@Darthpug I'm confused. I'm not against the players, and never said anything about that. Yes, the NFL has the right to fire them, but they'd be in big trouble if they did.

Does this mean that if I experience deep awareness and appreciation for the mysteries of existence it is only the firing of neurons, and that my experience is invalid? If certain neurons fire while I am looking at a work of art, does that prove there’s no such thing as art. If certain neurons fire...

Tomfoolery33 replies on Jun 6, 2018:

I used to believe those things. But I've come to see that though things can be reduced to firing neurons, that doesn't mean they have any less meaning. Meaning is a human creation, and it is something that we use to function as we do. Technically, money is just a piece of paper, or digits in a computer somewhere, or a piece of metal that we can't eat, but we all know what it is and does, and that fabric of agreement gives it its worth. It's the same with other meanings. Love means something to me other than the firing of neurons, and it does to a great number of other people as well. Therefore it is not the "mere" firing of neurons. #Ellatynemouth

What do you mean about mythologizing everything? That does sound kind of fun.

It's hard to explain. Some things seemed to have a bigger deeper meaning than just plain old everyday reality. My life was on some sort of meaningful path, or so I felt. I'd have to think about it some more before I could explain it without rambling on forever.

A, I applaud your use of gauzy. B. I’ve had a very similar experience. Romantic is the best word for it, indeed... when I was younger, I was a romantic; I lived a charmed existence. I had a purpose I didn’t know, but there was something enchanted about living. Then, I suffered a head injury and...

Thank you. And I'm sorry you had to go through that. And I hope that you are happy with where you are now. I'm getting there.

My world view has altered significantly over the last number of years and recent events resulting from which have further caused great disillusionment as to who am I. It appears that our lives and beings change on our journey and that we cannot step into the same river twice. Oh to be a person for...

I wouldn't say they are lucky, because they don't grow. Thanks for your comment, and I hope your journey is a good one.

Or the Byrds.

@KKGator Yeah, Petty was a big Byrds fan, and they covered some of their songs. That's funny about Roger McGuinn saying that about American Girl! I had heard that one.

My next band's name.

Mofferatu comments on Jun 4, 2018:

"Adopt a highway" is an interesting name for a band :P I kid. SSDC with a lightning bolt in the middle continuing the ACDC tradition? Or replace the lightning bolt with something more relevant. :D

Something more relevant. A Viagra pill? I'll have to think about it.

A kinder, gentler, Florida Man.

Johnsalterego comments on Jun 4, 2018:

Florida Man needs a theme song... sung to the tune of "Spider Pig" perhaps?

Giving up our illusions can be fucking hard. When something that deep and fundamental changes it's easy to flail about, lose our emotional grip and fall into despair. I know I have. There may even be some grief about the loss of your old self. With you in the struggle.

DaveMania comments on Jun 4, 2018:

Strange, isn't it — how some of us seem to go through enormous shifts in our personalities and methods, and others seems pretty constant throughout their lives? Personally, I'm so much more content to have lost all that credulous, supernatural thinking that hung around me in my twenties (I can...
