Re: The "Brights" Movement [Re: raytrace]

"A Bright is a person whose world view is free of supernatural and mystical elements.?

Ah, how boring. I am under the impression that life is what we make of it; those who seek a sterile, ideological, rationalism-bound, western, ego-driven, linear model for their universe will only have that.

I say that there is no truth, only our models.

Do the "Brights" urge their children to color their coloring-books in strict accordance to the logical colorwheel? I mean, there is no such thing as purple skinned people and certainly the lines in the coloring book are there for a reason, right?

I second this! How fucking boring, indeed. (imagine a snotty, drawn out indeed here).
Peace.

"A Believer is a person whose world view is ruled by supernatural and mystical elements.?

Ah, how boring. I am under the impression that life is what we make of it; those who seek an unsterile, ideological, irrational, western, ego-driven, non-linear model for their universe will only have that.

The proof is in the pudding.

And no one can simultaneously exist in a pragmatic reality while realizing that the limits of sensual perception may be subject to moments of transcendence? That what we percieve can ONLY be a part of all that is.So "mystical" experiences are too be expected, rather than discounted, as momentary transcendental perceptions of a larger portion of the "whole" are experienced.
What Katchy Knew Kname Kan we Koin?
How does T.W.R.T.B.I.O.B.C.(those who recognize the bullshit of being certain) sound.
Gay:is bullshit most I've met aren't though some are flamboyant
Bright:bullshit there have been too many very "bright" mystics
Trying to accumulate social status by gathering people beneath lables: the ultimate bullshit!
I agree with Swami that lables are good as physical descriptives,but labling social groups with ketchy names for status is divisive and unnecesary.We are humans of many physical shapes and forms but our behavior should only be described as "human" and as long as the particular human behavior is not a threat to other humans one can either align with it or ignore it.Everything else is BULLSHIT!(but I can't be certain;) )
Seriously what's next will pedophiles adopt the ketchy new lable of priest or Boy Scout leader? Will politicians become truthsayers? Or here's a good one we should call ego driven idiots "leaders of a new movement" again.If the relative happiness of homosexuals is any indication of what a euphamistic name for the social group you fall into can do, I have little hope the brights will become more-so with a new moniker LOL :wink:
