How Do You Handle Assaults on the World Wide Web?

To Be is to Be Perceived: Falling Trees in the Woods
Like Xeno’s paradox, the counter-intuitive claim of Bishop Berkeley (pronounced Bark-lee for some strange reason) that esse est percipi, to be is to be perceived, is difficult to refute. The good bishop argued the world outside of us is only … Continue reading

Same Circumstance, Same Savior, Same Song
