On 28 Jul, 10:43, "CRxx" wrot "'foolsrushin.'" Suppose, now, that from the oldest to the earliest, the nearest to the farthest, cave paintings were almost thematically identical. You might be driven to wonder why! It could be they were created by beings that were rather similar? And at the time they could hardly make drawings of the Eiffel tower, for instance... Just a thought! Christine! More likely they got the Eiffel tower from somewhere else! Sorry, that is a bit extreme! Nevertheless,have a look at http:// rickstrassman.com/. Again, http://www.grahamhancock.com/. Even before you go to either, though, let me make one thing clear. Whilst I beleive that Hancock and Strassman are onto something like an Eiffel tower arrived at by lots of guys who never saw Paris, or at least nothing they could have seen in the 'real' world, the crux of the matter is that entoptic phenomena, for example, seem to be universal yet with diverse commonalities that cannot be simply or easily assimilated to local conditions or 'real' experiences. I have belonged to two special interest groups, one on theory of knowledge, and the other on the history of anti-science, the only way I can put our concerns conveniently. I think, therefore, that I am not, shall we say, likely to conflate a picture of a bison with the creature itself or given only one bison, assume additional ones, though either might appear reasonable to an untutored mind. What Hancock and Strassman have to say is that, perhaps, 60,000 years ago, human beings became symbol users, with all that entails, and that this, as they would have it, happened almost overnight. They hypothesise that the consumption of certain psychtropic substances may have opened the doors to perception, as it were, and support their claims by means of the virtually universal occurrence of, say, cave paintings whose theme, content and character are of such a nature that they can in no way be ascribed entirely to local experience or transmission of their content between or across cultures. It is for you to decide whether they have a claim on your attention. Personally, I find that they make out a strong and fascinating case! -- 'foolsrushin'. Strassman's site is of course: http://www.rickstrassman.com/. |

"'foolsrushin.'" I find that they make out a strong and fascinating case! Personally. I think it is worth some contemplation. But basically, it is so uncontrollable, it is mind boggling. It can only ever become a theory. I do no think the idea very likely the possible connection between the emergence of abstractions and the use of psychotropic substances. It would mean psychotropic drugs would have been important in development in language. The Hanconck stuff. Well we all know how seriously flawd it has been already proven to be. Fantasy. ANd his website seems to aim at that group. Stonehenge and the other standing stones, and stone circles, have been a flash through Ancient European history. Much faster than migration. It is probably more related to the emergence of trade and the start of the bronze age. But as you may have inferred from my words. I did not read the URLs. Christine! |

"George Hammond" [Hammond] Wrong jerko... who told you that, your grandmother? The microtubule system inside the cells (cf. neurons) remains functioning up to 30 minutes AFTER the neuronal EEG "flatlines". Hameroff cites as evidence the fact that brain remains translucent (light conducting) up to 30 minutes after flatline when it suddenly goes "opaque". Just like the hair and nails continue to grow after death, the microtubule system continues to function for up to half an hour too. Nails and hair do not actually grow after death. Of course cells do function after death. That even continues longish. It is just they start to function differently... This is PLENTLY of time to "download" a lifetime-precomputed "life after death dream" which contains its own internal clock and is actually experience subjectively as taking, say, 5 years in "Heaven". So 30minutes or thirty milliseconds would not differ? [Hammond] Edison was an uneducated fool and superstitious shadetree garage mechanic. You know that as well as I do. Tipler is an internationally known Phd physicist and professor of Mathematical Physics at Tulane and a devout Catholic who has had many direct in person discussions about all this with Sir Roger Penrose. Penrose doesn't waste his time talking to neer-do-wells! So. Let me get this straight. This Penrose character is someone who you could talk to to be taken for more than an educated fool and superstitious shadetree? But is that really relevant? [Hammond] This isn't a "pop-psychology" discussion. Do you have any degrees in Physics for chrissakes? What the **** has Physics got to do with it? You certainly haven't mentioned any thing regulated by the laws of physics, except explained opacity in a rather amateuristic fashion. Besides, people would have know before now if brains were translucent when alive. Or even during the short period only the microtubules function. [foolsrushin] What the hell is a 'a zero growth deficit person', ****wit! You can [Hammond] A "zero growth deficit person" is GOD IN THE FLESH jerko. Here's a picture of it for you: http://geocities.com/scientific_proo...files/img2.gif That would actually mean that the dutch are the nation who are most godlike! Interestingly enough, I do have a suspicion that does not heavily correlate to your ideas... You can read all about it he http://geocities.com/scientific_proo...ammond5s1.html Did you have some problems getting this published? Christine! |

"George Hammond" [Hammond] Get that greased Coke bottle out of your rectum dufus it'll strech it out a mile wide. You haven't got any degrees in Physics jerko, get off this thread. I have never heard of tunneling extensive as you describe. He was kind enough to attempt to explain your peculiar infotainment to me. I really needed that. So I, for one, am glad with the explanation offered. When you publish a controversial theory, whether you are right ot wrong, you should be aware that allthough some controversial theories tend to become maintream, as a result of the brilliance of the idea in the first place. This, however, does not happen to the majority of controversial theories. Most possibly controversial theories, never even see the light, because people won't get them published. Nowadays with the internet, no theory goes unpublished. That does not mean they are more prone to enter mainstream thought. I guess you must be aware of this principle by now. And I applaud you for standing firm, as you do. But you should not discredit someone whithout a degree in physics, because the person does not have a degree in physics. Why not? Well. Your theory does not comply with the teachings required of people to get a degree in physics. You go on and publish theories that are against the normal realm of theories concerning physics, and then rebuke someone because he isn't schooled in a manner that is likely to oppose you. Being 3 cm above the average length of women in Holland, I feel like a godess, after your explanation. However, I do plant my feet usually slightly on the ground in stead of above it. Christine! |
