  • Oh yes. For the individual, very few costs can be deducted from taxes, and investments are not considered costs.

    There’s also different tax rates and subsidies available to businesses that individuals can’t access.

    But my point stands. People always get angry about large revenues which are not taxed. Changing the system so that a tax is also levied above the line is not impossible.








  • Given we haven’t even defined Enlightenment between ourselves it’s unlikely everyone else who claims to have achieved it will agree have the same definition/experience.

    You are correct I have no idea, but my prior expectation is that these experiences are independently located within each person’s brain, without any external connection.


  • My point is that we have no idea they all had the same delusion. What each refer to as Enlightenment may be very different.

    Even so, they may have all watched the same film, ingested the same chemical compounds or suffered the same childhood injury.

    Your hypothesis would be comforting if true (particularly as we are not discussing supernature) but I remain skeptical.



  • God’s Final Message

    After discovering that the people of the Universe were rather unhappy with their Universe, God set out to make sure they understood He hadn’t purposefully tried to screw with them. And so He wrote the following message on a mountain for anybody within range to see. The message went as follows:

    WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

    The message eventually became a tourist attraction.
