When I started to *empathize* with my prey. Of course the book was always the same. Miranda Jones, a telepath who studied mental disciplines on Vulcan, arrives with Ambassador Kollos, a Medusan - an alien life form whose physical form is so hideous, humanoid life forms are driven insane if they look upon him. I was hoping someone would. If my reality is a dream, it is both...".. what has that to do with you BB theory?-----------------I see your point. Even after we go public on the DOW. Or if anticipation of the future is not allowed, then let's say that my "truth" is that I believe that I can talk to the animals, learn their languages. WHAT IS THE NATURE OF REALITY? I would have thought better of you, my friend. You can hardly blame me for thinking of a dream as a dream.----------------Well, I can if I've already told you that it's "like a dream" and not "a dream." For instance, a carrion beetle will lay eggs on a dead animal that it has buried, and if the animal corpse is too small to support the whole clutch of eggs, she will "trim" the clutch down to the right amount by destroying eggs or larvae. Sorry. It's all there, as an independant simulation of a more or less uncaring(of you) world. -Just because its a part of the human condition to give merit to the irrational doesn't make it the optimal behavior to be desired, does it? (I'm not sure that I'd go this far, but you asked). No, it is their life and if killing makes them happy, then I am happy for them.-Ford-----------------Yes, very interesting perspectives. I'm not sure I know what you mean. I didn't bring it up to prove that our subjective experiences were not reproduceable by the ingestion and contemplation of mere data; I brought it up because the hard data (the light frequency number of "blue" at least proves that something exists (light in the spectral range of blue) that is the SAME when it gets to (all of)our eyes, even though we MAY all see it differently. He seems to have been averse to all speculative thought, and his only creed, we fear, was expressed in the words— Beauty is truth,—truth beauty". There is no god to offer up my blessings to just our suffering - for that must be all such a god wants - to allow such a travesty on the earth he created. So the photon that just travelled ten billion light years from the Hubble deep field, went down the barrel of a telescope, and hit your retina, only just that instant left the star that spawned it. "This reminds me of Frank Jackson's 'New Knowledge Argument,' which is usually explicated with the help of the 'Mary the Colorblind Scientist' thought experiment:Mary isn't really colorblind, but she's confined to a room in which everything she sees is either black or white (assume that she's always been in the room, that she's never seen any colors, that there are no mirrors in the room, and that her body, hands, etc. Conjecture. Since I've never thought about a photon degrading before, I didn't make the connection. "The real answer to the koan "If a tree falls in the forest and there is no-one there to hear it, does it make a sound?" It's not "my truth." Just a thought. to be quite beautiful. And by balanced by, I don't mean invalidated in any way by the emotional side. Berkeley was an empiricist and an idealist (as opposed to a materialist); Aristotle's empiricism also differed from Hume's (especially given Aristotle's moderate realism about universals, *which requires a denial of materialism*). Who does he think he is removing other people's posts? damned. Hummingbirds and elephant shrews also come to mind. Brian, you say, "I don't think a photon can degrade, ever. For instance, our sense of sight is hardwired to detect edges and faces (the cause of infinite cases of pareidolia) (who knows how facial recognition works, maybe the brain does Fourier analysis). Let's say that Yaweh is either a thought-form, or it's just the aggregated wish-fulfillment affect that is natural to the BB. I can do both. You DO know the difference between dreams and reality, you do.---------------Ahh, or you only think that you do. But alas, these are not proof of anything, and I know it. question. "If blue is in reality a range of light wavelengths, then while our perception of blue may be in our heads, the quantifiable light still exists. That is the price you pay for individuality. Do you guys/gals (for tj) think time is extant? No, seriously. Are you suggesting that the past is another dimension that we cannot experience directly? The mosquito beats its wings at more than 500 times a second. Love can be measured in money spent on shiny things. empiricism), then it follows ineluctably that you're asking the mind dependent to deliver the mind independent. Oh, wait! "In that respect, I would agree that time may not exist. Dream comes closest, I think, at least to the western mind. "If what I quoted above were true, then every argument that takes a set of premises as given (for the sake of argument), and that proceeds to draw out conclusions that contradict the initial premises, is question begging.Do you see how ridiculous that is? There are two possibilities. See Also: 'Is There in Truth no Beauty? If killing feels good to you in the moment, by all means go for it- because at the end of everything nothing really matters except for ones pain or pleasure. No, it is assuredly not a truth. 'Word verification' is 'prove'! My BB speculations are my number two most likely scenario. "So I wrote what I wrote more to start the conversation and to see where it goes in the hopes of it becoming more clear to me in the analysis than in any attempt to be definitive on the subject from the get-go. This is a synthetic form that has no real existence but the universe acts like it does, for the sake of it's believers. I lied to myself....constantly.Now I must pick up my pieces and start again. FORD,Interesting perspectives, but don't be surprised if I vote against you if you run with these principles for public office. Proof of the supernatural is against the rules. If the answer is Bad, then it is false. The usual layman's definition for the event horizon says that this is the "point of no return" for things caught in the black hole's gravity well). that Bill Clinton was the first president of the U.S.).As far as what truth is, well, let's just say that there are a host of ideas about how to understand it.
