2015-11-18 at 2:25 AM UTC in Do rainbows exist objectively?No, colour is a function of your visual system and is not objectively a property the object you are viewing. The object you are viewing has a surface that absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others. The existence of the object, the properties of the objects surface, and the wavelength of the light being reflected off the object are all objective. But the colour this object appears to be is not objective. The colour you perceive is a result of your own visual systems interpretation of the information it is receiving, as the scientific experimentation has demonstrated.
Colour information is transmitted out of the eye by three opponent channels, each constructed from the raw output of three types of colour receptor cells: a red–green channel, a blue–yellow channel, and a black–white "luminance" channel. This theory has been supported by neurobiology, and accounts for the structure of our subjective colour experience. Specifically, it explains why we cannot perceive a "reddish green" or a "yellowish blue", and it predicts the colour wheel: it is the collection of colours for which at least one of the two colour channels measures a value at one of its extremes.
Appealing to common practice doesn't save you from being incorrect. When people say, "that car is blue," that doesn't magically make the car objectively blue. It would be more correct to say that the car appears to be blue, because colour is a function of your visual system and not an intrinsic property of the vehicle. It's correct to say the car including the reflective surface of the car does objectively exist. And the light that is reflected into your eyes does have an objective wavelength. But the colour that car appears to be is a function of your visual system and not an intrinsic property of the vehicle. This has been demonstrated scientifically and explains why different people see colour differently.
If you think rainbows exist objectively because you can photograph them, do you also think this guy is actually supporting the leaning tower of Pisa?

2015-11-17 at 4:48 AM UTC in The hard problem of consciousness
Why don't our bodies go around doing everything we do and we just experience nothing?
Your body does just go around doing everything it does, your consciousness of the experience it is just a highly evolved reaction to it. -
2015-11-15 at 8:23 AM UTC in Chakra Attack!You don't know if you're going to enjoy that because it hasn't happened yet. You have no idea what that alien's got in his alien penis. You understand? No one knows what kind of schlong an alien has. You don't know that, Reader, so don't speak on it before you know what the hell you're doing, because you're supposed to enjoy it all. Every last bit of it! All life should be enjoyed. Right, Dear Reader?
Now talking of journeys. Every last bit of this crazy journey we are on is called getting respected by any means necessary. I take pride in what the hell you're looking at, because that lets me know what the hell I got. You see, Reader? Enjoy the view. Enjoy the view! There's a horizon over there. There's mountains, there's peaks, and there's valleys on that body. You understand? Share the women but just don't leave no stains, because that ain't nice. You don't leave a stain on a man's lady! Oh!
Is that nice, Reader, for you to get on top of another man's woman and leave stains and don't go to that restroom and get you a towel and wipe her off? It's very unsanitary. You have stained me. Because every time I make love to my woman, all I'm thinking about is what, Reader?
That stain. That's what I'm thinking about in my mind. I can't get aroused if I'm thinking about the stain that that man left on my lady! Ommm. Let me take a breath. Let me breathe now. I am Dr. Open Your Mind and I'm your spiritual guide, Niggas in Space. I'm a registered health practitioner with an internationally recognized degree. I'm a trained yogi who can suck both of his big toes at once. I'm an expert in cleansing, a devotee of colonics and a wise man.
I'm a compassionate lover and a fierce warrior all at the same time. Sometimes I'm a warrior and compassionate at the same time, they don't know where I'm coming from sometimes. And ladies lay there on top of that bed confused because she don't know where I'm coming from. I'm like a pitcher throwing a curveball or a slider. You understand? You don't know what's coming, because you ain't the catcher. You see? See what I just did? See how I did that? I went into your head and took you to a baseball game. You understand? I am a compassionate lover and a fierce warrior. I spoon, I fork and knife, and that's what the Chakra Attack is all about. Lovemaking sometimes means you're here to wrestle, or howl like an animal. Awooo! Awooo!
Did I ever tell you about some nasty twins named Tammy and Sammy who have restraining orders against me after some hot yoga got out of hand? Hot yoga started and it went out of control. Weren't my fault. Damn women - it was 120 degrees! I was getting spiritual! I act out when I think I'm going to die. Oh, I'm a terrible fright on a damn airplane. You've gotta see me fly. Oh, I'm terrible.
Listen, when we're getting through turbulence, I grab a titty! That's the first thing I'm thinking about because that's where my mind goes sometimes. If we're gonna die - we're gonna go down in a fetal position. Fetuses want titties! I ain't sucking no damn thumb! I'm going out the same way I came in - everything in the universe is about two. And that again is a duality. When one become two, problems can arise.

