    Yes - long term we may well be even closer to the EU than May's deal, or not even leave at all. And the EU will happily facilitate our return to their fold.

     

    Y'all got to leave.  The EU must be broken.

    The idea of "an I with a free will" may be a useful fiction in courts of law, but that doesn't make it any more realistic as a psychological model of what actually happens.

    While that may be true, all other influences are unqualitative.  Cannot be verified or nullified.  Therefore only reality counts.

     


  3. One thing that led me to my conclusion was that saying "The Devil made me do it."

     

    No, no god or devil causes us thoughts.  It is our own mind and that is all.  Now true, our mind might be screwed up but it are still our own thoughts.

     


  4. Well, to the best of my knowledge we are still exiting the last Ice Age so it should be a given that there is global warming.

     

    Sure, we can point out many things about reality that we think could be better.  But who of us has the power to make the changes to make things better?

     

    So we stop worrying about the things we cannot change.
