Yeah, it is ironic that you confirmed my claim, rather than answering straightforward, even if the answer is 'I don't know', for which no one would cr...

So every question you can't or don't want to answer is stupid, vague and loaded, huh? :chin:

But that's people dependent, not government dependent.

But that choice isn't active until you're alive. Why are you alive to begin with? It's simple. The existence of a thing necessitates its existence. Ev...

It's right there in the question. It made a sound, but nobody heard it.

Let me ask you something, do we need anything? Do we even need to live?

I figured he meant beyond the scope of conventional science, considering he presented a scientific study himself. Is my interpretation incorrect @"Way...

Why not? That's the claim; malpractice.

@"Wallows" Where'd the skull go?

Isn't he just saying that secular-scientific thought is denying scientific progress, by limiting itself? Seems pretty straightforward.

It's one reason: relation. The amount of objects in relation is irrelevant.

Surely, neither would I, if I didn't extensively look in to it. So as you've already mentioned - experience is key. It reminds me of a story about a m...

Too bad. Think of a man walking. He changes, because his position changes; but his position is not determined in relation to himself, as he is always ...

Because change is based on relation. I.E The past is the past in relation to the present, but remains as the present in relation to itself.

Fair enough. But consider how UFO data, of which there is an overabundance, was never shared with the public with the supposition that it would panic ...

Perhaps. But if I may ask, have you considered that they are amenable, and they are being discredited for other reasons? Just like how alternating cur...

But I'm always right side up? Within a sack of flesh.

But what if you don't?

You turn upside down.

It depressed itself in to the dark and cold abyss, upon contact with some sharp water; and became the talk of the funny papers.

Titanic already did that.

Words without context are just noise. People make of them what they will; as is the case when left to interpret shadows. So perhaps it's not whether t...

A substantial amount of reading? No. A substantial amount of thinking? Yes.

But that's the same.

Within discussion, an opinion is unavoidable. Otherwise, the stance which takes no sides, is simple acceptance.

And yet it does. It denotes that something is partly possible and partly impossible. Which would mean that it must be in some form impossible and in s...

Not that per se, but something like Zen. A supplementary art to Iaido; Iaido being tension and Ryudo being release of tension. Edit: If one considers ...

But on the upside, there's STALKER.

Quite. Or Ryudo.

It is not as far as we know, but regardless if we know. Our knowledge as to the aforementioned example, neither gives or takes away from its possibili...

I'll be as clear as I can. If a thing was clearly impossible, it wouldn't be debated - you couldn't think of it as possible, as it would be clearly an...

I get what you're saying. But considering we believe in what we know and know what we believe, I don't see how one is more certain than the other.

Aren't the two intrinsically connected, however?

My dude, think of it in the context of Schrödinger's cat. Until you open the box and see, it's all on the table. That said, if something was impossibl...

Yeah. If you're paying it attention, it's of interest to you.

That's what makes them equal. They are equally inequal. If you consider people to be puzzle pieces, you'll get what the statement means.

Woah.

Why my word? There's enough testimonies and research on the matter, that you could find, if only you looked.

Sure. But every refusal you make, means you choose something over the refused object. So every time you refuse to believe something, you also choose t...

Let's go with conscious actions. Better?

You enact your beliefs. You write comments like these, because you believe you should write them.

But you're free to discard your beliefs and adopt others in their place at any time. Which gives you some power of choice.

Yes. You may choose to have a certain belief, in the same way you may choose to dress yourself in a certain way. Belief and action are a pair. You'll ...

Victim to one of the classic blunders.

What about the events themselves?

What about clinically dead patients who have full knowledge of what transpired during their intermission?

In what sense?

Error 404: Wayfarer has lost his way.

I get that. But as @"TheMadFool" mentioned Which means, purportedly, that it's more often than not, perceived to be beneficial to pull the plug on the...
