Baddogma's Other Meta Cafe- Polite Discussions About Scientific Mysticism and General Weirdness

You don't actually ever listen, but you keep asking like there is some magic words or something.

You believe in physical real reality.
There is no such thing as chance just thats a way to think about the world with limited data. If you knew every particles behavior you could tell the future 1000 years from now. There is no such thing as free will so why the hell are you trying to WILL anything at all? God doesnt roll dice and knew your name 14 billion years ago.. "But I want a different outcome!"

Tough... umm.. luck.

Me Ill just lay in bed and hope that gets me to work



lol jk.






Oh and elon musk was finally on Joe Rogan.
I only saw the first 30 minutes.

a reply to: Reverbs

I don't actually believe if I ask about things. I wonder about the free will is a myth theory. I wonder about a lot of things but my questions don't equal my opinion about it.

I heard they sm8ked together Elon and Joe...

a reply to: Peeple

Nah.. Elon puffed once like it was a cigar.. no inhale.. but maybe he got a lil buzz, was drinking whiskey.. ill watch it later..

I saw enough Elon is like me..
In the way that hes crossed that jaded line..
I wonder if he goes crazy to stay sane next.

You didnt wonder is free will real you stated the opposite. But thats fine im really only jabbing at you to see what youre about in the end anyway

a reply to: Reverbs

Hard to tell if he cracks.
But yea I feel for him.
He has managed to stay in the tortured soul who loves humanity phase, he can't go on like that forever though. Maybe he can, but..

Or in other words. Hes trying to be useful at a fast enough scale to outrun our own short sidedness, whereas somone like me already thinks its gone too far.. my hope is more placed in some new variable because I don't think its long until society is too strained to survive (100 years type timeframe)

I guess people would look bad at me for what I decided in comparison. Enjoy what I can and love as much as I can. Affect consciousness around me like as if humanity isnt going to get home from the hospital..

Of course we do share the same ultimate idea..

Love is the answer.

In my heart it won't happen without a lot of pain first.
He's trying to hold on to naivete through invention.
His intelligence is too much for any other way to hold hope besides changing things through technology. Sort of like "never surrender!" Piling sandbags wondering if he can produce enough sandbags before that storm on the horizon comes.. I see the flood. Im not going to try and use a spoon to bail my leaky boat.

I sort of accepted death, and now I can live life.
One of us is more selfish than the other. Me.
And I believe in magic or something (bad analogy.. magic) anyway.. thats my hope..

He cant turn his brain off, and I killed mine.
My ears perked up especially when he talked about hiding his own "way of thinking" as a child when he realized he wasnt normal. I wonder if he was depressed as a kid. He is now.
I only had two wishes.. either alien spaceship come take me away (and the fantasy was imagined in great detail I gained their loyalty by ending up between to waring factions) or just let me die already.. similar age for both of us..

I guess I only came out of that when I started experiencing the more hardcore woo.
And if I look at me I wonder because all the motivation is there... could I have survived my depression with something that was outside humanities path.. made up or otherwise.
What I mean is Im sceptical of my own motives in what I think about reality.



But I did find it comforting we came to the same conclusion..

"As corny as it sounds, love is the answer."


I would recommend the watch as a look into the mind and heart of elon musk, and how he sees humanity, the world.. Anything beyond that is scant in detail. No mars talk.. Not any space x.. hardly much tesla..

And now I remember.

Again.






And ya know..

a reply to: Reverbs

Not to be a deby downer or anything haha.
Time to go back to work round two today.
Me and one other cook proved we can handle any number of tickets, and thats on 2 days 2 hours sleep. The servers thought it was slower for saturday, but the numbers tell another story and no yelling in the kitchen today.. these people will all learn you cannot complain around reverbs at work. But you will have all the help you need if you only communicate. People can be surprised when I get stern. Gotta have that in the toolbox if you are super nice. Love through stern and playful, i love both ways and the kitchen is more connected each day. Reminds me of the only thing i miss about the army.



