  1. How can you discover something when there's already millions of people living there? If we're giving credit where credit is due, the American Indians discovered America.

  3. A semicolon tells the reader that what follows is closely related to the preceding clause. It has more effect than a comma, more power to seperate than a colon and more formality than a dash.

  4. Except the United States isn't a Democracy, it's a Fascist Dictatorship posing as a Democracy. But this fascism is so subtle, because it's so sub-embedded, because it's entirely a censorship of economy, that you experience it as a pragmatic reality instead of what it is, controlling and telling us how we are to perceive reality. Any soceity which sets out to call itself free and democratic, with the footnote that certain states of mind are forbiden, for example, is headed down the slippery slope of totalitarianism

  8. I did the math out of curiosity rounding off some numbers: Distance to Andromeda, 2.5 million light years = 15 trillion miles Average walking speed, 3 miles per hour = 27,000 miles in a year Walking Distance to Andromeda at 3mph = 555,555,500 years Lifetimes to Andromeda, 5,555,555

  9. There is no truth, there's just true enough.

  10. Counting calories is complete BS. Eat the food that the human organism evolved to eat over millions of years, and you don't have to worry about counting calories. Even people who are genetically predisposed to being fat can turn it around- it's what we're discovering through epigenetics- so even that isn't an excuse anymore. Ditch that Western diet, feed your body the optimal food and stop listening to these so-called "nutritionists" whose entire profession is predicated on false beliefs. I mean, I don't know if anyone has noticed, but we have hundreds of thousands of professional nutritionists in the US but diease is rampant amongst Westeners. Could it possibly be that everything they think they know about nutrition is BS?

  14. Have you ever heard of the Food Chain? The reef system is an integral part of the food chain of the biosphere. If you take out the reef system, your days are numbered. I know it doesn't seem that way, but ask any marine biologist.

  18. Life is eternal and death is only something the living have to deal with. We come to ourselves only after having had a history. With regard to our own death, we never really get to I'm dead. Life is all that anyone has ever really known.

  23. No you don't wink wink. Your preception is your reality. And consciousness requires three things: an observer, the observed and a connection beteween the observer and the observed. Without the three, you have no consciousness.

  25. ***** Yea, I love science because it gives me a new Ipad, and of course we can't forget penicillin. The search for truth requires rigorous self-examination, amonst other things. Science never gave me the truth, only a perspective of it, but whether or not science is the perspective we ought to take up, that is not itself a scientific question. But you're free to believe in whatever you think fits into your worldview, if you believe that the world is nothing more than a material realm, then science is your best friend.

  28. The United States invades where ever they want. They are used to that. But I cannot appreciate that type of government. I love the United States, I have many friends here. But I cannot accept a government that does what they want and they don't care absolutely nothing about the opinion of the population or the opinion of any other country. They do what's in their best interest. -Augusto Boal
    3
  29. I agree with you. I think it's in our nature to organize, but it's difficult to hypothesize about what future governments will look like. The internet is playing a huge role in how all this plays out, because I'm seeing more and more people starting to wake up to some of the abuses and scams being run by the late modernism, capitalism and government.

  36. gib803 That he discovered it for America? That's the same argument that travis used wich really doesn't follow in other examples. That's not the point they try to pound into your head in school when you're still Santa eligible anyway. Seems to me that his logic is flawed so I hope you have a better argument.

  37. Don't try to make this yourself by pouring molten metal and glass together into a bucket. It's a death trap.

  38. How cute, TED is planting seeds. My guess is they want you to ask yourself that question enough times and conclude that you are not your body, and what you're really after is Who is the Seer? Everything is in flux. There is no material permenance, only process.

