What questions would you ask to challenge the status quo? Let us know in the comments below! Join the debate live at the next festival: howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/hay?KZbin&

[@AlexHillsCandles4Assange]

Why can't I comment without censorshup?

[@AlexHillsCandles4Assange]

I asked if someone would try the challenge of watching playlist on w1t$1t get$1t channel for my proposed challenging question

[@alex79suited]

Great collage of perspectives, thank you to all. Peace ✌️ 😎.

[@SpokoSpoko]

It looks like compilation of talks we saw many times already

[@ruinsphisic]

y

[@dunk1089]

it is. this is a common tactic used by this channel to have you wanting more access to talks and then being met with a paywall.

[@bretnetherton9273]

Awareness is known by awareness alone.

[@danielberkowitz3524]

You need to get Penrose and Zizek together.

[@wulphstein]

I would have thought that a constant speed of light would have/should have encouraged physicists to ask how that trick (the invariance of c) is achieved ontologically, how nature does that.

[@homewall744]

Funny how they use "theory" to mean "hypothesis" when they are the same people who keep telling us we're stupid for not understanding how these differ in science.

[@0l_pops531]

The "String Theory" Hypothesis?

[@CONNELL19511216]

You're nit picking to the nth degree

[@fujifooj875]

If i allow for a bit of wiggle room in language, mixing up theory vs hypothesis is not a big problem.

[@user-iu4wh1zs6t]

Yeah. I wonder why maga crowds spread COVID. Was it their politically driven resistance to masks and vaccines? BLM crowds took vaccines and wore masks... But, he wanted to make his own uninformed point.

[@waltershumer4211]

What?

[@homewall744]

Why does each new dimension from point (0D), to line (1D), to plane (2D), to cube (3D), to 3D throughout time (4D), then has a bunch of new dimensions that are all tiny and folded in as if anything is smaller than 0D to 1D.

[@helicalactual]

Time is not a dimension. It is merely a convention for substructures of the universe to coordinate intent. It is not itself an orthogonal direction, therefore it is not a degree of freedom. This is only a matrix convention.

[@contemplatico]

How many times are you gonna keep re-hashing these old 'clips' ... Talk about a re-run of a re-run of a re-run 😞

[@konichiwaburajirujin]

Everything is theorical

[@PuppetMasterdaath144]

it's hilarious to me how difficult to articulate probabilistic correlation reasoning is not that much worse a method to deductive reasoning in terms of theoretical analysis vs experimental empirical scrutiny trough the scientific method, in terms of a quite a few things, is it because they are afraid to be laughed at it seems very much so lol

[@alex79suited]

Well, was somewhat scripted as is the norm. Maybe I was expecting to much, but perspectives are just that,and when everyone is, it appears to be terrified to try and put forth arguments for a better understanding. By understanding, I mean look up and think that's just not correct. Is it the questions that are being asked that need to change. Why are we asking these questions, and why not those. In my opinion, those seem to be more exciting. Represent urging for more information knowledge wanting to know. So why do galacty exist? What are their purpose in the overall scheme of our observations. So my opinion is this. Blacksphere ⚫️ are born to form galacty, to gather matter to form closed systems. To remove all the material from the infinite ♾️ vacuum space, to cleanse it. And we are part of this system. I believe we're looking at the system and misunderstanding the underlying purpose. We want it to be special not because it serves a purpose but because our brains try to make sense of what we observe. But what the brains aren't doing is finding the purpose. We're too busy being in awe of the spectacle instead of realizing what it's doing and why? We need to change our thinking on the matter, we need to figure out how to use what's available for our survival in the vastness that is the infinite ♾️ vacuum space. Peace ✌️ 😎.

[@PuppetMasterdaath144]

Roger Penrose is quite odd to position against consciousness as a philosophical ponderance of importance LMFAO.
