I didn't know there was anyone against using placebos. What find interesting is that scientists tend to be skeptical of miracles yet they study them just named differently - placebo effect.

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?... - Paulleverich...
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.... - onI just noticed how the "no-self" doctrine supports the "materialist industrial epistemological complex"byThat60sKid...
20th century physics proved - empirically? - that there is an immaterial realm of perfect forms? Was that paper peer reviewed?

We have seen the effect of these people trying to predict the future and it has almost always been wrong. You cannot predict the future with science. It’s actually only an opinion.
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.... 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.... 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!... 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.... - xander...
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.... - david...
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.... Evolution isn’t optional, so supporting and guiding it deliberately instead of leaving everything to chance and game theory seems like a better play to me.
Is Roy Bhaskar a proponent of this theory? His 3 books from 2002 are spiritual.

I'm trans-many-worlds but I was originally strongly against it. After watching an old documentary about David Deutsch, I started taking it seriously. It was the apparent simplicity of something that I had considered to be an overcomplication which I found suddenly persuasive.... - Serpardum...
Nobody can prove anything. NOTHING can be proven.
Math has proofs, science has evidence.