  39. Insertnamesz / Punocchio Math is definitely not where my strength is. I flunked out of engineering in university because the trig was too confusing :-). My estimate did seem a tad low. One thing though, the rest of the planet really needs to get on the metric system! Would make life so much easier

  40. Tycoon Bachra same here. I noticed it recently myself.

  41. ***** There has actually been a series of lectures done by Stanford recently called hacking consciousness where they base the entirety of their lectures on that very point; that the underlying "stuff" in physics is consciousness. By no means does this imply a final verdict, but it just shows that smart people with credentials and all sorts of intellectuals are jumping aboard this notion. Even Dr. Pam Peeke from harvard made an appearance and spoke a bit on the subject.
    2
  42. ***** So you learned something about meditation. The whole lecture series is called hacking consciousness and all of the lectures are interrelated. I'll have to find the one about consciouess just give me a minute I should have it saved on in my history. I don't know what you expect to find anyway, you seem like the type of person whos mind is not easily swayed, which can be a blessing and a curse. And on that note, this does not imply a final verdict, like I mentioned earlier. What I took from this lecture is that more people are taking seriously this notion that consciousness underlies all of reality. I've always had an intuition about it, as many people do, but of course becomes easily ridiculed when downloaded into tasteless language. I'll post back when I find it...
    2
  43. ***** Not embarassed, it's just not a view that can be easily expressed, therefore it must be experienced. Telling you about it, the fact that it's highly subjective and not science fact-based, leaves it open to scrutiny via the language of mere words, and it's so much more than that. I'll say this much.. I love science because it's given us so many technological advances, but I think that's where it hits a roadblock. We live in a universe of unknowns.

  50. It would appear that way, but In physiology, body water or the water content of the human body, contributes a significant portion to the overall body weight, I think in some instances up to 85%. I don't know what branch of science studies this, maybe hydrodynamics, fluid dynamics... but if you have a good understanding in that field, you'll get why what you said can't happen.
    2
  51. Well that's a firm accusation you're making there, buddy!
    2
  52. Oh, and your logic is so out of this world...because you're saying that because there's scientific evidence for something, that makes it safe. So adderall, concerta, zoloft, ritalin, lexapro, zyprexa, etc.... all these drugs distributed to kids to control their behavior, and which they continually bash on this channel, are safe, because they have scientific documents attached to them? Winning argument there my man. How do you feel about big macs?

  53. I'm a guy and I agree, men have run things long enough and have led humanity into a blind alley.

  54. Well, most people are stupid and repeat everything they hear, so don't listen to them. So I guess you have to trust your own instinct on this and ask yourself why the Planet would make something that is only aesthetically pleasing.

  55. Do you have any concept of how many billions of dollars a year companies make by selling sunscreen? It's many many billions. I'll never see even one billion in my lifetime. And you're asking me if I've seen a document that shows that sunscreen is harmful to humans? LOL man. A think layer of mud can protect you from harmful sun rays, and being organic, it's probably less lethal. Sunscreen is obviously not good for you otherwise why bother printing all the health risk warnings on the bottle?

  62. suzyr82 Avacados have a high fat content.. I'm not surprised you eat a lot of those and gained weight. It's easy, eat the right foods and stay active. Easier said than done for many westerners, but that's the formula. We just complicate everything because we have this idea that we can improve on nature.
    1
  63. Pitchoo973 I get what you're saying about the survivability aspect and why we gravitate towards bad foods, but that can be circumvented by getting the body clean through fasting then eating natural foods. I never said it was easy, it's difficult, especially given our 9-5 work culture and accessibility to cheap and unhealthy food alternatives. But readily available and unhealthy foods is why disease is rampant in Western society and other cultures around the world. If we aren't willing to make a few sacrifices and changes to the way we eat, we can't expect optimal health.

  64. LordDragox412 Do you derive your protein from a specified source, like say, cooked meat?

  65. drummer265 yea I just pulled the number out of my ass. lol. Probably more like a thousand.

