World Wide Concensus
Bishadi's truth thread made me ponder.
Is there anything we could get World Wide Consensus on? Now in this discussion consensus doesn't mean we all agree 100%. There are three flavors, thumbs up - I agree, thumbs down - I disagree, thumb sideways - I can live with that. So we are shooting for up and sideways. Without symantics? Earth is round? We revolve around the Sun? I guess any implication of higher power is out of the question? Are we inately evil or inately good? What is the most extreme thing you think we can agree on or live with? |

Earth is round? Spherical surely!!
![]() We revolve around the Sun? Agreed I guess any implication of higher power is out of the question? Absolutely ![]() Are we inately evil or inately good? No, we are the product of our environment with some predisposition from our wiring. What is the most extreme thing you think we can agree on or live with? That war is sometimes a necessary evil? Can we achieve World Law ? |

Meaning when one form of teaching suggests ‘do not do this’ and then to recognize, well ‘they do’ a set of mental conflicts can cause an isolating rebellion against peers and groups. Quote:

The “world law” already exists all around you in nature but the comprehensible knowledge to understand that is what is missing which has caused the separation from truth and misunderstandings. In a concensus basis: do the words above make sense? |
