Not so far from what I have been thinking and can believe! Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve. Quote Max Planck

It gave me my first yellow book in 30 minutes, and no regrets! I have also used reserved fixed ticket service for a little fee. It is an actual reserved ticket, so ? Would I use an agent? Nope, never, the paperwork and commitment is so little hassle, and if I do not have the money to stay here legally, then be it. Thailand is not a good place to be a poor man.

I would be more worried about a 15 year old boy, can not do 200 up and down on a chair. Something physically wrong with the younger generations. Not defending the teachers punishment, but ????

And Putin took advantage there to, while we betrayed the kurds

interesting point of view, and could easily be said about many countries who is struggling with the ethnic differences and poverty. Could also point fingers at the later attempt on the democratic conversion on middle east to, and the endless stream of emigrants flooding our borders not only in europe, but the whole world.

We will always measure our freedom up on those who is next to us, family, neighbour’s, district, neighbouring country, region and so on. Im sure even prisoner’s value their privileges up against each other to, so yes, Im talking about individual experience of freedom, and I feel Im at a point in life where Im in control with my resources and my limits where I feel a very personalised freedom. As said, state of mind freedom, and thats where freedom starts for everyone, and a good recipe for individual freedom. If I need something, I need to work for it, maybe study it, and get it done one way or another way. Sounds simple, and it can be simple when you first realise it, but it took me awhile and long journey to get there.

It was just two simple examples as first proved science teached to us as children, and you are right, and completely agree with your post in whole. we could have done much better, but it seems the progress as we get more science available, we also create more individual dreams, and also dreams that obviously is abused by powers by nationalize the drive for everyones best and also manage to get the support needed for the spending prioritized in these projects. We can all imagine all these fantasy trillions could have done for everyones best, right? If there was a world united, and not as we see it have been since the beginning of humans, fighting for land and resources, now fighting for planets and space in our galaxy. Unfortunate, when we all the time see the limits our resourches given by this planet, the answer to the problem, is to use more to keep up the economic balance in our favor, but not for lang. Interesting times ahead of us, for sure

So true, but I can enjoy more urban life for shorter moments, or again feel the joy of nice hotels and nice restaurants, but we both agree home best. And home is between the national park on the border to our land, and rice fields in front 86km to nearest city.

It took me a long way before I understood I was depressed, and even a longer road to realise I could fix it. But it was worth it, and it made me more grounded, and teached me to appreciate more simple things in life. Things that you loose when living in a to materialistic world with to many materialistic friends. It was a relief to finely jump off the wagon, retire early, go back to my roots, and start digging in the dirt, be more out in the nature, not only using the nature for adrenaline fun, but be in the nature with a life partner who also appreciate the same things as me. Todays fresh picked berries in my yoghourt, priceless.

As an individual you can to a curtain level create your own illusion of life, how your life is and how you manage living your life based on your childhood experiences as well experiences learned for good and bad later in life as well. Not to forget we all have different strengths and weaknesses that our anchestors have provided us. You can not change how life unfolds right her right now is my philosophy, and you need to deal with many choices with different outcome throughout your life. So in my eyes randomly happenings you constantly have to deal with. If you sit in the pitch black forrest, looking up in the sky and see all the stars and planets as far you can see, and also see parts of the milkey way, you know how small you really are, and how meanings less you are in the big picture, and that I believe is a problem for many who constantly thinking about how it started, and why we are here. Being without purpose and meaning, gives you either freedom or constant pain for being just a tiny little brick in the much much bigger picture. It gives me the freedom to enjoy the very right now, right here without worries, but others might feel lost and maybe feel worthlessness. And of course most would tell you they really do not care either way, but then we have you and me, could you accept being worthless? Edit note Worthless in the big picture to this planet, this universe, not in life of course.

Thank you for your kind words, appreciate That. In terms of change? Is change necessary if you feel you live a good life, with an healthy outlook on it, I believe a change only is necessary if something happens to you and to your life. I believe there must be a cause for a change, because you need the change out of various reasons of course. I want you all to think about why you have “changed” got the energy to do so. Of course if you have made dramatic changes in your life and life philosophy how you see the “world” you living in. just back from the forrests sleeping out two nights, and just havecto say, nature never disappoints me when Completely disconnected from this world with no other people around except me and my wife. I get all the answers I need just being present right there right now. Best healing and therapy right there, but for many so distant and impossible to reach.

The old books is just «science» and knownledge from that time of period it was written. They where also cherry picking for getting best resoult of what made sense for time being, and also used politicsl for time being, and not really new with the Romans who used it in more efficient way than before, where they made allies by converting them to Christians more common understanding, than direct threats of going to hell and being executed for blasphemy. If you read the bible you will find many laws that protect humans for doing stupid things, and also a guide to a successful living which involved discipline and a strict simple life to benefit all, and of course have common ground for their people to build wealth and become stronger against enemies. It gives people hope and also something greater to fear. Tippaporn, we all cherry picking even if we read the bible, the christians, pick what they like to believe in, exclude what they do not like. Thats why we have so many different churches and different beliefs even among Christians. I believe all people need somewhere to belong, and the further away from nature we get, the more we longing for something to make sense. Out in the nature, it is all about to survive, in more civilized populated it is more about getting seen and acknowledged by others, where we really do not risk anything to exists. At least where we have come from. We do not risk much these days to leave our tribe, and maybe fairy tales started to teach everyone avout the danger they would face if they left their tribe, that later lead to more complex belief systems, and all this knownledge is passed on to us through our genetic memories. Well, we know we are born with some kind of instincts, and we believe in dna and genetic memory ? Dont we?

