Shoulder replacement is not something that I have ever come across before.

Hips and knees, but not shoulders.

Will have to research the reverse aspect of the op.

And the heart is an amazing component of an amazing machine.

Keep fit, stay healthy.

Keep making the Medicare payments.

Nice.

For sure  in terms of event and duration, I wouldn't disagree with the idea that we are always at the universal cutting edge.

And I wasn't really referring to being spied upon by the Borg. I was questioning the significance of our emergent consciousness as a necessary or unnecessary

component of the universal event.

Are we an emergent property of the bigger picture and therefore significant as such?

And by "we" I'm also referring to material development/evolution upon planet Earth, and not just the development of the intellectual blob.

Three possible levels of self-centredness, our own, the planet's, the universe's.

Four...So what about ET?

And thoughts of Quantum Entanglement. LOL.

Myths have a tendency to be a mixture of fact and fiction.

Sort of, this guy lived here and he did some crazy stuff.

People like to remember the crazy stuff.

Navalny thought.

As did.

Maxim Kuzminov.

Other Russians

Had other ideas.

Am I not yours?

What did you not understand?

Why were my questions so difficult?

How you doing?

Is

Amber.

Nonetheless, I responded.

Threads unravel,

So,

Try and be,

Less confrontational,

And more,

Conversational.

Consciousness, the emergent quality of subconsciousness.

Is the duality of the beast.

is the necessity of the beast, perhaps.

Or maybe an accident.

Or just so.

Where do you think we are, within the Universal timeframe?

Are we just an unnoticed and temporary accident?

Scientific research furthers material progress and therefore social change and greater expectancy.

Social change and greater expectancy are perhaps the most significant influencers of psychological turmoil affecting modern generations.

Moderation is a good coping strategy.

Social evolution is material evolution is intellectual evolution is data evolution is universal progress at Planet Earth level.

I cannot see any way back, because the past was.

Some might say that we are addicted to data technology.

And some might suggest an evolved symbiosis.

I have fond memories of the 1960's.

And then stuff happened.

And now I consider my mortality.

See what I mean Amber?

Not my opinion, just quoting popular history books.

Great is as great does I suppose.

And greatness is perhaps either an ego trip or hero worship.

An opinion in other words.

Which doesn't necessarily come with an associated burden of proof.

Do you have any great tools?

Or are they just reliable tools that function appropriately?

Ha Ha.

Bang on.

Definitely a subliminal reference there to hydrogen fuel cells.

Makeshift dinner today as Mrs Zed is in Brum with the daughters for her birthday. Bhangra show at the Rep.

Not my cup of tea.

Regards to you and Mrs Stephen.

4. Be the lovable rogue that all your pals want to cuddle and vote for.

Does RM fit into this category?

The World is bombarded on a daily basis with sufficient free energy from the Sun...We just don't utilise all of it's potential..

And as I clearly stated, your hypothesis is reasonable.

The biblical version is similarly analogical, relative to intellectual development as it was 2000 or so years ago.

And my reasonable prediction/hypothesis, is that we and or our intellectual derivatives will one day be the interstellar, intergalactic super-intelligentsia in big spaceships.

Though it's seemingly a necessity of thought and intellectual development to think that a greater intelligence exists elsewhere, but this is just an idea that is not necessarily correct.

Not necessarily acting.

Though, if thought is not a consequence of material processes then what else would it be?

In a sequence of events do thoughts not precede manifest actions?

Does this not imply a certain tangible quality to all events in a sequence?

It really is bedtime.

Goodnight.

We've all done it.

And did you notice, that you brought up what you weren't going too.

And did you ever volunteer for a mans-slaughter?

Hey, well worked out. Tell Reece about dreams and nightmares.

It's a clincher.

And sleep beckons.

23.48

Well past my bedtime.

Weekends a go go Bruce.

I'm not suggesting that it is not a reasonable hypothesis.

Though a super-intelligence with big spaceships, might not have evolved yet...Which is also a reasonable hypothesis.

Your enthusiasm leads to quirky errors.

Was Mitt, Rodney's father?

And are you saying that you are not Richard Gere after all.

And for sure, I often use Buddhist mantras when selling myself short.

Though I do agree that indeterminate topics require a flexible approach.

Have a nice day.

NDE's require specific nearly dead circumstances.

Which although relative to evolution by association, are nonetheless, seemingly random.

Not that I like using the word "random", because events have a tendency to be sequential.

Therefore, more of an unpredictable sequence of events, rather than a random event.

Which isn't to say that internal processing is not continuously evolving.

Nope, it probably did say that in the bible.

It's just a matter of finding an appropriate bit and reinterpreting it.

Maybe.

Or 

Maybe not.

Catch 22.

