Evidence is deceiving

Evidently, evidence is not going to work in most arguments.

Today, inclusiveness is good, non-inclusiveness is bad, and any who disagree are not human beings but filthy animals.

Not that I have anything against animals. You're not an animal hater are you? Because if you are, then you are less than human.

Labels

We like to label everything and everybody. Liberal, conservative, Muslim, Jew, young, old, black, white, red, yellow.

But at the end of the day, all there is that we are talking to is a person. Someone with their own hopes and dreams, their own personal problems that transcend any traditional guidelines or labels. Someone that has feelings and needs.

Right Mom?

August 4, 2005

On that day, a year and three weeks hence, I easily imagine myself sitting in air conditioned splendor on the fifth floor of the Flagship Hotel in Galveston. I'm wearing a blue cotton shirt. My wife is out on the patio, throwing crackers to the swooping seagulls.

The point of this mental exercise is to understand that we are NOT bound by space and time, and that our minds ARE quantum organs capable of amazing acts that science cannot begin to comprehend, such as visiting the future or other places our bodies cannot get to.

Borges and Castaneda and Vermeer and Satie all touched on these issues. Asimov hints at it and of course, Hawking lives it every day in his wheelchair. I'm still reconciling the fact of quantum mind with the phenomenon of God, which seems to be related to it.

More on this at an earlier date.
