@Tilopa Sexuality and sexual attraction are as diverse and complicated as each human being fellow citizen Thorpa."The myopic vision of humanity may be at least partially attributed to its stubborn adherence to battles that can never be won."SearingTruth

@Tilopa I've known many gay and bisexual people who believe that my friend Thorpa.But the truth is that our sexuality and sexual attraction are determined by a plethora of biological factors that we have no control over.That's why prejudice is so nonsensical, in all senses, as humanity is greatest together.ST"We should focus upon a beings ability to process and utilize not only fundamental and precisely defined arts such as reading and writing, but also the much less precise art of being human."SearingTruth

@edgeoforever The moderators at Raw Story were unbelievably abusive when I attempted to post there fellow citizen edgeoforever.In fact I'd never encountered anything like it in almost 4 decades of posting online, from the right or left.At first someone complained about my posting style, with immediate comments signed "ST" and observations from my book "SearingTruth", but of course I thought nothing of it as people complaining about the messenger instead of the message are common.But wow, within moments I discovered that the person complaining was a moderator, as they threatened to ban me for spamming if I didn't stop posting as SearingTruth, as I have for decades.Naturally I assumed this moderator was an aberration, so I emailed Raw Story and was told the moderator could do whatever they wanted, and intimated that they may be a founder of the site.I know this doesn't seem possible, and I still find it difficult to believe myself.But I give you my word it is the truth.ST

"When I was three or four years old my father tried to explain the concept of America and nations in general.And at one point he told me that the land in our country belonged to all of us.This piqued my interest.Recently we'd been moving about regularly and in some places I had my own room and in others I did not, so I innocently asked ‘Where is our land?.’I will never forget the look of perplexed amazement and surprise on his face. In fact it is one of my earliest recollections.And it was the first time he could not explain injustice to me.And the first time I even knew what injustice was."SearingTruth

"In my early 20s I was a member of Vacaville Bible Church, and enrolled in an informal school taught by Pastor Blanton, in hopes of becoming a pastor myself.I desperately wanted an explanation for the suffering of humanity.But after reading the many texts presented me I decided that the religion was simply not true.Just a desperate hope.So I spent the next decade exploring as many beliefs as I could, from Bahia, to Buddhist, to Hindu, to Christianity, to Islam, and a plethora of others, in all their incarnations.And though I wanted so much to believe, at that time more than anyone I knew, I ultimately decided none of them were true.And that our only hope was humanity itself."SearingTruth

"A Grand Challenge (Part 1 of 4)My friends, the simple truth is that we are wasting our precious time, resources, intellect, and passion. As a species we are just as aimless today as when our primitive ancestors first ventured out upon this earth.Today I am proposing that for the first time in human history, we change that.Radically.More than any time in history, humanity needs a grand challenge. Not only to avert its extinction, but also to indelibly etch the common bond of mutual reliance and cooperation on current and future generations.Fortunately, all of the forces that now seem to conspire against us can quickly be turned to our advantage.For the first time in human history we actually possess technologies so advanced that any physical problem can potentially be solved.And yet, I wonder, do we possess the will and wisdom to utilize them for our salvation instead of our destruction?I propose that we find out."SearingTruth, A Future of the Brave

"A Grand Challenge (Part 3 of 4)We shall at last unlock the fundamental secrets of our biology so we may conquer any illness or defect at will, and we shall free ourselves from the bonds of our native home so we may evade global calamities, and begin the expansion of our species beyond this world.No longer shall our survival be dependent upon the random and dispassionate forces of nature. No longer shall we quiver in anguish as we helplessly watch those we love suffer and die in agony from an endless list of human disease and dysfunction. No longer shall our globe be divided in constant turmoil and conflict while the hammer of fate hangs precariously balanced over all we know and love.We shall at last take control of our future, our fate, and ourselves."SearingTruth, A Future of the Brave, 2005
