Please be informed that buda does not hate on anyone except willfully ignorant people regardless of race, tribe, religion, creed, gender, sexual orientation, etc etc etc.

I just can't stand those who refuse to learn.

TheSuperb:
It's not possible for you people to unite against your masters. Or you want them to deny your leaders political positions?
The only time you yorubas can be united is when you want to hate on the Igbos.

so,you expect those people to leave there means of livelihood, just because they want to buycott cow meat,they should bring other options that won't affect anybody means of livelihood, because you and I can't feed them.

No, I do not expect anything of the sort from those people.

What I would hope is my people go and do Ruga on our own land and grow our own superior better cattle so we can make even more money and live better livelihoods.

The world wasn't created in six days, the world was repopulated in six days!

There was a time it was taught and believed that the world was created in six days. There are even people here on NL who will argue that the world was created in six days. And they will not claim their knowledge is relative, but that those who do not believe as they do are ignorant.

shadeyinka:
In other words knowledge is still being refined because we live in a universe consisting of limitations and constraints.

I have said this, that knowledge is never complete because there will be the unknown tomorrow, knowledge of which we will never have until it becomes today. You may therefore say, knowledge is relative to space and time, a position Heidegger takes in his Being and Time (which I implore you listen to the first 30 minutes), but knowledge is not relative with respect to people at the same space and time.

We will not say, "the knowledge of maths of an ignorant person is relative to that of a maths professor". But we can say their respective knowledge is relevant to the space and time they exist in. You can not relatively pass a maths exam if you write the wrong answers to the question, but your parents might be relatively pleased that you just sat the exam though you failed, while another parent might be displeased with their child for scoring 99% instead of 100%. The fact that Nigerians are not making computer chips is not because our computer chip knowledge is relative, but because Nigerians have insufficient knowledge to create computer chips.

shadeyinka:
The Allegory of the Plato's Cave is very similar to Religion where the "Father's" had a first-hand experience of seeing the rest of the earth and coming back to report.

It is more like religion in that those inside the cave believe the inside of the cave that has been preached to them generation after generation is the entire knowledge that is haveable as in available to be had. They basically believe that their ignorance is all the knowledge that is out there, so they do nit bother to.learn

The Father is like the Jesus who comes to change their beliefs and view, and we all know what was done to him, we crucified him.

The Father is also like the serpent whom we tell ourselves is satan though it opened our eyes. We vilify it.

shadeyinka:
However instead of ALL the prisoners leaving to check out what their "Father's" have seen to have the same "knowledge and understanding". Each moves to just one higher level of reality and thus arrive at different conclusion from their father who got to the level of having his eyes accustomed to the sun to see.

They arrived and moved nowhere! They so refused to move and arrive that they even bashed the head of the father who tried to make them move and arrive! If they were in the Garden of Eden, they would have obeyed the God and refuse to eat the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and their eyes would never have opened nor would they have become wise and self employed! If they lived in Jesus time, they'd be there yelling "Crucify him! Crucify him!"

shadeyinka:
So, generally, there is an awareness that the cave isn't the real reality BUT conclusions are distorted.

You are misunderstanding the allegory of the cave if you believe this! Those in the cave were so unaware of the outside of the cave that they bashed in the head of the one who told them about it.

shadeyinka:
Jesus came to guide us to have our own experience of the outside world. Some people also have come to a conclusion that if any information can not be perceived (from within the chains of the prison) then such is mere fantasy. This is the level of Atheists.

You are allowing what you believe about atheists to distort your perception. Not all atheists are materialists who only accept what they see. But that is aside. Let us concentrate on the forest in our own eyes please.

Yes, "Jesus came to guide us to have our own experience of the outside world". Yet, many Jesus people believe what they are told to believe instead of going out into the world to have their own experiences. Many remain blind inside the cave and are incapable of having their own experiences even if they stepped out of the cave. Can you understand if I said they live in a cage, and refuse to be freed by Christ?

Can you see that they are not like Adam and Eve who ate the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and would have remained blind and ignorant and enslaved in the Garden of Eden forever?

shadeyinka:
The parable of the elephant is ignorance because it is assumed that if the blind men could widen the scope of their exploration, they would see better. The blind people were not constrained like those of the Plato's Cave

Actually, they were constrained like those in Plato's Cave by the fact that they believed the incomplete information that they had was knowledge, which it was not.

shadeyinka:
I do not see knowledge as you have stated. Some knowledge is invariant irrespective of time, position and further knowledge WHILE other knowledge are subject to refining. When you look at knowledge generally, the conclusion is that it is relative (of course with the exception of knowledges that are invariant)

You are failing to separate information from knowledge, and are treating them as the same thing, which they are not.

Knowledge is not relative. It is the information one has that is relative to the person who has it. The Chinese will say, "the person at the top of the mountain sees further than the person at the bottom". If you sit on your ass you'd have little information and think you know a lot though you may know very little.

