@Xian

To be honest it’s my fault for thinking you had insight on this when the first line of your post is simply untrue

The first line of my post:

By living today to the best of your abilities and talents.

You say that is simply untrue?  Why would you think that?  Can you explain?

Xain read the last few lines, they touch on your question.

Guess I was just sick of listening to your emptiness and I wanted to present what things look like from another persons personal perspective.

Your obsession with meaning or lack there, is spinning wheel.  Time moves fast and in the end all will revert back to cosmic dust and nothing…[Read more]

The premise of your statements that “time is perceivable …”, that it has a “structure” and that it is a “temporal dimension”  is that it exists in the physical universe and that it requires a consciousness to discern it.  I don’t buy it.

These are always very strange discussions to try and figure.  Where are you coming from, it makes no sense.

I think she likes the stud.

Grrrr.

By living today to the best of your abilities and talents.  Just came back from my last walk with Maddy, often it irritates me that I need to take her out, yet again, yet every time I’m back outside, such as tonight with the big full moon, snow still on the ground to add that magical sparkles, Maddy sniffing out the latest wildlife doings, lately…[Read more]

That’s funny Mriana, I was working with this video from the Climate 101 group today for an blog post I’m working on.

Somehow seems relevant.

That’s not Almighty God, that’s crazy people committing crimes against Nature and Humanity

No actually that was a hoax.  It’s so ease for the right wing media to create scapegoats, distract us from the physical real…[Read more]

Sree, ever hear of telephoto lens?

Sree said,

Australia’s climate definitely changing? Based on what evidence? One degree Celsius rise in one hundred years. I would like to see the evidence: data gathering locations and protocols, when temperature measurements began, and the math that led to the conclusion.

Sree, are you f’n serious!?!?!?  You do…[Read more]

Who said anything about spiritual phenomena? I asked for factual, empirical evidence of DEATH! Forgive my shouting.

Sree seriously, isn’t that precisely what W4U gave you at #318274.

I thought it was beautifully written, with one itty bitty oversight, omission.

Not only do we live in the memories of others, but we also live on in the cascading…[Read more]

Really.

Now Jehovah Witness, wow Widdershins, where will the surprises end.

I’d love to run into you sometime.  Like at a creaky old Greyhound station and discovering we are standing in line for a same long cross-country bus ride.  Big country like across the prairie.  A little smuggled hooch to help lube the conversation.  Yeah, makes me thi…[Read more]

Everything you mention is old hat by now.

And still you don’t get it.  Should try listening a little harder.

Then you say

I’m all about 4D now.

What does that mean.  What?  You just discovered time?

Widdershins, I wouldn’t have figured you for a cartoon aficionado.  The guy, no surprise there.   😉

Me?  I liked Fantasia a whole bunch   🙂

That one can still get me rolling on the floor.

What an awesome performance he put on that night.

… and then there was the German gynecologist having fun . . .

Thanks for the memories Robin!

Not to mention threatening to the Male Ego’s weak underbelly.

But T rump is a pathological liar, so who knows?

Keep a close eye on FOX faux news, they’re the ones making the calls, since they know how to sooth and communicate with the greedy baby.

The individual scientist may continue to have faith in their own speculation, but that is independent of the scientific conclusions.

Well said.   The beliefs are personal things, whereas the science seeks rational objectivity.

Which is why The Community of Scientists, scientists who are curious, skeptical, competitive and always looking for…[Read more]

Faith and critical thinking are polar opposites.  You have one or the other, never both.

Sounds pretty black and white – like saying you are straight or you are homo with no in-between.

We’re humans, we tend to live in the gray zones.

Compartmentalizing and selective denial for survival sake are also human traits difficult to quantize.     😉

W4U (others),  There’s a big tendency to take quantum effects and try to unfairly extrapolate those subatomic effects onto the macro world.

It’s the foundation for a lot of woo.

My understanding is that things simply don’t not work.

I haven’t kept up on physics since those early days when I spent a lot of time meditating on books,  yet I n…[Read more]

The Bible does have one transcending message:

God Is Beyond Human Understanding.
