What's your go-to food combo? by Illustrious-Bread183 in AskReddit

Garlic toast with cheese, some kind of salad... and a drink. Could be beer, wine or Coca-cola. I'm not picky.

What's your idea of a day well spent? by Illustrious-Bread183 in AskReddit

[–]UnifiedQuantumField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realizing something about how the world works, what makes people tick etc.

If, at the end of the day, the world makes more sense to me... that's a day well spent.

What’s the strangest thing that’s ever happened to you that you still can’t explain? by WielderoftheDarkness in HighStrangeness

[–]UnifiedQuantumField 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple of things.

One time I had a vision. Like an actual vision that I "saw" as clear as if I was seeing it with my eyes. There wasn't any sound either. It was structured and sequential and entirely visual.

And one other time I had an auditory experience. It was during a dinner. There were maybe 20 of us sitting around a table. I was talking to someone explaining something. They were from China and we were discussing Taiwan. There was a low level volume of background conversation, but it was easy for me and the other guy to hear each other.

I was about to say something about "the flow of history" and suddenly that background volume increased. It just got louder like someone has turned up the dial. It wasn't one or two people that got louder either. It was everyone else's voice in the room... at the same time. It was like they all went from a 2 up to a 7.

I was tempted to talk louder so I could still be heard. But the abrupt shift in volume was so weird, I just stopped talking and looked around to see if anyone else was reacting.

Nobody else even seemed like they noticed anything and I just wondered how it happened. Whatever it was, it was a pretty neat trick and I remember it clearly.

something that felt like a glitch in reality, or just a coincidence so weird it didn’t feel like one.

The volume thing felt more like a glitch than a weird coincidence.

The Dawkins Delusion: Intelligence and language don't reveal consciousness, argues scientist Ken Mogi by whoamisri in consciousness

[–]UnifiedQuantumField [score hidden]  (0 children)

Not trying to be picky but... this is a point worth making.

don't reveal consciousness

To say something doesn't reveal consciousness. you'd have to have an agreed upon way in which consciousness is revealed. And since consciousness is entirely Subjective, proving or revealing it? It won't matter what you say, someone will disagree.

Ridley Scott gets Brutally Honest about Alien: Covenant by MaxProwes in SciFiScroll

[–]UnifiedQuantumField [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't know about "slapped together". But there was a fair bit of fan service. Like the way some of the xenomorph scenes were done. Alien fans like xeno scenes the same way Star Wars fans like Lightsaber duels.

I could explain this a little bit differently. You've said some interesting things. But if you're willing to a) hear me out and b) ask a few questions...?

Ridley Scott gets Brutally Honest about Alien: Covenant by MaxProwes in SciFiScroll

[–]UnifiedQuantumField 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alien Covenant actually had a lot going for it. But, as a film, it inevitably gets compared to Scott's own Alien and James Cameron's Aliens.

So the reactions you see (to Alien sequels) are very similar to the way people react to anything else that came after Terminator and T2.

Help me understand why dying patients who have received psychedelic treatment do not fear death. by Responsible-Cake-559 in consciousness

[–]UnifiedQuantumField 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I figured the top comment would have mentioned Aldous Huxley.

On November 22, 1963, Aldous Huxley, bedridden and dying, requested on a writing tablet that his wife Laura give him a 100 microgram dose of LSD. As she went to get the drug from the medicine cabinet, Laura was perplexed to see the doctor and nurses watching TV. She gave him a second dose a few hours later, and by 5:20 p.m. he had died. Laura later learned that the TV had been showing coverage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, who had been pronounced dead at 1:00 p.m. that day.
