Mediator between spiritual and sensual

Don't be deceived by the put on show by the rich and affluent. Everyone knows we'll never feed the world. But we could if...

You believe Beethoven's music is part of some grand deception connected to NOT "feeding the world"?

I am not asking for details. But clearly you are not denying that you might believe your footprint vis a vis alleviating the predicament faced by the poor and starving might be a bigger one than Beethoven's, if one were to "run the numbers", which you asked me to do.

You're all over the place. Now you're being absurd.

#1. I suggested you run the numbers relative to my meaning within the context where I said it. I did not "ask" anything.

#2. I never said, or gave any indication that I believed my "footprint" was bigger than anyone's.

That just you introducing into the discussion your pile of BS, like you always do, which throws into question your honesty and integrity.

You're creating a boldface lie.

I don't think I am.

Don't be silly. No single individual, no matter how wealthy in goods, talents and resources he may be, can feed millions and millions of starving people.

I do what I can, and if every individual in the world did equally, I think there wouldn't be one person that starves to death.

Run the numbers.

When you "run the numbers", do you find Beethoven came up short?

Did you not suggest that if everyone did as much as you do, there would be no starving people?

The context is your peculiar criticism of Beethoven and the way you have chosen to link him, in a bizarre way, to "the starving millions".

This is patently untrue. I am right in front of you, tackling your posts head on.

That's an idiotic question to ask, and has nothing to do with anything that's been said.

And yours is a post of a self deluded forum strutting peacock.

No you're not. Most of what you say is off topic and a mischaracterization of what was said.

I asked you specifically about Beethoven's possible contribution to feeding the world and you said :

"Don't be deceived by the put on show by the rich and affluent."

So, it raises the question: do you believe Beethoven's music is part of some grand deception connected to NOT "feeding the world"?

Did you not read what I said?