  66. Eric Koh I wish I could take credit for it, but all this is widely known amongst healthy eaters.
    1
  67. sonicpsycho13 I've never tried the paleo diet and I don''t know much about it other than what I've read in an article or two, but I believe it allows the consumption of cooked meat. I don't eat any cooked or processed food. I do agree however that the landbase and soil is probably not what it once was, but I take what I can get, try to stay organic (and I use that term losely) whenever possible and I grow my own food as much possible. I'm relatively new at this, and I don't think there's much data either way supporting the long term health benefits of eating raw fruits and vegatables, but I have nothing to lose becuase the typical western diet isn't working and there IS plenty of evidence to support that.
    1
  68. sonicpsycho13 Honestly, I didn't study chemistry so I can't run my own experiments and varify how many calories would be released from an apple for example, if I were to consume it cooked vs eat it raw. But to borrow from your example, I can't imagine that heating a ripe piece fruit would release 8,500 additional cal vs the 1,500 that would be released in its raw form. That just doesn't make any sense to me as fruits are farily simple compunds- sugar and fiber- compared to other foods. Either way, if you can provide me with the data I'd gladly take a look. I come from a country where meat and cheese is the staple food. We love our beef and we're actually one of the largest exporters of quality beef in the world. Colon cancer afflicts a large portion of our population, and much like in the West, most people die from cancer. So you have to assume one of two things, humans beings are condemned to suffer disease and illness or there's a problem with consuming meat and cheese. So I think saying that we evolved to eat meat is just a huge unverifiable claim. How can we really know? It's just another debate that will probably never be settled. So you try to make decisions based on the raw data and common sense. What is the raw data? Well, apparently, as I mentioned earlier, cancer and disease is rampant in modern society. What are the culprits? Look at the typical human diet. What do people typically consume? The big list is sugar, flour, meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, etc. Armed with this inforamtion you make lifestyle changes. That's honestly how I've approached this situation. I don't do it to be right, or becuase I think there's only one type of food humans must eat, after all, when I was a kid I survived primarily on junk food and candy, I'm doing it becuase I see the evidence before me and what people consume and I think to myself, "something's not right", then I stop thinking and surrender to nature. Look me up when I'm 80 and I'll let you know how it's going. I don't want to live forever, just want to die gracefully

  69. Mncdk I would support that claim if we all hunted and prepared our own meat, but we have to rely on the stuff from the grocery store that's mass produced and it just gets ugly from there.
    1
  70. LordDragox412 Hey man, our ability to digest a certain type of food isn't a good argument to support what we evolved to eat that type of food. Or else I'd be eating chocolate bars every day. I think what we evolved to eat is the fruit that ripens and falls naturally from the tree. How quaint is that?
    1
  71. Brian Saturnino It's fine to disagree. I guess if your goal is to gain muscle I can see why you'd want to count calories or consume special diet that facilitates building muscle, but I'm not sure why you'd want to gain fat. But if your ultimate goal is a healthy immune system, healthy digestion and a body that functions optimally, I think it's less important. I just don't see the need for it.
    1
  72. Brian Saturnino Hey no problem. Someone once said when you first meet people, treat them the best you can, then after that treat them as good as they treat you. I think we're all learning here. No one can claim to know more than anyone else. None of this is written in stone, but I wish it were because it would make life so much easier =).

  73. LordDragox412 Yea, sorry that my logic isn't as sound as yours : /

  74. LordDragox412 A claim of knowledge is nothing more than a claim without the evidence to back it up. You know, exactly what you're doing.

  75. LordDragox412 I had you nailed to the wall from the very beginning. Assertion without proof is the basis of faith. lol

  76. LordDragox412 Verbal diarrehea is confession of falsehood. I'm laying down some real gold nuggets today!
    1
  77. LordDragox412 I'm all ears when you're ready to make an argument with evidence to back it up.
    1
  78. LordDragox412 Yea, it means that you have to resort to insults and verbal diarrhea- a confession of flasehood- to debate someone. Technically I'm correct =). That really did bring a smile to my face. Too perfect lol.

