I get all the not neurology and laughs I need from the TV show Superhuman. The neurologist on the show is a hoot.

OK. I get it. It all happens in the brain by magic and everything else is an illusion. Similarly, all the people we see on TV are hidden in the TV com...

The potential exists as a real field. I view it as fundamental intelligence. Pretty much what Daoists intuited thousands of years ago. When we see som...

Probably not my place to discuss who is a prophet and who isn't. It's the stuff off wars.

It's the image that Bohm's quantum physics potential that is so interesting. Observe how the action is directed by the quantum potent potential and ho...

Philosophy is about putting together clues imagining patterns in differences and patterns. There are lots of patterns that can be discerned from Bohm'...

This is the first time I've heard of such a concept so it must have gone viral last night if it is generally understood. Believe as you wish, it is yo...

Brute fact alert!

Life does change as is affected by what it learns.

It is possible by observing oneself, but if one wishes to hand-off their intelligence and ability to choose to some outside supernatural force, they a...
