Maybe visit a college and take an interest inventory test? Being a leader doesn't necessarily lead to happiness. And not being a leader doesn't make y...

Huh?

I hope we can find more intelligent beings. That might answer the question better than anything so far.

Kind of feels like lots of people fear the big questions. They have trouble as we all do with the humdrum stuff so thinking about our significance as ...

In particular how does one meet local people to talk to about big topics about morality and existence?

Yes, general public.

Is our intelligence uniquely better or just a magnitude of cognitive qualities greater?

They do when corners are cut.

Indeed. Kind of like how business people that aren't mechanics can screw up the car industries.

Damn. This thing is still going?

We expect to wake up yes, but it is never promised, and we know we will succumb eventually so non-acceptance is pointless. But certainly we'd prefer t...

It's an interesting time when they are essentially forced to create vaccines for Covid-19 and sell largely at cost to the government. Smart law making...

If we are nothing more than the perpetually rotting physical I can't be sure it has any meaning. We do good, we experience good, we learn, we try to e...

Well what if the information goes in one direction? The mind to the brain to the body? We can measure the brain effects, but can't prove there isn't a...

Can we be sure the brain is where the mind is? A friend likes to remind me that our digestive system contains more neurons than a cat's entire brain a...

What if the mind, perhaps of ethereal substance doesn't effect the physical world and therefore cannot be measured? Maybe it is essentially 0 dimensio...

So science doesn't necessarily collapse if the mind at least in part exists outside of the physical as we know it?

Babies respond more positively to traditionally beautiful face before a time when they presumably associate different faces with positive or negative ...

Lol. No. But certainly our reactions are stronger when they have certain more extreme qualities.

I don't think beauty contains inherent virtue.

Inconceivable!! Truly a dizzying intellect. Lol.

Some argue matter and energy have equivalency.

Unknowingly know? Like cryptomnesia?

Essentially. Lol.

Is Infinity of running around a track indefinitely differ from running straight and having road added in front of you indefinitely? Any examples of In...

How can you show a reality you have experienced is more real than the one most of the rest of us experience? Can you return here with information that...

I think there were two versions. One left off the ending I think.

How? And what proof?

I appreciate the sentiment. Age research gives me hope. NAD+, senolytics, stem cells, gene therapy. The future looks somewhat bright if I live long an...

I heard Tilda might be in the sequel somehow.

A brain is needed for an experience, and an experience requires the brain. Full circle huh? How do we know the brain isn't the puppet that just keeps ...

You've had multiple NDEs? Can you prove that?

Some people that study NDE claim brain activity has ceased. It really depends on what they say. They can create stuff from imagination shortly before ...

Maybe I don't mean more real so much as that the current apparent reality is more of a temporary simulation and not the main show. Hopefully.

I wish NDEs were a lot more convincing. Everything described is indescribable upon them waking back up, and often excludes the 3 less spacial senses. ...

There must be so much to be perceived that we can't here? It feels like my mind can take in so much more than my senses ever gave me. And frankly afte...

I assume those that mathematically try to calculate how many different worlds there are require a balance as there needs to be balances in each world.

Still unclear on how the Ancient One knew Strange would be the best of all of them despite not being able to see past her own death.

Perhaps human animals are more needy than animal animals. Animal animals don't care about money or material things, and perhaps have fewer social need...

I consider the deserving of the suffering of one and the lack of suffering of the other. If suffering was the standard to all we would have no compari...

Well we aren't Gods. We barely have the capacity to consider human predicaments let alone all life.

I wasn't so much concerned with institutions as the judgement of people is full of folly and is pretty subjective. In the case of a man that everyone ...

Master Po was awesome. I think he also kept mogwai. Lol. Are you arguing that he is blind but can still find peace? I mean more like body aches, slowi...

I hope peace and calm can be found without the need of better coping skills in life against stress, physical pain, or sadnesses. Life seems to offer m...

Very well, a priest that is well respected and wise.

I haven't been to the movies in at least a year until yesterday I saw Ghostbusters Afterlife. Good movie. Goser needed work though. I literally was th...

I wasn't familiar with the Dr. Strange character until Cumberbatch took the role. Otherwise might of skipped the film. But at least now Downey Jr. can...

If actors can only play characters of their own demographic what room is there to act? There would be no black Annie or Hamilton or Glenn Close as Abr...

How so? What if one is a brave warrior and they are hand picked by the tribe to be the leader. A position they didn't seek or want, but will use to se...

Couldn't thought be the logical and orderly pattern of things that are predictable while emotion is always the reaction towards the unpredictable that...
