I was wondering how long it would take you to bring race into the equation.

Why are you people so scared to acknowledge and talk about race outside of your little dog whistles? You clearly don’t have a problem with posters here mocking and antagonizing blacks cause Ive seen you say nothing about it, yet you want to cry when I acknowledge race as a factor. It’s funny.

Floyd didn't have any national endorsements because he was a classless piece of shyt who beat women. To say he did it all on his own is laughable. He had to surround himself with people who helped him from going broke (which he managed to do more than once while he was worth millions).

This fact righteous BS is laughable. Since when has America had a problem supporting people convicted of crimes or people accused of crimes? There’s 10-15 women out here saying that trump sexually assaulted them in ways that he was caught admitting on tape, yet 60 million people went out and voted for him for president anyway. People couldn’t care less. I really don’t know why Floyd never had any endorsements. I suspect it’s because he has chosen not to. I was simply stating a fact of the matter, he became one of the highest earning athletes in the world without any national endorsements. That’s a hell of an accomplishment. None of the other highest paid athletes in the world can say that.

No s**t he has people around him to advise and help him out with his business. That’s what he’s supposed to do. How dumb are you? You think that Jeff Bezos doesn’t have talented people around him? Bill gates? Nobody does it all on their own with no help. It takes intelligence to know who to have around you and who to empower to help you. You have a pawn mentality.

His ring IQ as a fighter is second to none, but he also chose his opponents at at time when they weren't their best or not as good as marketed by his PR team. Bob Arum and Al Haymon are the brains behind Floyd, not Floyd himself.

Blah blah blah. Just acknowledge the man is intelligent in his own right and stop being a hater. It’s not that hard. You’re supposed to be a boxing fan right? Why spend time discrediting the best fighter we’ve seen of this era/generation? We all know that Floyd isn’t the most educated nor the most articulate. That doesn’t mean that he’s not intelligent though because his intelligence on display. Give the man his respect.

I haven't paid attention to this WBC WBA IBF character in a long time, so someone will have to get me up to speed. Is he/she still telling people that his/her account is run by 3 different people?

And that one of them is an industry insider that gets fed information from their contacts?

I can see the quality of their posts is still piss poor at least.

Blah Blah Blah indeed...

If your notion about advice were true, why do so many athletes go broke? You are naive and think that it is easy to get good, honest people, and that people will listen to these people, yeah right.

It is no discredit to athletes to point out when someone is lacking. We all have to contend with such, why not Floyd? And lets see where he is in the years that follow.

Sonny Liston was an example of somoene who took a lot of flack, that was cruel, because he was illiterate. Sony also was a very smart individual actually, and just expressed it through his training and understanding. Floyd is not an example of this. floyd looks for the limelight at all times, has a history of doing things that are awful, and not being a very trustworthy sort. Liston had his demons but could be a gracious individual when somoene just did not mistreat him.

Floyd's father taught him and brought him up, Liston's father as Sonny famously said "my old man never gave me anything but a beating." Floyd has all the tools he needs to be a decent individual and to live a productive life, he is not a victim because people call him out on his nature.

U boy light in his loafers!

They all do not begin or end; their matter is transformed in another matter. Life and death are the names we humans give to the processes, which happen all inside infinity. But I can't describe infinity; my brain cannot contain or depict that concept.

Imagination has to do with everything we cannot directly experience.

Sounds like strong social constructionism mixed with new age rhetoric. I suggest reading Bruno LeTour's 1980s-90s books when he claims that science as a discipline and method is largely socially constructed. I think his work will also offer you a more rational rhetoric and vocabulary so that you can move beyond new age tautologies and into far more reputable and rigorously developed philosophy, e.g. Baudrillard, Foucault, Butler instead of the likes of Ekhart (sp.)Tolle or any of the other gurus.

i love your approach.. now can you share more of your knowledge with me.... my minor was in japanese.. i should have taken chem instead.. any way.. have you ever read any japanese authors?

Not many. In fact, off the top of my head, just Murakami. When I read literature, which is rare, I like the old Beat writers as well as Henry Miller or Bukowski. I never read a wide variety of literature. I can say that my favorite writer is Dostoevsky. My favorite book is The Idiot. As you know, Baudrillard, Foucault, and Butler write theory and not literature. So, I guess I am not a "literary genius."

My field is mainly Continental Philosophy, but I also like Lacanian Psychoanalysis and some of the Postmodernists. I also research Bilingual pedagogy. I am generally happy with my studies without many regrets. I teach Philosophy at a university and have a PhD.

I responded to the poster to offer some reading that may provide him with more rational or concrete ways to explain or defend his conception of the cosmos. Essentially he can use his description of the infinite for anything and under any circumstance. It's just a poorly structured argument that is popular in new age circles. I deal with it a lot with my undergrad students.

I never cared much for the hard sciences or applied science. I recall when a student was designing a drone and I told him that my class was discussing drones. He asked about my class and I told him that we are examining the ethical implications of drone bombing. He said, "I just want to design them, other people decide what to do with them."

It's that cool detachment that appears to be prevalent in science circles that I don' like.

I s hit you not. when I started teaching high school in San Francisco one of the guys who helped lace me up was Mr Stephen Holdren. Holdren had changed his name to Bano! So they would think he was Hispanic and get him a job when he first started teaching! Lol. I remember being in his office and seeing his diploma with "Bano" on it lol. He was a crazy dude, I adored him. He died young pretty much after a binge. It was sad, his brother was also a teacher and called me. I don't think his family knew what a wild man he was... Dude used to party hard. But he was a great friend.
