very interesting video [youtube]ZGaofy2XkKY&feature=related[/youtube]
i dont claim to know all answers just that the ones in your youtube vid are bullshitexcuse me sir, are you suggesting your cock is larger than mine? please fulfill me with knowledge from your big brain of wisdom. I know you must have all the answers to life!
its not "my" youtube video lol...i didn't say i agreed with all of it i simply said it was interesting and some of it seems to make sense
I would be curious to know which part. I was put off at the very start when the unsupported and slightly outrageous statement that our physical bodies are an illusion was presented as fact. The rest of the "magical science" that followed was predicated on that being correct. It provides no links to the mathematical foundation of this illusion idea. When I googled the topic, I found 100% correlation (admittedly in a limited sample set) between the assertion that our bodies (or matter) is an illusion and blog posts (or similarly informal hits) advancing a spiritual/religious agenda. cn

sorry i didnt notice you in the room with me while i read thisAll I know about the universe is that nothing outside of my direct senses exists while I'm not there to experience it...
lol thats cause im much more of an arsehole than you cnRC7, first off, I am absolutely tickled by the civility of your response. I was worried I would bring offense as apparently Ginja did.

... and then the ketamine wore off ... dang.cn
only connections i get on ketamine involves the side of my face and the floor and for those 10 mins its a damn strong connection too
...what if your senses are attached to everything in the universe?...?? Like a big web - and you get to wear a homemade costume and live with your aunt and work as a (freelance photographer for a newspaper / subduer of maniacal scientists) with a hot redhead in a navy blue dress that isn't afraid to have a coffee while very repetitive go-go dancers dance in cages along the wall of the café.
hehe...

The second video is highly speculative, but I have an easier time following the portion I've already watched.
On the one hand, it's worth remembering that a fair bit of quantum mechanics is, while internally consistent, in need of experimental verification or falsification. Due to the energetic nature of the experiments, that'll take the scientific community some time.
Now, generally I default to the materialist worldview because it has the weight of centuries of experiment behind it.
But add to that two key bits of info: 1) it's fairly easy to follow the scientific method to study material things, which generates the possibly spurious conclusion that reality = materiality, and
2) my mind is human and I am oh so prone to anthropomorphize things at the edge of my understanding. This is a universal human trait, and I believe it goes far toward explaining why our earlier religions describe the doings of creatures/forces/entities describable in human and mundane terms.
So I cannot refute the idea that telepathy etc. is possible. One thing I think I do know about it is that it is so fitful (if it does happen) that it frustrates all scientific, materialist-based efforts to isolate, measure, characterize it.
The sharing of tangled quantum states between minds (if "mind" has meaning, a proposition of interest to psychologists and philosophers) would be an attractive mechanism for that to happen. We'd need to find some sort of sensory organ or structure within the brain, a thing that transduces the quantum effect into a physical consequence that then gets further refined (or coarsened) into a neural impulse or state change.
Fun musings for a damned hot Sunday evening. cn