  79. sonicpsycho13 We know fiber is a transport system and insoluble. So when drago mentioned something like an additional 8,500 calories being released by the application of heat, I assumed we were talking about nutrients available to the body- that's the point of all this- what exits as waste is not important. But that's how it is on youtube, sometimes you competence sometimes you get clumsiness lol. BTW- it's only a hypothesis that our large brain correlates to consuming protein/fats, it's not an established theory like say, for example, "the Earth revolves around the sun" That's a proven hypothesis. The brain/protein theory is speculation and there are other theories to contend with it. I'm not trying to nitpick, but I think you also might be off humans having short guts, our guts are relatively long compared to other mammals. Cats and canines do have a shorter gut becuase they do consume meat, which becomes putrid and needs to exit the gut early. BTW- what do you consider a short gut? I'm 90% sure on this but you can look it up, but the human gut length compared to other mammals is up there: I did a quick glance on this but it might be helpful: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/vestiges/appendix.html Last thing... to assume that the prevalence of cancer in modern society results from an increased life expectancy is an assertion that humans are intrinsically designed and predisposed to illnesses like cancer. I'm not convinced that's the case. For the sake of accuracy, let's avoid speculation and stick with the facts.
    1
  80. ***** Okay, I'll counter with "I do know what I'm talking about." lol
    1
  81. sonicpsycho13 I'll have to agree to disagree with most of your points as they're assertions without proof... but I'm actually very interested about one thing, link me up to the credited source that you used that factually shows that brain size correlates to early human's consumption of protein/fat. I'd like to know where you got these "facts" because I suspect they're also unsubstantiated, but if there is evidence out there, either way I'd like to know about it.
    1
  82. sonicpsycho13 I'm sorry, but there's a difference between stipulation and discovery. For an argument to be valid, you must have consitency, but validity is not soundness, it's not truth. If you want certainty, you need validity and sound premesis. An argument that doesn't have sound premisis, can yield false conclusions. i.e. "Homonid brain-body ratios raising along with the discovery of artifacts used for hunting, skinning, and butchering = increased brain size" which doesn't take into account other environmental factors that could have been present leading to an increased brain size. One must not pretend to know, or have answers to questions when we don't have them. We all just assume reason's realiability without foundation, without justification, to support our knowledge claims. Reason, broadly construed, is based on presuppositions. And having presupposed a pile of things, we use reason to arrive and elaborate and defend things that make up our web of belief, or pre edifice of knowledge. That's not how logic works. I assure you, that the increase in brain size theory is still up for debate.
    1
  83. sonicpsycho13 You're right. The way I posed the argument suggests thatI meant to say humans are intended to eat only raw fruits and vegetables. It's pure speculation on my part drawn from several factors that I've already mentioned (read back through this thread). That's not what I meant to say at all. Just so we're clear, I don't profess that raw veganism is the food source. We are adapted to eat a variety of food sources, however, not all food sources are treated euqal. All along I've been talking about food source for optimal health, and I believe that to be raw fruits and vegetables for several reasons. There's no data either way that contradicts my belief, and when data does pop up, I will incorporate it into my belief system. I'm tenacious, but not rigid in my beliefs.

  105. carpo719 they need to legalize it
    1
  106. carpo719 Its illegality hasn't stopped me from doing it or sourcing it, but I was thinking that if more scientists tried DMT, they would discover that understanding the whole of reality is a pointless undertaking. It's like when you do DMT and when you're back you try to express your trip but it's difficult to put into words because sometimes there aren't any fucking words to describe what you experienced? Well, that's kind of how reality is. We can understand bits of it, but you can'd describe reality in humans words, it's for chaos and mathematics. And even the math is incomplete.
    1
  107. carpo719 Well it's pointless in so far as to think we can actually do it- that is, understand everything- but that's not to say that we shouldn't try. We're curious by nature so we'll do it regardless. I don't know, I think that if a scientists who's intelligent, open minded and not so full of himself tried it, he might be humbled by the experience, and if he's an influential and powerful kinda fella, maybe he can pull some strings, change some policy... but I digress, I'm too much of a dreamer. You are right though, some of us are explorers, some of us are not. BTW- how pure can you get with your recipie?
    1
  108. carpo719 Hmmm, I'm jealous :-). I can get almost 98% pure stuff, or so they claim, but it's risky business. I remember seeing a video about it on here, and I gave the book a quick scan, but never actually read it all the way through. I have quite a few books on the topic- not just DMT- but entheogens in general. I found out about DMT how many of us found out about it I think, through TM.
    1
  109. carpo719 I'm def gonna finish reading it. I'm curious, do you do DMT solo and do you break through every time?
    1
  110. Neeboopsh You sound like a fella who's never never broken through on DMT, I could be wrong, but you tell me.
    1
  111. carpo719 Yea, I agree, but.... insight possibly into the inner workings of reality beyond our human relam, on a grander scheme? If you take DMT, I think it would prove challenging to bring back information that we can apply to the every day hustle and bustle of our human existence, because it IS so profound, so it's not for that, it's for contemplation.

