OK, you're omnipotent, but with a catch: you have to do things one at a time. What is the first thing you would do and why?

Not in my reality, you're not. In my reality you're a 700# albino kangaroo wrestler who designs emoticons in your spare time. It makes you more interesting for me.

Try to control your emoticons, THANOS!

Perfection is a highly unstable state. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle says your perfection would eventually diminish, then you would be left with imperfect omnipotence. I keep thinking if I won $50 million in the lottery I would use the money for good instead of just being another...

I think I see what olde drunk is getting at here. Set up the Schrödinger's Cat experiment. If loseyourname peeks in the window at the cat after 15 minutes, lyn will see either a 100 % dead cat or a 100% live cat. If olde drunk doesn't peek, the probabilities remain 50/50 for the cat. Same...

I distrust sound the most. I have been fooled many times by a sound I've heard for which my mind then ascribed an explanation which turned out to be false. My smell and taste were compromised by cigarettes and alcohol, and even after more than ten years of abstinence they are my weakest...

When we let others do our thinking for us, our reality is manipulated. This usually happens when someone says something profound that touches us, and we make the mistake of thinking EVERYTHING that person says must be profound. When we make the mistake of believing something is SACRED, our...

They should make a smiley for that!

If everybody thought alike, nobody would need ME! :cry: (love these new smileys!)

Anytime I interact with other people, reality is more concrete. It is when my mind is left to its own devices that I ever begin to question reality. Shared experience with others is a way of determining that reality exists (if everybody did everything I expected them to, I would start...

So Helen Keller didn't experience consciousness? Or only 3/5 of consciousness?

By your own definition, if consciousness is connected to space, then it would be connected to space in all dimensions. If time=space, then time would also be connected to consciousness. Do you believe consciousness is unrelated to the thought process? Interesting. I will think about...

I recently read an account by cartoonist Grant Morrison which seemed appropriate for this thread. While in the Far East, he had apparently been abducted, not by aliens, but by higher dimensional creatures. His initial "ride" was much as previosly described in this thread, being lifted from the...

This brings up something that's always bothered me (which means it may be common knowledge I just haven't run across). We have multiple spatial dimensions, three of which we can all sense with our current biological forms, and at least one more we can kinda sort of imagine, and six more that...

First of all, I haven't read the book. It's on my list to read but I'll probably get the video from the library before I get time for the book. I can only help (?) with the first part of your question To wrap my mind around something for which I have no reference, I picture the curled up...
