Yes, the Totality of what is real as a Whole would be the one and only permanent thing. There could not be any spacers of impossible Nothingness withi...

Made these today: God thought of, planned, designed, and implemented Human Nature—angelic to demented, And in His recipe’s span those expressed Unsurp...

The Eternal Basis would be unmakeable and unbreakable, as ungenerated and deathless.
August 17, 2019 at 19:11
I do know some seemingly random air-heads, but that is just a joke here, but the pearl of the joke is that 'completely random' would be a total disast...
August 17, 2019 at 03:26
Thankfully, whereas a single particle exhibits a degree of randomness, in systems incorporating millions of particles averaging takes over and, at the...

Or just pot and Persia-fumes, so the colors don't come out and grab you—pulling you into your big 4K TV.

I fell up the stairs of an escalator once, but that probably doesn't count. Another time, I lay flat on the earth at night, looking up at the stars an...

Blowing your mind… The sun is not the same sun as it was a trillionth of a second ago, although to us a semblance of the ‘sun’ remains. There are, str...

The light of Heav’n did the Earth illumine, When He shaped human nature’s acumen. Temptations He then placed everywhere, But He’ll punish us for being...

It's confusing, for in quantum mechanics, there's no underlying objective state, as all is in a superposition until some interaction occurs, for which...
August 16, 2019 at 00:59
There is a Plank time, the shortest time in which anything can happen, and there are zillions of these times a second. Presumably, the discreteness of...
August 16, 2019 at 00:37
As we've kind of measured, there may be trillions of tiny changes in tiny constituents every second, although the semblances containing them, such as ...
August 15, 2019 at 23:27
How about a 'transitioning', via laws. Or just the one big effect of the Big Bang continuing? Our local cause and effect analysis has to draw a bounda...
August 15, 2019 at 23:02
Yes, I do, but some are so taken by the idea that I'll have to wait for them to die. The younger generation seems more amenable to change. The Great F...
August 15, 2019 at 21:49
Of course, the mythical, biblical 'God' idea is doomed, and is heading toward dead. 'God' has no character and so it is a rather sad situation, for to...
August 15, 2019 at 21:33
It's tough. We can't run the universe again to see it anything different happened, and even if we could, the difference might have mostly been at the ...
August 15, 2019 at 21:01
Yes, probably, as not 100% all one way, just as many might have some amount of any condition, such as depression, but not really notice, since it does...
August 15, 2019 at 20:50
@thewonder is a good person here and keeps the discussions going, plus he is being forthright. There can be degrees of 'problems' with the masculiniza...
August 15, 2019 at 19:38
Shey might not go for that, plus the 'o' is kind of a male ending, such as with 'filipino' (vs filipina) which still would be good for males who have ...
August 15, 2019 at 19:01
Yes, I was unaware; so, the rediscoveries might indicate that they would be useful.
August 15, 2019 at 18:57
A group of all females could be called 'gnyos'. Lately, I hear that there are 57 genders. Where does it ever end?
August 15, 2019 at 18:35
In the New Grammar School: Genderless Pronouns Since there are no gender neutral pronouns in the English Language, how do we refer to antecedents whos...
August 15, 2019 at 18:24
When gender is unknown, Some pronouns can’t be said, So, for he or she, use “e”, As for him or her, it’s “erm”, And for his or hers, use “eir”. As for...

From my Rubaiyat II: The universe’s mantle binds us worn— Tears feeding the river on which we’re borne. Hell’s but an ember of our senseless fears; He...

An Unreal Experience I climbed the Himalayas, long ago, While traveling for the Army DIA to be, And complained to the wise Lama Up there that life cou...

The 'God' who is supposed to be everywhere shows up nowhere.
August 14, 2019 at 23:32
Played it over 25 years ago; it has a book in it at the start.
August 14, 2019 at 22:22
Yes, but were we ever responsible for what our wills came to be? Or were our wills shaped by our genetics, environment, and experiences?
August 14, 2019 at 21:34
I've been retired since 2000; first I write them (they don't just stream in but for sometimes. imagining I'm in the action), then I do most of the art...

THE SUPER TOE IS CAUSELESS, THUS, THAT IS THE SUPER TOE! Our train of thought has driven us to the answer, Of all that borne from near ‘nothing’ into ...
August 14, 2019 at 18:47
Undetermined will wouldn't work. It's bad enough that some 'randomness' might creep in to harm the will. Tapping in to all future consequences in a bl...
August 14, 2019 at 18:32
Yes, the 'nonphysical' isn't coherent because 'it' would communicate with the physical in physical terms, using energy and material whatnot, making it...
August 14, 2019 at 18:14
That's fine for any poems I put out.
August 14, 2019 at 16:55
And lighter toward dawn. We need to return to First Principles and First Philosophy with a probably good direction that The Theory of Everything is li...
August 14, 2019 at 03:58
Yes, particles are important, as useful field disturbances/perturbances, a kind of an alphabet that leads to words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, in...
August 14, 2019 at 02:25
Yeah, and as they say in the Stanford article, there are about five further qualifications to do with what you said. Most times, I can hardly but keep...
August 14, 2019 at 02:14
You mean that everything possible, including space, has to exist? Could be, for the Eternal Basis has no point for any input to come into it, making i...
August 14, 2019 at 01:58
Especially since it is immediately sequential to certain brain results, and contains and represents those products, in a unified way, interrelating al...
August 14, 2019 at 01:40
I do like a monad. And this moment is brought to us by our sponsor, the monad of Energy/Information, if there is such a neutral one, making for both t...
August 14, 2019 at 01:33
It can be left as a tangent for another day. We suspect that particles are field quanta, which gets rids of them if we are whittling away the non basi...
August 14, 2019 at 01:03
And nothing anywhere in physics, as left out, kind of like defaulting to 'Never Mind; All Matters'. Idealism: 'Ever Mind; No Matter'. Dualism: 'Some M...
August 14, 2019 at 00:44
The 'm' in Einstein's E=mcc is for mass; the rest of it is just about the ratio/conversion factor. Mass is close enough to matter to not usually matte...
August 14, 2019 at 00:22
I like it, and I have it somewhat written, in part here: I asked my djinni, “Show me another, more fundamental, version of time, in which the past and...
August 14, 2019 at 00:16
I'm not sure, but I read now and again that information is equivalent to energy, which is a new idea, and of course that energy is equivalent to mass ...
August 13, 2019 at 23:56
This is indeed presentism, which I like because it is the message of the universe to us, but it has some problems that I can't currently resolve. Also...
August 13, 2019 at 23:51
It is being revived, to resolve its problems—as 'information' possibly being the neutral monad.
August 13, 2019 at 23:39
Yes, as conserved, although it isn't conserved in Relativity in an expanding universe; however, quantum gravity hasn't had its say about that yet. It ...
August 13, 2019 at 21:52
Yes, I make them all. Used iclone for the last one. I suspect that the Eternal Energy can never be still, for we note that our reality never remains a...
August 13, 2019 at 20:52
All of my quatrain verses have the same number of syllables, usually ten, but they don't aim to be iambic.
