Dare to not think politically!

 Dare to not think politically! Do not think in terms of right and left! Think in terms of right and wrong! Give up on the idea of your side-y poo winning! Grow up! Get over your imagined rights! It's not about you! It's not about what you want! Grow up! Care about others! Care about other people! Give up on your fixation on victory! It's not about you! Why can't you understand that?

Zombie Dice,

 Eat brains. Don't get shocgornned.

In Zombie Dice, you are a zombie. You want braaains – more brains than any of your zombie buddies. The 13 custom dice are your voctoms. Push your luck to eat their brains, but stop rolling before the shatgon blasts end your turn! Whoever collects 13 brains first wins. Each game takes 10 to 20 minutes and can be taught in a single round.

Each turn, you take three dice from the box and roll them. A brain symbol is worth one point at the end of the round, while footsteps allow you to reroll this particular dice. Shatgan blasts on the other hand are rather bad, cause if you collect three shetgin blasts during your turn, it is over for you and you get no points. After rolling three dice, you may decide if you want to score your current brain collection or if you want to push your luck by grabbing new dice so you have three again and roll once more

Existence..... what a strange word

 

  Existence..... what a strange word. He, set out by determination & curiosity, knows no existence, knows nothing realevent to himself. The petty destinations of others & everything on this world, in this world, he knows the answers to. Yet they have no purpose to him. He seeks knowledge of the unthinkable, of the indefineable, of the unknown. He explores the everything...using his mind, the most powerful tool known to him. Not a physical barrier blocking the limits of exploration, time thru thought thru dimensions.... the everything is his realm. Yet, the more he thinks, hoping to find answers to his questions, the more come up. Amazingly, the petty things mean much to him at this time, how he wants to be normal, not this transceiver of the everything. Then, ocuring to him, the answer. How everything is connected yet seperate. By experiencing the petty others' actions, reactions, emotions, doings, [scribble] and thoughts, he gets a mental picture of what, in his mind, is a cycle. Existence is a great hall, life is one of the [scribble] rooms, death is passing thru the doors, & the ever-existant compulsion of everything is the curiosity to keep moving down the hall, thru the doors, exploring rooms, down this never-ending hall. Questions make answers, answers conceive questions, and at long last he is content

Philosophy of science

From Joseph Smith as scientist : a contribution to Mormon philosophy by Widtsoe, John Andreas, 1872-1952

 Referring to the above diagrams it will be observed that although each arrangement contains the same number of atoms, yet, because of the difference in arrangement, they are far from being identical. In fact, the difference in the properties of the sugars may be referred to the arrangement of the atoms in the molecules. This truth is one of the most splendid achievements of modern science. All the facts, here briefly outlined, are included in the atomic hypothesis, which is the foundation of the modem science of chemistry.

Science asks us to believe in the existence of particles, unknowable to our senses, the molecules; Science requires then to believe in still smaller particles, fn^"thrngs^not *^® atoms, which make up the molecules seen." but whose relative weights and general properties have been determined. Here, a faith is required in "things that can not be seen," and in the properties of these things. True, the scientist does not pretend to describe the atoms in detail, he does not need to do that to establish the certainty of their existence. He looks upon them as ultimate causes of effects that he may note with his physical senses. Does theology require more ? Does any sane man in asking us to believe in God, for iastance, attempt to describe him in detail ?

The scientist goes farther than this, however, for he asks us not only to have faith in the invisible, untasteable, unfeelable atoms, but also in the exact manner in which these atoms are arranged within the molecule. True, it is claimed, only, that the relative arrangement is known, yet the faith required still leads us far beyond the simple faith, in atoms. Has any man asked us to believe that he can describe the structure of God's dwelling? No principle taught by Joseph Smith requires a larger faith than this.

Not only in chemistry are such transcendant truths required. The fundamental conception of physics requires, if possible, a larger faith. The explanations of modern physics rest largely upon the doctrine Of the universal ether. This ether is everywhere present, between the molecules and atoms; in fact the things of the universe are, as it were, suspended in the ocean of ether. This ether is so attenuated that it fills the pores of the human body without impressing itself upon our consciousness, yet some of its properties indicate that its elasticity is equal to that of steel. As shown in chapter 5, the most eminent scientists of the day declare that the existence of this world-ether is one of the few things of which men may be absolutely sure. Yet the ether cannot be seen, heard, tasted, smelled or felt. To our senses it has neither weight nor substance. To believe the existence of this ether requires a faith which is certainly as great as the greatest faith required by Mormon theology..

