Yep, nothing to scratch.
Has meds for it when it gets unbearable.
And yep, computer and brain have a lot in common.
Brain is a computer I suppose, with attachments
Albeit an organic computer, with organic attachments.
How long before we add inorganic attachments to the organic computer?
Maybe we already have peripheral attachments/devices that influence us more than we realise.
So how long before theses become installed into the mainframe?
Not long me thinks.
Off to bed.
Night Night sleep tight.

There's a 53rd called a wassamagoolie.
It has 10 penises and 17 vaginas,
And a clitoris up it's arse.
And a fourth reproductive organ that makes no sense whatsoever.
It's name is Daphne and it typically lacks pronouns.
It is also highly intelligent,
Covering it's head and neck with tattoos.
And influencing gullible people on social media.
If seen, approach with caution,
As it has a tendency to multiple orgasm.
Now, wouldn't that be a sticky end.

Here's wishing you and yours a happy Winter Festival/Seasons Greetings/Not Christmas.

We sense, light waves, sound waves, smells etc.
And we make an internal electro-chemical assessment,
Which we project or simulate internally as imagery.
Therefore we only assume that what we see is what we see/ hear/ smell etc.
Though our ability to manipulate does give weight to our assumptions.
But even then we are completely reliant upon internal imagery.
So if you read this post, you will not actually be viewing it on a computer screen, but as an internally projected/simulated image of a computer screen.

Well, notwithstanding the dubiousness of biblical stuff anyway.
A. They could have been playing dead as part of the Roadshow.
B. They weren't actually dead.
C. They were just having a right laugh.
Is this helpful Stephen?

If you consider the processes involved.
Then everything is an internal projection or simulation of an assumed reality.

If Bible exists, then God exists.
If Lord of the rings exists, then Middle Earth exists.
So choose your favourite work of fiction and make it come to life.
And I had a bible once, but I burned it, so I destroyed God.

Well, a few hiccups in your last hasty reply.
But there a certainly those who would argue that planned obsolescence wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Two years.
That's short term thinking.
You need to plan for the future just as much as Joe does.
Don't expect the nanny state to do everything for you.

God is a magical floaty about, thought bloke.
GOD might the answer to everything.
Which is not to say that GOD didn't once float about, and will not float about again.
So God might be a metaphor for GOD.
Or not, as the case maybe.
An internal Zed projection.

Words can and have been redefined.
And socio-psychological evolution redefines the thinking species.
It's all happening right here right now.
Denial is futile.

Do you know what semantics is? If not look it up.
Then apply semantics to relevant words, like happiness and contentment, and see if you can work out just what happiness is.
Positive chemistry refers to body chemistry and particularly brain chemistry, that might have a positive effect upon our wellbeing.
Basically everything we do and achieve relies upon our brain and therefore brain processes.
So happiness etc. is nothing more that brain function, electro-chemical processes.
Horses for courses is a an old adage, that in this instance I use to suggest that positive brain function might be variable relative to the individual and their formative conditioning.
Formative condition basically means the information that we acquire in our early years.
Such information has a tendency to always influence how we behave and make decisions throughout the rest of our lives.
So perhaps we are taught to be either introverts or extroverts, and therefore positivity is relative in both cases.

How big do you think the audience is.
I haven't checked lately, but the average used to be about 2.5.

Semantics.
What is happiness?
Are we talking positive chemistry here?
Or just assumptions.
I would suggest that it is better to achieve contentment, rather than constantly striving to be happy.
Horses for courses though, generally dictated by formative conditioning.

Why did the debater cross the road.
For the same reason as the chicken.
So which came first?
The debater or the egg.
Not forgetting the spermatozoa of course.

That's exactly what I mean.
And that might also be exactly what I mean.

@Skipper_Sr
1 unit + 1 unit = 6 therefore 1 = 3.
1 unit + 1 unit = 4 therefore 1 = 2
Therefore 1 + 1 = 5
All that is required is a thought/electro-chemical data processing.
I would suggest that concepts are no more or less this process, and by their very nature are variable, modifiable and always subjective.
I would further suggest that we also possess pre-programmed data/instinct, wherein lies our desire to survive.

Knowing the difference between eating for the sake of it and eating out of necessity is the key.
People without a ready access to food will feel hunger.
More affluent people just regard it as dinner time or a snack.
Snacking on burgers for the sake of it, not particularly good.

@Skipper_Sr
Incorrect.
Some people might have shorter lives if they "enjoy" themselves too much.
Choice will have very little to do with it.
Though, there's enjoyment and then there's alternative enjoyment.
And then there's also lazy and stupid, and active and sensible.
You choose.
And morality, ethics, right and wrong are all a part of our conceptual fantasy world.
Real enough, though not real at all.
You choose.
Though conditioning may already have limited your ability to choose.
Which isn't necessarily a wrong thing,
But also, not necessarily a right thing.

Well, there is usually someone somewhere willing to do anything for money.
Nonetheless, in a unified society (yep I know) trans would not have become a socio-psychological and therefore evolutionary trend.
Negative conditioning, would have negated the spread of trans data.
But once you plant seeds in the human mind then things will slowly and inevitably change, it's the nature of the human beast.