Alexander was great.

Thought is either a functional process or not.

What do you think powers thought, if not a biological process?

Though for sure, thought is a profound.

I tend to look at things from a purely process and function point of view

So I would say that the intention of the individual unconnected unit, is self-focused, for itself.

Context might dictate that output is designed/intended to influence other similar units, though this does not make the primary intention of the individual any less self focused.

To be perfectly honest I have no insight into the daily life of Elon Musk.

And I would guess that neither do you.

Like me you probably glean your information from second hand media sources.

And I personally, take little interest.

Though he must be doing something rather than nothing.

Trump cares about Trump and his money.

That's about the strength of it.

He's also had this ongoing Eastern European Lady thing.

And he's seemingly keen on Golf.

But for sure' he's  winged it in the hair department for quite a while now.

Such is the benefit of money and the confidence that goes with it.

Debt is just one of those human things.

A bit like expediency.

Striving  to be selfless, is a self centred purpose.

There's no escaping the cranial prison.

You just asked a question.

And answered it in the next line.

Money is what makes society and progress tick.

Will be interesting to see what more you have to say.

Very true.

What happened to Lemming?

A Lunatic suffering with dementia.

You just explained the significance of Elon Musk in 47 words.

The whole American political system is about the elite rich.

In fact all political systems are about the elite, who will undoubtedly accrue wealth from their exploits.

Easy to use site with a good mix of users.

What more does one require.

A medal for existing perhaps?

Or you could just ignore it.

Yep, great idea for a story.

Though I think a better idea would be an omni-sensible GOD.

But like you said...It's all ideas.

And too be honest, floating orbs also make for good sci-fi.

Though as a system of personal data transfer, not really a 2000 year improvement on todays data transfer methods.

If an improvement at all.

Tap Tap Tap Send is all that it takes now.

I think that you guys were tired and therefore rambling a bit.

Two  sensible younger people who share the same desire to improve the lives of all Americans, and to bring about World peace.

Fucking boring hey!

All that is required.

Is a super out of this world spacecraft.

And a six foot Caucasian hippy to stroll down the exit ramp surrounded by angel bodyguards.

That would be too obvious though.

Nope it's up a mountain with Moses, chiselling lumps of rock.

Moses is the old Hebrew word for Derek I presume.

Though I thought that Derek was the old Latin word for basket case.

If you get my drift.

Actually Derek Moses  still holds the record as the youngest person to cross the River Nile in a basket.

Hence the term, chicken in a basket.

And the old joke, why did the chicken cross the road.

Keep waltzing Matilda.

For sure.

He's make believe and can do anything.

Though with the best will in the world, I wouldn't refer to presenting Moses with ten tablets of stone as particularly super-natural.

I rather think that inscribing  stones, was a clumsy old human way of recording and presenting data.

Cutting edge technology back then though.

Funny how GOD didn't have this technology when he first started sending us messages..

It was burning bushes and tablets of stone back in the day.

Odd for an omniscient one.

Not even ten neatly penned sides of A4, photocopied for Moses to distribute.

Is a profoundly correct statement.

Remove the thinking process, and we would still be hiding up trees, out of the reach of apex predators.

What would there be without an evolutionary process of material development and manipulation? 

For sure no rockets, but also no hard core science, engineering or competent people.

And social order dictates progress.

So we currently have Musk near the top of the tree.

And a thousand and one scientists and engineers, much lower down.

It's the way things work.

And I have a nice little niche somewhere near the bottom.

Though we will all succumb to the vagaries of time, in no more than a fleeting universal moment.

So one cannot afford to waste ones time worrying about what was, what is and what will be.

Hesitancy is perhaps sometimes more prudent than over-confidence in certain situations.

Though:

I would suggest that Global words in the sky, are unlikely to convince anyone of anything, other than that someone wrote global words in the sky.

Unless there was a very big bloke with a very big big piece of paper and a very big  pencil.

And probably a very big beard.

As it was, Feb 13 was very overcast, so I missed the very big global words.

Well, to be perfectly honest.

I credit the evolutionary process and all the factors therein, that afford material development.

Which includes the development of intellect, knowledge and the ability to manipulate.

Alongside this, human society has also evolved, and is ordered and functions in a particular way.

So it's fair to suggest that any single factor retrospectively removed from the evolutionary equation, would result in a retrograde position.

The butterfly effect as it were.

Fortunately, time does not allow us to meddle either in the past or the future.

So for now, you will have to tolerate Elon Musk's existence.

I wouldn't disagree.

Though I would  go further and suggest that everything is reliant upon knowledge.

And by everything, I mean everything.

Or the pound coin.

Yes, it's nice to think that one is allowed a reasonable level of selfish  input.
