Plus, dollar (and most major currencies) have lost value through excess printing so more are needed to purchase the same things hence inflation of prices - the other side of assets losing value.

Fed hopes for a softly landed contraction, but their current actions (increase interest rates, reduce its own asset holdings), often result in a recession.

lol at the bolded, unless you are talking in some phylosophycal language!
The concept of body-soul is actually what we refer to in our everyday conversations, for instance, you will point to your body and say "this is my body!", if you say that then what you are pointing at is not you, but what belongs to you, and hence, who are you?
No sinkhole. I do not point to my body and say "this is my body". I point to my self and say, "this is me, buda", because buda does not exist as a body alone but as everything that buda is.

My body does not "belong". It is an inseparable part of me and who I am.

circular thing: birth --> death --> birth. . .!
As in, "unless one be born again one shall not enter the kingdom of God".

The wise die this sort of death on a daily basis if not many times a day. They become as a child so they may evolve into new transformed beings.

That, however, is not the same dead one dies and gets buried and rots and is seen no more. Once we die this death there is no birth, as we all know if we've ever had anyone die on us.

You're correct at the bolded, we indeed drop the cloth when we "die", but if we are to re-incarnate into this physical world then we must put on another cloth.
Mind you, I do not agree with the literal interpretation of that Adam-Eve story, the whole story does not add up embarassed
You are not talking here about actual death, but death as in the sort of death that a seed must die in order to be reborn as a new plant.

As for the Adam-Eve story, there is not a more sensible add up story than that, just that most accept the meaning given to them and never bother to use their own senses.

Those who wish to live must brave the cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth and travel all the way to the tree of life.

It's OK, but we do change our cloth/body when we die, and the death ( which will result in body changing) can come in various ways: through murder, suicide, by sudden violent action or by natural process (natural process is the gentle and willing removal of the body from the soul)!
Unlike our physical material cloth, you can not often remove your body from your soul, some processes must be followed, as I pointed out above.
Reminds me of Adam, naked and ignorant in the Garden of Eden. Kind of dead, actually, since he's demotion from 'rule over the earth and the sea' creation of Genesis 1 until Eve opened his eyes and he lived, though I can't get over the fact that many seem to believe that people die because they acquire knowledge.

First, I'm not a body or/and soul sort of person. The trinity alone teaches three components of being, and not just the two of body and soul, and there are some already evolving into a quaternity.

Second. We do not "change" cloth/body when we die. We practically remove all clothing from our body and walk around, or rather, are, dead naked.

You might want to convince me by explaining this "process" that "must be followed", though. I might experiment to see if what you "pointed out above" is true

Death is cessation of a particular existence.
If a matter completely transformed into energy (Einstein's theory E = mc^2), then the matter has died and energy has been born.
Death, is not the end, but we can say that it is the end of a cycle that leads to the begining of another cycle!
Sink! You seem to be claiming 'death is a transformation', and in a way, it actually is, because on death, one is transformed from the living to the dead, which is the end.

Your Energy, E, will be equal to zero because your speed of light, c, will be a constant zero.

When you finally leave a house that is meant for demolition, you don't get demolished with the house, do you?
Our body is just a house for "us"!
The cloth, used in covering "us" when we came to this world will be returned to where it was taken from, when we are to exit the physical!
By cloth, I meant, our body.
My body is not a house that I leave and return to, nor is it a cloth used in covering me that I can take off and wear another. But let's work on your analogy some.

If my body were a house, it would be a demolished house once I die. The entire process of box, six feet in ground, is demolishing, of the house and it's content. I can't live in it no more and nor can it be rented out so anyone else can live in it because it would have immediately begun to rot and stink as it turns back into the earth from whence it came from.

And if my body were cloth used in covering, I'd be changing bodies like I change cloth, to start, except in this case, once I remove one cloth I'd be dead already. In fact, changing cloth would be the equivalent of suicide!

One should not make things up to fill one's gap of ignorance. It's not as if you are talking from any knowledge you have acquired through experience nor is it what you've actually seen.

even ancient cavemen (before the Bible knew we die and turn back to sand) so really it does not gibr credence that your Bible quoute is some special divine knowledge.
The Bible quote was not quoted as "some special divine knowledge", especially since it is common knowledge that a divinity did not write the Bible.

The fact it's written in the Bible is actual evidence of what "ancient cavemen (before the Bible....)" knew, and have bothered to write down so we current humans may read it and know too, or at least check to confirm or not, instead of ignorantly making up some imaginary afterlife to believe in.
Nairaland General › Re: Aboki Used Bible To Wrap Suya For Me. by budaatum: 1:57pm On Apr 14, 2022
You Christians would not buy suya wrapped in Arabic Quran. You'd claim it's juju to convert you to Islam, and wouldn't even buy suya if it were on English Quran.

