It's all good. Thanks to this video, he has a new job posing in one of those de-skinned human bodies exhibits.

I've always envisioned this as an infinite collection of deterministic model universes, like a series of differential equations that are just slightly different from the last.

So you don't have a choice as you think you do (human-centric), because the nature of our universe(s) is cause and reaction, not bound to human or sentient thought-controlled being; so the differential equations that create our universe as a topographical model, play out literally every possible cause and reaction starting and/or ending position.

You have a computer and you know math. So think upon the structure of computers and math. How does it work? What is the human body? A magical lamp that creates "special" realities, or a complex organism made up of other complex organisms that ultimately creates our experience as sentient beings?

You're going to need a process that disambiguates your brain's natural inclination to think of human experience as the ultimate experience. The existence of the smallest building blocks of our universe supersedes us, so why do your multidimensional models assume that human thought controls the multi-pathed nature of all? The model may even be such that all existences happen simultaneously and that choice is moot. (determinstic)

TLDR: Time is an illusion. My belief is that ALL possible realities have happened and are happening... for lack of a better word, NOW. Big Bang happened. Maybe all big bangs happened simultaneously. Does big bang only assume the observable universe? Think about that while you're high.

Not that this will prove anything for years to come, like I said Science and the medical industry moves SLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. When everyone could just be partaking in the most extraordinary human experience that a human can possibly have.

Wiley Online Library has a medical document titled: A critical review of reports of endogenous psychedelic N, N-dimethyltryptamines in humans: 1955–2010

Conclusion: "The answer to the question, ‘Are the tryptamine psychedelic
substances DMT, HDMT and MDMT present in the human body?’
is most likely yes. We believe that the preponderance of the mass
spectral evidence proves, to a scientific certainty, that DMT and
HDMT are indeed endogenous and can be measured in human
body fluids."

Even I was apprehensive as to whether it actually is endogenous. Now I just ask, Why, why, why? Science, baby.

At least there are some in the industry that believe it ought to be known. And for anyone that has ever ingested the grand daddy of psychedelics, of neuromodulation I am sure they were bought and sold on the idea that DMT is a huge discovery:

"Data regarding their peripheral dynamics – concentrations, circadian
variation, and metabolism – as assessed by rigorous
analytic methods applied to biological samples represent the
most accessible approach to beginning to determine their
possible role in human psychophysiology and should be
pursued."

"finally provide us an answer to the question: ‘Why do humans
produce endogenous psychedelics?’ The research thus far is
limited but there are many possibilities awaiting further
inquiry."

Obviously, there simply just is not enough data to suggest how consciousness is affected by these chemicals. Not enough funding, fear of funding, not enough profits to be made. When actually, if they figure out what this stuff is and does it would probably blast open vault door and reveal the secrets of the brain.Or we can just have the status quo and look forward to the next Iphone to cram our heads full of consumer bullshit.

Certainly a lot of people making these claims come across as crackpots, and one of the people (Price) I cited in my comment on that page certainly really was a crackpot... that said though, the population studies of Londoners before/during/after WWII rationing, the Nurses Study, and the non-crackpot analysis of Price's data all come to similar conclusions... eating too much processed food, fat, salt, sugar, and highly refined carbohydrates will essentially poison you. If you stop poisoning yourself in this way, the human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself. I don't know if stop poisoning yourself to reduce symptoms of poisoning really counts as a cure, but the end result is still healthier.

Exercise helps too, but diet is a good starting point.

Watching that vid, I did wonder what agenda the guy was pushing, but decided there was nothing really false in what he was saying and upvoted.

No voodoo involved, friend. I have learned that the human body has an amazing capacity to heal given the right environment. I did away with processed foods, made sure the bulk of my diet was plant-based, and supplemented as necessary. It's not homeopathy. It's science. My friend Richard raised a healthy family and taught me to be healthy myself. I realized that my poor health was a result of bad dietary choices and that I didn't have to be a slave to medication for the rest of my life.

If you want to see some remarkable turn-arounds, just Google some of the names I mentioned above and read what is taking place in the medical field as it pertains to diet. There is a revolution afoot.

The problem is this: it is difficult to change a lifestyle after many years of physical and mental investment. So, people don't want to do it. When I asked my Dr. if anyone ever gets off the blood pressure medication once he puts them on, he said, "No, they don't want to work that hard." And that, in a nutshell, is why our hospitals are full of people who have diet related illnesses. People are trapped in their bad decisions. They are sick from eating the stuff they eat, they go to the doctors to get medicine to suppress the symptoms so they can go back out and continue to eat the very thing that got them sick in the first place.