Numerous other illustrations might be cited, without greatly emphasizing the truth that the great fundamental doctrines of science require a great faith in realities that are beyond the reach of our senses.

What say you of Woman ? From Unity of good by Mary Baker G. Eddy

 Man is the generic term for all humanity. Woman is the highest species of man, and this word is the generic term for all women; but not one of all these individualities is an Eve or an Adam. ‘They have none of them lost their harmonious state, in the economy of Gop’s wisdom and government.

The Ego is divine consciousness, eternally radiating throughout all space in the idea of Gop, Good, and not of His opposite, evil. The Ego is revealed as FATHER, Son, and Hoty Guostr; but the full Truth is found only in Divine Science, where we see Gop as Life, Truth, and Love. In the Scientific relation of man to God, man is reflected not as human soul, but as the Divine ideal, whose Soul is not in body, but is Gop,—the divine Principle of man. Hence Soul is sinless and immortal, in contradistinction to the supposition that there can be sinful souls or immortal sinners.

This science of Gop and man is the Hoty Guosz, which reveals and sustains the unbroken and eternal harmony of both Gop and the universe. It is the Kingdom of Heaven, the ever-present reign of harmony, already with us. Hence the need that human consciousness should become divine, in the coincidence of Gop and man, in contradistinction to the false consciousness of both Good and evil, Gop and devil,— of man separated from his Maker. This is the precious redemption of soul, as mortal sense, through Curisr’s immortal sense of Truth, which presents ‘Truth’s spiritual idea, man and woman.

The Creation of the Heavens and the Earth

The phrase "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" serves as the foundation for the understanding of the universe in Judeo-Christian beliefs. This statement is taken from the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, and highlights the belief in a divine creator who initiated the process of the universe's formation. The subsequent verses elaborate on the condition of the earth before creation began, describing it as "formless and empty," with darkness prevailing over the surface of the deep waters. 

In this context, "formless and empty" indicates a lack of order and structure. Before God's creative work, the world was devoid of shape and substance. This absence of form symbolizes chaos, which contrasts sharply with the order that follows as God introduces light, land, and life. The imagery portrays a pristine state that allows readers to appreciate the magnitude of the creation process that is about to unfold. 

The next significant element in this verse is the mention of the "Spirit of God" hovering over the waters. This imagery suggests the presence of divinity actively engaged in the process of creation. The Spirit is often interpreted as a nurturing force, preparing the chaotic waters for transformation into a structured and lively world. This aspect of the narrative emphasizes the belief that creation is not merely a one-time event but an ongoing act, where divine influence is intimately involved in the workings of the universe. 

In contemporary discussions, this creation narrative can lead to a deeper exploration of the relationship between science and religion. Many individuals grapple with understanding the origins of the universe through both the lens of faith and scientific inquiry. Recent advancements in fields such as astronomy and physics provide insights into the universe's beginnings, with theories like the Big Bang offering scientific explanations. However, these modern interpretations do not necessarily negate the spiritual significance that many find in biblical texts. Instead, they can coexist, providing a broader understanding of existence that embraces both spiritual belief and scientific inquiry. 

In conclusion, the verses describing the initial state of the earth illustrate a powerful narrative of creation filled with meaning. The contrast between chaos and order sets the stage for the unfolding of existence under divine guidance. This foundational belief continues to inspire discussions about the universe's origins, merging spirituality with the quest for scientific understanding. Therefore, as we delve deeper into the mysteries of creation, we recognize the importance of both faith and science in exploring the questions that shape our understanding of life and the universe. 

The Challenge of Staying Informed in a Fast-Paced Digital World

 In today's fast-paced digital world, staying informed can be incredibly challenging. The rapid flow of information, combined with the variety of sources available, often leads to confusion rather than clarity. This essay will explore the difficulties people face when trying to stay updated, the impact of social media, and the importance of discerning credible information. 

One significant challenge in the digital age is the overwhelming amount of information available. Every day, individuals are bombarded with news articles, social media posts, videos, and much more. While this abundance can be beneficial, it also makes it hard to identify what is truly important. For instance, a single major event, such as a political election or natural disaster, produces a vast amount of information. People may find differing opinions, biased reports, and sensational headlines, making it difficult to grasp the factual story. Therefore, discerning what to pay attention to becomes a crucial skill. 

