We could do a VR simulation. Fake the prisoner's acquittal, release, tearful reuniting with family, later life, retirement, deathbed. And then, on his deathbed, he confesses. Aha!

While you were in the basement cell the world ended. Everything wiped out with neutron bombs. So that means the government, the laws, the legal system, all that stuff. Doesn't exist anymore. So whether you're guilty or not doesn&#

Machines and dreamstuff are connected. Wherever you find a machine you find a dream of what it's for and how it works. Dream lovers are invariably machine lovers. A dream lover lives entirely in dreams. To the degree that he absolutely

By "it" I refer to reality. Not the model. (Gotta underline everything for you people, I swear.)

That isn't a debunking, it's a description of the mechanism. For good and ill. Read it again.

It is false and unimportant, thus it deserves no attention, thus we withdraw our attention from it, thus it fades and disappears. Thus reality is carved away, leaving only the important part. Which we call "reality" of course.

Hallucinogenic mushrooms. When trip (it's been a while) I invariably hear voices and have conversations with them. I call them "spirits". They're friendly. Offer advice and such.

I'm figuring the photonic stuff covers all electromagnetic. So sunburn, microwave, cancer. Lots of options.

You are "explaining" it. The consensual narrative has sprung a leak and you are striving to patch it.

My small experience with seeing a ghost was that it appeared out of a mist. The white sheet could be a figurative way of portraying that. But there was a face too, and that stood out most starkly. And the gaze, when it fell on me, was elect

Ever see that movie "The Sentinel" (1977)? Ghosts and/or demons scurrying out of Hell. Lots of nude ghosts there. White eyes. Scary.

Enjoying the benefits of living in a society (a degree of trust, no deadly combat, services like police) without suffering its liabilities (mandatory politeness and respect). It's the profitable course.

"The herd is right" is an emotion that's been with us since before we left the sea. The rest is just rationalization and modernization. Any invertebrate can defend the consensus. And they do it with the greatest of zeal. It t
