Sorry, spec, for not being clear anytime I use the word "Taboo".
I mention this word when things start to be related of what is known as politics and/or formal religions.
Even my logical analyses about the important events in the world (and their stories as they are spread worldwide) don't aim any specific system (political or religious), I am afraid there will be always someone here who will like to play the good guy/hero and accuse me of breaking the rules of the "International Society"; the modern god that no one saw though even Atheists are proud following its instructions and regulations
Therefore, if the impossibility might happen and I will meet anyone here face to face someday, hence far from the eyes of the International Society and its rules, we will certainly have a non-limited conversation and without the need to convince each other about anything.
The only thing I can do here is to let you have just an idea of what a person outside your realm may think and knowassuming most members here don't mind trusting, even a bit, a person not approved by the International Society
Sorry for repeating here the notion of the "International Society". For many decades, I hear of it almost daily, as all here likely do, from all sorts of people (in all sides/camps on earth) who are 'allowed' addressing millions on TV and/or internet. But I still don't know the region in which it is located and the ones who are blessed by 'it' to transfer us... day after day... its "will".
I am afraid, spec, that what you mentioned as "bigotry, mendacity, corruption, dogma, crime and disease", they all should exist in real life otherwise their opposite cannot exist as well. Based on human logicnothing can be created from nothing. So the only way to create something is to create its opposite too, so that their end resultant is nothing or there will end up to nothing sooner or later.
In reality, even a family (hence not a society) and whose members likely share the 'same' language, culture and perhaps belief can live, at best, temporary periods of peace which most of the time is artificial tooThis natural universal truth was already said about 2000 years ago.
So the best thing that a sane mature person can do is to 'discover' the world 'as it is' and not seeing it as he likes it to be. For example, I personally didn't meet yet a sane mature person who is real stupid, but, on the other hand, I met many people who used playing very well (outside movies) the role of a fool, insane or stupid person. After all. one of the best gifts (beauties) in the creation of the human race is the ability of 'every' man to be a great actor anytime he sees necessary.
For example, I personally heard/see on TV (via a satellite channel, Al-Jazeera, on 9/11/2001) President Bush addressing the nation a few minutes after the horrible first crash. In his short TV speech, he gave a national order to all his top military officers not to intervene, in any way, about it (by confirming officially it was a civil accident; based on US Law). But, at the same time, he expressed clearly his personal doubt that it might be a terrorist attack over America and the US forces will run after the terrorists even to the end of the world. To me in the least, President Bush is certainly not less intelligent than me. But I can never play the role, he did, of a naïve confused kid by addressing millions in the world two completely contradicting statements while having an innocent childish faceIn other words, if someday I will be sure, a sane mature person could be stupid, I would be the first stupid/idiot one I am aware of
Yes, creating something from nothing and charging interest on the something, thereby taking away something you created out of labor.Well, the main idea of banks is creating, in a way, something from nothing... based on trust. The latter is printed even on banknotes
Not true- what is that based on?I am afraid, spec, that what you mentioned as "bigotry, mendacity, corruption, dogma, crime and disease", they all should exist in real life otherwise their opposite cannot exist as well.
Not true- man has created something from nothing since time began and he continues to do so. This is the essence of the developed world. This zero sum view is the most fundamental fallacy that leads to all sorts of muddled thinking and misconceptions.Based on human logicnothing can be created from nothing.

There is a saying: in summary, change the things you can and make the best of the things you can't.So the best thing that a sane mature person can do is to 'discover' the world 'as it is' and not seeing it as he likes it to be.
You have been lucky. There are millions, probably billions.For example, I personally didn't meet yet a sane mature person who is real stupid,
If I understand you correctly, you are stating a conspiracy theory. This falls into the same category as: The Americans didn't go to the moon. All the pictures were taken in a Hollywood studio. A man invented an automobile that would run on water, but the oil companies bought the patent and buried it. The authorities have stifled information about alien encounters. These theories all suffer from one major weakness: they don't survive even a cursory inspection.For example, I personally heard/see on TV (via a satellite channel, Al-Jazeera, on 9/11/2001) President Bush addressing the nation a few minutes after the horrible first crash.

Interest is the third most important thing, after money and borrowing, in that order.Yes, creating something from nothing and charging interest on the something, thereby taking away something you created out of labor.
And all the while reserving the right to take away that something that you worked for if you don't replace the something they created out of nothing.
Where does fractional reserve fit into your hierarchy?Interest is the third most important thing, after money and borrowing, in that order.

Hmm, you have got me there- not familiar with the term fractional reserve unless you are talking about bank reserve.Where does fractional reserve fit into your hierarchy?
Hy spec,
In brief, if it happens that you agreed on what I said earlier I would be 'real' surprised.
Did I tell you that my family (I am single) sees in me an insane idiot person for not running after money, fame and/or power (hence sex)
Sorry, but do you mean that whoever doesn't have your same priorities in life, hence following the same path(s) of yours, is, in a way, ignorant, if not stupid/idiot
I see people as being different only (not as good or evil); each of them is created as being a special kingdom that has its own rules and goals (different as their DNAs are)
But this truth didn't prevent the powerful/rich persons (and their followers) talking, along history, about 'absolute' truths and paths for 'all' mankind
There are some lengthy explanations (45min + videos on youtube) but here's a concise 1min video to illustrate the general concept.Hmm, you have got me there- not familiar with the term fractional reserve unless you are talking about bank reserve.

Unfortunately the theories are usually misdirected opinions towards the truth based on the Law of Physics and Chemistry which have undeniability and proof that there were 2 planes and 3 controlled implosions. The how is easy to explain but the why is only theory.Hy Kerim,
Hope you don't mind, but I will be upfront about what you say to be brief. Each topic is a vast subject in itself and it would be a long post to cover them in detail.
Not true- what is that based on?
Not true- man has created something from nothing since time began and he continues to do so. This is the essence of the developed world. This zero sum view is the most fundamental fallacy that leads to all sorts of muddled thinking and misconceptions.
Agree: people squabble- that is human nature. But much of it is stupidity of one form or another. Most people find it impossible to be objective, especially women, and will normally revert to gratuitous personal attacks rather than discuss the issue.
