Except didn't the Taliban win?

Actually, except for a change in terminology, S&H say exactly the same hing that I said. The S&H terminology did include a number of catalyst events occurring before a single trigger event. The catalyst events preceded the regeneracy. They can be important. For example, in the Four Freedoms speech,...

Brief Unity

I think that the events of today prove that I'm right and that you're wrong. Did you see George Bush's speech? Did you see Kamala Harris's speech? Both of them talked at length about the country's unity after 9/11/2001. That's because 9/11/2001 was a Regeneracy Event. That's fine if regeneracy even...

Re: Polyticks: Bob Butler's Perspective

Apparently I was right about that, since you found it interestingenough that you've written an entire Dostoyevsky novel in response. Ideally, I’d like your rules to be consistent. I wander onto your primary thread only when mentioned by name or to make a brief comment that will not divert the threa...

Conservative Perspectives Ending

So I had to deal with the fact that you were trying to destroy the forum and that you were insulting to all other forum members. Not trying either of those things. I was trying to get people to pay attention to the currently ongoing crisis. Instead, all are focusing on imaginary wars that have neve...

Trigger vs Regeneration Events

First let’s make it clear that an essay on supposed regeneracy events is not on Bob Butler’s Perspective. John claims he is enforcing thread perspective, meaning no one can ruin his own threads perspective, but he doesn’t hesitate to ruin other people’s threads with his. Second, I have already answe...

Re: Polyticks: Bob Butler's Perspective

I think BB is blaming them for procrastination. They should have gotten out as soon as Biden announced the pullout. But procrastinating is easy…I’ve done it myself on numerous occasions. Correct. They should have started getting people out early. But gotta go. I have to get my car inspected by the ...

Botch?

Spending more lives and money to keep a highly corrupt and unpopular government in place would have been a botch. Getting out may have been unpopular in certain circles, and they certainly could have used their time getting folks out better. I suspect it is those who hoped to stay that delayed. But,...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

I am almost sympathetic with the stalinist censorship. The religious bickering deserves its own thread.

Re: Polyticks: Bob Butler's Perspective

Anyone can make a prediction. Maybe not an accurate one, but they can make a prediction. As I suspect Generational Dynamics lies on a foundation of straw, I expect the predictions that come from it will fail. As for the near future, the Delta variant of Covid will continue to convince more people to...

We're waiting expectantly for a regeneracy event.
Ok, thank you.
Mind you, if you are waiting for a machete that unites, you may be waiting for a while.