The knowledge one has is simply relative to how diligently one has climbed the mountain to knock and ask and seek for Knowledge that is out there waiting to be discovered. Those who climb not are relatively ignorant, at least relative to those who have climbed. And if those at the bottom claim they have knowledge, those at they very top will laugh and grin at the ignorance of those at the bottom, as will those who eat the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil grin at those who refuse to eat for fear that on the day that eat they shall surely die, when the truth is, they are dead already because they eat it not. For it is the lack of knowledge that kills, and not its acquisition.

Oh Mr Buda. Your daughter is fantastic. She knows mathematics very well. She likes to teach her classmates. What a brilliant daughter you have.

How wrong could this conversation between parent and teacher about a 2 year old child be?

We used to know for certain that there were 9 planets in our solar system. But now, Pluto is no more a planet thus we have eight planets in our solar system.

In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of “dwarf planet.”

Knowledge is also relative to better understanding. Scientific knowledge changes when a new evidence emerge.

You may read up:

Superseded theories in science
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superseded_theories_in_science

Knowledge is NOT absolute!

No one is claiming knowledge is absolute! If it was, the earth would still have been created in 6 days in 4004BC! And a superseeded theory is not the same as knowledge or relative knowledge that you claim is between a two year old and a maths professor! A superseeded theory is not knowledge anymore, the clue being in the word superseeded, as in, it has been discovered to be ignorance which we wrongly thought or believed was knowledge.

Consider Plato's Cave. We may claim the ignorance of those in the cave is relative to their lack of knowledge or their knowledge is relative to the cave they are in. But we would not say their ignorance, or knowledge, is relative to the total knowledge that can possibly be had, and compared to the knowledge that can be had, we would say those in the cave are ignorant.

Consider also the parable of the blind men and an elephant. It is the flipside of claiming to have absolute knowledge, as in, having incomplte knowledge, which is not 'relative knowledge', but plain ignorance.

You are seeing knowledge as some subjective thing where incomplete knowledge of 2+2 can equal 3, but knowledge is not subjective like that, which is why you'd fail an exam if you give 3 as the answer to 2+2. And if you use such subjective knowledge to build a house it will be as one built on sand.

Shade. This is the fourth or fifth time we would tackle this. I put it to you that if knowledge is relative, then Allah is God, Yahweh is God, Ogun is God, Sango is God, Shadeyinka is God, and the stone on the floor outside my door is God, since we can always find people whom those statements are all relative to. Do you agree?

Christianity Etc › Re: Pope Francis Arrives Baghdad, Iraq, In Historic Papal Visit To The Region (pics) by budaatum: 11:46pm On Mar 05, 2021

Let us not forget the person welcoming the Pope.

Pope Francis will make history when he crosses the threshold of a small, rented dwelling in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf on Saturday. His visit to the home of Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani will mark a powerful moment in interfaith relations, experts say, and millions of people will be watching.

Sistani is Iraq’s leading religious authority and a preeminent figure in Shiite Islam, and his meeting with the pontiff will be loaded with symbolism: two global religious leaders sitting down together for the first time, Francis in white robes, Sistani in black, alone except for interpreters, during an encounter that many had expected the coronavirus pandemic would delay.

Francis, who arrived in Iraq on Friday, is the first pope to visit the country, and his four-day trip through its most prominent religious and political centers has briefly put Iraq in the spotlight for its religious diversity, rather than the cycles of violent conflict that have more often filled headlines around the world.

Pope Francis lands in Baghdad, beginning the first-ever papal trip to Iraq

“Both men mean so much to so many people, even outside their faith,” said Abbas Kadhim, a resident senior fellow and the director of the Iraq Initiative at the Atlantic Council. “This gives the pope’s visit more than one dimension. Normally, people expect the pope to visit Christian communities, but this visit is completely different: He is visiting Iraq in all its diversity.”

The momentous meeting has been months in the making, almost falling through at least once. It is expected to last less than an hour, and officials overseeing the visit say every detail has been meticulously planned, from how the two men will greet each other to where they will sit.

It will begin with Francis, 84, walking 30 yards from his vehicle to Sistani’s home in Najaf’s old city, a maze of narrow alleyways near the gold-domed Imam Ali shrine, where one of Shiite Islam’s most revered figures is buried. The pope will take off his shoes before he enters.

Sistani’s residence is modest, with little furniture. The 90-year-old ayatollah is reclusive, not known to have left his home in years, and visitors are rare.

“This visit will really solidify Najaf’s place and Sistani’s place at the center of global Shiism,” said Marsin Alshamary, a Brookings Institution research fellow. “It’s also a reminder that Sistani is a spiritual guide to millions of Muslims outside Iraq.”