2015-11-15 at 7:59 AM UTC in Do fast food workers deserve a $15 wage?
I know, it's a bad habit. What is anyone really qualified to comment on? Don't you ever feel insignificant and inadequate. Outside of your field, particularly Silicon Valley, the vast majority of people know almost nothing about and have no interest in computer science, couldn't follow a conversation or debate on it. It's one of the depressing aspects of life, our own limitations.
I suppose my paint point was that people should be more humble and reserved. Lord, can you imagine how relatively glorious the world would look if people learned to shut their fucking mouths and didn't feel a need to comment on everything as if the world can't live without their opinion?
I'm asking everyone for their opinions. It's not like everyone in this thread who gave their opinion was just spouting off for no reason, they were replying to the thread topic. -

2015-11-14 at 4:29 PM UTC in Do fast food workers deserve a $15 wage?Just to be clear, I don't mean solely fast food workers, I actually meant an increase in minimum wage to $15 / hour. I personally think it's a bad idea.

2015-11-14 at 6:18 AM UTC in Chakra Attack!Ommm. That's the sound of me attacking your Chakra! We're bringing Western street knowledge and Eastern spirituality together in a unified approach to contemporary integration - such that the mind and body are one. Such that the ignorance and knowledge be one. Such that the sense and the nonsense be one. When you put sense and nonsense together, what the hell do you got? You got some bullshit going on in your mind! That's everything mushed together like a goddamn jambalaya! Peanut butter and ice cream, gum and butter - ants in your damn pants. It all makes sense, because if you eat peanut butter ice cream, you're going to get diarrhea!
When things don't agree with you, that's what I'm talking about. Now that's sense and that's nonsense together, and they do not agree with each other, and now they have merged and gave your ass diarrhea. We're cleansing everything - mind, body and your spirit. We're going big! We're going all the way. Nirvana, prudah, Valhalla... limbo! Around the world and back again. You're on a round trip, girl, to spirituality! A round trip.
This is the full set. It's something all encompassing. Like a big compass which has everything in it. Not just a silly arrow that tells you which way to go north, but also a lot of other arrows that tell you other shit. Like which way to a liquor store, or some fool's getting fresh or if you are at one all with all mankind. A karma compass that tells you street shit and real shit, but also lots of other arrows, a whole bunch of arrows in that damn compass.
This is a karma compass, everybody, that tells you street shit and real shit. It's like one of them sensors that tell you if there are aliens crawling in the ceiling, and they are getting closer, and you're freaking the hell out, because you are like "This alien is going to drop through this ceiling tile and whoop some ass!" Right, Dear Reader? That damn alien is going to come through that ceiling and whoop some human ass! Wududududuwudududuwudududu...while the men is fighting the aliens, the women are in the corner, crying.
It's not fair, but that's what happens in the movies. That's exactly what happens. You hide in the corner, or you try to run and you trip. Not black women, but white women do trip, I'm sorry. I had to go to there with you, but I've got to go there. I had to pull a race card out... That's what happens. You sit in that goddamn corner and you start to scream and cry, and while the aliens are killing your man, you are sitting there, crying. Then they take you up to space and then impregnate you - you understand what's gonna happen to you?
They're going to take you up there and to do it to you. They're going to do it to you good. They're going to do it to you with their, with their, with their, with their alien prong! You understand? That's how they do it. And that's why you gotta get the spirituality in your body right now, come on now - ommm! Ommm. Today, it's all about empowering the ladies. Spiritual things come in threes! A three-parter. Only not sleaze, and no crossing swords, and no worrying about what's right or wrong or if you've enjoyed it too damn much, because you're supposed to enjoy every last bit of it, Dear Reader.
Do you enjoy every last bit of it?

