but alas, a far lesser sin than exploring the self and revealing the true magnanimity of the holy ghost within
The holy ghost is better described as a transcendent memory. The healing power of transcendent memory is self-evident. The healing power of ephemeral memory is less obvious, but nearly as potent. And potency of course invokes the eternal masculine, which exists alongside the reflective feminine. The duality between the eternal masculine and the reflective feminine is like a bird on a breeze, pleasing to contemplate from the perspective of either the bird or the breeze. But fragile. Oh so fragile.
Rococo is a suspiciously talented at this style 😃
medieval peasants had crazy hours at times but far more holidays and lengthy periods of no work, averaging about 1600 hours a year vs 2k+ for modern 9-5ers
This is a very widely-debunked bit of pop mythology. There's no such thing as a "lengthy period of no work" when you're a pre-industrial subsistence farmer.
Don’t worry. If you can’t relate, you’re not alone..
A 2024 study published in *Psychological Science* by researchers Johanne Nedergård and Gary Lupyan investigated the lack of inner monologue, termed "anendophasia." They found that 5-10% of people report no inner voice. The study showed those without an inner monologue had poorer performance in verbal memory tasks, like recalling word sequences, and struggled with rhyme judgment, though task-switching and perceptual discrimination were unaffected. This suggests anendophasia may impact specific cognitive functions, but its broader implications, like in therapy, are still unclear and need further research.[](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20...)[](

Gotta concur with Crossnerd, these are getting pretty ****ing good.
very clear yes but we need to agree on the semantics there.
you clearly don't consciously pick all the actions when you brush your teeth or drive , and every time you act without direct conscious control that's the unconscious/subconscious (I am fine with either word, just need to agree about it).
it's also a lot of other things related to literal not-conscious actions we do very often from heart beating to eye blinking (curious actions because with great training you can gain a modest conscious control ), and ofc breathing.
not sure why you ask though

Yeah, when you were using your "free time" to make straw sandals or remove bristles from the hide of the groundhog that you just trapped and ate with your three good teeth, it probably felt a lot like work.

And even if it was true, so what? I mean, it doesn't matter that they were barely surviving, they got more time at the beach!

Then, you would agree reality exists beyond the conscious awareness of your rational intellect?

If the Holy Ghost is merely a transcendent memory, then I suppose divine intervention is just nostalgia with good timing. Healing through memory, ephemeral or eternal, is not self evident but rather like a wellaged cheese - potent only if properly cultivated, disastrous if left unchecked. And as for the eternal masculine and reflective feminine, if they are as fragile as a bird on a breeze, then one must ask, does the bird soar by design, or is it just winging it?
Being ready is often confused with being in a state of readiness. The former is concave in its disposition whereas the latter is convex. Convexity induces malnourishment in the minds of the unattended, like a garden of sunflowers, turning always to the sun but seeking water nonetheless.

right now where i'm living the big issue is a school renovation project that'll increase property taxes by 40%it's done to renovate the classrooms of the local schools, of which are easily already in the upper quintile of quality compared to schools elsewhere in america (median home cost in this town is 3.5 million)it's absolutely ludicrous that a decision like this is put up t
your example is a tad more complicated than the basic "only net tax payers should vote" argument discussed though.
there are several layers:
in the real life case you describe we are talking about funding a hybrid good as I described it, IE a public good, but one with w subsidy component for some of the final users (not all, not even the majority usually).
so first thing is obviously only property owners in are should be allowed to gote how to use property taxes in the area. that's obvious.
Renting shouldn't give you a right to vote there, as working there doesn't inost jurisdictions currently (and you might care more about local politics where you work than where you live).
local voting rights should be linked to land ownership. as it was the case for most of democratic history, that's a very simple fix.
now among land owners it's more complicated. the public good "public schools" does affect land values, and general externalities in the area. some people without kid might want great public schools so that the value of their land increase, or because they think the externalities (good families with a lot of money and kids coming to live nearby) are good for them. others can disagree.
some people with kids might disregard public schools for whatever reasons, including the fact that they want to homeschool them or send them to private schools.
so that seems a fine place to have the normal democratic compromise (among owners esclusively) of letting the majority decide.
now a perfect system would work like stock voting rights with more valuable property having more votes , and on the other side a perfect per capita system would give votes weighted on household size (so more kids = more votes), the one vote per adult is another compromise but one that is easy to enforce and nonequivocal so It can work i Guess.
that selfishness with always be the paramount factor in all decision making is an expected feature of *all* systems, can't be too angry about that, that's how humans work
