What sort of laugh is silent?”

I think Mr. Munch painted a few expressions of them on a bridge 🙂

“Lol is another mindless utterance. What sort of laugh is silent?”

Priceless comment, Jake!

This guy has it right. None of the obsession over Jews has any relation to their putative evil doings. That is why i prefer Nazis. They aint hiding their objectives or rationalizing them in a way that justifies their hatred or gives cover to their actions. Racial purity and all that German mythology is discredited.…[Read more]

Janke?

Ok.

Enco, surely you must acknowledge how the metaphor of the cave cannot possibly capture the depth of ignorance and our wiring to understand it all?

My hypothetical is not Pascal’s stupidity.

Reg, funny stuff. I laughed. Not LOL.

Lol is another mindless utterance. What sort of laugh is silent?

Here is another time study video.

My point is not that the human experience of time is wrong. The experience is real, but it may be an interface rather than a fundamental feature of reality. Our brains are optimized for local 3D survival, not for grasping global spacetime structure.

Because everyone shares the sensation of temporal flow, we naturally assume it must be objective.…[Read more]

Reg:

Our 5D brains “see” the 4D nature of Spacetime so we traveled along a geodesic spacetime path. In fact it took us no time at all to get here!!

Money in the bank….!!

So, “Let the Sun Shine In” on what this 5th Dimension is. The fruits of the Parsimony Tree are falling off here.

Janke:

I would put my money on no reality. Not the standard model. Not the block. Not parallel. Not string. Not multiverse. Not steady state. Not oscillating.

Reality of course doesn’t care where you put your money, especially the quadrants of timespace labeled “Federal Reserve 1913”, “Savings & Loan 1987”, “Housing Market 2007” or “Congress and…[Read more]

Jake:

Reg, if aliens show up at your door and are to us what we are to eukaryotes and KNOW the nature of the universe what odds would you require before you laid down your money on the block universe?

Pascal’s Wager doesn’t answer any question, otherwise Vegas would be the data capital of the world.

FYI – This is not debate in the usual sense. I am stress-testing a model of reality in public. I think it has a lot of merit. It is not intuitive because it goes against our evolved sense of time flow. But this is only useful on Earth, locally. Relativity strongly suggests a 4D spacetime structure that looks block-like. I’m trying to break it. I…[Read more]
