“ or „could be“ they have been regulating it. If one denied that, then this one would not know much about humans, their history, especially the history of the market and most especially of the word „market“.

A market is regulated. If the marekt was not regulated, then it would be free, thus like nature. Economically said, the difference between the so-called „capitalism“ and the so-called „communism“ is not the market but the regulation degree of the market.

No. A free market is similar to nature, not the same but similar. But the difference between a free market and a market (as we know it, namely regulated by rules/laws) is bigger than the difference between a free market and nature.

The main difference between us in this discussion is that we have different concepts of a „free market“. Your concept of a „free market“ is just like the concept of a „market“ (= „regulated market“). My concept of a „free market“ differs much from the concept of a „regulated market“. We have to make a difference between a free market and a regulated narket. If we have rules (laws) for a market, then that market is already a regulated market, but if we have no single rule (law) for a market, then that market is a free market, thus similar to nature: „A“ is more competent (more intelligent or/and stronger ... and so on) than „B“; so „A“ beats up „B“ and takes „B's“ things.

Other living beings have a market too. But is it a free market? Yes and no. For example: the male bonobos, know that they get sex and offspring if they give emotions / love; the female bonobos refuse, if they can, to have sex with the male bonobos, if they do not give emotions to the bonobo children. This may be interpreted as a prestage of prostitution, and it is a market of sex / love.

A quote is a quote, and a definition is a definition.

If a child has to give three goodies in order to get one toy from another child, then this child knows the „price“ and can only be stopped „buying“ the wanted toy because of a law that is called „age of consent“ / „capacity to contract“, but this law does not change anything of the fact that there is a market for the said two children.

The absolutely free market in nature can be and is not seldom „voluntary“ (your word), as I already said several times. The said market of the bonobos is a „voluntary“ (your word) market, because the bonobos can decide whether they „buy“ or not. And my example of the children explains the same: the market is voluntary, but the laws of the adults do not or not always allow children to buy things. Your example with the girl that hits the boy because of he toy is an example that simply shows how violent regulations can be. Laws do not have to be written laws in order to be laws. The female bonobo shows the male bonobo the „laws“ as well as the female child shows the male child the „laws“ by hitting him.

The words „Jew“, „jewish“ and other words with the same stem do not refer to biological aspects, thus also not to „race“ but to an ethnic or religious group. The race Jews belong to is called the „semitic race“.

So Jews are not a race but an ethnic or merely religious group. The current propagandists just want them to be a „race“, because otherwise there propganda would not have the effect that is has: racism as a killer argument against any opposition and in order to control 99% of the humans.

The original form of „Hershlag“ is the German „Herzschlag“. So the original name of this lady is „Herzschlag“, and the English translation of the word „Herzschlag“ is „Heartbeat“.

Egoism does not mean „being concerned only about your own group and unconcerned about all other groups“ (**). „Being concerned only about your own group and unconcerned about all other groups“ means Chauvinism.

A race is a biolgical term, thus does not (necessarily ) refer to an ethnic group.

The idea behind the rhizome was, as I already said, to have a symbol for the anti-genealogy. No ancestors, no origin, no parents, no past, no descendants, no children, no future, no hierarchy - but a mesh (network) of consumers (also drug consumers, of course, because Deleuze and Guattari themselves were professing drug consumers). Deleuze and Guattari had the obsession that the original sin was ancestry, descent, origin, just genealogy. So they said consequently that their rhizome was an anti-genealogy.

And the reason why „half the world is on the breadline and the other lives quite well“ is not merely the so-called „capitalism“, as you think, but the so-called „socialism“ as well.
