    We know from NDE-ers who ar not attached to their body anymore that they can confirm that they experience 'everything at once'. They experience no time.

    A brain death event within us mostly hairless apes, a lack of cortical oxygen leading to the sensation of dissociative consciousness, is not the same thing as "no time" or "time doesn't exist."

    There is no time

    Time is just another word for length. Length clearly exists as a formal context of study, even though you cannot touch or smell it. Your philosophical position here is self-evidently absurd to the point of laughable. 

  2. People supporting Trump just need to direct all funding to Kennedy (and/or Jill Stein and/or Cornell West). Much higher ROI than giving Trump more money for lawyer fees and gold sneakers.

    Every vote those also-rans siphon off at the polls is another dagger reducing Bidens chances of helping us avoid the arrival of a fascist self-serving Justice department weaponizing grievance machine that pushes the global balance of power even more toward the violent autocrats.

    Is this how you felt when I first started posting here with my head up my own ass? I'm sorry I judged you lol

    Subtle Euclidean geometry humor is all that was intended ✌️

    will this change anything in terms of the rules of conflict?

    If you mean the rules about doing anything at all and whatever it takes to “win,” then no.

    What will change is Putin using his recently rigged election like a trophy while simultaneously aligning with powers which are rapidly becoming hegemonies (I’m also unconvinced these recent terrorist events within country weren’t just Reichstag fire type events designed to further consolidate power and make more fierce and forceful crackdowns on dissenters more palatable.

    And the US election is sure to swing the pendulum of the world one way or the other in a short few months.

    will attempt to justify anything and do anything that they think will help their position

    Yes. You were much more concise, and IMO correct.

    where is mind in the brain", the answer would be everywhere as it the cognitive environment within the brain created by our brain's responses to life experience.

    Your last several responses have been excellent and I agree with most of this last one too, but might pushback slightly on this final bit I’ve quoted since we see so much involvement from the spine and nervous system more broadly, plus the gut biome, for example.

    While Luc is a bit too extreme on the panpsychism front IMO, I do think limiting ourselves to just the brain when exploring this topic is also a bit too conservative and restrictive to provide us all with a full and accurate picture. 

    Either way, thanks for the contributions and clarity they’ve added. It’s been much needed and appreciated. ✌️

  6. IF this is true, then two things come to mind:

    1) It will dilute the dyes in the fabric and thus cause the colors to fade / become more muddy / less bright and not as saturated and clear. 

    2) Hydrogen is corrosive (at least it is with metals) and water molecules have two hydrogens so it might weaken and fray the fabric if submerged for extended periods of time. 

    I defer to our respected chemist members though

  7. Consider scheduling pre planned rest days where you purposely don’t walk, you seek out some civilization, find an inn, take a sudsy shower, have some hot food and cold beer, put your feet up and restore yourself… especially before difficult legs of the journey. You’ll find you make fast friends in these circumstances and sometimes they’re the most memorable parts
