An optimistic system of thought ("holographic nature of reality") that I am interested in, I hope others can understand the message :) I think a lot of it is true, at least metaphorically! It cheers me up too. Hope u like it.

I'm not quite sure of the relevance of Bill Hicks at the end of it though mind you.

You might be interested in looking up Nassim Haramein and his Resonance Project. That would go with the fractal universe that's kinda mentioned in the vid you just posted.

I agree with him, we should tend towards the explanation that makes the fewest unevinced assumptions.

He didn't attack this idea specifically, and demonstrated no narrow-mindedness.

This has made you, in my opinion, look like an arse.
(, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 22:20, Reply)
This is a normal post Well....
As long as any theory fits a model it is valid, however the simplest theory is not always the correct one neither is the most complex.

we also need to explore new paths to validate or invalidate other theories or the theory itself, (e.g. The steady state universe or the big bang, we would not come to the big bang theory if it were not for the steady state theory), they are also only theories. Although for the theory the beginning of space & time itself, I am inclined to say 'other' for that, ha! (well one quite close to the big bang theory, as we know that everything is moving away from a point, however that they are also accelerating away, and takes into account cosmic background radiation, inflation, black hole formation etc.) What this theory is to hopefuly also explain consciousness itself (i.e. the experience of self and world), and not self-awareness as I feel this definiton is slightly vague.

I also came across another interesting yet unpopular theory of the Electric Universe (you can find on youtube).

This is a normal post On that subject of Electric Universe
www.facebook.com/home.php#/topic.php?uid=7233042029&topic=4588

a lengthy discussion with 2 people regarding that theory. I haven't got round to looking at it yet but shall do as it sounds interesting.

Edit: Good point btw, I'm not as diplomatic as you lol! ;)
(, Wed 17 Dec 2008, 17:39, Reply)
This is a normal post thanks
I've started to read the discussion, I've only read the first guy's post so far! The first guy is suggesting the Electric universe idea by saying that only observable things should be acknowledged in scientific theory, which he has a good point that dark matter and dark energy are made up scientific ideas to fit the current model of cosmology. To digress, dark matter was "made-up" because it was found that galaxies could not stay together with gravity given the current knowledge of gravity, so to fit the current knowledge of gravity, dark matter suddenly appeared, which needs to be heavy, or a lot of it, because gravity is considered the "weak force". There are also many theories about why gravity is the "weak force" (e.g. Parallel universes etc.) But the Electric Universe theory assumes that it is not gravity, it is electromagnetism.

edit; And all of it seems valid, as long as it fits a theory using *observable* points

This is a normal post I haven't had time yet to watch or research this link
So I'm not commenting on the ideas held within.

However, the phrase "it's only a theory" really gets to me. "Theory" in a scientific context has a different meaning to "theory" in general useage, which is closer to the scientific "hypothesis".

But I think they're talking bollocks. There's a huge leap of faith between the idea that you can read images from the visual cortex (which receives input directly from the retina) and the idea that imagined or dreamed images would be found there too. Nothing in the article suggested they had any proof of that (I haven't read the original paper, but...). More likely is that both visual images and imagined images both feed into the same place in the brain that comprises actual experience (Disclaimer: I'm not talking about a person in the brain). The brain is not a film screen.

This is a normal post It is partly bollocks,
you'll have a very hard time reconstructing a complex scene, there aree simply too many possibilities *they acknowledge this in the paper(. They have managed to have very simple high contrast images constructed using voxel analysis. They use a ton of trials to do it and the amount of computation is quite mammoth, 'dream veiwing' is still, and probably alway will be, a pipe dream.

I always enjoy the news getting all imaginative with things thy don't really understand. Still, if this kind of technology is pushed, there are many possible uses for it. They already have 'brain controlled' wheelchairs for quadraplegics.

This is a normal post And actually
I'm not convinced that any 'leap of faith' is required for constructing an actual or imagined image using this technique. It would be a very interesting test to perform, and may involve different cortical areas but I can't think off hand why it should produce radically different results...

The images are extremely simple don't forget...

This is a normal post given the slow temporal resolution of fMRI
because it depends on blood flow it has a refresh rate of around 10 seconds, so the idea of being able to extract live spontaneous visual imagery its pretty unlikely at the moment. Still pretty impressive though.

This is a normal post general feedback
is that it comes across in her writing that it thinks it is wittier than is actually evident, as
much of the content wildly latches onto other topics or strands without fully exploring the main topic or reaching a point.
thus, the 'jokey' elements get washed away quickly in the text and don't really serve any purpose.
It just reads as a standard teenager's blog to be honest, but that's just my opinion only. Hope she enjoys it though, after all, that is what blogging is about. :)

This is a normal post hey, it's par for the course.
as long as she enjoys it, and gets some hits and good feedback, then good luck to her.
If she enjoys the writing, then it gives her experience in being able to learn as she goes along :)
This being said, it was my opinion only. I'm 32, and probably not the target audience for her words anyway, so it's all subjective.
I just think that it maybe needs a fair bit more content and work before finding a wider audience,
or she is sadly going to get ripped to shreds

provocative != edgy != funny (except to immature teenagers)
This is inane, offensive, badly written, poorly spelt - unless measured against the writings of other 14 year olds, then it is quite good.

There are flashes which reveal a possible talent. Some elements that show promise.

This writing should not be made public - but she needs to go through this stage. She should be writing, in her journal. In a year or so, then she should make it public.

And she should find a URL for a dictionary.

I had a stroke last week. It sucks, and everything is hard work. Including typing correctly. She has no such excuse.

Meant to be genuine feedback. Her website is not as good as you think it is. Everybody needs a champion like you.

Well done!

Now fuck off for a year.

This is a normal post My advice would be
to write about things you like and can write about enthusiastically, rather than just rants which are hard to write without coming across like a curmudgeon.

"Don't you just hate old people?" Erm... no.

If you must rant, make sure the targets are deserving ones.

This is a normal post On closer inspection...
She is not a great writer. This is partly because of her views which as everyone has already said, are slightly juvenile and less funny than she thinks.
But the main problem is her writing style. The sentences lack structure and have no rhythm making them almost unreadable. I suspect this will come with practice.
As for content... hopefully it will improve as she matures but for now I would recommend that she reads QOTW. some of the best an most genuinely funny writing anywhere!

no gaps = hard to read when I've a headache from staring at my computer screen all day at work.
may say there is "over use" of certain "things to make you sound a little cookey" and other things.
The writer and Phoebe from friends share a nievity as well as an inability to string together anything worth saying.

But good on you for trying to write stuff down. Keep at it and maybe you'll write something worth writing some day.
Thanks