Any big city you will finely find trouble if your are either drunk or stupid. Thailand is one of the more forgiving places to be either or both.

Comes with many names, but my maker is the nature, everything we see, touch and feel all is one some say. What do you think? Allah is just another name for the same everyone see as the creator. Where I come from we say Gud which is the same as God or Allah just different language, same meaning. Manitou is great and have been great to me

I live perfectly good with my life no matter what anyone here thinks about it. To me it is more important to feel connected with myself, my close ones, and the nature I am allowed to take part of and enjoy. Right now packing up the car with tent, sleeping bags, dry food and fishing equipment, and heading out tomorow for new adventures closer to my maker fishing, picking berries and mushrooms. Then I know where I belong and where I am. Home

To be true, people who are smarter than me, work in the field, struggle to answer with certainty about your questions. I have delt with tough littérateur and hard brain work before, and as true it is said, the more I know, the more I realize I do not know. I know enough to not laugh about Elon Musk and make a rant out of a short video clip from youtube. However I believe human life is not more worth than any life on this planet. We have just be able to survive on this planet for the moment, because the climate and other superior creatures have been either distinct, or not evolved yet. That can be a virus with coincidence happenings leading to a chain reaction wiping us out. Yes, I do not believe our presence is of more importance than any other life on the planet Yes I believe in evolution because of our dna can make us adopt to different climates and living conditions. All species who have been separated and given different living conditions, have evolved and adopted by time to survive changing environments. How do we have control over our life 100% when everything is changing around us from day to day out of randomly happenings! That constantly making you changing your decision’s and mind because of new possibilities and new challenges for good and bad? Do you believe in fixed pattern and fixed challenges in this life to evolve For now, it seems we have changed fittest of survival for time being in our part of the world, other not so much. Still there is drawbacks that genetic weaker manage to populate more than strong or stronger individuals with resourches and capabilities who obvious in these times have less kids than the weaker ones! Emotions can be many things, especially genetic memories, experiences, and how you instinctively react and learn to react to different situations. However I believe in our brains plasticity and know I can change my brain by training, and create new reaction patterns. Off course we have personal choices, but still surprised I sometimes make choices I never thought I would do. I know from my marketing school, and also life experiences how easy we are to manipulate, so 100 % free personal choice, I do not believe in, especially these days with algorithms controlling your personal choices on Internet and especially social media. I would say As dangerous trapped in one party country, one state media, or any extreme religious society. Why do you believe life have any value, when you look out far beyond what you can see with your own eyes? Galaxies being born and gone in such dramatic ways as we possible can imagine as we speaking.

At least he is earnest, and to be true, he is more than one field guy! You have to give him that! To many ramble around stating beliefs as facts, and believe in it, and when finding someone who have as wild beliefs as themselves, petting their back and backing each other up ???? Simple careful approach is always the best until you know for sure.

STDs is for us who is educated easy to prevent, not so easy for poorer uneducated people, or victims of sexual abuse.

You have good science, and you have biased science which search to serve a purpose, as much as religion does in politics and also for peoples personal lives. So I like to cherry picking. I do not accept more biological sexes than two, and Im ok if some tells me they are not what they where borned, but still as long you have reproductive organs as one sex, thats what you are from nature. I science says the earth is round, and I think that is right, than the earth is round. If the science says we orbit the sun, I also believe that, but that because I have faith in that science and the proof they have given me. Sometimes we just have to make certain decissions in life that also benefits us and the society.

After all, there is to many similarities between even the most conflicting religions that it can be a coincidence or random thinking around the world without same origin beginning of how humans create their beliefs. Be it a universal consensus or more physical connection between the early big thinkers. I believe the last, but I also know humans have an tendency to end up thinking very much the same things and make same conclusions even there is no consensus binding us together. If there was a universal consensus, why do we not have better understanding of each other?

Anyone else experience this thread crash when using notification link? Science can be good to back up your belief, or make you change your mind, as well try to keep most people on a sensible track in life with goals that contributes to the society we or most benefits from. If everyone was going to be freethinkers, what would be the end result? A more united world, or more chaos?

Thats brave, and reminded me of this one not that you are a fool, and I do not call you a fool, but still somehow I wantedcto argue with you, but I know you believe you are 100% in control of your self, your thoughts and your feelings, so no need to argue with you, to try to see it my way

Svalbard is good for both, and the majority of female workers there is from Thailand and the largest population of workers who is not Norwegian. https://www.asiaportal.info/mayfrom-thailand-svalbard-migration-margins-an-magritt-jensen/
