Discounting

I'm not discounting that possibility.

Before my own father passed away, we talked about the afterlife. My father had said that at his death, his "mind" would transfer to a newborn baby on a different faraway "planet," and there, he would grow up. Despite Roman Catholic and Baptist influences, my father believed in rebirth or reincarnation and other non-Xtian ideas. In the 1970s, he read books by Tuesday Lobsang Rampa and Erich von Däniken. Also my Filipino friend Greg believes in some non-Xtian ideas, despite that he claims to be a hardcore Baptist. It is difficult for others, especially Westerners, to understand my religious stance, of being a Syncretist, chiefly Buddhist-Animist, but not discounting other belief systems, and even inclining towards Science.

It is human to have experienced losses, defeats, put-downs, snubs, rejections, criticisms, and discountings.

In Excerpts 15 and 16, G more directly claims and imputes knowledge as means for substantiating her position, relying on these alternative resources in responding to S's discountings and withholdings and thereby legitimizing her pursuit.

Negative theology, by being overwhelmingly preoccupied with delineating what God is not (He does not possess knowledge the way human beings possess knowledge; He is not powerful in hte ways that human beings are powerful, etc.), confronts the paradox that unless there is some conceptually accessible core to God's Essence all of negative theology's disownings and discountings of God's attributes seem to lack an object to be about.

Similarly, discountings by FICBs are available only for short- and intermediate-term agricultural loans but not for the wide range of other rural credit needs.

Many of the ACC's planned to increase FICB discountings during coming years.

In economic evaluations, this time preference is taken into account by ariations of rates of discount or discountings, which in most cases depend on the current average interest rates.
