I think everyone's gotta have something that makes them unnerved or unsettled about their beliefs about reality.

like i spent the first half of my life believing in secular empiricism as the only acceptable things like whatever was scientifically proven was true and nothing else

later i became a christian and opened up a little more.

but check this out!!!

particle/wave duality. things behaving differently on a fundamental level according to whether or not they are observed. unsettling when you start wondering why

Particle wave duality can be explained by the de Broglie interpretation. People don't like it though because they like to feel smarter

i remember a pretty compelling explanation for the expression of particle/wave duality- being that the particles "bend" around the apertures and then behind them due to an unobservable ripple pattern

People are ignorant because they fear change and advancement. They only believe in what they see and can grasp. They limit their imagination therefore limiting their evolution. Anyone can become a master of energy manipulation if they allow themselves to believe it is a possibility.

The music in this video sounds extremely familiar, but I can't place it. Anyone know what it is?


To contribute, we seem to live in a world where people can have alternate facts and decide that how they feel is more important than verifiable numbers. People feel there's a massive immigration crime wave, and suddenly that's true. And if it's verifiably NOT true, that doesn't matter. Objective reality doesn't matter, and therefore can it really be said to exist?

Freaks me the hell out.

I think being a greedy gently caress who needs a million dollars messes with your qi or something.

I'm saying those hungry orphans should stop being lazy and needing food given to them, and instead should master their chi so they no longer need food.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