Why the pope’s visit matters for Iraq’s Christians

Although born in Iran, Sistani has lived in Iraq for decades and is widely recognized as an Iraqi nationalist. He holds political as well as religious sway, making key interventions during times of crisis in Iraq.

In 2019, his backing of widespread demonstrations against the corruption that has stymied Iraq’s political system precipitated the fall of a prime minister. In 2014, it was his religious edict that brought tens of thousands of young men out to fight Islamic State militants who were sweeping across Iraq.

Politics › Re: Petrol To Sell For N230 Per Litre In March –marketers by budaatum: 9:38pm On Mar 05, 2021

budaatum:
Electrical Tomatoes

The emboldened is about the only bit of this that got my attention but I notice it caught no one else's.

"Price controls"! It means a product is kept at a price set by government, and in Nigeria, we know it's kept low and very likely beneath the cost at which it can be sold at a profit. Like petrol really. But we can at least claim a reason for petrol with our crude oil and our ineptitude at running refineries. Electric though!?

Imagine it were tomatoes. You invest in land and fertiliser and labour and grow them, and when you get them to the market, government sets the price. I'm absolutely certain if that price is higher than the cost at which you grow your tomatoes, you wouldn't mind much. You'd likely be delighted if it's high enough for you to make a tidy profit. And if you're fortunate and the price set is so high, you'd likely invest in more land and more fertilizer and more labour and grow even more tomatoes. But this is Naija, where the price set by government is more likely to be way below your costs so that after you sell your tomatoes, you would have lost money.

Now think, you lost money on your tomatoes. Are you going to plant tomatoes next season? If you're into the charity business or you're stupid, you just might. But if you're not and have rent and school fees for your kids to pay and you want to eat and pay the interest on a loan I very much doubt you'd be stupid enough to throw your money away growing unprofitable tomatoes!

Well, that's the case with electricity in Nigeria I'm afraid. You generate it, transport it along unreliable transmission wires, lose a large chunk of it to illegal use and theft and what you do get paid for does not cover the cost of producing it. Now tell, would you plant electricity next season? I very much doubt it unless you're into the charity business or you're stupid, of course, but somehow, I just can't imagine you'd be either.

So, what's the solution you might wonder. Increase the price of electricity of course. But come on people, increase the price of electricity so electricity planters can earn more money and plant more and sell more? Surely you must be cursing me by now, or haven't you noticed you'd have to pay more for my electric if you want it?

Ok, perhaps you're all nice civilised folks and don't want to curse me so let's try a different way of looking at this. Imagine Buhari removes the price control so I can sell my electricity at a market determined price like I currently sell my tomatoes no doubt at a profit high enough for me to want to plant more next year. Are you cursing me yet? I'm sure you would be if it was the subsidy on petrol I were talking about removing. Hell no! You'd likely stone me if you could get your hands on me!

Well, that's what this piece is saying where it says "The private sector is given little incentive to invest.” After all, I'm in the electric planting business for the money and the profit and not because I love you all as Adam Smith would say, so why give you light if you aren't paying me for the priviledge! And you wanna complain you're in darkness?!

When you pay me enough to cover my planting of tomatoes after paying for the land and the fertilizer and the labour and the interest on a loan and cover what I lose to theft and illegal harvesting, and still make a tidy profit to reinvest, I will plant 12000megawatts of tomatoes and I will sell 12000megawatts of tomatoes and even more megawatts of tomatoes than you can eat even because you would be incentivizing me to invest what you pay me in more land and more fertiliser and more labour to plant more tomatoes so I will have more tomatoes to sell you and make more money. But if you want cheap electric, keep your price controls and don't incentivize me but don't expect me to waste my time labouring in the sun just so you can have light because, like you, I ain't that stupid nor into the charity business!

Anyone cursing me yet, because I am telling you, we are too cheap!

shadeyinka:
You have a point, however, zombeism should be characterized by the "herd syndrome". Following dogmas without independent thought about its correctness or not. Don't zombies not prefer moving in groups?

First, part of what must be on the Tree of Knowledge of one who seeks understanding, is some linguistics, as in the use of language. I for instance will tell you that I do not live in a "should world" as it implies how one expects or would prefer the world to be. I guess that's why the blue or red pill in the Matrix does not appeal to me because it implies the distortion of perception, and not the real world, as in how the world actually is. That is why the Optician Jesus Christ cures eyes, so that one may see what is really there instead of the "should world" we create inside our own minds.

Zombies may prefer to be in groups, but groups are made up of individual zombies.

shadeyinka:
What would you call a person who will usually outrightly thoughtlessly reject any opinion or position by others? I'm sure it wouldn't be a zombie: it would be an antisocial rebel ( for usually they are loners)

I would call such a person an idiot. And they may not be alone, as you might see here.

shadeyinka:
Religion initially is like learning indirectly from the first-hand experience of your father.

