That'll definitely tell you some truths about yourself that you may not want to hear when you first pick it up.

I'm not sure it's the same thing, I mean, I think a large part of who you and I are, all of us, and how we think, how we go about each day, is based on these very basic responses to stimuli in your environment. You (we) react to them instantly when you see them, without being aware of it at all.

A clever trick to help reduce pollution is to find and irreversibly shut down factories, chemical production and resource extraction operations close to you.

The philosophy here is one of 'hard determination' which suggests that every action you take, no matter how random, is a function of inputs around you as opposed to be something born from a spark of 'creativity'. It's kinda sorta interesting to think about, but suggesting it as an 'hard truth' is a bit of a stretch.

That would be the determinism of atoms, of quarks, or quantum fields, to the end of time. That everything is already played out, and finalized, and we are somehow going through it again, etc. I doubt many actually believe this.

And yes, I'm jealous, but not bitter. I wouldn't turn down life on easy mode either, if it were offered to me. I'm at peace with how hosed I am, anyway. When I become a burden on my son, I'll research whatever pills you shouldn't mix with alcohol and down enough to kill an elephant. gently caress being elderly and living in squalor. Until then, his future is the only one that matters to me. I had a pretty decent run regardless, as long as you don't count my childhood. Edit: I never got the 3O hate.

Time_pants posted:Okay... what? That's wild. Got any reading about it you can recommend that someone with a science background that endsd in high school? Short version is if you look at a star and measure the precise spectrum of colors of light coming out of it you see missing bits called “absorption somethins” The absorption somethins tell you how much stuff besides pure hydrogen is in the star, and that info, plus the stars mass which you can also measure via ( ???? ) tells you the real color of light emitted by the star. But when you look at the star its not the color it should be: its colors are shifted red if its moving away from us, or its shifted blue if its moving towards us. Like the dopplar effect of a train horn as it goes by, but for light colors. And the mind blowing bit is that every single star you look at and measure is red shifted. All of them. So - basically, every single thing in the observable universe is moving away from us. The current explanation is that space itself is literally expanding. Or maybe we smell real bad i dunno.

Hot baths are underrated, mainly because most people don't have bathtubs that are deep enough. A hot bath with Epsom salt, low lights, and some relaxing music on the phone or whatever kicks rear end.

The "no such thing as free will" is on the same level as "we're all just the universe" in that it's kind of a fun philosophical soundbite but doesn't really have any meaningful application or use. On one hand if free will doesn't exist in the purest sense then why have laws, but on the other it does lend credence to why, in fact, you are hitting yourself.

Just lying in your... filthy water... ugh I lived in Japan for five years, and I learned that baths are really popular over there. Here's the trick: you take a shower first to wash yourself off, then you draw the bath. Kind of like going to a non-gross swimming pool. If that sounds like too much effort, the alternative is wallowing in greasy dirt water or not taking baths. Choose whatever you want, but there is a step in the process you can add to make it sanitary.

The real reason for Brexit* was not that the UK couldn't stand taking orders from Brussels, but that it loved following the orders too much. The only thing brits like more than following The Rules to the letter is being able to complain about all the ridiculous rules we had to follow. The only thing british people in Authority love more is smugly telling the serfs that the EU Says No, Not My Job Mate. This wouldn't have been an issue but they took it too far - It's the EU closing down your cafe because your toilet door is too small. Nothing I can do about it love, those are the rules, I don't write em, wish I did. Although the funniest part of that is that many of the rules were drafted, heavily contributed or ported from existing British regulatory and legal frameworks. All the other member states love to bitch about the rules but they all understand them correctly as a set of platonic ideals. If you actually go to other EU states this is patently obvious, the French, for example give no fucks how many centimetres your unearthed light switch is from the sink. The Dutch let stoned / drunk people fall into unguarded canals full of rusty bikes. The Germans take part in some truly terrifying rural motorsports. They all understand that the rules are fine, but there to be bent and broken, not to bend and break the country over. Now of course the Great Satan has been vanquished from the land, but like DPRK without the west there is nowhere to point the blame for the managed decline and crumbling services but inwards and the crabs are circling inside the bucket even faster. * obviously also racism, but the racists didn't need convincing, they didn't want in before and they never stopped wanting out

fresh_cheese posted:Short version is if you look at a star and measure the precise spectrum of colors of light coming out of it you see missing bits called “absorption somethins” Fun fact: radio static was one of the earlier proofs of the expanding universe. When the Big Bang occurred, a mere fraction after the universe was created, the first light waves escaped it. This light has been traveling so long, it has red-shifted into a spectrum that is audible to anyone with a basic radio antenna. When you hear radio static from an antenna, you're technically listening to the very moment that time itself began. Kind of awe-inspiring/horrific to think about.
