You're thinking if infinite gods are in a collective reality.  We each control our own reality which makes your alternation of conscious very relevant to your reality.

Firstly your definition of reality is wrong. The key to understanding the meaning of the word reality is the first bit 'real'. Reality is the domain of the real, if it does not exist in reality then it does not exist. There is only one reality, things either exists or they do not, even if they exist in a different dimension.

If we did all have a unique version of reality then we would disagree on objective facts, which we don't.

Parity fast approaching, but will it hold once the gox ask wall is gone?

Awesome.  So you understand how a universal consciousness exists somewhere too, right?

Yes. In that universe. Not in ours.
Universe means one.  You are admitting god existing in the universe but not your reality.

There would be infinitely many gods, which one to pray to?

/edit
You would also need more than an infinite universe to allow for infinite possibility.
The total sum of infinitely many gods is zero.
There's infinite gods indeed.  Which one to pray to?  Yourself seems like the logical answer.  Or to the singular, all encompassing, god.

For every god that wants the sky to be a darker blue, there is a god that wants it lighter. The total effect of your infinitely many gods is zero. So whether you are right or not it has absolutely no relevance to anything.

Publicity = BTC up

It was already announced the day they took SR down. The internet can't be silenced I guess. Kill one and two will rise. SR isn't my cup of tea either.

In Greek mythology, the Hydra was an ancient serpent-like water monster, that possessed many heads, and for each head cut off it grew two more.

It could be arbitrage between gox and bitstamp to bring them back into alignment. The gap is closing, now only $3-ish difference.
268  Economy / Speculation / Re: 10k Sell wall just now on: November 06, 2013, 07:45:52 PM
and the remaining 6500 he is now showing at 266.9.

All he wants is cashing out at this level. I guess no move upwards until he is done


Good game. The trickier part will be to get the USD out of MtGox

He wont get it out of MtGox, so new wall under 260, cool

It's my understanding that the gox order-book shows all currencies, so they may not be trading to USD, but some other currency that he can withdraw.

cloud mining

Not sure of the definition for this one;

Quote
'Cloud Mining'
A scheme which allows people to buy shares in hashing power without having to deal with any hardware.

Is that correct?

Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?

Thank you bears for some cheap coins. I need it more than you.
Hope you are now happy with your fiat. Now go and buy extra Big Mac with your "profit".


I certainly hope those Big Macs taste good. I was amused today to wake up and find the price at the exact place it was when I woke up yesterday. Would have been fun to try to sell high and buy low on this one but I seriously needed that sleep. I the meantime this is a healthy correction.

yeah. and i got to sleep exactly 2h before the drop Cheesy


 Cheesy hehe, me too, missed the whole thing  Roll Eyes

Just as we humans are stuck in our cycle of self consumption and destruction.

This negative attitude towards humanity is just a reflection of how you feel about yourself. If you try to be a better person you may find that you are once again able to cope with reality.

The fact that your a Christian is an accident of your birth. If you were born in Tibet you'd be a Buddhist.

The recent movement feels like foothills to me, but I always get these things wrong. So I say no.

Well, this guy apparently got something right for once. Cheesy

 Cheesy I guess if you make enough predictions, some will come true.

The "being" is with you always, and if you quiet your mind down you'll experience it more fully.  It's non-empirical because it isn't anything you observe, and to that extent it isn't a thing.

Are you talking about the fundamental nature or essence of ones self? e.g I felt it was wrong in the core of my being?

Placing arbitrary phenomena in the context of absolute truth is more difficult than placing arbitrary phenomena in the context of a specific discipline.

To my mind the absolute truth 'I think therefore I am' is easier to arrive at than the disciplined truths of thinking from a neurological perspective.

For example, we might see a white guy rob a black guy on the street and a social worker may explain it in the context of "oppression" or "social injustice" while a neuroscientist might explain it in the context of "neurochemicals and electrical signals."  The problem with this is that all of a sudden you have concepts being overextended and being applied to things where they have no business being applied to (e.g. I'm dating my girlfriend because of "neurochemicals and electrical signals"...or maybe it's because I just fucking want to).

Are you suggesting that looking at things from a different perspective will blind you to the truth? I would suggest the opposite is true.

People get away with being careless when theorizing from these disciplines specifically because the overextension of these concepts often goes ignored, undetected, or unchallenged.

And your theories are impervious to this I suppose?

You said, instead of focusing on arbitrary phenomena, we should focus instead on the ever-present 'being' of existence. But what is the ever-present 'being' of existence and how is it distinct from any other arbitrary phenomena?

I didn't say that there are only two "things" in the Universe, I'm saying that when it comes to isolated, conditional phenomena, that phenomena is arbitrary to the extent that there are many, perhaps even an infinite number of possible and valid explanations for that phenomena depending upon the context you place it in.

Yes, this is obvious. If all phenomena had only one possible explanation then there would be no need for science.

Placing arbitrary phenomena in the context of absolute truth is more difficult, but it's fun because that's when you get to resolve paradoxes.

Placing arbitrary phenomena in the context of absolute truth is more difficult than what? What are you comparing this too?
