I found it a sad loss of history personally, not reinforcing for a materialistic viewpoint. I also don't hold the belief that what a shaman does or is capable of has anything to do with protecting themselves from harm. But I've never been with the shamans killed and they may very well have claimed just that in which case OC's point is well made. In lieu of that, it's well made for those who would defend a shaman's ability to magically protect themselves from death.




so that would be known as a strawman argument

Evidence for what?  If you're challenging something I've said you're going to have to identify what it is, first.

Quote:


can you not dig that most drugs will derive from plants?




What does this have to do with anything?  You said that most drugs we know about come from the rainforest/jungle, not that 'most' drugs 'will' derive from 'plants'.  All those quoted words represent changes in the claim you made.

Quote:

can you not see tyhat pollutants will be detrimental for health.




What does that have to do with anything?  Stop with the straw man nonsense, I made it quite clear what I was challenging.

Quote:

WHY do I have to throw sources at you, and you dont at me?

hey??




Because I challenged your claims.  You didn't challenge mine.  Is this really that difficult?

And what was the relevance of that compilation?  You didn't provide any evidence of zzripz claim that most of the drugs we know about come from the rainforest.

He's now equivocating, so maybe you read his later posts assumed his later claims were the same, but it isn't so in any case.  If you'll read my previous posts I even speculated zzripz based his claims on reports such as those you refrence, though they don't back up his claims.

Left unmentioned are his claims that cancer 'has increased' since the industrial revolution and that

Relevance in compilation re: plant drugs:  25% of pharmaceuticals is not a majority; correct.  It is not something to turn ones' nose up at, either.  That is all.

Also, my previous post on religion is not to say that there are no good priests; or no good shamans.

Just because many are corrupt, does not mean that there are none that know how to counsel one thru a painful spot in life or have useful knowledge of plants/herbs and their usefull combinations.

I am also unsure whether the Divine/divination is really undoubtedly a figment of mans' imagination...

See the black and white video broadcast in 1961 called "One Step Beyond - The Sacred Mushroom" ; free on youtube.

Blessings.

Ok, however; recognize that the 25% figure provided by the "save the rainforest" website had no evidence or citations provided for it, and this figure was the percent of pharmaceuticals continaining some rainforest derived ingredient, not the portion of drugs that come from rainforest sources.  If they include the stupid herbal remedy bullshit that now makes up a huge portion of over the counter sales in the US, it includes a lot of nontherepeutic and nonactive substances that couldn't even be called 'drugs'
(some of the examples of the drugs cited, however; included things like coca which grows at higher elevations as well as in the jungle.  It seems a bit of a borderline class to include things that grow elsewhere but also, to some extent, can survive in the rainforest)

Bizarre, huh?




so, you don't believe in spirits, ghosts, gods, magic, shamanic healing, or other 'nonesense'. you don't believe we will live beyond death. But you respect people even though you don't do it cause you fear some higher power will punish you if you don't.




Huh?  He said exactly the opposite: he respects people despite not believing a flying spaghetti monster or your "goddess" will punish him if he doesn't.

What do you mean by "you respect people even though you don't do it"?  huh?

Not to mention that the word "most" which was used in the debate is at least a 100% exaggeration of the actual percentage. And that's generous because it assumes the now-corrected 25% is itself an honest estimate, which as you've now pointed out, is doubtful.

I can usually gauge the amount of bullshit and intellectual dishonesty exist in a debater's argument by the amount of exaggeration he puts into the debate hoping no one will notice. This particular debate is a great example.

I must say that merely because 14 Shamans were murdered it does not mean that future-vision is non-existent.

It may mean that these particular shamans had none; but it also does not exclude the possibility of (at least one/some of) them having the knowledge of their deaths before-the-fact and doing nothing to stop it.

Blessings.

I don't pretend to know; perhaps so they could return to the stars and have more power than could be weilded in a human shell?

Perhaps they saw that reality would be influenced by their death in ways that pleased them (drawing attention to the atrocious nature of government)?

I really have no idea what others motivations might be; I'm just saying that there is nothing certainly proven by the occurance(s) one way or the other in the pre-cognitive sense.

Blessings.