  131. TheThinkingApeMan Yes, I get what you're saying about physical systems doing whatever it is that they do regardless of human thought, but two things; One, I don't believe that human thought constitutes consciousness, rather it's an aspect of it. I believe his definition of consciousness is something much deeper and more esential, beyond the boundaries of the human mind. Two, reality is strange my friend. I mean we've been here a bleep in the scale of time, and look at what we've discovered with quantum entanglement, for example, which violates all laws of classical mechanics, and we've just scratched the surface. Complex things aren't always what they appear to be

  134. ***** Brother, fine by me if you want to notch everything into a scientific paradigm for yourself, that's just not my thing. The "all things in science are not accepted until proven via experiment" is meaningless to me, because I don't live via those principles in life. So, you go live in your world of scientific reductionism and I'll live mine in my happy fantasy of pink fluffy make-believe. I mean does it really matter? We've sent a man to the moon but we can't solve world hunger or put a stop to endless wars. Poeple often ask, "what's wrong with the world these days?" I say, "Nothing's wrong with the world these days, it's the same its always been"

Well....you're accusing me of lacking some kind of formal education on "science of sunscreen", but as far as I'm concerned, you're equally as uneducated on the topic, unless you engineer the crap, in which case you're highly suspect, right up there with the CEO's of the company. What sets us apart is that I'm drawing my conclusions from logical and common sense perspectives, something which you also seem to lack.

"Because they're American" And you can probably think of many synonyms for American. I'm not going to go there because it's a sensitive subject, but you probably know what I'm talking about.

  158. Morals are costumes, and not the measure of perfection. 200 years ago it was moral to buy a human being. Our goals should be to create ethics. In Greek, ethos is the attendance to some kind of perfection, very different than morality. Morality is used as a club to grind down the dependent. And we can never subject our masters to the moral rules they inflict on us.

  167. We must evolve away from statism and into a new paradigm- a paradigm which doesn't involve aggressive force. A paradigm of universal morality. I think we have all forgotten about the Golden Rule. Such a simple concept, if observed by everyone, has the power to change the world overnight. We need to ditch statism and adopt a new powerful paradigm.
    1
  168. Someone gives you a moral rule, first thing to do is examine not the moral rule, but the exception. Who is not bound by that rule. Who gets to do the exact opposite. It will always be those in power. That is why moral rules exist. Any thinker who tries to apply universal moral rules is considered to be insane, because the purpose of universal morality is the exception, the violation.

  177. ​ @itninvestigate  It's something I stole from Terence McKenna. I think it was in reference to this quote, "We are asked by science to believe that the entire universe sprang from nothingness, and at a single point and for no discernible reason. This notion is the limit case for credulity. In other words, if you can believe this, you can believe anything.”

  178. I hadn't noticed that! If they keep going like this, Google is going to be synonymous with fuckup. Here's an idea, Instead of letting the employees who just want to get paid and don't give a shit what the site looks like call the shots, why not allow the users, the people who actually USE Youtube, to vote on what the best layout is? After all, we're the one's who use the site.

    1
  202. :-) that's very nice. I've always found the idea that the brain gives rise to consciousness fascinating, but that begs the question, what gives rise to the brain? It's kind of weird to ask that but we need a brain to give rise to consciousness. It's like the chicken egg debate.

  205. I assume you're referring to certain kinds of biological life that don't have a nervous system but can still sense their environment? Like the Venus Fly Trap? However, even thought it can't be proven that consciousness resides in the mind, we're talking about conscious awareness.
    1
  206. The brain could just be the receiver of consciousness that's manifesting consciousness on the physical realm. Then when you destroy the receiver, the signal is still there. Just as when you destroy a TV set, the tv signal is still there. There is no scientific way of testing this.
    1
  207. We don't have to.

  208. So I consume a plant, and some guy with a gun takes me against my will and throws me in a cage, and you don't think that's oppressive?

