Yea Randall I am lucky to be able to see both sides of the story. My deceased wife's family were totally republican however I was lucky I came from parents who were socialist and so that did matter. I don't believe in organised religion and I...
Thanks for sharing your perspective and how it relates to your history in Ireland. Being a Murphy, I was once approached by a recruiter for a wing of the IRA here in Canada. I told them that the reason we came here is to get away from all that...
Look I have already told Gene that you and him should kiss and make up. I don't agree with everything Gene says and I don't agree with a lot of what you say. However I like you both and living in Northern Ireland I come from a time when you had...
Hey thanks — it's purely by coincidence, and I don't expect it to last, but who knows?
If whoever has the say would be more sympathetic toward the First Amendment here, as well as more aligned with the protection of individual civil liberties —...
Here are some conspiracy songs on an old thread.

My knowledge of "modern" hip hop is nil I stopped listening after Tupac and Biggy were killed, I...
I've been reviewing this topic in my personal life lately, and because I'd started posting here again, I thought the vid might become a topic of interest. Nothing more than that. Here's another one . . . Learn about DARVO
I think you meant to say "so we can't talk vaccines here" . . . because I've already been through that with Gene at length — and his position was made clear to me in no uncertain terms. His answer was "No", and given his condition, I don't feel...
Like I said — we can't discuss it here unless we both want to be censored. All I'll say now is that I started off with the same assumption as you, but I have this annoying habit of trying really hard to look at the evidence and reasoning for the...
Neil Young used to be one of the greats — until . . .

Now I listen to this
And we can't discuss that here either — which is...
Watched it — same comments as above apply.
Always glad to discuss certain specifics in greater detail.
It seems to me that some of Hoffman's ideas are much the same as sci-fi, e.g. BSG type FTL.
Who came up with them first, I don't know.
Be careful how to interpret that. It's pretty obvious that Earth had to come into existence and evolve humans before any of them could experience consciousness. It's not like billions of people's consciousnesses have been floating around out...
He also believes that the brain does not create consciousness but consciousness created the brain. He also believes that none of what we conceive is real and that reality is to much for our brains to comprehend.
Sure — Also run a search for Donald Hoffman in the forum search.
There's lots of discussion about his ideas.
Ultimately his theory isn't an explanation of consciousness as much as it is a model of some of its facets, particularly how visual...
This is a reply to an old post ( I know ), but the findings in the paper make absolute sense ( to me ). We already know that memory patterns shift from place to place in the brain — from short-term to long-term memory, and over that period of...
Hi Soupie. It's been quite a while since we've been active in this thread. In reviewing the last posts in it I came across your post linked above quoting a paper by Graziano. I think the following paper presents an advance in understanding the...
