This guy has some interesting things to say about consciousness. He is interested in just what it is, and where in the body it happens.(or outside?). You were likely told that it is happens in your connected neurons. But consider an amoeba. It is only one cell, yet it hunts, avoids discomfort, thinks. But where?  His research hints at a quantum effect underlying consciousness and perhaps even life itself. 

http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/

This has been confirmed in Dr. Newtons hypnotheraphy sessions. Apparently when we are spirits outside material dimensions, we can create and control life through a quantum effect.

There is an energy that guides all life, if you will. Some subjects describe the science in detail.

Can these posts be automatically deleted considering a page of "I put you on ignore." isn't notable or relevant content?

On another note, if you feel such an overwhelming desire to put me or somebody else on ignore, please do it and shut up about it. We don't need to hear about it. It's great that you have a tool to cope with your intolerance for other people but we really don't care about your victory over your mental obstacle.

Just ignore them! Cheesy

I like to challenge myself not to. Love, kindness, tolerance and all that shit.

What I was getting at in my previous posts is that the real "you" exists outside of physical reality.  It is very incoherent to assume that very uniform process of biological development would produce this singularity.

I'll take one more shot at it from a bit different angle:
Let's look at the moment in time 2 hours before your birth.
At this point the Universe has only been producing *not-yous* and the Earth is populated completely by *not-yous*. Now what is it in the physical/biological process that warrants that in 2 hours *you* will be produced for the first time? Why doesn't the Universe just continue producing *not-yous* as it always has done. Can you imagine the body you call yours will be born in 2 hours and it will be just another *not-you* with its own consciousness and life path.

So it's not the body that makes you *you*, it's something completely different and it doesn't need to survive the death because it existed before you were born. Does this makes sense?


Yes, it's exactly my point but in more modern, concrete terms.

The banking system in the UK is more controlled than most places. You're dealing in direct Rothschild territory. The Bank of England is bought out to the core. They have been since ground zero. Barclays and friends are close friends with J.P. Morgan who seem to be butthurt about Bitcoin according to a recent video about money laundering. Which proved to be just a giant shit on Bitcoin.

Basically, the banks there want nothing to do with Bitcoin. Good luck.

Gary Johnson has a better shot.

but Ron won (disputed) the primary in Maine
Sure but voters will see a candidate on the ballot as a better shot and not as wasteful, considering write-in is accepted in very few states.

but people thinking "I'm going to vote for a guy with a chance" I wouldn't guess would have Gary Johnson coming to mind LOL Smiley

Your points good. it would be fantastic. maybe ron will get 5% in Maine and be cool (taking from gary though Tongue )

I don't mind people taking from Gary. Some want more of a purist like Ron Paul. Gary is very utilitarian and nearly amoral but his actions still tend to lean libertarian. Either one won't win but each of them getting significant votes sends a message.

The only message you are sending is GOP is divided and weak. Ron Paul lost the nomination, end of story. His stance on some issues are batshit insane/scary, for example he opposes separation of church and state, he is just not electable. Every vote for Ron Paul is a wasted vote, it would have went to Romney, since Paul supporters would definitely not vote Hussein.

Ron Paul won against Obama in national polls during the primaries. He was more electable than Romney.

Anyways, so what if Ron Paul has religious preferences in law? It's better than the wasteful foreign spending that would be done under Romney.

As for a weak and divided GOP, I would like to see GOP destroyed and replaced with a more libertarian party.

A pure Libertarian party would never be elected nationally in the current political atmosphere. GOP is the best vehicle for libertarians to affect policy.


Not really considering the GOP passes laws identical to the Democrats. Obamacare was originally written by Mitt Romney under another name.

Ron Paul's son has endorsed Romney, just vote Romney. Voting Ron Paul will just take votes away from Romney, and give victory to Hussein.

Romney is as shit-tastic as Obama. You might as well vote for whoever you want.

What are you saying? are you saying Romney agrees with Hussein on every issue? that's just stupid, Romney has a lot more in common with Paul, than Hussein does, that's a fact. Why would I not vote Romney if I like Paul.