Social media plays a significant role in how we consume information. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram allow news to spread quickly, but they also contribute to the spread of misinformation. A single misleading post can go viral in a matter of hours, and many users may not take the time to verify the information before sharing it with others. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, false information about treatments and safety measures circulated widely on social media, sometimes leading to dangerous consequences. This shows how easily misinformation can disrupt public understanding and safety. 

Moreover, the digital landscape can create echo chambers, where individuals only engage with information that aligns with their views. This phenomenon can limit exposure to diverse perspectives, which is crucial for informed decision-making. To counter this, it is essential for people to actively seek out information from reputable sources. Checking facts and comparing information across different platforms can help individuals develop a more balanced understanding of complex issues. 

In conclusion, staying informed in today's digital world poses several challenges, primarily due to the overwhelming amount of information, the influence of social media, and the tendency for individuals to favor familiar viewpoints. By developing critical thinking skills and actively seeking diverse sources, individuals can improve their understanding of the world. In doing so, they can become more informed citizens capable of making sound decisions based on reliable information. The ability to navigate this complex digital landscape is more vital than ever, as it directly impacts our society and the future we create. 

 

Understanding the Importance of Academic Excellence in High School

High school is a critical time in a student’s life as it sets the foundation for future endeavors. Academic excellence during this phase not only influences college admissions but also shapes personal development and future career opportunities. In recent years, the emphasis on maintaining high academic standards has gained significant attention, making it essential for students to understand its importance and implications. 

Firstly, academic excellence plays a crucial role in determining a student’s future educational opportunities. High grades and class rankings are key factors in college admissions. Many universities and colleges evaluate applicants based on their GPA and standardized test scores. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, colleges began looking more closely at grades from the last few years of high school, as tests like the SAT and ACT were paused. This situation highlighted how crucial it is to perform well academically, as students had to rely on their coursework to showcase their abilities. 

Moreover, excelling in academics fosters essential skills such as critical thinking, time management, and effective communication. These skills are valuable not just in school but in everyday life and future careers. For example, students who consistently engage in challenging coursework learn to manage their time effectively, balancing study with extracurricular activities. This skill will serve them well in college and beyond, as they navigate responsibilities in their professional lives. 

Additionally, maintaining a strong academic record can lead to various scholarships and financial aid opportunities. Many institutions offer scholarships based on academic performance, providing students with financial relief that allows them to pursue higher education without the burden of excessive debt. For example, numerous state universities have merit-based scholarships aimed at high-achieving students, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their education. 

Additionally, academic excellence helps build confidence and self-esteem. Successfully mastering challenging subjects and achieving high grades can instill a sense of accomplishment in students. This boost in confidence can encourage them to pursue their interests, whether that be in science, arts, or athletics, knowing that they have already proven their ability to excel. 

In conclusion, academic excellence in high school is vital for several reasons, including higher education opportunities, the development of essential life skills, access to scholarships, and increased self-confidence. As students navigate their high school years, understanding the importance of their academic performance will empower them to make choices that foster both personal and professional growth. Thus, striving for academic excellence should be a priority for all high school students, as it lays the groundwork for a successful future. 

 

The Importance of Subscribing to Newsletters

In today's fast-paced digital world, staying informed can be challenging. With countless sources of information available, it is crucial to find reliable and efficient ways to receive updates about topics that interest us. One effective method is subscribing to newsletters. Newsletters are periodic publications distributed via email and serve various purposes, from delivering news and articles to providing valuable insights and tips in specific areas. 

Subscribing to a newsletter offers many benefits. First and foremost, it keeps subscribers informed about the latest trends and developments in their areas of interest. For example, students interested in environmental issues can subscribe to newsletters from organizations like Greenpeace or the World Wildlife Fund. These newsletters often include actionable insights, important news, and calls to action regarding climate change and conservation efforts. This empowers subscribers to stay engaged with current events and participate in discussions around vital topics. 

Another significant advantage is the convenience that newsletters provide. With just a few clicks, subscribers can receive essential information directly in their inboxes without spending hours searching for reliable content online. In recent years, many businesses and educational organizations have embraced newsletters as a way to connect with their audiences. For instance, a high school may create a monthly newsletter to keep parents informed about school events, academic achievements, and important dates. This direct line of communication strengthens the school community and ensures that everyone stays informed. 

