we have a fundamental disagreement, and that's cool, you keep me thinking and the best part is we can both continue making money regardless. -g-
that's the funny part of it: if i'm right, it says your system - your relationships - can make you money. in fact, its says virtually ANY system can make money.
but if you're right, i should not be able to make money.
imo you're getting very close to what lies at the heart of the issue: is the world deterministic? it seems we have two choices: either accept the world is not deterministic - which means there are things we are simply incapable of grasping, ever - and keep the concept of free will or keep determinism and accept that free will is merely a convenient delusion.
wish this had come up before i got down to my last 2 posts, lol.