  212. Damaging certain areas in the brain to alter consciousness is not evidence that consciousness resides in the brain; it's just evidence that you're damaging areas in the brain that alter human perception. Entheogenic substances have the same perception altering effect.
    1
  213. Is calling someone a fucking idiot integral to the point you're trying to make? There's a reason soap and lotion manufacturers don't test their products on humans but rather animals before the stuff goes to market. And some people have issues with animal testing, so there ya go, that should tell you something. Wise up fella.
    1
  214. I wish Obama was autistic
    1
  215. I get what you're saying. However, there's lot of stuff out there that we still don't understand so we make due with the theories that best explain the phenomenon with the science that we currently have. That's our modern take on consciousness. It's not unlike the Higgs Boson which gives matter it's density but which there is no evidence for. The only thing they have to go on is that matter has weight, but we haven't found what gives it weight, so they came up with the Higgs Boson.

    1
  223. I don't agree with you. But if you're right, and we do need governments, which really is nothing more than a bunch of people telling other people what to do, then the governments of the future will have little resemblance to current governments, which use aggression to force you to do something that you don't want to.

  224. You're even more stupid.

  225. Yeah, I hear ya loud and clear. I hated the old layout too then I go used to it, but then again, not much else I can do. If the changes they made were an improvement, I would say so, But first impressions don't lie. As far as the functionality, it's not very intuitive and I've found several bugs. I know they test before rollout, but gimme a fucking break. And aesthetically speaking, it's obvious that a bunch of geeks work there. Not that there is anything wrong with geeks, but they can't dress

  238. Fat chance modern science will solve deja vu becuase "science doesn't deal in subjective experience." That statement has always made me laugh because every single experiment that has ever taken place has been a subjective experience, i.e. the mind body problem. You have to eradicate the subjective to get the objective. And that's the problem with science.

  245. It's often been argued that Governments are an extension of our family...mom and dad being the governments, citizens being the children. And that's exactly how the government sees us, as children. But sooner or later we all grow up, and future governments will hopefully embrace that truth so that all men are truly created equal. Everything else will follow.

  246. Our scientific knowledge is not suitable to find the answer to what is consciousness, but maybe one day.
    1
  247. okay...

  248. I don't know where it resides, but I think it doesn't reside in the mind. I think the source is elsewhere. Probably a quantum level event that we don't yet understand. But consider that individual atoms aren't conscious, nor three, nor 300, nor 3,000, but trillions of atoms in a particular sequence emits consciousness?

  257. I know that you believe that there are people out there who solved this debate and age old question, but it is simply not true. Whoever told you that it's settled didn't know what they were talking about or lied to you. The mainstream model of consciousness that we have today definitely sees it as something that is produced in the brain. The other view is that the brain is the receiver of consciousness that's manifesting consciousness on the physical realm.

  263. No, I am not one of those people. I'm one of those people who believes that nothing is what it appears to be. Therefore complex, difficult, tricky, mercurial things are even less likely to be what they claim to be. The data stream for sunscreen companies is suspect. It's a billion dollar a year industry, and the CEO's have an obligation to keep their stock holders happy. Personally, I don't think they couldn't care less whether or not you die from cancer. Sunscreen isn't essential to life!

But allow me to clarify... when I said that I drew my conclusions from logic and common sense, I was referring to the fact that it's common sense that some wisecrack came up with a smart marketing scheme and some shit to plaster on your skin to block off the "harmful rays" of the sun to make a butt load of money, and people just eat it up and that mofo is laughing all the way to the bank. Anything is harmful in excess

People are waking up to the fact that governments use aggressive force and establish petty laws that only benefit the powerful. I can tell you for sure and for certain, the future that your gov has lined up for you is going to make it very questionable as to whether it is going to be one you want to live in.

Whether or not that's true, I don't know, you kind of have to take their word for it, but it's interesting. It has interesting implications on reality.

  276. the central message of the philosopher Heraclitus was "panta rhei"... ... All flows. Nothing is permanent. And this is the hardest message life has to teach. Because what it says is your joy is transient, your anguish is transient, your fortune, your home, your dreams, your moments of great extacy, your moments of great insight, your moments of great empowerment, everything is flowing through your hands the moment that you are aware of it.
