| Posted By: Kent 4 Posted On: Jun 28, 2009 Views: 1052 | concepts I think that nothing in this world actually moves but it just happens that a thing appears at a definite place. Everything just happens.Analogy - when you look at the computer screen you see that objects desplayed move but actually they do not,it's just an illusion of perception. There may exist some kind of pixels in the reality. |
| Posted By: Kent 4 Posted On: Jun 28, 2009 Views: 1051 | concepts One more hypothesis: it's obvious that what we perceive is only in our minds,thus,one exists in his/her mind only.The reality is generated by purely mind.Therefore, the question is: What is mind? What is it what perceives and says 'what is..?' What is it that says 'my opinion,my body,my point of view and..what is my mind?' I suppose that whatever I call 'my..something' is not me. And the mind is not me but I can be aware of it. So..'What is me?' - this is the most important question we can ask ourselves. |

| Posted By: Kent 4 Posted On: Jun 28, 2009 Views: 1043 | RE: concepts Keith,it's not what I mean.Imagine an arrow that flies to its aim and you shoot its flight on a video camera. The result is a film which is actually a lot of frames that is in our case instants of the time continuum.When you look at the frame (instance) you don't see any motion,it's absolutely static but when these instances are played on (no more paused) you see the motion again. Imagine you play a computer game and everything you see is the result of the processor's operating and it is running a programme which has the data which represent the game you're playing.Let's imagine it's an RTS. The whole world on the screen but does it really exist? There are only tracks of data on the disc,software and hardware but what we have as the result!The whole world for the gamer (the observer,the human). And there is no motion on the screen as we understand it,it's just pixels that are changing colour in accordance with the programme being run. So, we can say,coming back to your example,that there I am not falling down but it is the observer's mind that is 'falling down'.And the reallity is not under obligation to follow and actually be in accordance with our first impression of it. Thus,what is obvious has failed to be wrong far more often than what is not obvious.The truth doesn't show itself easily,it always hide and hides very well.It seems that the sun rotates around the Earth (that plain to see)-It doesn't.It seems that there is God (the pattern is father or leader of tribe..whatever)-It's becoming more and more doubtful.It seems that there is motion. For me it's too obvious to be true.I think there is motion in mind only.Like in the Matrix: 'It is not the spoon that bends. It is only yourself'. Let's not fall into the trap of conspicuity. |

| Posted By: Kent 4 Posted On: Jun 29, 2009 Views: 1027 | RE: concepts But what is motion? Is it scientifically explained? We can only observe it,not more.And it's right for anything.What is water,for example? H2O! So what? It's a molecule! So what? It's composed of atoms! So what? Atoms are energy? So..? Thus,water is energy! And,given that,everything ia energy in some of its forms. Great! But what of it then? Keith,maybe,once we will have all the answers...Everything is scientifically explained once: what is the Universe? We know for sure! What is the human,where does It come from and how and... What is Whatever? We finally know what it is! No more arguing, Keith! Why? We no more have arguments about if there is gravity or not! Everyone knows the answer for sure now! And supposing in the future we know all the answers! No one would create a site like this.Why? I ask myself and you,Keith: What the hell is all this MegaFuss for? I don't understand.Can I or you ever understand it? And who can? |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Jun 29, 2009 Views: 1011 | RE: RE: concepts Yes, motion can be explained, so can matter, atoms and most of the universe. Okay, we still have an awful lot to learn, but we are gradually getting there. When we finally understand how everything works, we still will not know why. We will not know why the forces are the strengths they are, only what they are. We cannot explain why the energy of a photon, or the strength of the strong or weak nuclear force are what they are and not something else. Or then again, maybe at some point we will. Maybe we will understand everything, which would mean we could change everything. Wouldn´t that be interesting? |
| Posted By: Maxim Dvoytsin Posted On: Aug 25, 2009 Views: 961 | RE: concepts Keith,it's really great if we can do anything once but there are some problems with it.It's always been true that 2-5% of people rule and these people hold power over the rest of us.It means that this omnipotent power will be theirs.If religions are a means of manipulation to make control easier then once science can accomplish anything there will be no need to use it as the control will become technology-based.I think you heard about chips and alike things.I do not think it's not possible. If the top human beings want to have power then they would want to make it as strong as possible.I recommend the books "Cassandra" and "All about Life" by a russian writer and analyst Mike Weller. To conclude,ability to do anything imposes big responsibility on humanity.I think you get the point. |
| Posted By: Keith Mayes Posted On: Aug 25, 2009 Views: 958 | RE: concepts Yes, power does require responsibility otherwise we could have an all powerful dictatorship. However, some countries have had nuclear bombs for many years and have not taken over the world, or even a single small country. The human race can behave in a responsible manner, even with nuclear power, or maybe because of it. This is not to say that he discovery of a new awesome super powerful weapon will not lead to a new world power, but we can hope. |
| Posted By: Maxim Dvoytsin Posted On: Aug 27, 2009 Views: 953 | RE: RE: concepts Keith,they have taken the world,actually. They've become smarter since the WWII: modern societies are hold over by subtle power of economic debt and political strategy manipulation.Actually,all small countries are controlled by the US,they are all dependant because of the US's "liberal help" - which is DEBT.I think yhere are only three really independant countries: The US,Russia and China.The others are merely pawns for cotrol over which the Independant Nuclear Powers fight.And the key word is - Nuclear.Bet there only one country to have the Nuclear Bomb at its disposal and the Game becomes one-sided - The Top of Globalization - TotalControl.The US is an Empire now,no proof needed,just take a look at "the global chessboard".NATO,THE UN are for making peace?BS! The US has enough resources to make heaven on Earth but what does it actually do?!It's all political!The state is for an individual?!A brand new BS! It's vice versa.If you watch for facts,Keith,you'll see.There are only 3 Big Players now, 3 Superpowers (with powerful military forces), the rest are just supers. The point is that it's not responsibility and reason that restrains a big conflict - it's actually politics (3 Nuclear Weapons,Not One),i.e. brinkmanship.But,be there only One,I doubt they would use it,it would be unreaonable - Nuclear Weapon is just a "restrainer","a big stick".I suppose,they would use some subtle weapon that doesn't even look as a weapon: like control over culture,changing genes,chips "for the sake of security" and suchlike.If there are more than one country with the same level of super power the war between them is not "hot" but "cold",it's rather subtle force than brute one.To me it's like having the breaking point in a game of chess when parties are increasing their potential little by little by means of subtle manoevres. |
