Say, greedy old guy, would you mind giving up the power you so prominently covet? Why, no? Well geeze.

In a way, but we are also different and our own experiences/thoughts belong to only us. As far as we know.

I have a story I want to tell where in our dreams we reconnect with the “tree of life” and this is our opportunity to split from combined consciousness or recombine with the singularity.

In this space we are searching and experiencing different realities, lifetimes, or similar lifetimes where only a single choice is made different, where time isnt exactly 1:1 and when we wake there are remnants of our experiences in these states. It will explain how death isn’t a inevibiltiy but in this search we find where we think we want to be. It’s just that it’s a vast sea and the searching never truly ends.

Makes me think about how many might chose to be a cell or more complex life.

You resorted to ad homien first you bridge dweller.

And you a pedant

Oops, did i offend you?

This one of those, “thought terminating cliches”?

Bite me

And I’m saying your definition is covered by my phrasing.

To me, the “defining feature” of a flat earther is accepting a false belief after it’s been amply demonstrated to you to be false.

This is still covered by my phrasing.

I can’t say we are the same. Not definitively. Only similar.

You’re using too strict a definition of what makes a flat earther. Flat eathers are characterized by many different things but their defining feature is their refusal accept evidence that disproves their belief. My phrasing does not disclude this interpretation.

No, the possibility still exists because the current academic community continues to exist even into the future, where a breakthrough is possible. At the very least you are being pedantic.

As long as we are talking esotericlly, I think of fixed points on a primordial map. Like the fabric of everything and where the aether concentrates celestial bodies emerge. Like the backside of a cross stitch where we only see the stitch work rather than the image.

edit:

I don’t know enough about black holes to speak credibly on the subject but another thought comes to mind.

Pretend there is a loading point for any fixed volume of space that when the gravity gets massive enough matter can collapse in on itself. That matter still exists but it now occupies space within matter.

We see it. Right now the only thing to do is damage control. Eventually it won’t be enough and climate change or some other external force will bring us to an impasse. Until then it’s damage control and spreading the word.

I would expect randomness to play a larger roll than fitness.

Some scientists, might. There is no shortage on hubris in the scientific community.

Sorry, it’s just how I phrased the question. Sorry to be a Debbie downer but I was really interested in the answer.

Thank you for this. I was just thinking about it and how it implies consciousness is shared or linked in some way.

I imagine there are many academics that won’t budge from their current beliefs even when confronted with proof.

Punching up. The best kind of punching
