Unseen

Good for you. There are videos of people making vegetarian or vegan cat food based on oats and other stuff (but oats is a grain, you numbskull, and isn’t even good for DOGS!). They can’t imagine how idiotic they look as they make the shit, either. A vegetarian or vegan trying to make their cat eat vege-based food is like a Christian cat owner…[Read more]

If someone were to make canned cat food based on mice, rats, squirrels, songbirds, moles, snakes, etc., they might make a mint. Chickens, turkeys, cows, pigs, salmon, tuna, etc., are not natural cat prey.

I said from the beginning, culturally Canada and America are very similar with Canada adopting a lot of American culture and on the surface you’d barely know if you were in Vancouver or Seattle.

That’s what I was talking about. A middle-class neighborhood in Toronto and one across Lake Erie in Cleveland wouldn’t immediately scream o…[Read more]

Trump and other ugly ‘Mericans don’t care much about preserving American goodwill. I looked around for “make america suck” or something else relevant and humorous and cynical. The video below skips 2-1/2 minutes for you, to a Canada meme. (Someday I might not cringe at the truth in the first couple of minutes of it.)

It’s always extremely fascinating how Canadians who share/adopt so much of American culture and has shared a friendly border for so long…can be so radically…and I mean RADICALLY different on social/political/globalist issues.

Some and perhaps much of that may come from a Canadian to mark out areas of difference, despite the fact…[Read more]

An Unseen- did you say we don’t have “free will”? Who told you that you don’t have free will?

Earle, I can see clearly that one difference between us is that I don’t believe something because someone told me to believe it. Rather, based on what I know. I know we have a nervous system including a brain and I know that my t…[Read more]

“It’s quite clear that Lucifer and his angels are in charge here on Earth which is why I say this is not God’s world.”

It doesn’t matter: we don’t have free will anyway whether God or Lucifer is in charge.

All I can say is this- when one contemplates the world in which we live: Sun, moon, stars, planets, the animals and plants of so many varieties yet each one is unique– many bear variations but still all bears; the plate tectonics; the air currents, water currents, etc. etc. then combine this vast array of life with this: D…

While there are various estimates of how much of the universe is invisible to us, let’s use 95%. Maybe this represents another universe occupying the same real estate our universe occupies but in what might be called a parallel dimension. If this is so, maybe there is plenty of intelligent life there and we are just a fluke in our 5%.

We need to remember that the universe is still in an infantile state. Maybe we’re just the first of many to come. Unfortunately, we may be long gone before any evidence of other advanced civilizations finally arrives.

On a different tack, here’s a video with some thoughts/solutions re: the Fermi paradox:

Sorry to hear about your attention span. Nobody forced you to read any one of them.

More from Dr. Anders Sandberg, one of the study’s authors:

One can answer [the Fermi Paradox] by saying intelligence is very rare, but then it needs to be tremendously rare. Another possibility is that intelligence doesn’t last very long, but it is enough that one civilization survives for it to become visible. Attempts at explaining it by h…[Read more]