Name one thing Romney has in common with Ron Paul.

There are several I can think of at top of my head, they are both pro-life, against further gun control, against legalizing gay marriage. There are probably more.

Romney banned AR-15s in Massachusetts. Romney is historically worse than Obama when it comes to guns.

As for social issues, I don't care for them. Ron Paul said he would leave marriage issues to the individual states. He never said he was for making gay marriage illegal.

Romney is for making gay marriage illegal and I don't like that because it's a waste of time, money and law.

Again, most of us libertarians are against social laws. We just want efficient government that Romney and Obama cannot provide.

Sorry. Sad
433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I predict we will soon be pricing everything in satoshis. on: October 02, 2012, 02:07:56 PM
Here's a clearer proposition, verbally:

1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin

.1 Bitcoins = 10 million satoshis

.01 Bitcoins = 1 million satoshis

.001 Bitcoins = 100,000 satoshis

.0001 Bitcoins = 10,000 satoshis

.00001 Bitcoins = 1,000 satoshis

.000001 Bitcoins = 100 satoshis

.0000001 Bitcoins = 10 satoshis

.00000001 Bitcoins = 1 satoshi

The theory is that there is a layer under your primal self that is pure subconscious thought. I believe this is quantified through hypnotherapy and analysis of human thought. (Parts of the brain light up according to certain activities).

Ergo, if your brain were to function without a supposed "soul", your human mind would function as a purely primal, emotional and survival-driven animal. Opposed to this is the spiritual, imaginative and other creative opponents that make the "soul".

Anyways, I know nothing in the end. I would commit suicide just to get an answer but that would be fruitless after I reincarnate with amnesia once again.
Okay, but so what? My molecules survive my death, and some of those molecules may wind up in later organisms just as some of my molecules were previously part of some earlier organisms. So maybe there is some kind of "layer" survives my death just as the molecules that compose me do. Since all the evidence suggests that it has no significant effects on anything whatsoever, who cares? I don't make a big deal about which molecules in my finger were one parts of Thomas Edison's nose. Since there's no continuity of conscious memory (or anything else significant), it's not more "me" than a rat that shared a few of my molecules.

If you believe the case studies of various hypnotherapists, there is a continuity of consciousness. It's just there is amnesia when you are born and you only remember your entire timeline of consciousness after death. Supposedly there are lifeforms that can remember certain parts of their previous lives.

Anyways, what do you think of reincarnation? Is it just too good to be true?
I have never understood what it is that is being claimed. Frankly, it seems incoherent to me. What is that is supposedly being reincarnated? In what sense are these other beings supposed to be "me"?

Most of the explanations speak of a "soul" or "spirit" that is reincarnated. To the extent I can understand what this means (which, frankly, is hardly at all), it seems clearly impossible since we know that the brain is the physical implementation of identity and the brain is destroyed during death. It's like arguing that you can burn a rug and somehow the pattern can continue in another rug. (The idea of a pattern without a rug seems incomprehensible. A thought without any brain to think it contradicts everything we know about how the brain works.)

Yes, there were certainly people and animals that lived before me and people and animals that will live after me. But if there is some sense in which some of them can "also be me", I don't even understand what sense that is.

Yes because relationships in all facets of life are discriminatory. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Think about it: If people weren't preferential towards each other, what would love be in the end? What would friendship be?

It would be meaningless. Self-expression wouldn't be possible considering everyone would have to be perceived identically and growth would be non-existent.

Although cents might be pretty useful too (it is money!), and one cent = one million satoshi.
Why is cent (centi) useful and not milli or mikro? Because you have heard of it before?

Now you're starting to understand how humans work. There is a good reason why Americans still hate the metric system.

Maybe The Bitcoin Foundation can make it part of their organisation certification process to include rules/guidelines of granting/denying/verifying access to accounts and online wallets. Then you could use that to "force" MtGox to give you access to what is rightfully yours.

I see what you did there.
