I would suggest that all responses even if not instantaneous, have an element of automation relative to the responders conditioned database.
No free will and all that.

Why don't Republican Democrats choose someone honest, reliable and relative?
Why don't Democratic Republicans choose someone agile, switched on and also relative?

Thing is though.
The rich need the poor as much as the poor need the rich.
So keeping the poor fed is the pay off for them wiping the rich persons arse.

Same old.
Firstly prove a GOD, before asking questions relative to it.
Surgical procedures have evolved irrespective of myths and legends.

I think that it's best to view human activity and it's outcomes, as a natural process.
And therefore "climate change" and it's outcomes, likewise.
And in the same vein, addressing issues or not.
A large scale reduction in human population would perhaps be beneficial.
As long as the truly important people survive.
And I guess that they will.
Of course in the long term, there maybe nothing of Universal importance relying upon the success of Earth based activity.

I will watch to the end, later.
Though 3 mins approx was enough for now.
All that I can say in response for now, are two things.
1. NDE..Not Dead Experience.

It is not likely that your preference is achievable.
In fact I would say that it is likely to be not possible
Though I would never say never at all.
Preventative data abounds.

@n8nrgim
So you have evidence.
I've not argued that you don't have evidence.
Nonetheless, no matter how many accounts you have, your evidence is still anecdotal and cannot be scientifically scrutinized.
Unless you can induce out of body events/near death experiences at will, whereby it can be ascertained whether or not such events are actually external to the subject or just internal imagery.
I think that it's also fair to say that certain people will be conditioned to have/prefer a spiritual/metaphysical way of thinking, and will therefore respond accordingly during incidences of extreme mental stress/anguish.

The problem with the human world is humans.
And we can discuss at length all the bits that are problematic.
And then go on and do all our usual daily stuff,
And then go to sleep,
And then start all over again,
If we survive, that is.
And one day the Sun will engulf the Earth, by which time we may have already moved on to create problems elsewhere.
If we survive, that is.
Or if human assisted intelligence survives.
Though perhaps human assisted intelligence might not view things quite so problematically.
Which is not to suggest that problem solving is not a means to an end.
Nonetheless what I would suggest, is that a global human society evolved upon this grain of cosmic sand over the past few hundred thousand years or so, exactly as it did.
And it will continue to evolve as it will, relative to problem solving, for as long as is humanly possible.
Thing is:
If everyone was rich would anything get done?

Perhaps we created the maths to suit the physics.
And perhaps we evolved to be conscious because it as an inevitable consequence of life.
And therefore, perhaps we created the Math because we undoubtedly would.
And perhaps everything evolved to be as it is, because it was an inevitable consequence of material existence.
And why that would be, is perhaps more staggeringly profound than the physics itself.
Which is not to suggest that the physics of material development and structure is not staggeringly profound.

One assumes that reality is everything that occurs.
As an exercise in classification, reclassifying gender-type is no different to any previous gender classification exercise.
The application of different criteria is just a modification of the exercise.
Reality evolves as ideas evolve, as data is transferred and established and potential is recognised and utilised.

The evidence is insufficient and cannot be scrutinized scientifically.
Is it possible to create out of body experiences on demand in a controlled environment, so that they can be recorded and studied comprehensively?
As anecdotal evidence is not reliable.

Responsible for what.
Something or nothing.
Your guess is as good as mine.
Unfortunately for me and others.
We must accept our current situation, including what we do know and what we are currently unable to know.
I would suggest that current situations always depended upon good fortune.
Please share if you do.
Et tu, Brute?
Length is associated with a finite existence set.
Length is synonymous with duration and both are certainly associated with finite existences.
Though whether or not everything is finite, in so much as everything will eventually reach a point of infinite nothingness, is not so certain.
Given that we are reasonably sure that our existence is a reality.
Therefore, not necessarily a one off duration of everything.
Humans have arrived at physical laws.
And there maybe many more yet to be visited.

@Lemming
I would suggest that home is where one needs to be warm, especially as one ages.
And here in the UK, heating costs have risen significantly over the past few years.
In my job I visit elderly people, and it is now all too apparent that very few can afford to heat their properties during the daytime.
They rely on dressing in outdoor clothing to stay warm, or even staying in bed when things get really cold.
Mountains are great, but just consider how much time you spend up and down mountains, compared to how much time you spend at home.
And do you think that you will spend more time up and down mountains when you retire?

@Sam_Flynn
Yes, I maybe see your problem.
You currently display a limited capacity to assess and assimilate new and slightly more complex data sequences.
Relying heavily on well established profanities.
My vocabulary and understanding of words and language has certainly benefited from my online debating experiences, especially here on Dart.
You have dictionaries and other good reference material at your finger tips, so my advice to you would be to look, research, learn and apply constructively
WTF was all that nonsense. Jesus mother, fucking christ.
Is surely ASSININE and brings nothing to the table of constructive criticism.

As one gets older one becomes more aware cooler temperatures.
Wales is never particularly warm.
I could afford to retire to Spain or Portugal.
But I'm too set in my ways.
My advice is:
Find your perfect niche whilst you're still young.
Factoring in the necessities for a comfortable retirement.
Sunshine and warmth will be key factors.

GOD principle is that which might be responsible.
One can say no more.
Though one can speculate wildly, variously and extensively.
And come to no certain conclusions.
Thing is, we can only base our thinking on NOW.
Whereas the future of the Universe is likely to be very very lengthy.
So relative to Universal potential we are grossly lacking in knowledge,

@n8nrgim
In a broad sense it is evidence.
Though not evidence that will lead to anything conclusive.
I think that the intensity of brain activity in cases of near death events is well documented, though obviously the subjects of near death events do not die.
So it is certainly possible that such events will generate accurate memories of intense internal imaging.
Though this falls way short of evidence of an afterlife.

You would no doubt post relative to your own personally conditioned and programmed settings.
From which one might extrapolate and consequently consider your above rant, to be either constructive or deconstructive, or neither.
And therefore either ASININE or not in it's own right.
Or for that matter,
Even sick.
Such is an electro-chemical assessment of incoming data, tempered by influence and subsequently output in a narrative or verbal form.
In this case a visually appreciable narrative.

Exactly.
Though I'm sure you know what the word "solstice" defines.
And it's temporary significance in terms of ongoing Sun Earth interaction.
Your state of mind is obviously of no importance within the above context.
And neither is mine of course.
Though let's hope that ongoing Sun Earth interaction affords us a few more cycles of temporary contentment.
Regardless of how we might be inclined to process such information.

You are a human as per human classification.

I'm an accepter Bro.
I think that a GOD would be OK with accepters.

Whether or not residual energy mingles in the ionosphere or beyond.
Or is somehow compartmentalised in a special place.
One can speculate.
Anyway.
For now and for a few more years,
I will mingle here and impart my living energy as best I can.

Universally, "up" is an irrelevant concept.
Heaven would be elsewhere.
Though I'm guessing that our residual energy is stored in the ionosphere.
People have a tendency to guess all sorts of sh*t.
Sort of, I'm guessing that it was a GOD from up there what did it.
So I'm also guessing that we need to mumble stuff and sing songs for him.*
And maybe also build special pointy upwards buildings, so that our mumbling and sing songs can be heard by GOD.
*Him...Men had a tendency to guess this sh*t.
Women just guessed that after they had done all the chores it would be sex time.
Hmmm...Morals.
I can fu*k anything that moves and you look after the kids and cook the dinner.
And if you move and someone fu*ks you, me and my mates will throw stones at you.
