Everything that we see taste touch hear smell feel think experience is nothing but electrical impulses interpited by our brain. for example we were taught from birth to recognize certain objects say like a cup. everyone knows what a cup is, when you want a drink you get a cup you know that when you see a cup it will be there and when you reach out your hand you were taught that if you touch the cup you will feel mass there by confirming the exsistence of the cup. but when it is nothing more but electrical impulses being interpeted by your brain is the cup there? take a schizophrenic for example, schizophrenic's hear and see things that we do not ,what they see or hear is nothing but impulses interpeded by the brain so is what they hear real? some would say no. what about what they see? some delusions are so real they can hold conversations with people who we do not see, what would happen if they tried to touch one of their delusions? would their brain feel, hum electrical impulses

Life is boring, and dull, things are very predictable, people are selfish and just take advantage of you when then can. Money is people's only motivation, and good friends/people I believe are too hard to find. It seems as though death takes this away, and the absence is better than what is on the table right now, so why do people fear death, isnt our goal peace and ignorance anyways? Im an able human being, I have my full health and am thankful for the everything I have, just wondering if anyone has though this way. Thanks for reading!

whenever you pass by...people would always turn and look at you with admiration or lust...you always get second glances.
even people in vehicles would look at you like as if they've seen a ghost or something. People seem star strucked when they see you...and you're not even a star!?

Thoughts we've earned CANNOT be stolen. It is only one virtual ID which got lost ...by intention, or by accident. We can always make another start. So long as FRIENDS hold hands for the common cause of FRIENDSHIP and SHARING,..nothing else does matter - not even stalkers, nor trolls.

Let’s get beyond a ‘hot’ looking babe description and focus on the more complete package. What traits do you look for and what do you see that defines how you perceive a woman as beautiful?

(And yes, this question belongs in philosophy. And religion and art and literature and dating and art. And it probably belongs in politics, too.)

So, what is a beautiful woman to you?

And it you've already got such a woman in your life right now you don't need the silly ten points anyway for best answer. You've already got your prize. So be completely honest here.

...joins the organization.

"Big systems work the same way an electronic device works, tolerances for variances are factored into the design. So even if some of the components deviate from the absolute value, the device as a whole still functions. If every component in your TV set was expected to retain its original manufactured value, and was designed under that assumption, it would last about about an hour, depending on the ambient room temperature"

In my experience, I have observed that the top quality art or skill, or even article, is not the most popular.... does it mean that popular appeal is an independent quality?..... or is it that a majority of us is incapable of discerning quality beyond a merely acceptable or workable level?

I would say yes. All mobile animals have minds. They need to have a certain level of consiouness to moved through space and time and survive. I cant see how an animal can be "Aware" of it`s surroundings and not have a concious mind.

I noticed that if you break it up into words, it makes Con-Science.
Well... Enough with wordplay. If you know,
What is it?
Is it somebody?
When is it? (IE, When does it start working,)
Why do we have it?
How does it work?
Where could it be?
I was reading this book on my couch and had this foreign thought, "What is making me aware of what I'm doing? What is the thing that controls my brain? What is the thing controlling the stem cells, cells in my body, my cerebral cortex, and if it's zero point energy, what controls that?" It was odd, but it came to me out of nowhere.
