I frequently wonder on what our present understanding has wrong. Bodily humors were a thing, flat Earth was/is a thing, it was a widespread belief that harm would come to a human travelling over 25mph.
Probability deals with what we currently know, so of course it could change. It’s not that I have no imagination, and I can see where it would be an appealing idea. But based on what we know now, I have no statistical backing to believe that other intelligent life (as we know it) exists
Having said that, it’s an interesting shift in perspective to imagine this: what if true intelligent life was in the form of tiny beings found in the microcosmos and WE were just giant pesky invaders that they were perpetually launching systematic attacks on?
Agreed. I frequently thought that they might be sulfur-based and in gaseous forms.
I wasn't looking to attack you or anything, but enjoy some actual conversation.
I'm now pondering what drives the force of gravity. What would life be like without friction?
Oh well THAT is just the earth moving upward at 9.8 m/s2 😏
What's upward?
Right? 😅

Today I learned that theee most painful surgery a human can have is one to their heel.
And having just stepped my heel down on a tiny rock in my garage, I can confirm that it’s probably definitely true3 -

My friend had heel surgery cause he broke/cracked it falling off a ladder. He fell like straight down. Ugh. He has so many pins in his heel. It was so gross. Back to normal now though!2 -

My sister’s boyfriend had the same thing happen! He stepped off a ladder wrong and shattered it. His recovery took forever0 -
My brain feels all tangled and fried; now my feet hurt too. That's what I get for trying to keep up with everybody's posts.
All I've learned about space comes from UncleMac's Spaceman Spiff, from Calvin and Hobbes and EJ's Rocket Man.

I once got a shot in my heel to numb it so I could have a piece of glass removed...
The shot was by far the most painful thing I have ever experienced... Way more than my abdominal hernia1 -

Dang, I hope I don't achieve meeting the shape-shifting dog monster whos mouth I shoved my head into to while trapped in a lucid world where my legs are partially paralyzed and a bunch of rowdy hooligans with sinister intent have invaded my 100th story apartment, and my only "save" is when the black cat jumps on my back and digs its claws into me...(the shiny slick dog monster then retreats into a paper surface)...but the hooligans are still there preventing me from crawling to the door, and when the cat jumps off my back, they just have to tear the paper that the dog-demon retreated to to summon it again.5 -

Im often a lucid, vivid dreamer
When I try to sleep in for the past while - they get like 'stressful' somehow - always lucid to some extent tho, so are engaging too
Had a mfp people one last week - was a tragic, strange train-wreck1 -

Pho literally revives me. Every time I die I spoon some in my mouth with my last bit of strength and I live to see another day.3

Speaking of dreams, yikes. I often don't remember mine but a nightmare woke me up about 11:30 last night and I couldn't go back to sleep for the longest time. I was in a group of women who were being raped and he'd picked 2 of us every night, while violently abusing us or even murdering us if we weren't being who he wanted us to be.
It was way out there and I have no clue where it came from. But the feelings leftover from it felt real. Glad my dogs sleep with me.
Now, onto happier thoughts.

Have we become less happy in this age of technology?
No, just more distracted
Is love simply physical desire or something more?
Love can absolutely exist w/o desire. You must not have kids
What is true friendship?
Knowing that person always has your back and no matter how long its been since you talked, its always easy when you finally do again
Why do we strive for perfection if it is not attainable?
Not all of us do. But those that strive for it are looking for purpose, nothing wrong with that.
Can life be meaningful without friends?
Mine is
Does an ideal government exist?
Ideal? Absolutely. Perfect? No. (see previous perfection answer)
Does free will exist, or is every action predetermined?
I don't think there is enough room here to really discuss the philosophies involved
Are we a minuscule part of intelligent life in the universe?
Yes.
Does belief make God exist?
Yes
Are we the biggest threat to humanity?
Yes, but potentially also the greatest salvation.
Do parallel universes exist?
Yes.
Will racism cease to exist?
We can only hope, but I'm doubtful.
Will the world be a better place if caste and religion cease to exist?
Well those are two very different things, but yes to both. As long as spiritually remains.
Do we love ourselves more in the virtual world and less in the real world?
Only if we are doing it right.
Will the world come to an end by human hands?
No, but that doesn't mean we won't *kitten* it up enough to make it uninhabitable.
Is true beauty subjective or objective?
Subjective, duh.
If all the currencies in the world did not have monetary value, would our world be a much better place?
I started to answer this and it got too long so short answer is, no.
Why do we throw away food when we know people are dying of hunger?
Because world hunger is not affected by waste as much as distribution.
