This truly could set precedent for the new century.
That's a pretty wide scope for a book. I'd write a book about something else. Like a story about a hacker that gets caught up stealing information from megacorporations. Then in the background of the story you see the wealthy consolidating power and climate change happening. That'd be easier than writing a straight up story about wealthy consolidating power.
I don't even see how telepathy/twin-thought could be explained by quantum mechanics. I mean...I'm no physicist, but I don't see an explanation there. Electrons in two peoples brains are entangled so they think the same thoughts? That's not how your brain works. Everyone's neural patters are different. Flipping one electron's spin in one atom of one molecule of one neuron isn't going to make you suddenly read someone's mind. I think people aren't appreciating how complex this is.
thank you
Also, they may live for a long time and communicating one sentence could take years. They might perceive time differently.
Reminds me of Cowboy Junkies.
Wow, i haven't listened to this is so long.
I realize I'm quite early on this.
I don't deer hunt, but I'm from NW Florida. My older brother hunted. I can't really offer you much advice, but I will say enjoy it. I hope you're not just a trophy hunter. But being out in the woods is wonderful. It's like a zen thing. Once you are way out there and it's quiet you remember you are a part of nature.
https://hubski.com/primer Did you miss the intro when you made your account? Go to the bottom of any hubski.com page and click "tutorial". It'll answer all your questions. No reason to give the programmers more work for something so simple. It's already covered when you make your account, and the tutorial link is right there. I think if it needs to be any simpler it's not worth the time to code. It's already plain. Then again I really dislike overly simplified things. IMO people should be able to think and figure things out. It's a big problem in education today that people are becoming habituated to things be ultra simplified. Of course that's a personal belief. I just don't think in regards to hubski it would be worth the time to code. People are smart. They can figure out how to help themselves rather than create more work for other people.
be sure to share!
Can't really call Obama a lame duck. Pardoning drug offenders, helping legalize gay marriage, needed anti-discrimination laws.
Thanks
Eh, I skimmed through this article. Admittedly, I do not know enough about macroeconomics and international affairs to suppose if the Greek debt crisis is part of an orchestrated plan by international banking firms for the goal...what? World domination? I do, however, agree with his point at the end that a universal currency would be terrifying. I do not think that would be good for a labor force.
Philosophybro is awesome. His Wittgenstein episode with Partially Examined Life is super interesting.
Just hit the back button. ...also I think it posts. Don't keep resubmitting or it posts more copies. The problem is fetching the new page, not posting the link.
Give an example. You only know things based on your senses anyway. This is basically what Decartes, Berkeley, Kant, etc were interested in. Kant actually wrote a lot about ethics too, but he began with that "how do we know what's real" question.
Oh, no I'm stoked you posted it. It's thought provoking. Sometimes I wonder if it's a game where the ultra wealthy elite such as media moguls make plans for example who will be the next president, and then basically battle the public with their agenda. Like a strategy game, media influence and resources vs will of the people and individuality. That's probably more of a post-modern 1984 fiction than the more mundane truth. I tend to think nobody really knows what's going on. Everyone is just working from their vantage point sometimes at odds with each other sometimes together. All of the actors constantly subverting everyone creating an almost absurdist plot.

--T.S. Eliot But yeah, why make a new site? I went from browsing reddit a lot to maybe looking at it once or twice a day. I didn't realize how much of it was "AND MY AXE" and puns and just mindless bullshit. I'm way happier browsing hubski for discussion and content. At least if someone tells a joke here it's not contrived or just a brainless pun or joke that's been done literally hundreds of thousands of times.
Not necessarily. It is possible to believe in idealism and still believe that there are multiple people. Just that we inhabit a world of ideas. Basically "we're all in God's mind" kind of.
A shorter read that also deals with a metaphysical sort of reality or dreamscape by Murakami is Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World. It's two novels in one. All the odd chapters are Hard Boiled Wonderland and the even chapters are The End of the World. I recommend read through all the odd ones first. Then go through and read the even chapters. Hard Boiled Wonder land is a sort of cyberpunk novel and the end of the world is kind of a fantasy story or dream like story that's kind of hard to explain. It is an absolutely fascinating book, and it was my first exposure to Murakami. I've read a couple of more since then (Wind Up Bird Chronicle and After Dark).
That's interesting. Do you have any links to youtube videos on the topic?
Why can't we test? What is stopping us from figuring out how to interact with parallel universe? If it isn't possible, why?
So they are hypothetical answers to problems being suggested by the math? What is the confidence level that we're understanding the math and that these theories are even likely?
I've heard a lot of these theories are bogus, and if someone knowledgeable enough about the math can comment on that. Is it bogus armchair physics or is there real math supporting the idea that there are multiple universes many much like ours?

Museli is amazing. Avocados too. And canned sardines. I want to hang out with you. BLTs are good, but not cheap. Good bacon is expensive. I don't like processed meats with added nitrites. I know that might sound snooty, but if I'm buying processed meat I'm getting the good stuff.
What kind of cheese goes good with that? Swiss?
