"P.P.S. Loved the vid of the leaf. Yes it's faked"
Actually it was genuine, a spider's line, probably more than one was holding the leaf, quite unusual in the length of the spiders line/s but nevertheless quite natural, I had previously shown it to some friends and they all said faked, which is why I used it

"Socrates I know enough to know that I know nothing" the more we learn the less we know ;-)

"in quantum physics there are contradictions". Hmmm... If the model holds inherent contradictions then the model is flawed is it not? ""
Not necessarily, maybe the universe doesn't mind contradictions, we simply assume it does, and therefore we assume there should be none, standard logical models Syllogistic logic/ Modal logic/ Bullion logic/ first-order predicate logic/ and so on, (I haven't investigated all forms of logic there are many more) tend to work in absolute black and white terms, necessarily true or necessarily false with no middle ground (law of excluded middle) (with the exception of Fuzzy logic, there might be more) and no contradictions, now in quantum physics there are empirical contradictions, if it was just the maths this wouldn't be a problem, now to get your head spinning, the entire universe could be one single particle that is literally everywhere at once, now logically one thing cannot be in two places at the same time, but in quantum physics we have empirical evidence that it can, which is flawed ? reality, our understanding of reality ? or the tools we use to describe reality ?

"You are your ego" - LoL, not so sure about that sir! "Me, My-self and I... who are we?" *chuckle*. Personally I think Freud was a numpty, separating "ego" into further subdivisions, the simple "trinity" of mind, body and soul is adequate for my taste. ""

Freud was a numpty ;-) he certainly made many mistakes, but this we do know, your physical mind and your conscious are the same thing, if I gave you a hallucinogenic that would effect your physical mind, it would also effect your conscious mind, and if you damage your physical mind, then your conscious mind would be altered, using real-time 3-D mapping, we can see different parts of your brain becoming more or less active, your brainis quite literally split into two parts, with a small connection between them, cases where this connection has been severed, are quite interesting, subjects usually talk about having physical fights with themselves, in these cases which separated consciousness would you describe as the definitive true individual ?

Keep playing devil's advocate, with your conscious mind, whichever half that might be, and say hello to your subconscious for me ;-)


Kybalion Principle of Mentalism of Correspondence of Vibration of Polarity of Rhythm of Cause and Effect of Gender, it makes sense if you wish it to, but then again so does the Bible, the Koran, or any other book of its type

Their is certainly far more in this universe than is dreamt of in my philosophy Horatio, and I can confirm this from personal experience, which means there are vast gaps in my knowledge, books on spiritualism and such attempt to fill these gaps, with weighty words, some words carry a lot of psychological and emotional baggage it is hard not to be impressed or influenced by them, "Correspondence of Vibration" for example it is impressive is it not, although what does it actually mean ?, is it similar to the synchronised rhythmic homogenised throbbing of the invisible spaghetti Monsters knobbly appendages ? filling in the gaps of knowledge with knowledge is always the hard route that requires a great deal of effort, the easy route is spiritualism which requires little effort and will fill in all the gaps instantly

"Nice nattering" the pleasure is all mine

Have fun