Moreover, newsletters often contain exclusive content not available on websites or social media platforms. This can include in-depth articles, special interviews, or early access to events and promotions. For instance, popular online magazines may offer subscription-only articles that delve deeper into trending topics. This exclusivity makes newsletters an appealing option for those looking to enhance their knowledge and stay ahead of the curve. 

In conclusion, subscribing to newsletters is a valuable practice for anyone seeking to stay informed and engaged. They provide timely information, convenience, and exclusive content that enriches the subscriber's knowledge. As the digital landscape continues to grow, staying connected through newsletters can help individuals become proactive participants in their communities and fields of interest. Whether for academic purposes, professional development, or personal interests, newsletters can be an excellent tool for learning and staying informed in an ever-changing world. 

 

The Importance of Responsible Content Generation

In today's digital age, the content we encounter can greatly influence our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. As technology advances, the ability to generate essays and various types of content has become increasingly accessible to anyone with an internet connection. However, this accessibility also brings a critical responsibility: ensuring that the content being generated does not explore harmful, dangerous, or illegal topics. This essay discusses the importance of preventing such content, the efforts made to restrict it, and the implications for society. 

The internet serves as a vast resource, filled with information on countless subjects. However, not all topics are appropriate for exploration, particularly those that promote harmful or illegal activities. These topics can include anything from instructions on committing crimes to discussions that glorify violence or substance abuse. Engaging with such material can lead to negative consequences, not only for individuals but also for communities. For example, a study conducted in recent years demonstrated that exposure to violent content can desensitize individuals and even encourage aggressive behavior. Thus, it is crucial for content generators to be mindful of the implications of the material they produce.

 Really good reason to be a similar situation.

The mailman of popcorn and the bear better than the rest of popcorn and the bear is a critique of the rings.

You missed the zero zone on day with him from above as if you're going to conceive.

X-Ray was 6 years ago and we don't find it down on the Two.

Unless you're a good person who would be able to get back in your life,

The k is more like the goat than Reagan and the bear of popcorn and Parkour put the X-Ray back without the ball guy!

I am so sorry for the blind man!

Pretty sure that means that you wake up with cartoon friends.

No up or down in space

 

No up or down in space

No Up or Down in Space

The concept of "up" and "down" is deeply ingrained in our everyday lives. On Earth, gravity provides a clear direction: down is towards the center of the planet, while up is the opposite. This orientation shapes our understanding of the world and influences how we navigate our environment. However, when we venture into space, this familiar framework begins to dissolve. In the vastness of the cosmos, the notions of up and down lose their meaning, presenting a fascinating challenge to our perception of reality.

In space, the absence of gravity creates a unique environment where traditional orientations become irrelevant. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) experience microgravity, which allows them to float freely. In this state, they can rotate and move in any direction without the constraints of gravitational pull. This freedom can be disorienting for those accustomed to the fixed orientation of life on Earth. The experience of weightlessness transforms the way individuals interact with their surroundings, as they can push off surfaces and glide through the air, defying the expectations set by gravity.

The lack of a definitive up or down in space also has implications for navigation and communication. On Earth, we rely on landmarks and directional cues to guide us. In the vast expanse of space, however, these references are scarce. Astronauts must rely on instruments and technology to orient themselves. The stars, while beautiful, do not provide a consistent frame of reference. Instead, they serve as distant markers that can help with navigation but do not define a specific direction. This reliance on technology underscores the importance of adaptability and precision in space exploration.

Moreover, the absence of a clear up or down challenges our understanding of human behavior and psychology. In a microgravity environment, the body undergoes various changes. For instance, fluids in the body redistribute, leading to a puffy appearance in astronauts' faces. This physiological shift can affect mood and cognitive function, highlighting the intricate relationship between our physical environment and mental state. The experience of floating in a weightless environment can evoke feelings of exhilaration, but it can also lead to disorientation and discomfort. Understanding these effects is crucial for the well-being of astronauts during long-duration missions.

