Well that's just bloody stupid, it's like saying "let's just give everyone a million dollars, that'll get people spending". I just want the rich to pay their tithe

I guess I mean the technological evolution is in miss-step, with our natural perception of the world around us; I can sit here and travel without taking a journey or using my imagination. I can talk to you, via this medium, but our comunication is vague at best...

Will self inspired my ponder with his take on Psychogeography in one of his lectures, below.

Well, I guess we'll both ponder...

Is that downstream of the river I can't cross twice?

That's not exactly it, full of potential is loaded in unexpected ways, technology is much simpler...

Isn't it incredible, that through nature and technology, I can pick out the specific waves that relate directly to me, in the pool that's foaming from the waves of every single particle in the universe. I'm not sure of the point I'm making, just that it relates to every creed of thought with equanimity...

A little to late for a reset, they're past the event horizon; even Trump has been holding his breath while the barrel slips over the falls. All that's left is to hope for survival...

I have no idea why I'm getting caught up in this national fervour, I don't even like football as a spectator sport, but it's 'coming home'... 🤞🙏😇 Funny old life init. 🧐

I think he needs a spell on the side-line, just to ponder the advice he's been given; he can return refreshed and perhpas a little wiser, and hopefully with a much requested (at least by me) better question. I look forward to it...

Well, that's more of a religious perspective, scientist's tend to consider the evidence before they declare that 'we' are special; you seem to be presenting the antipode, which makes you kinda religious. I'm not special, nor am I a rock, but I can think and I can comunicate that thinking to a fellow human; the problem you have is Dr Doolittle can't tell you how special a dog is, bc you don't speak the langauge,,,

Who is this we, of which you speak?

The brain is the center for consciousness, sometimes there is no point to a centre. Yes there is, and when you understand the knowledge, the word you'd use is conclusion. No there isn't, at least not one that you've produced in terms of a convincing argument; give it a go, without using google as a pseudo-argument. I stopped reading at this point

It's not a feedback loop, it's more a filter bubble; you hear what you want to hear... 😉

I asked 'where' are you going to spend it... 😣

Where are you going to spend that coin?

“Don't for heaven's sake, be afraid of talking nonsense! But you must pay attention to your nonsense.” ― Ludwig Wittgenstein

The gaia hypothesis is just another word for god, which is just another word for 'we don't know yet'. What exactly are you asking? The world will spin on, despite what you do or think; such is the word of Dave... 😉

Google fits the bill, rather too well...

So we're back to the anthill, ant's are alive but they don't pass any of your 'tests' for intelligence, an anthill isn't alive but it does fit all of your 'tests' for intelligence. Cogito ergo sum, first principals are required to move forward in our understanding, if you can think of a better method than science to achieve that then tell us, but google isn't it.

That's kinda the point of science, the psychological why is immaterial in the pursuit of actual knowledge. That's why they hide the psyche from the results of a blind study. Your thought's are not involved... 🙄

So what are we going to eat, for energy? Indeed, but let's not delude ourselves that our salvation could be found in a backward step, that our rose coloured spec's will somehow salve the wound we've inflicted on ourselves; if we cut down all the tree's, to burn for work, where would we find the fruit to eat to live? I think we're smater than that /sarcasm.

Indeed, the perfect authoritarian thinks for everyone and everyone's happy about it, as in my previous mention of "a brave new world". But however we define that particular ism, it's always there; but sometimes it's well enough hidden that we don't want to see it, even when someone lifts up the curtain to reveal the wizard of Oz.

That was kinda my point.
