  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.

  17. The coral reefs affect the health of the oceans. The health of the oceans affect the health of the marine life. The health of the marine life affects the health of the entire eco system. That kind of includes you. You should care.

  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.

  21. SuperDrRockzo Yes all of this is old news, which is why his closing remarks is that we need new minds to look at things differently. TED is just using a young face to appeal to kids and get them interested in cosmology.

  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.

  27. No one's shoving anything down your throat. You clicked on the video. All you have to do is sit back and let the people who care do their job. I just wanted to make you aware that the reefs make a huge impact on your existence.

  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

  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.

  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...

  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.

  45. The part of the story they left out is that later that night, the guy that offered the umbrella, showed up at the other guy's house and murdered him with an axe. Moral of the story, don't trust your first or second impression, trust your third.

  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.