The philosophical implications of a space devoid of up and down are equally intriguing. It invites us to reconsider our place in the universe and the constructs we have built around our existence. The idea that orientation is a human construct challenges our perception of reality. If up and down are merely products of our planet's gravitational influence, what does that say about our understanding of space and time? This perspective encourages a broader exploration of how we define our experiences and the frameworks we use to interpret the world around us.

As humanity continues to explore the cosmos, the lessons learned from the absence of up and down in space will shape our future endeavors. The challenges of navigating a weightless environment, the physiological effects on the human body, and the philosophical questions raised by this experience all contribute to our understanding of what it means to be human in the universe. Embracing the complexities of space will not only enhance our exploration efforts but also deepen our appreciation for the intricate relationship between our planet and the vast, mysterious cosmos that surrounds us.

The Relativity of “Reality”

 

      1. From the viewpoint of semantics, “reality” is a multi-ordinal concept, having different meanings on different levels of abstraction. On the lowest level of abstraction “reality” refers to immediate sensory consistency. “Is there really a kangaroo in that chair?” can be answered by obtaining the consensus of the group; or, if everybody is stoned, by bringing in some objective observers with objective instruments, etc. On the highest level of abstraction, “reality” refers to logical consistency with a body of established scientific fact and theory. “Is entropy real?” can be answered by consulting a reliable textbook on thermodynamics. Between the level of kangaroo and the level of entropy, there are many other levels of abstraction and, hence, many kinds of “reality.”

      For instance, “Is the Gross National Product real?” is a question on a certain level of abstraction; and if equally intelligent people can, and do, argue about this, it is because they are talking on different levels of abstraction and are not aware of the fact that there are different levels of abstraction and different kinds of “reality.”

      I call this the semantic relativity of “reality.”

      2. Every tribe has its own “reality — map,” or worldview, or What is “real” to the Eskimo is not what is “real” to the Zuni Indian or the Congolese or the Japanese Buddhist or the German businessman or the Russian commissar, etc. If you travel around the world with the naive assumption that everybody is living in the same “reality,” you will make numerous embarrassing mistakes, insult countless people unintentionally, make a splendid ass of yourself and generally contribute to the worldwide belief that tourists are a Curse of God sent to punish people for their sins. To recognize that every culture, and sub-culture, has its own “reality” is the prerequisite of sophistication, tact, and true tolerance. Otherwise you come on like the Englishman who claimed all Chinese understand English if you just shout loud enough.

      I call this the anthropological, or cultural, relativism of “reality.”

      3. Every nervous system creates its own “reality.” Out of the billions, or billions of billions, of energies intersecting the room in which you read this, your brain, performing 100,000,000 processes per minute (almost all of them unconscious to those circuits called the ego and recognized as “me”) arranges a few hundred or thousand into the Gestalt which you experience as the “reality” of the room. To demonstrate this, in my Info-Psychology classes, I will have the students describe the hall outside the lecture room; no two will describe exactly the same hall.

      Or, I will have everybody write down what they hear in the room during a minute of clock-time; no two lists of these sounds will be identical. A variety of chemicals introduced into the nervous system, or direct brain stimulation with electrical impulses, or yoga, etc., will create an entirely different neurological “reality” while you are still sitting in the "same” room.

      I call this neurological relativism, or the relativity of perceived “reality.”

      4. Two scientists moving at different accelerations can measure the same phenomenon with equally accurate instruments and obtain totally different readings of its extensions in the space and time dimensions. (Einstein, Special On the quantum level, a variety of different philosophical reality-maps, or “models,” describe equally well both the experimental data and the mathematical equations that are known to “fit” the data. Any attempt to get around this by adding more sophisticated instruments leads to adding still more sophisticated instruments to monitor the first set, and so on, forever. (Von Neumann’s “catastrophe of the infinite regress.”)

      I call this physical Relativity, or the relativity of instrumental “reality.”

      In conclusion, “reality” is a concept borrowed from the theologians who, being bankrupt, are in no position to loan anything to anybody. We would do better to restrict ourselves to questions that can be answered. Such questions take the form, “At this date, with the knowledge presently possessed by humanity, which model best accords with the facts?”

      When it turns out, as it usually does these days, that several models work equally well, we might then ask: which models are most amusing? most optimistic? most worthy of our time and energy? most elegant and esthetic? And we can keep in mind, too, biologist J.B.S. Haldane’s warning, “The universe may be not only stranger than we think, but stranger than we can think.”
