"Thrive" is amazing must watch!

[3DMonkey]

Monkey, Zen, watch the movie or stop bitching about it. you're describing what it looks like when you haven't seen it.

I'm just being honest. Exchanging my ideas. Expressing what is inside me. Putting it on the forum. You can do what you want with it.

He didn't say anything of people that want to watch it.

Nor did I say he said anything about said people. I referred to the "things and ideas" that said people post.

Neither anything of the validity of content.

Looks like a massive amount of new-age crap packed into two hours.

I can't speak for him (waaay too difficult ), but I've read him express that he has a clear definition of what he considers "new age".

Then don't. Speaking on behalf of others tends to derail threads. As you well know.

I don't think he categorizes to be everything we talk about. ... But I'm sure he will clarify when he comes back online.

It would appear to be anything that smacks of "conspiracy theory" or "fringe science". While there is certainly a bunch of hogwash being promulgated in these areas, perhaps it would be more productive to root out the kernels of truth, rather then to just dismiss things out of hand.

We all have our reasons for being here. Is one more appropriate than another?

The primary purpose of a forum- any forum- is for exchange of ideas and information. Many members are here because they perceive this to be a "safe space" to talk about taboo topics.

This would involve the ability to post about such topics without having every thread derailed by the same characters- in the same fashion- over and over again. It kind of sucks the joy out of participating, and makes said characters appear as emotional vampires.

Except for the ones who view this forum as mere "entertainment". In which case, trying to get a rise out of others, and various derailing tactics, are entirely appropriate. Childish, but appropriate.

As an exchange of my idea, I find zenmaster to be a person that does not dismiss anything out of hand that enters his perception. And I am speaking for myself.

For the record, he didn't derail the thread.
