Can one buy their way in?
March 21, 2022 at 15:55
It depends on the objective reality one lives in. In the context of killer whale-gods, wasp-gods, red ant-gods, bonobo-, and even homo sapiens-gods, t...
March 21, 2022 at 15:13
The more I read here, the more that seems to be the case! Reality seems to be touched upon sporadically, like a fly probing the steamy pile. The pile ...

See what I mean? I was scrolling and a text rolled up. I couldn't see the poster yet. But already after one sentence (about liquidity) it became clear...
March 21, 2022 at 14:28
I'm not sure it's utterly unintelligible. Our intelligence is god-given and they were pretty confident and intelligent enough to cook up the basics of...
March 21, 2022 at 14:24
Some though, by clever tactics and strategies, try to ride along for free or are way overdue.

Rumor: Philosophers looooove isms, language, and fancy words Fact: The rumor is true
March 21, 2022 at 13:52
The period time is a Planck time. The amplitude a Planck length. That's the maximum length the virtual particles had to oscillate. They don't oscillat...
March 21, 2022 at 13:40
Yes. And both the changing of the metric and real particles moving asymmetrically (thermodynamically, irreversibly) constitute time. Thermodynamic tim...

That's the usual defense in favor of the view that scientific, mathematical reality is a real one. We use it to construct technology with. But we can ...

Oops, soory! Omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent.
March 21, 2022 at 11:57
Must be because I'm married 10 years today! Creepy... That's what Plato thought. He loved Xenophanes who disliked the many gods. They, unknowingly, we...
March 21, 2022 at 11:56
On the other hand, the more proper overlapping is the result of hypothesizing a reality consistent with monotheism. Which means, an unreachable unique...
March 21, 2022 at 11:41
Plato's afterlife world is math-heaven. Only to be experienced in all splendor and pristine being after death. Math approximates. We can't imagine tho...
March 21, 2022 at 11:12
I could be mistaken, but it seems you are fascinated by Lady Mathematica. Her curvy lines are seductive indeed. Her power to break things up, pull thi...

Don't take it personal, Agent! I just picked two arbitrary examples from the story sent to me last week. Stroll along well!
March 21, 2022 at 10:49
Religion and psychopathia are mixed frequently, by theists as well as atheists. Atheists, while meaning it well, use it as an excuse to stick to their...
March 21, 2022 at 10:47
Rest assure AgentSmith. Like panther god told woodlouse god: sit back buddy, lay back and enjoy the play.
March 21, 2022 at 10:31
This is a typical note of the late descendants of Xenophanes and Plato, who started the trend towards a unified, unreachable being or reality. X didn'...
March 21, 2022 at 10:27
Hai III! Yes, I thought so too, and wrote, for the sake of the story, that I actually didn't check. For the proper context. But last three weeks see a...
March 21, 2022 at 10:16
Before not too long, the revelation the gods were finally able to communicate to me, in an almost incredible, unbelievably vivid and lucid dream, will...
March 21, 2022 at 09:58
Before the observation they are in superposition. Then the observation project the state on one of the eigenstates. The measurement of position collap...
March 21, 2022 at 06:46
That's a good question! I think both. Something mysterious is missing from them. Something unexplainable. The universe is explainable. Be it by physic...
March 21, 2022 at 01:53
I don't think we are the heads of some universal hydrabeast, using us to masturbate in its attempt to spawn new universes as it can't find a female co...
March 21, 2022 at 01:28
Yes. I take them for granted. But there is something very different between taking an eternal universe for granted (and I do take that for granted, as...
March 21, 2022 at 01:13
From co-working finite powers, with creation ability.
March 21, 2022 at 00:35
If the hole, the gap, is closed, what else can you conclude? That it's just there for us? How can it be there just for us? Somehow it's more reasonabl...
March 21, 2022 at 00:31
It is an energy proving we are expanding in a higher dimensional infinite space, created by eternal gods to gìve room for the eternally re-inflating u...
March 21, 2022 at 00:23
Taking your temperature is the euphemism... What if the hole is closed? Can I still put the thermometer in? Don't ever trust a priest asking you this!
March 21, 2022 at 00:10
Child: Why is there a universe? Theist Father: The universe was created for you. Now go to sleep. Your brain’s neurotransmitters need to slow down for...
March 21, 2022 at 00:00
P Sorry Tom, I'm sticking different things in that hole when I don't have an answer...
March 20, 2022 at 23:55
Dont you laugh! No. That's not what you do if you don't have an answer. Though I have to admit, eternal gods are a mystery. But at least they explain ...
March 20, 2022 at 23:07
Because there is an answer! And you inspired my answer.
March 20, 2022 at 23:00
I'm gonna brush my teeth lll! How could the universe have existed without gods? How can dead particles, conforming to physical laws, have brought them...
March 20, 2022 at 22:56
If gods made love and hate particles which had to behave in a very precise mathematical way, to make both and collections of them function properly, r...
March 20, 2022 at 22:40
That's it! There is no scientific evidence of what goes on inside of matter. Science can describe the outside but not the inside.
March 20, 2022 at 20:56
What about the reason that there exists a universe?
March 20, 2022 at 20:50
Because showing to be awake stands on the same level as showing to have dreamt. You simply can't proof the both.
March 20, 2022 at 20:45
Don't take Mello seriously, my friend! We both know better!
March 20, 2022 at 20:42
Consider me a psychopantheist, universeness.
March 20, 2022 at 19:44
Absolutely not. Even elementary particles. The gods had a reason creating them. That gives love meaning. Await the final word to be told my fellow Ear...
March 20, 2022 at 19:26
Now that's a truly philosophical statement!
March 20, 2022 at 19:22
Seems you are one of them...
March 20, 2022 at 19:02
Love would mean nothing without gods having created it. They had good reason reason for creating it. I will explain this in an upcoming short story. T...
March 20, 2022 at 19:00
This thread is quite hot! 14 pages in 4 days. Seems atheists have a lot to talk about for non-existent gods!
March 20, 2022 at 18:16
There you go!
March 20, 2022 at 18:14
By the very fact an atheist denies gods he accepts their existence. He only wants proof they exist.
March 20, 2022 at 18:07
I think virtual particles on a central singularity are the first unmoved mover, in the scientific sense. They don't move unidirectional in time and re...
March 20, 2022 at 18:02
Unless you declare the ontology and epistemology of theism empty. But indeed, from the scientific òntology and epistemology alone you can't deduce the...
March 20, 2022 at 17:53
Just an episode, universeness, just an episode... Or maybe, the final chapter...(don't get me wrong though)