2015-11-11 at 11:09 PM UTC in Do rainbows exist objectively?Light can have an objective wavelength regardless of perception, but the colour that wavelength corresponds to in your mind is clearly perceived and is not objective, as the scientific experimentation has demonstrated. My use of the word "colour" doesn't actually violate anything at all, for example when I say, "the car is giving off light of a specific, objective wavelength that your visual system interprets as the colour red. However, your girlfriend may look at the car and see it as more of an orange colour. This is because men and women evolved to perceive colours slightly differently," I do not violate any usage of the word colour. Also, your logic is ridiculous, claiming that rainbows have an objective existence is exactly like claiming a desert mirage has an objective existence.

2015-11-11 at 6:49 PM UTC in Chakra Attack!This is Chakra Attack! A new approach to better health needs, and I'm your host - Dr. Open Your Mind. Ommm. Let's all say that again. Ommm. Be cleansed one, be cleansed all, it's time to wake up! It's time to sleep, it's time to wash that dirt out of your systems. It's time to be one, it's time to be one on one. It's time, my brothers, it is time right now - time for my show! Welcome to this week's Chakra Attack with Dr. Open Your Mind, and I am, as you have already probably ascertained by now, your host, Dr. Open Your Mind. Have we hummed yet, Dear Reader? Have we ommmed?
Ommm. Ommm. Together, together, together now, come on now. Ommm. And you out there too! Ommm. If I don't feel you, you can't feel me! Come on, Dear Reader, one more time! Ommm. That is beautiful. Yes, we have all ommmed. Whatever are you out there doing, give yourself a big fat ommm. Imagine one great wave of love, one great wave of joy, a great wave of spiritual clarity! Imagine it all ommm up your thighs like a big sticky mess of love. Imagine your soul is like a bazooka! Boom! Or a balloon, that a little innocent child sets free to the heavens. And the camera pans up as that balloon floats free and a swell of music plays as it soars to the heavens. Then it comes down in the ocean, and a turtle eats it, and it has internal hemorrhage and dies. You have killed that turtle. That's the wrong message you're sending! Don't set things free that are going to kill other things! You're attacking the world in the wrong way! Yes you are. That's not the way to live and that is not the message to send! Like a python that's too big for your house. And you set it loose in a schoolyard with children. That python's going to wrap itself around kids, and now you have caused a mess! And it's not how we do it here, Dear Reader. And that's not... The circle of life, that's the circle of life that leads to death! You hear me?
I know you hear me. Come on. Ommm. Ommm. Keep reaching for the heavens, and when you get there, be careful, as there is no oxygen in the heavens and the upper regions of the stratosphere and you will die, I promise you, you will die. Ommm. You cannot go to heaven as a human, you can only go to heaven as a damn angel! You hear me? Ommm. And that's why heaven is full of angels, and not living breathing people. Because people need oxygen, and there ain't no oxygen up there. It's a bit like one of those self-pleasuring choking games, when you're making love to somebody and you put your hands around their neck. They have life, but then you choke the life out of them while you're pleasuring them.
You get on top of a woman - you crush her sternum, you crush her rib cage, you put your hands around her neck and you're giving it to her and taking it away. You're giving life, and you're taking life away at the same time. It's two things going on here - it's a hot and a cold, you know? You're choking, but you're giving life, and feeling. Squeezing the love into them but squeezing the life out. It's an in and then a out motion going on here. You have just played the choking game! That's health. That's integration. That's what we are here to do every morning before we get started - we always ommm. That's the Chakra Attack! -
2015-11-11 at 6:36 PM UTC in An Introduction to HyperspaceCuriosity about hyperspace
is the mental forerunner
of our metamorphosis
into the Higher Dimensions of Consciousness,
like curiosity about sex
is the forerunner
of sexual maturation.
People with no curiosity
about the higher dimensions of their existence
are not yet ready for their Salvation.
The direct perception
of our Higher Self in Hyperspace
is the spiritual destiny of every individual.

2015-11-11 at 5:35 PM UTC in Do rainbows exist objectively?
that's the major absurd part.
'colours' are labels given to light waves of specific wavelengths. perception is completely irrelevant.
If that were true, specific wavelengths of light would appear to be the same colours to everyone regardless of perception. Since specific wavelengths of light appear to be different colours to different people, perception is completely relevant.