OK, I've said too much already. Like I said above, I don't like talking about this publicly because it descends into "well, that's anecdotal," or "where are the stats?" With a bit of research you find that the stats are there and I am just one of many examples of living proof.

Peace.

If I see someone completely naked in a public area then the possibility of a dangerous mental instability would certainly make me hesitate to put myself between them and their intended actions, especially with children nearby.

I'm considerably less concerned with the supposed horror of a child seeing what a naked human body looks like.

Personally I'd let them on the elevator, then quietly exit with the child.

Actually that is an interesting point. Perhaps the emphasis on doing something athletically impressive somewhat undermines artistic innovation. Progress might be slow(er) when your pushing the limits of the human bodies ability.

The heyllll you talkin' bout, can't flow together? The entire basis of "power moves" in breakdancing is being able to sustain rotational momentum while nearly seamlessly chaining them together. I would be of the opinion that is one form of flow.

Not trying to be a dick, but if you're really saying that nothing new has been invented in the past, I think you have to regain some perspective, and you're also missing a lot of nuance. 15 years ago people doing straight windmills would be somewhat impressive. It wasn't much more than five years ago that air tracks (0:38) became common. People were not doing that shit in the 90s. And certainly not doing it on just one elbow, while grabbing their other leg and sipping a cold Coke all at the same time.

People do moves, and then other people figure out ways to add a little something on top of those moves, and so on and so forth. I think there is definitely an artistic aspect to it, in that there's an exploration there of the limits of the human body, and dancers have taken things much further over time.

I think to some extent breakdancing has been played out, when it kind of resurged in the 2000s. It's also frequently taken out of its larger context of hip hop dance, where it's just one aspect of many different styles.

Anyway, yeah, I guess I'm kind of defensive about breakdancing.

The older I get, the more I have come to understand that porn is toxic to the human spirit. To be clear, I'm not talking about public sexuality, erotica, erotic themes in fiction or the appreciation of a nude human body. I'm talking about hardcore porn, which reduces one of the most beautiful forms of human interaction to a cheap, crude, exploitive and loveless financial transaction. I used to watch plenty of porn. Now I find it incredibly depressing.

Dubstep has the capacity to set up some fundamentally deleterious vibrations in a human body at high volumes. Been to quite a few venues in my city, varied settings, and most have one thing in common: Poor sound engineering and too much Db for the space....
The evolution of Dj's styles goes hand in hand with the kind of durgs available and popular nowdays-Less pot and hallucinogens and more pharmaceuticals and bathtub amphetamines has created an evolutionary path for the sound. The music was more creative and ethereal, beneficial to the psyche when the majority of the crowd were high on natural drugs.
The genres' turning to complete shit IMO, sort of like rap and hip-hop did (although in a much shorter amount of time) and this time I blame the drugs first, and the idiots who abuse them next-
Dubstep it seems bees morphing into an un-listenable schizm whose fans are as hollow and vapid as the creativity it takes to rub two cuts together and drop an angular, hypnotic beat in the "release all bowels" range of hearing

You know...you could just say, "I don't like it." No need to get all hipsterish on us.


Gad. I had no idea my opinions could be considered hipsterish!!.....i feel like I need to wash now

There's actually a distinction between waking up because one has to urinate and dreaming about having to urinate. While the latter can lead to the former, there's a reason why you don't wake up in order to pee and instead remain asleep and dream about urination...

While the meaning of any particular dream is far too important to take anyone else's word for, it's been my experience that such dreams about urination often have something to do with the feeling/desire to express oneself more freely, and/or to "speak one's truth," as it were, in a free and unobstructed way.

While your mileage may vary, there are frequently multiple layers of meaning to any particular dream (dream image, or dream fragment), but there are also universal themes that tend to come up (which makes sense to me, given that we're all humans in human form experiencing much of the same things, especially -- or perhaps exclusively -- when it comes to the human body).

(P.S. I've take several classes on the topic of 'dream interpretation' and some of the meaningful work has been the result of studying with this man.)

I only remember dreams of needing to pee... and we all know what that means.

The human body is an expression of the planet. It is an insanely complex web of inter-relationship. All science applies - especially hydrodynamics. We're 70% water. The planet is 70% water.
and thanks for mistaking me as a physicist. that's high praise.
