How random is magic?

I would say that magic is pretty specific.

Chaos is a state of mind.

And we assume because we are,

That the universe is.

So if the universe is, it could be, either with or without us,

Perhaps.

But therein lies a planetary spec of dust with an atmosphere that sustains an ecosystem.

Crazy but true,

I think.

But if we didn't think we wouldn't,

And who would know if the universe was or wasn't.

Something else perhaps.

Maybe,

Quantum mechanics,

Otherwise currently known as,

Bits of flying around stuff.

The reality is that what can be done can be done.

And inherency is a physiological proposition.

Is postnatally acquired data, inherently acquired data?

Not really, so morality and consequently immorality become preponderant make believe.

So in reality, fucking whatever, isn't actually moral or immoral, it's just the manifestation of the real needs of inherency.

But it's been a long time since we left the trees, and started making up and remembering stuff.

Perhaps it would be better to adopt the sperm bank and castration system of population management.

Along with quotas and gene scrutiny.

I think that it's fair to say that the above statement is the epitome of vagueness.

Of course, once a reasonably biggish event has occurred, you will be able to say, I told you so.

Not that standing and observing a clear night sky, cannot inspire a spiritual response. Of course it can, the vastness of the unknowable universe is the greatest of mysteries.....But that's a wholly internal human physiological issue.

In short....Light enters the brain via the eye and is converted into imagery, which stimulates a pleasing chemical response.

And all associable data contrivances such as astrology (and marketing astrology), follow on from that.....All created within though....That is to say, make believe.

No harm in that though.

Unless such data is used to make believe that harm is a necessary consequence of the cosmos.

And of course, given a World population of 7.9 billion, in 195 different nations, and the innumerable amount of events  generated therein. It's all too easy to concentrate upon the coincidences and overlook the hiss.

But Hey....Enjoy astrology peacefully and carefully and don't let me dampen your enthusiasm.

I don't think that there is anything peculiar about the "Mandela effect".

It's just trickery that  exemplifies the fallibility of the human.

So Broome told a lie, and gullible people lacking pertinent knowledge and not wishing to appear foolish and unsophisticated, bought straight into the lie without a second thought.

Basically they were intentionally tricked.

Very few people will know a great deal about the life and times of Nelson Mandela. For most he's just a fairly well known South African guy.

Of course, the whole Mandela effect thing might be a Mandela effect thing.....Can you be sure that it's not?

My life is just fine.

What is it that you cannot do, that makes you so unhappy?

Or do you just constantly  buy into negative social media and peer based propaganda?

Mines a nice chilled bottle of IPA.

Cheers.

Or ask them about the key to their success.

The war was started by a typical Russian paranoid megalomaniac.

And perpetuated by a descending hierarchy of lackies.

Ok Mr Vlad let's go fight the Ukrainians.

Believe the bullshit, do the bullshit.

And for sure, it's all about wealth and power.....And who get's to fuck the most women.

Seriously....It's just the evolution of base instinct.

And you can be certain that  younger fitter stags are watching and sniffing and waiting for the opportune moment to move in.

Whilst those with weakness of mind will be thrown to the wolves, with arrogant disregard.

As long as the blocked responds pertinently to a thread, then the onus falls upon the blocker to ignore.

If the blocked chooses to not ignore, then that is the choice they make.

In my experience of Dart and in my opinion, I find those who have a tendency to use the block function, do so for disingenuous reasons.

@Poly

Spirituality, as in a physiological response to a specific stimulus, is a normal occurrence.

I don't quite see what the big deal is about spirituality.

Other than some people like making a big deal about it......Which often results in exaggeration and fantasy scenarios.

And anyone that is near death, will have a near death experience....That's pretty logical.

And anyone that is actually dead, cannot possibly recount tales of an afterlife.....Obviously.

Therefore a living experience is not evidence of a non-living experience.

Well.

My children are 34 and 36 years of age.