More issues with people in my life cant sleep when im being empathetic... she just asked me what day it was. I want to stay and comfort her, hospital stay now home.

I gave myself two days off next week.. it will be a grand vacation of sleep and woo thoughts. Maybe ill play a little with the matrix again. And I can use my empath skills rather than grinding my gears in all directions.

Anyways love you guys!

a reply to: Reverbs


I know you're gonna rock the kitchen today, like you always do.



Go Reverbs!

a reply to: Mousygretchen

Always.

I found out a sauce tasted like sea water..
Its a 2 day sauce to make, involving cow bones..

Im not always there... but i had to make one up. If they read the menu carefully theyed know it was not the same, but I made a great damn sauce in 3 minutes.. cheated with beef base and bourbon.

Haha.
Sh1ts fun.

a reply to: Reverbs


I PMED you.

a reply to: Reverbs

Why are we not having a new 2012 hype? I mean the red heifer has been born the war in Syria is about to go global, it's just a matter of time until reports of chemical attacks come out, there are multiple prophesies about to come true, people are more divided and hateful than ever is one of them.
Even the fact that not more people yelling doom seems one of the last signs, not?

And just for the record I believe in free will as long as I'm no slave to my urges, many are just that. That's why I am the queen of the universe. Say I am or I'll be forever po-ed.

What are you going to do to prepare for Hurricane Florence?

Nothing..
I grew up in hurricanes and ice storms.
Im not on the coast so yea i have food and water for 2 weeks if I need it, otherwise enjoy the show.
Reverbses dont need electricity to survive.

a reply to: Reverbs


Damn that's hardcore.

a reply to: Mousygretchen

I dont think its hardcore ..

For other people id say have lots of batteries and flashlights and weather radio, candles and books.. youre going to want books if the power is out..
If you have a fire place or outside fire pit and metal cooking pots theres really not much else you need besides clean water (my mom used to fill up any bottles jugs we had with water in advance) other people confused we had water with no water bottles. Eat all the food in your freezer/fridge leading up to a possible power outage. Once power is gone already know whats in there so u can open the door quickly and close it again.. people forget about chocolate bars and peanut butter on apples while reading a great book by candle light. Lots of great food doesnt need power to stay good.


I havnt checked its current path but last i did it was coming right at me haha. I love wind and rain.

Now if I was on the coast? Im evacuating.. no question. Where Im at ill probably lose power, and probably not have to go to work, and yea thats about it, hungry people will be fed by churches and food banks.

a reply to: Reverbs


I got some water bottles and a big jar of peanuts and some chips from Walmart this afternoon. Also some cakes. I have a lot of leftover food that I can still eat. im not so much worried about the rain as I am the wind. I understand these sustained winds could shatter my windows. oh and carrots. got those too. also got about 2/5ths of a bottle of Christian Brothers Brandy but that will probably be gone before im dealing with this storm.

a reply to: Reverbs


When you say the coast, how close to the Ocean are you talking about?

a reply to: Mousygretchen

The people "on the coast" will be under mandatory evacuation. So if youre in that sort of danger youll know. I doubt ill have winds over 85mph.


Do you have a basement?

Oh and i went to the store earlier to grab some beer..
There is not one drop of water left in there already. Theres hardly any canned goods either.

We have like what 2-3 days left till we get hit.

a reply to: Reverbs


No, I don't. But I have a second floor, thankfully.

a reply to: Reverbs


Did you get a 6 pack?

a reply to: Mousygretchen

I got a couple 40s..
Its raining like crazy outside..
So I checked and there is rain in the forecast every single day for the next 9 days?

Yea... there will be flooding here.

Its been so rainy the last few months..
And on top of the already saturated ground this hurricane could drop another foot or two feet of rain..

And wet ground doesnt hold treeroots in very well either.
