What do you think of Sudly?
    #26035593 -

How similar are we online to how we are in person?

I'm curious what some people hear who've seen my posts think of Sudly as a person?

Anonymity online takes away some of our social fears, even sometimes just a screen and being able to type can do that. So what about you lads and lasses? How different do you think you are to how you appear online?

I think I have similarities, but all in all I'm softer in how I pat back ideas I don't necessarily agree with.

I view the internet as an intelligence with multiple personalities embodied in hardware. If multiple personalities can be construed as insane then I view your personality as just another nut-job with whom I couldn't do without.

Sounds from the post as though you are currently a little lonely. Apparently some folks do connect with others offline in the 'real world' after making a connection online. Statistics apparently show those who post a lot on face book are/become unhappier.
What others think of us, is very important for politicians, and teenagers. For guys like Ralph Nader, integrity is more important. If one just wants to be seen, or express oneself, there are probably better avenues than message boards.

I’m curious how I come off unfiltered.

I know someone with 2000 Instagram followers, 10,000 Facebook likes and they post pictures of themselves at various events each week but in person they’re shy and withheld from what I’ve seen. It’s a stark contrast between some people and how they present themselves online.

I’ve heard of Ralph Nader before and I like some of the things he’s had to say.
Quote:
RALPH NADER: THE DEMOCRATS ARE UNABLE TO DEFEND THE U.S. FROM THE “MOST VICIOUS” REPUBLICAN PARTY IN HISTORY

Increasingly they began to judge their challenge to Republicans by how much money they raised. You talk to [Marcy] Kaptur from Cleveland, she says, we go into the Democratic caucus in the House, we go in talking money, we stay talking money, and we go out with our quotas for money.

As a result they took the economic issues off the table that used to win again and again in the thirties and forties for the Democrats. The labor issues, the living wage issues, the health insurance issue, pension issues. And that of course was a huge bonanza for the Republican Party because the Republican Party could not contend on economic issues. They contended on racial issues, on bigotry issues, and that’s how they began to take control of the solid Democratic South after the civil rights laws were passed.

Raising money from Wall Street, from the drug companies, from health insurance companies, the energy companies, kept [Democrats] from their main contrasting advantage over the Republicans, which is, in FDR’s parlance, “The Democratic Party is the party of working families, Republicans are the party of the rich.” That flipped it completely and left the Democrats extremely vulnerable.

Tooting My Horn
Gun toting, knife wielding doppelgangers (facsimiles of God such as yourself) do not inspire confidence in person, hence the liberating position of remote correspondence.

Division within the congregation based on preference nullifies the preceding paragraph because division is the knife.

The gun is advantage, nuggets of gold if you will, and so when Paul introduced division and advantage within the congregation we were armed with knives and guns to wield upon one another.

A congregation then might forego the influence of St. Paul and have patience with unruly characters that march to a different drummer in the manner of their speech, dress and sexual preference.

Yeah, from experience I know that "God moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform" so anything I might think of may be woefully inadequate, but to give you some idea of my personal outlook I think John C. Fogarty expresses it well in the song Bad Moon Rising.

I’ve honestly had fears that if my own world views were to be accepted by the scientific community and widespread among the populis, we’d see mass Jones Town incidents.

To shatter the dreams of those who so fervently see their god(s) moving in mysterious and wonderous ways. To shift god from an all knowing and seeing entity, to that of the Sun, a life giving time bomb.

It’s hard to digest, but at the same time when Darwin brought forth evolution, many where in disgust at the idea, an abomination in godly eyes.

For me, religiosity and fervent spirituality pain me just as much, but in person I can hold back because I don’t want to inflame dearly held beliefs, but in having my own it’s difficult to avoid, hence having an platform as so has been valuable for it.

When we talk about what soul is, it's so important for me to be right.
I don't care what people believe in their own time, we're entitled not to think the world is a globe, that nothing evolved, that evolution has nothing to do with how we came to be.

I wanted to realise I was wrong, on a few points I was, on the main track I couldn't be.

keep a fair allowance to be wrong, and invest in unlearning what you know - otherwise you create too much strain on your most plastic thoughts.

To me people who say evolution or growth isn't happening are desperately trying to resist inevitable change, or can't emotionally deal with the temporary nature of the world.

Perhaps they miss to see the beauty which change can offer if only they jump aboard the grooviness thereof.

We might assume change means 'death' , but I'd also argue it means 'birth'.

Personally I believe as rgv said, that we should maintain a level of non-judgmental observance and not cling too quickly to conclusions.

I believe intelligence grows when we try to seek out what we don't know.

It's not so much those who say evolution isn't happening as much as those who say it didn't happen.

As in saying it didn't happen in the case of the ape soul transitioning to the human soul.

Who is Sudly to me? Someone who wants the world to believe that souls did and still do evolve.

You can use how they changed throughout the years in taste and appearance as an example.

Maybe something they simply can't deny.

Do you think we are able to control evolution?

I think it maybe depends in which situations we consciously put ourselves in. Maybe we control how we morph. But not the act of morphing itself...:shrug:

The inclusion of 'soul' is a nice touch, since I believe it makes the generally and perhaps ironically rigid idea of evolution more humane, and perhaps, in some sense more true.

Do I think we can control evolution?

I think like a compass we can turn dials and head towards what we individually and/or collectively consider growth.

For now, but again that’s not necessarily a foundational belief of mine and is open to adopt new ideas.

Do you think evolution is strictly positive, negative or simply adaptive?

So maybe just for survival? Will we survive because of some loving force, or is 'survival of the fittest' a given?

I think maybe the last mentioned perception turns a lot of people away from the idea of evolution since it is very cold.

Personally I feel love even in an almost spiritual sense is very natural.

I think evolution is fully encompassing.

I can take a step back though.

When bringing the evolution of the soul into the discussion I am bringing in a new concept, not one of evolution on the genetic scale, but of one on the individual scale, as in the evolution of a soul within an individual lifetime. Perhaps soul-evolution can better be used here.

What I meant by 'turning dials' was referring to the way in which we aim towards achieving the desires and growth goals we set for ourselves.

If there are no goals, and nothing is set out to be achieved, then on the individual level, for me at least, it seems more difficult to find or make change.

So I don't think we can control evolution in the usual sense, that comes down to random mutation and adaptation in ones environment.

But I do think we can control soul-evolution in the sense of how we develop as individuals throughout our lives.

Well, to compute is to reckon or calculate, and that seems reasonable, makes sense.

A simple concept may appear simple, but enacting it for results isn’t. Amazing physiques aren’t theoretically difficult but in practice they’re more of a challenge and it’s that idea I’ve been looking in to.