Not sure they would want to go sight seeing with Mum and Dad.

But you never know.

And yep...Class based exploitation was the norm, and is ongoing.

Always make it so, that people want what they can never quite afford.

Therefore in my opinion, one of the keys to contentment is to not want what is unaffordable.

Regards.

Oh dear.

Society is always controlled.

But perhaps in not the way that you think you want it to be controlled.

You would just want to control society differently.

So what changes would you make?

The opposite of control is no control, and I'm not sure that would be much fun either.

Yep English, from the Germanic Angle.

We're all bloody German Stephen, even the f**king Queen.

And I and Mrs Zed crossed the imaginary line and invaded Wales about 8 years ago.

Ah. 

But even though things might seem grimmer these days to us 60ish type people.

The mire of doom and angst is only really inside ones head if one lets it persist there.

And where from did/do we acquire this angst laden mire of doom?

I believe it's known as IT.

That marvellous technological revolution that was going to make our lives so easy.

You and John Cleese.

Like peas in a pod.

Notwithstanding the Angles

And........Given the nature of migration from the cradle of humanity, I doubt that there is such a thing as a native Brit.

We're only as native as at the point in the past  we choose to start from.

I think that it's fair to say that we are all native earthlings.

So I don't feel that I can claim reparations from anyone.

For sure, in so much as that which can adapt.

But I was referring to the overall balance of the Earth's atmosphere.

That which sustains the only known planetary ecosystem.

Yep. Well written.

Such is social hierarchy evolved from natural ability, coupled with data development and transfer.

And gas is ten dollars a gallon.....Such is the price of not walking.

I would suggest, just from a thoughtfully logical view point, that the long term detrimental effects of deliberate cigarette smoke inhalation, cannot be beneficial to living systems.

But then, the long term effects of living also has it's drawbacks.

A single aberration in DNA coding might already have us singled out for a earlier than hoped for demise.

So enjoy living whilst it's still possible to do so.

So, as with the oxygen discussion, this just goes to exemplify the evolved fragility of Earth's ecosystem?

Nonetheless, it all makes for an alternative discussion topic.

So well done.

Covid was an excellent motivator.

So maybe a deadlier virus.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Aphophasis and Phaneron.

Overthink because one can.

The sponge thing was a good example.

The nature of oxygen is such that it readily combines with other elements to form essential life sustaining chemical molecules. All within the tenuous stability of Earth's atmosphere.

Try breathing in outer space.

Wear a mask if you want,

Wear steaming dog shit turds on you face,

For all I care.

I won't wear one,

Because, 

Fuck you.

Wear a mask,

Care for all,

And steaming dog shit turds on your shoe,

If you want

Fuck!

Let's face it.

Life's one big risk.

Stay safe,

No point hiding.

So watch wear you step.

Nice one Doc.

So much wrong with this statement.

Probably why you made it.

Most life is life based or carbon based.

And living processes are reliant upon O as a molecular component.

H2O or CO2 for example.

Any expert chemists out there?

10.5 inches, with a decent girth.

A Gnome with an extensive tool kit then.

A few people think that they are something, and adopt a label.

And some people think that other people are something, and apply labels.

But the reality is that most people within a given society are moderately the same.

And most of the time, this balance works as well as can be expected.

Somewhere between 0 and 100.

Though younger than me, and older than some of the boys on this site.....So between 20 and 50.

If we split the difference, then my guess would be 35ish.

Anywhere near?

Questions are complex because the answers become not straightforward.

In Russia not too many questions get asked......They have a put up and shut up or else approach to doing stuff.

Social evolution is a variable phenomenon.....As is all too apparent.

Reality is always internally relevant.

No different to consuming any pathogen.

Doubtless he Hugo be,

Said the sad blind man,

To the vampire.

Sex the constant,

All consuming,

Tick Tick Tick,

Hormonal drip.

And how the fuck,

Do things go so wrong,

Protein enriched,

Destroyer of bone.

