I think you’re giving Terrance too much credit. He might have stumbled upon something useful (doubtful) but it was accidental, and not, I think, intentional on his part. Sadly, I can’t tell from your post what the deeper valid motive is.... Have yall come across "Assembly Theory"?
My first reading is that it's kinda a like a Christopher Alexander process take on what comprises life; eg: "The specific molecules in your body aren’t that old, but the lineage of these objects being reconstructed goes back that far.... I love this. I think it's really hard to talk about aliens in a serious way because there's so much bs, you risk being bucketed in a camp of "loonies;" as a result our thinking about extraterrestrial intelligence is pretty underdeveloped as a civilization.... - onWEIRD🍄🐉: A mushroom sold openly in Chinese markets makes nearly everyone who eats it undercooked see the same thing: hundreds of tiny, colorful little people crawling walls, climbing furniture, or marching under tablecloths, for up to three days!by
for sure. A while back a friend of mine was asking about if DMT entities were real or not, and I felt internally a little dismissive of him. But now I think it's truly an interesting area of research. What aspects are real? What aren't?... - Serpardum...

Terrence Howard maybe a crackpot, but he isn't all wrong.
Terrence Howard is mostly known as an actor, but he’s recently been interviewed by Joe Rogan for his book "1 x 1 = 2." The book is intentionally provocative and intended to critique how trusted math and science are in a civilizational context.... This is awesome. I have long thought something very similar to this is what was happening on the subtle realm*, with subtle energy. This validates the gist of the hypothesis.... - VMill68...

Reading through this, a few things really stood out to me. The part about only really being able to care about what ten people think of you is honestly one of the most practical pieces of wisdom in the whole conversation.... science is currently constrained by materialism. I'm seeing more than ever one of the biggest limitations (if not the biggest) of the Modern/Orange worldview. I'm heartened to see more and more people talking about this!...
