  11. We percieve reality through our five senses, but reality is more than what the five senses can percieve. Food for thought.

  12. +Christoph Fischer It's one of those quirky esoteric things not easily understood. What is physical if atoms, they say, are 99% empty space and the remainder is just a vibration and a spark of light?

  13. +Frank Bushman Perfect formula.

  14. +Mikael Koli That's going to be a tough one to figure out, but pain could just be part of the program. Maybe the truth will be revealed when our time is up in this mortal coil.

  20. I learned this from the comedian Nikki Glasser, a man's ejaculate can travel 27 MPH...That's how fast Usain Bolt can sprint. So if he were to sprint at the same time of ejaculation the sperm would stay inside his body.

  21. alejandrinos Which was based on ignorance. However I think we're educated enough now to realize that TV is crap. We know that television acts like a drug. And the information coming down the tube is crap.

  23. Albin Carlstein I believe it is true when they say life is a series of journeys, and I don't know what it is all about, but I know that much is true. It's an interesting learning process, maybe that's what we're here to do, learn? I believe the leraning process is as important if not more important that socializing with others. Socializing is important too of course, becuase we're social creatures, and if we don't socialize, we go crazy, and I believe that's been shown XD, but educate your mind as well, and I don't mean a formal education, more like learning about life, finding out who you truly are and possibly how you related to the rest of the cosmos. "Know thy self", as Socrates put it. Unfortunately too many people spend too much time watching television and fill their minds with garbabe. BTW- thanks for your suggestion about engaging like-minded people, that's so important. I def need more of that in my life :-) Till we meet again, Albin!

  24. Albin Carlstein That's awesome! I'm glad you're making things happen and feeding your mind in the process. I think we could all be more social, right? I for one spend too much time on the web and not enough time engaging other people. All is well for me too. I'm def still striving to become the "ideal" me, I think that's one of those lifelong goals, I just try to have fun along the way and not take anything too seriously XD.

  27. its obvious that nothing is original we borrow everything from the world around us. Is anyone one seriously debating against that?

  28. I see what you're trying to say. It's a difficult concept to grasp, but I see what you mean. I think it makes even more sense if we're talking about imagination. If what they say about virtual reality is true, that in 30 years or so, we'll be able to virtualize the human mind and the time lapse between ideas and objectivity will literally vanish, true originality in the strict sense of the word, will be not only an idea, but a physical manifestation...in the virtual world.

  29. Well, someone has yet to invented a hat with a dildo sticking out of it, but if someone did, I don't think I would credit them with delivering an original idea.

  30. I would say it's "somewhat" original because you're taking two previous inventions- hats and dildos- throwing them together, and calling it someone new, which it is, in a way, but then again, it's not completely original.

  31. No problem mate. It's much easier to agree than to disagree. BTW- those aren't my ideas per se, and if you look up a guy by the name of Ray Kurtzweil, you'll hear him speak about similar ideas. He talks about the law of exponential returns- which means computers in 20 years will be a billion times more powerful, and how today they are a billion times more powerful than they were twenty years ago. He's a futurist, he'll blow your mind.

  34. @TheDevilSoul If you believe everything you read, then read this https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/mmr.html Then read the vaccine inserts. I'm guessing you haven't.

  35. @TheDevilSoulYeah, we all do it.

  36.  @bluepikman7851  Have you even read vaccine inserts? Straight from the CDC? Do you see the additives, heavy metals, chemicals, and dead baby parts that are being pumped into your kid? My baby has zero health problems, ZERO. When all of these chemicals are pumped into your child from birth through age 18 it lowers your body's natural defenses, allows the LIVE virus to get nice and comfy, and then boom your kid is dependent on big pharma to make them better. And that can happen with or without the actual virus becoming active. Even live viruses that stay dormant and don't make your child physically sick can cause long term health problems. Cancer, heavy metal poisoning, paralysis, gastrointestinal issues, thyroid problems, etc. Sometimes the cons outweigh the pros and if you can't see that you may need to 1) get your eyes checked 2) stop wishing harm to a strangers kid blindly

  37.  @bluepikman7851  No, if you get the plague you probably die because even vaccination has no guaranty. You can survive MMR without vaccinations. There's a risk/reward that you have to factor in. My kid didn't go to daycare, so the risk of him getting infected was negligible. Getting an MMR vaccine meant he had a 50% chance of getting an upper respiratory infection. I don't know if you're a gambling woman...probably shouldn't be... Anyway, now he's older and if he gets measles or mumps or rubella, it's not a death sentence.

  38.  @bluepikman7851  Newsflash, we all die, but I won't have to attend his funeral, despite your ill will, because he will build natural immunity, like the entire human race has done since the dawn of man.

  43. @Creation0012 Clothing works in a very similar fashion to the other technological advances but to a much lesser degree. You may ask to a much lesser degree of what? I remember Marshall McLuhan warning folks that when technology changes, man changes. Clothing has definitely changes man, but to a lesser degree than the others. But I'm more interested in how the electronic technology will change man.

  45. The war on drugs is really the war on mental illness, because research shows that an overwhelming percentage of people incarcerated for vicitmless drug related crimes suffer from mental illness...so basically the justice system locks people away for having a mental illness. Bravo.

  47. Silver Mirai I think we're on the same page. I think reality is totally different than what we think. I always remember a Terence McKenna quote, "reality is stranger than we can suppose." Meaning that reality isn't only strange, it's stranger than you can imagine.
    1
  48. Silver Mirai Indeed, no one knows the truth. You and I are not only part of the universe, but we are the universe, and some people seem to label things into an inventory of fragmentation. But the mind is all that can be known to exist. It's the only truth that seems to be self-evident. It's an awareness of now or what some call solopism. Problem is there's a dichotomy between objectivism and solopism. But to assert that some kind of reality exists independant of awareness is an affirmation that does require evidence (faith). It's kind of crazy when you think about it but the burdeon of proof lies in objectivism. In my opinion, that's the strongest case showing why we'll keep coming back here, or some other place in the universe, eternally, or at least until your consciousness evolves into a higher vibrational state and you become pure awareness. But now I'm just getting all hippy dippy.

  50. ***** Even if it turns out that consciousness ceases at the moment of death, which I don't believe to be the case, the oposite of continuum is non-existence. Non-being must feel, for lack of a better word, like the aeons the universe has been in existence before we came around. I think we would be so lucky if it finished in non-being rather than reincarnating back into this joy vs. pain of a roller-coaster ride we call life.
