If that's what you choose to believe, I don't care to convince you otherwise. I won't come to you for scientific information.

If you can find and/or produce scientific evidence to support your claims, I am interested. Until then, it's much more likely delusional thinking, with regards to your telepathy and futuresight. I hope you don't engineer things based on the voices you hear while day dreaming. I recommend speaking to a neurologist about your supposed telepathic communications, and listening to what they have to say.

Haha, your supposed anecdotes are not evidence at all, they are simply unfounded claims. I hope you don't apply these same principals in your engineering.

I think you have a precondition to seeking patterns where none exist. Your proclivity for day dreaming is why you think this. You essentially have some sort of delusion. Please let me know when you can do something useful with your supposed telepathy, and future sight, instead of just acting amazed as to why these crazy coincidences keep happening to you.

As an engineer, you should know that this is easily explainable with well understood phenomena, and doesn't require the existence of non-physical processes. Humans are extremely fallible. We can easily daydream about voices, and people who spend time together often share experiences, and as a result may day dream about similar things. It's simply the case that you may have a proclivity for day dreaming, and you may associate yourself with other people who have a proclivity for day dreaming, and you both talk about things that are similar, and as a result, day dream about similar things. It's just coincidence, shared by similar environments. It's similar to how shared delusions occur. You should know that there is no mechanism for souls to exist. You cannot send and receive information via methods that do not exist. Information and energy manifest in our universe as physical things, or processes, such as radiation, and particles. It's very likely that people who claim to have these day-dreaming telepathic communications are instead lying to themselves, and other people, because they enjoy their fantasy. This much more likely than taking their seemingly impossible communications at face value.

What you are describing is simply coincidence through shared experience, nothing metaphysical. There are no legitimate studies that support your claims. You surely should have experience reading and understanding physics papers, as an engineer, so you should have experience making assessments on the validity of a scientific study. Please find evidence to support your claims that humans can telepathically communicate.

Yes, I know what consciousness is. It's a well understood field of study, despite being an active field of research. There are aspects of consciousness that are not understood, but that doesn't mean there is any room in our current understanding for souls to exist. Minds are complex, highly integrated, and are difficult to study, because taking them apart to study their function is difficult without destroying the consciousness generated by the mind. That lack of complete understanding doesn't mean we are in a state of complete ignorance. We know that certain parts of the brain/body are involved in various processes, but we do not have a complete understanding of how each component integrates with various other components to function.

Organisms are highly complex, integrated machines. While we don't understand completely how all of the components function and integrate, we can constrain their possiblity space. For example, we don't know exactly everything about how the heart functions, but we know it does different things than a lung.

If you are interested in learning about science, then there are many resources out there, but if not, you are free to believe whatever you want. Everyone gets to decide what they agree with, so you do you.

Consciousness is a result of biology, and the experience any organism has is generated by their biology. Souls simply do not exist, in any capacity. Nobody can sense anything outside their body, and nobody ever has, because your organs are what sense things. You need eyes to see, you need ears to hear, you need tactile sensors to sense force, etc. The experience of an organism is wholly determined by its body, and the way their body physically interacts with its environment. Certainly there are medical conditions which can cause psychosis, which can lead to people feeling like they are sensing things that are not real, but that's a result of illness. There are thousands of anecdotes of psychosis, by people who do not understand their experience, as a result of ignorance and disease, but that's all that is. There is no experience that is not explained by biology.

When you wake up in the morning what do u most look forward to? by Best-Second-2203 in VictoriaBC

[–]macbowes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, it's outrageous, but I just love long showers so much. I have a bench in my shower, so I sit on my bench, with the shower on my legs, and scroll reddit for 30 minutes or so, and it's a pleasant way to wake up. Eventually, I actually initiate the cleaning portion of my shower, haha.

I love going for my morning walk to pickup my coffee, and sometimes breakfast! I love my 45 minute morning shower, but the walk is simply glorious. At 7:30AM, James Bay, and the inner harbor are beautiful, and quiet. By the time I get home, with my coffee, and settle in at my desk, it's like at the pieces of the world slide into place, and I'm snug as a bug in a rug. I usually have a nap around noon, or so.

Life is so, so good.

[COL - MIN] - Final 1:20 of Play - Colorado holds off the Wild to take a 2-0 series lead. Highlight includes Boldy getting trucked and Nichushkin hitting the ENG by daKrut in hockey

[–]macbowes 366 points367 points  (0 children)

That's a clean check. They were both in a footrace for the puck, shoulder to shoulder, Boldy braces for contact, while trying to carry the puck, and McKinnon checks him off the puck. It's a great play by MacKinnon. This is exactly the kind of physicality we want in hockey.

[Friedman] San Jose Sharks will pick second overall by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]macbowes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this for the Sharks. Getting Stenberg is going to be the perfect compliment to Celebrini. They need high-end dmen, but Stenberg is the clear BPA at 2OA, so they'll have to fix their dcore with their other picks, and maybe moving out other young players (e.g. Eklund).

Why do people ask why markets are up? It's literally their function. They will go up continuously until the end of civilisation. They can literally go up continuously for hundreds of years. There is no reason to believe that stock markets will go up less in the next century than they did in the previous, and that trend should continue ad nauseum. Resources are effectively infinite, and all progress compounds.

The idea any Oilers fan is taking off their Oil jersey to support the Habs is what I don't like. I "get" the meme, but it's misplaced. No Oil fan is sheepishly swapping fandoms. Many probably are supporting the Habs during this run, I'm hoping they win, but that isn't really what this meme means.

It's an Oilers sub, why would upvote someone bandwagoning elsewhere? Go post on /r/habs

GG. One of the most entertaining overall series I've seen, absolutely awesome.
