The term "Totality" is ill-defined. So, by the way, is "God". If you start with the equality as conclusion rather then premise, then there is no debate. However -it is true that the premise of Totality+1 is interesting, and not necessarily illogical. Calculating to the last digit of Pi...

It wasn't Trust - No one could see it coming. Remember? It's kind of sad, but it IS a zero-sum game.

Taxing their profits away makes the GOV'T socialist. Taking gov't money after gambling the house away makes WALL ST - the masters of the universe - socialist.:D

I wish I knew and could point to a repeatable experiment. I can't - but if there IS a consciousness after this lifetime, I guess we'll all find out. Either that, or it won't matter anyway. I don't think being "around" longer - like roaches - has much to do with the question of an...

“Let’s hope we are all wealthy and retired by the time this house of cards falters…” - CNBC Faber report "House of Cards" I would agree that a lot of people didn't pay attention to their 401k's but Wall St ain't no saint in any of this.

This goes into the question of the actual existence of an "alternate-life". "After-Life" is kind of a loaded phrase, because - if there IS one - who is to say that this current life isn't a Life after a previous one you've had, making THIS life an "After-Life" too? Some say it's the effect...

That 401K lobbyist guy came across like a parasite - which pretty much fits the subject matter. It's funny how there is an entire industry built on folks who take a lot of fees and money as fund "managers", but when the loses hit, it's "YOU'RE responsible for taking care of your...

Q: How many Wall Street Bankers are Capitalist if they take bailout money, either directly or indirectly (AIG) from the government? :D

My point was - the premise starts with a conclusion. That is equating the word Totality with God. Totality could be replaced with "Omniverse". The existence of a multi-dimensional Omniverse does not imply the Omniverse has independent consciousness above the existence of consciousness in...

By "consciousness", God is usually referred to as having independent consciousness, not as a collective aggregation of consciousnesses. So by that definition, Totality may or may not = God, depending on if you ascribe Totality as having independent consciousness. But that returns to a more...

I believe what you are trying to describe is called a "tautology". Perhaps the existence of God by that definition depends on whether a Totality has consciousness, and not on the word itself...

We should have dropped a couple of near-nukes on Tora Bora when bin laden was there after 9-11. Might have cost us $100 mill in bombs. So what? Done deal.

Some guy had that as his nick and posted a few times. You mean him? :p

Paulson is the new Waldo. Where's Paulson? :D

We may never know the exact means used to free him - methods may be needed again in the future, so why give the pirates any helpful tips? Kick Ass. Stay Silent.

The CDO's were "ratings-shopped" by the financial companies. If Moody's didn't give the garbage a high enough rating, they would take it to Fitch or Standard and Poors. Whoever gave it the highest rating got the business - and implied in that - future business. So those in the ratings...

Haven't seen a mention of this except for that U.K. article like the guy says. But GS's action may give it some air - we'll see... Isn't this what everyone warned about - the gov't (Treasury/Paulson) picking losers (Lehman) and winners (Goldman Sachs thru AIG 100 cents on the dollar CDS's)...

Non-AIG companies paid up to Merrill and Citi - but with a haircut, not 100 cents on the dollar. After all the talk about not wanting to "pick winners and losers", they obviously were trying to pick winners. There is no justification for the disparity in the payouts and a good part of the...

So...where are the perp-walks?... And the multi-year bonus clawbacks?