Now, if only I could get me a printer to print me reams of paper with Quran and Bible on either side, and then if I could sell you all suya with Salam Alaikum to the Muslim, and Peace of the Lord to the Christian.

Name of the suya joint would be There is Only One Suya, confusing enough for most to wonder as both sides wouldn't be able to agree who should burn me, which just might end up as my unique selling point.

I'm thinking, first branch in Kano. Second in Aba. Then third in more liberal Lagos. Got to start this where the greatest impact would be felt.

So what do you think (outside biblical scope ) happens when we inevitably die .
When we inevitably die, the living will shove our dead body in a box and put the box in a hole six feet deep and cover it with soil so we don't stink up the living, and there we'd rot and feed the worms who'd recycle us to feed the plants.

It is written that "dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return".

Odinani is a pantheistic and polytheistic faith, having a strong central deity at its head.[2][3] All things spring from this deity. Although a pantheon of other gods and spirits, these being Ala, Amadiọha, Anyanwụ, Ekwensu, Ikenga, exists in the belief system, as it does in many other Traditional African religions, the lesser deities prevalent in Odinani expressly serve as helpers or elements of Chukwu, the central deity.

I didn't know you worked in Finance Ministry all this while

Chinas Producer price index was 8.5%. I find it weird that the Inflation of the consumer matched the increase in cost of production of the producer.

Like I have preached for the last 2 years, inflation is inevitable. I don't blame political parties for making political capital out of it, they all do. What I find funny is people who've never sat in an economics class becoming econs gurus from watching political narrative. Well the same way Obama blamed Bush for the Subprime crisis, anyone is entitled to make political capital from the end of a Business Cycle. What's good for the Jews is good for Uganda.
grin

The Uganda Scheme was a proposal presented at the Sixth World Zionist Congress in Basel in 1903 by Zionism founder Theodor Herzl to create a Jewish homeland in a portion of British East Africa. He presented it as a temporary refuge for Jews to escape rising antisemitism in Europe. At the congress the proposal met stiff resistance.

Again, whataboutism and needless rhetorical questions to hide his hypocrisy.

The question is, at the peak of Covid-19, you blamed deaths and dwindling economy on Trump, but now, with Covid-19 tapering off and deaths increasing and the economy dwindling under Biden's watch, you don't want to blame the man who french-kissed his granddaughter on stage for health and economic woes.

Your hypocrisy always shines through.
Last I checked, the economy had not begun dwindling under drumpthfp, so you are claiming I blamed him for what hadn't happened yet. As for covid, he mishandled it and it cost him an election, the poor losing sod. But are you not forgetting that I hate him because he was not my body my womb, and he was a charlatan and a divisive individual and corrupt, amongst many other things you've read me mention here?

Hhmm.... Having accounts on certain social networks is simply a matter of choice. We aren't necessarily better than those who don't have accounts on Nairaland. They are neither ignorant nor adamant. They might just have other ways of getting information that they find more convenient. It is not a darkness vs light combat. It's just social media. Let's not over-philosophize it.
I never claimed those on Nairaland are better or less ignorant than those not on Nairaland. In fact, one could argue that Nairaland has less betters than better, the less better being here to learn about themselves and from others and better themselves, unless one wishes to argue that "just social media" does not enlarge one's view.

You are more likely to have your beliefs challenged if you re on Nairaland, is my point, though its certainly not the only nor the best place to learn. There's after all books, youtube, going to a proper education institution, etc. There's no doubt we evolve though, as those who been here long might confirm.

Only Biden, his deluded mind and White house bearucratic appointees believe that the sole cause of rising inflation in the U.S was the Russia-Ukraine invasion. Elsewhere every other person with common sense gets it - It's Biden's own creation, not "Putin's Price hike" as they would want the public to believe.
Actually, only ignorant uninformed people believe what you've written above. Smart people have been warning about inflation since way before Russia or Ukraine or Biden, but most are only noticing it now (probably because we were busy getting rid of drumpghtpf).

Cambridge and Oxford universities began as people congregating in those cities to learn from each other just as we do here and then a university evolved.

Not every one goes to Nairaland University, or school even. Some would rather not learn so they may believe in peace. Fortunately, and unfortunately for some, the darkness of ignorance can not prevail against educating light shining professors like yourself, as is written in the Book.

Nothing wrong with EU. You have big trading blocs in US and China. It's only wise that smaller countries should band together to become as powerful or more powerful than those trading blocs and be able to get their way in International trade thanks to collective bargaining power.

Forgive buda please, but the above is untrue! Adam was not given "authority to rule over the earth and to subdue it".

Adam was a gardener in Eden, which was a tiny portion of the earth that was to be ruled over and subdued by the more capable creation in Genesis 1 who was made in God's image and definitely not from dust.

According to the book, at least, and again, forgive buda.