To know,

The seeded imperfect transfer,

Just biding it's time,

Tick Tick Tick,

Doomsday clock hidden.

And such a minor thing,

Becomes,

The all consuming,

Harbinger of destiny.

So rewind not,

The doomsday clock,

Dear Jaisha love,

Tick,

Tick,

62.

Windows up all the time here Deb.

This is Wales.

We just need to acclimatise.

Take up walking on hot coals and fire eating, and move on from there.

Well done Ken.

Looking good for 85, albeit a tad surgically enhanced.

Let's hope that with all that dosh, you can secure immortality for yourself and the lovely Gloria.

No.

Giraffe body experiences are intense to say the least.

20 foot necks are truly something.

I had one the other day when I temporarily died....(Experience not a 20 foot neck)

And when I returned from the afterlife I related to my NDE councillor an overwhelming feeling of my testicles dangling in outer space.

As true as I am sitting here....And it would clearly be irrational to suggest that I had been anything other than sober at the time.

Does that ever happen to you when you have extra-mammalian experiences.....EME's for short.

Must be common in the outback.

Yep.

I was wondering if Mr U Dog had taken the religious side of things into consideration with their One Nation proposal.

I'm guessing that this One Nation thing is basically tyranny dressed up as a  good old light coloured American thing.

I might be wrong though....And freedom of expression for all Muslims might be hot on their list of priorities.....Chinese style of course.

Is an "Otter body" experience, that which a semi-aquatic mammal experiences?

Just needed to be clear on this.

Is it something like a Platypus body experience?

Though the Platypus body experience is somewhat freaky.

Half Duck, half kangaroo as it were.

But more Duck in terms of forwards propulsion.

#14

So I reiterate the question.

How is it possible to know what dead people are experiencing on a consistent basis?

I think what you are referring to is what is known has NDE......Whereby all information was actually derived from not dead people.

People who may have experienced an intense electro-chemical response to a total system failure. Which manifested as vivid, internal, self generated imagery.

Subsequently resuscitated, so not dead, and with a more or less accurate memory of the experience.

And given the human lack of ability to remember accurately the most recent of not near death events.....I would therefore suggest  that the recollection of near death imagery is more likely to be less accurate.

Call me sceptical and irrational if you like.

And as for an afterlife.....For sure.....If that's what rationally floats your boat.

Have you boys actually thought this one through?

Independent bodies,

Independently thinking,

Of themselves,

And then maybe about you, if it suits.

"Friend" is one of those very casual epithets.

I know what I think, so why would I expect others to be any different.

I, just like Sadolite, have acquaintances.

Sooooooo.

If out of body experiences are true.

If out of body experiences are not true.

If anything really.

Though:

If people had out of body experiences when they were dead, how would you know?

I often wonder why we don't attempt to utilise more, that which the Sun provides freely in amounts way beyond our actual needs.

Well, Nazism was Doc.

And what it became far exceeded it's beginnings.

Though nowadays we can repurpose the word to represent any nationalistic/isolationist/racially divisive mind set.

Ring any bells Doc.

Though not suggesting for one minute that you were ever a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

And for sure, Ukrainians were not held in high esteem after "WW2".

But some people learn, change and move forwards.

And some people learn, stay the same and continue to live in the past.

Such is human reliance on the transfer of old data.

Nicely composed again.

I haven't the time for a long winded sociological essay now.

Nonetheless, I would suggest that the above still seems to have an unwritten air of conditioned resentment within it.

But one cannot as yet gauge the true mindset of Thoth.

There weren't really World Wars previously.

That's just how things were recorded for Western Posterity.

There were some very big wars for sure, that sadly drew a lot of poor suckers in from around the globe......But chiefly centred around old European political  machinations......Just as we see today.....Europe and Russia still wallowing in the past.....The similarities between Vlad and Adolf's states of mind, are obvious.

And for sure, the Japs had their own little dig.

It all made for great patriotic films though.
