Hmm. Yes I do think I have a little bit of a "fanciful-magical-thinking" side, but I definitely acknowledge what it is and I never confuse it for hard-line truth. In a way it can be distracting and against progress, I am usually pained by disillusionment. I have often been romantic (in the artistic ...

"Perhaps it is due precisely to a fellows very fanciful and newagey inclinations that his actions have not been marked by any significant contribution to collective progress and innovation -- in science especially." I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you speaking in general terms as I was above or...

"but do you really think violence was written into our genetic makeup for artistic, aesthetic reasons, as opposed to violence being our genetic inheritance from the time when we were animals who were advantaged by being capable of violence?" Aesthetic reasons, no. Artistic as in creative and illogic...

Not to sound like the film Fight Club, but I really do think that violence is written in our genetic makeup. It has always been around and always will be around and it has nothing to do with advancing our species (as it would with other animals) it is really just an artistic (or maybe biological) pl...

You know, sometimes I can't help but indulge in guilty pleasures; one of those being feminine deconstruction threads on the genius forum. It could be because I find so much accordance with the other subjects discussed here, it could be that the most lovable ignorance is displayed on these threads, o...

Yeah. It’s true about dolphins murdering other dolphins as well. It's also true that dolphins in captivity have been known to attack humans without provocation. Unjust murder and altruism are definitely the children of consciousness. (But I had a cat once that loved to torture mice -- just for fun...

I can't help but think that overly skeptical people are devoid of creativity and possibility. If it weren’t for creative and curious people there would be no innovation and progress -- in science especially. How does it matter? Well to me it reconciles why I feel a strange sensitivity to higher co...

Yeah, I understand your point about the elevator and acknowledge the value of its logic. But I feel it a bit close-minded (in the introverted or self-obsessed way) to think that things only affect us on the specific, small scale, and tangible level. I think one of the biggest occurrences that is tel...

Speaking of altruism did anyone read about those dolphins found dead off the shores of Cape Cod? I didn’t know this prior but dolphins rarely ever leave their fellow sick dolphins behind, in fact they usually die in packs because of this fact. From an evolutionary standpoint this doesn’t make se...

Matt: "But anyway, this is all just my personal theory." Well that's a pretty amazing theory. I like it all the more because you made it up. Have you ever read the work of Italo Calvino? I'm not much into science fiction, but I would take Calvino's incredibly intricate and complex sci fi crack baby ...

Diebert. If lunar effects are miniscule (which I will admit has been sufficiently displayed), similar to the tapping of a foot a mile away, then what environmental effects do consider to be similar to the stronger occurrences, the marathon, the oil rig ect.? (you know on the more macro level ie the ...

Lunar Effects on Human Behavior
Just a topic of curiosity for me and I was wondering if anyone had some insights/opinions. Periodically throughout my life I have felt that at certain times of the month I would be drained/depressed/weird chemistry-esque and I would always look at the sky and see that it was a full moon or new moon....

I will have to take these responses one by one because there is so much useful info in them. David Quinn: I always have to laugh when people describe the concept of the totality as "vague". I mean, it is impossible to imagine a concept which is more crystal-clear than this one. There isn't anything ...

Kevin as you elaborate your answers are becoming slightly more understandable (and actually I enjoy your insights and often agree with your sentiments) but your answers are still no less shrouded in mystery and illusiveness as any other mystical speculation would produce. Your concept of cause and e...

Remote Viewing is not 100% accurate and effective just as most prescription medications are not 100 % accurate and effective. Remote Viewing has be scientifically proven to be 80 some % accurate.

Not only that, but I believe the U.S is offering a 50 million dollar reward for information on the location of Bin Laden. If remote viewing were true then you'd expect that someone would have claimed this reward by now. Many people do think we know exactly where Bin Laden is hiding -- Pakistan. But...

Cory, do you define magical powers as anything that is unknown? Because I am questioning the unknown here. I am questioning the unknown because Kevin claims to know all the answers to everything. I am saying, "know magic, shun magic" and I believe I have elaborated on this in past postings. You coul...
