   Too many people might be at risk of contentment and their own personal happiness if we let up now.

   As someone who now does suffer from chronic pain due to abdominal adhesions post-pancreatic trauma and having had issues with depression in the past, I'll take the adhesions. At least I can take a pill to get some relief on occasion. P

   There was only a night watchman. When they see a familiar face doing something on the grounds, especially one of authority, they don't question it.

   I was asked to defend myself against accusations of theft of hundreds of pounds of copper cable. My immediate supervisor was loading his pickup truck in the morning and carting it down to the scrap yard down the road before anyone got in. I

   Can I recommend Donald Hoffman’s lectures and discussions? They might correlate, as there seems to be common threads in his take to that of the general cosmology/consciousness model as the Theosophists and Rudolph Steiner (Waldorf Scho

   The Guard is a piece of fine art. That couldn't be more appropriate. Just as a caution to others, maybe don't play that with the volume up loud in the office. The context is critical, and there are a few loud... remarks.

    I’ve had both experiences. Like anything, it’s a complex of the doctor’s personality, personal motivations and their own contentment or lack thereof and how it manifests in their work. One of the finest bedside manners and wholistic approac

    Formal maths is not my strong point these days, so I’m reading this from a more abstract position, but it sounds like yet more pointers to systems being more than a sum of their parts. Am I understanding it correctly? This might just be my

    Thank you. You read me correctly. To be fair to dang, my original comment had my personal opinion on dogma laced into it. I removed that portion. I hadn't felt I was launching into any arguments even with my opinion laced in, but it ma

    Common cosmological and philosophical threads run through all religions, but some tenets of Neoplatonism and related Hermetic mystical foundations made their way into Catholicism through two means: early Christian cults and sects before an

    I'd be wary of misinterpreting endearment as honorific. Morally, he couldn't exalt a Pagan. He only brought himself to say that they essentially "weren't all bad", and beautifully illustrated. He was right, of cours

    Dang, nothing I said was to instigate a flame war about religion. I think my comment history should speak for itself, there. I was defending my statement on Aquinas, and so I had to draw out the conclusion. I think that's fair. I never

    It's a fundamental tenet of the Catholic belief system. If you're not Catholic christian, then you're Pagan, and it follows if you're not adhering to Catholic Christianity then you are doomed. Not Christianity in all its

    Not OP, but from what I understand Aquinas seems to have had a fixed lens he allowed himself to view the world through and seemingly based the fundamentals of his philosophy on. Not even Aristotle could be properly studied without a Christi

    I think so. It can model itself, but it couldn't replicate itself 1:1—which maybe is the wrong assumption on my part, but is the only way you could prove with certainty that you may be living in a simulation? I mean, without input fr

    I'm actually with you. I was trying to make a clever remark. I find it entertaining that ancient occult symbolism of your definition (1/0, singularity/infinity) to be the resulting mathematical foundation of modern computing,

    This is a pointer to a more intuitive understanding. Playing music, and especially improvising, is more much hung on the intervals—those ratios—rather than concerns about fixed notes. Give or take, emotional colouring of tones and harmonics

    It's a wind phenomenon of a particular kind specific to that region. That's weird. It's weird to have a swing of 20-50 degrees within a single day. It's regular in those specific regions, but it's weird on whole. If

    I enjoyed reading your other comments maybe out of implicit bias, and this is tangential maybe, but just the same I'm curious about what you make of Nima Arkani-Hamed's recent work—namely amplituhedrons—in this larger context.