Actually, it is not "learning indirectly from the first-hand experience of your father".

Religion is actually the acceptance of that which one's father thoughtlessly accepted from their own father and thoughtlessly fed to you.

shadeyinka:
My take is that, if your father forbid you to question his real life experiences, his experiences could as well be made up!

Most people's father forbid them from questioning that which they thoughtlessly accepted from their own father unquestioningly!

shadeyinka:
Religion ALWAYS have a basis in that which we do not have the initial first hand experience,....

Exactly! And neither did your father have first hand experience of what they religiously handed down to you and which you might hand down to your children if you do not question it either. Its like the sins (ignorance) of the father being handed down through the generations.

shadeyinka:
.....however, we have our senses to navigate through to a point we have our own personal experience (so that we can know the WHY/UNDERSTANDING behind our FAITH and our BELIEFS?

As in, after you might have become fortunate to have been blessed by Christ (Understanding) coming into your life, then you may begin to use your senses. Amen.

shadeyinka:
May not be correct because it is impossible to know and understand God through our Intellects alone. We can only truely KNOW God when He reveals Himself unto us.

This is only true if your eyes are dim. Once you understand that the eye is the lamp of the body and undim it, you might then gradually understand how to undim the rest of your senses. And who is to say what you may find if you ask and you knock and you seek with all your thy heart and with all thy soul and with all your mind and being? Who can tell what might be revealed to you God?

Would you not agree that it might be different to what is revealed to a person who lazily sits on their ass finds?

shadeyinka:
The God of my Father is not yet my God until I know Him. Unfortunately, even knowledge is relative hence, it seems God is gracious (not to expect perfection in knowledge of Him from us) to accept us BELIEVING in Him.

The blind see, the lame walk the dead rise and the Gospel is understood by some indeed. God is merciful enough to not measure us all by the same standard.

Knowledge, however, is not relative since you will not say a person who claims their 2+2=3 is knowledgable. You will definitely say their knowledge is relative and then hire such a person as your accountant, I would hope.

shadeyinka:
Thus, a primary school child can believe in God, not because he has all the knowledge, but a willingness to take a POSITION of trust with his incomplete knowledge and understanding.

Nonsense! A primary school child believes in God because it is ignorant and has been fed nonsense that has not yet developed the ability to question so it may learn and acquire knowledge. Its knowledge is so incomplete that it is ignorant and should accept it is ignorant and correct its ignorance by learning.

shadeyinka:
Every Christian should learn to grow from BELIEVING into FAITH in God.

And that is precisely what Christianity is about, Shadeyinka, the continued becoming as ignorant as a child who does not believe anything and therefore questions so it may learn and know.

Unfortunately, the devil who can enter the Garden of Eden and corrupt it, has also entered the mind of humans and made us believe instead!

But God does not rest. We will be saved! In Jesus Mighty Name.

No

You still get me wrong.
Govt should clear away from civil right liberties that we hold dear. What is govt doing forcing me to accept ideals I dont hold.
Govt out of our lives, we can go shoot racoons and deers without some power brokers telling us we need to in the forest.

But what happens when the "civil right liberties that you hold dear" are not the same as the "civil right liberties that I hold dear"?

In fact, do you know what civil rights are? Let me not waste time waiting for you to tell me rubbish and just educate you!

Looks like you never understood me. I meant Govt has a role in regulating our lives,

Nonsense and rubbish! No wonder you think government is regulating your ass with a diq!

The only person who has a role in regulating buda's life is buda, and perhaps you too should learn to regulate the life of basilico instead of allowing yourself to be fuqed by some government or trying to be government so you can fuq others!

HAHAHAHAHA, my buda. I have never been the one cavorting this section or any other of this forum in staggering self-aggrrandizing attempts to drawing absolutely ottiose attention to my erudition by copying and pasting only surface-deep explanations on practical subjects. If you have got proofs of me unscrupulously stooping so low, you may present them.

It is because of ignorant people like you, aadoiza, that buda makes a clear distinction between that which is buda's creation and that which buda copies and pastes, but you are far too dimwitted to understand and know the difference.

But don't you worry. We will evolve you so that you too may know. buda promises you that.

Always regurgitating bile-laced toxic, and infectious ignorance but would cloak his puerility under self-delusory megalomania.

You really need to stop projecting yourself on others while hoping it would not be noticed that you are really too ignorant to realise that you are describing yourself.

Looks like you never understood me. I meant Govt has a role in regulating our lives, but should limit its role as much as possible without forcing anyone to accept what the welders of power think whats right for my mind.
Just that.
Let govt create an enabling environment for me but not force me to accept what some crazies in govt determine how I should have a world view

You are the one insisting that government is forcing you to abort and take a diq up your ass, when all that government is creating is an enabling environment for those who wish to abort or put a diq up their own ass. But I guess you will insist on not seeing the difference.
