Willow_Wisp comments on Jan 7, 2021:
I was impressed when I found out the way the three rivers in India comes together is described very different in the Vedas then what we see now, but satellite photos have imaged ancient fossilized river beds that match the Vedas, the geology of the area reveal the rivers were last active over 40 thousand years ago. We also have the event of changing from a Lunar time base to a seasonal time base. Or just straight up mythological exaggeration like Methuselah living almost a thousand years. But divide by twelve and he lived about 89 years, a miracle by Bronze Age standards. The story possibly handed down and evolved over hundreds if not thousands of years, like the Veda description of the sacred Hindu rivers.

I think digital technology is progressing toward sci-fi level 3D imaging. Like Harrison Fords long dead wife in the second Blade Runner and Arnold in a couple of terminator movies. All young and strong while the actors have aged till they’re looking like avocados. I’d love to see a digital borg Picard circa 1987 confront the Buddies Buds in the hologram room, he went in and never came out. Someone’s going to have to mop that up someday. Peggy’s replicating Bon bons ..... Wait, it could be a star trek episode, the crew is assimilated by the Borg, an assimilation error makes the hologram Bundies sentient, but retain their personalities, but their logic improves enough in short order to save the ship and crew from the Borg.... I consumed a large quantity of THC earlier.

I was looking at Google News and through them was led to an article about the Schrodenger equation ...
Willow_Wisp comments on Jan 7, 2021:
The schrodinger's equation presents an either-or conundrum for how a Christian God interacts with his universe. Both options suggest that a Christian God is not in the design. The wave function of a particle has a name: the Schrodinger's equation. There are two relevant interpretations of the math of the equation called the Copenhagen and the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI). Like Avengers not like Back to the future. The Copenhagen interpretation says that particles exist in a variety of states up until the point that they are interacted with. Once that happens the wave collapses to a single state. What is important about this is that it is 100% perfectly random and nondeterministic. Hence a God who would want to interact with his universe would not be able to and could only take a hands off approach and would have no knowledge of future events, both very contrary to biblical canon. With this randomness, it is an effective zero chance that things that have very small probability amplitude compounded together would occur as well. At that point it would be a better proof of MWI if these would have occurred. Therefore we must consider either that this is true and Christianity is false or this is false and MWI is true. The MWI is much more interesting when it comes to philosophy. MWI says that for every instant that a particle interacts with another, the universe splits into multiple universes with each universe holding a different possibility from the outcome of the interaction. It pretty much can be visualized as branching paths of a tree where each branch is how the particle decides to interact. So therefore there is a universe in MWI for every physically possible event. I believed that a God could interact with the branches, taking a ride down whichever one would give him the outcome he wanted. It seems fine, all the bases feel covered because there has to be a branch that all biblical events happen (hell, even the strange ones like Lot's wife turning to salt). However, there is a caveat in that for those branches to exist there would have to be an infinite number of branches without these events. This goes against the character of God because it means that he only saved a minuscule portion of timelines and doomed all those in which Jesus failed. Even if one looks past this, the probability that any human would have been on God's branch would be reduced to infinitesimally small the instant after the resurrection multiplied by every instant after that. So we might as well not be saved. Fundamentally, Schrodinger's equation disproves God by removing the ideas that God stands for in interaction and salvation. It presents an either or scenario that leaves God out. Once I had pieced these together I could say without a shadow of a doubt ...

Apparently if you're white and break into the Capital while carrying weapons you won't get much resistance, but if you're black and minding your own business while drinking a soda you could get choked out if not shot. The difference has become so bad that every time there's an innocent victim of racist police brutality it feels like they just hurt a family member of mine. Honestly I think the police should have gone to the Capital with automatic weapons and mowed down everyone that wasn't supposed to be there. This is why I don't work in law enforcement.

There's more than one invisible enemy, communism is one, but communism has mostly failed. The other is fascism. If you're a fascist you have zero room to be proud of not being a communist. The point is to be neither. Sadly most fascist in America are too ignorant to know fascism isn't a fashion statement, even if the Germans had a smoking fashion sense, it's not the uniform it's the love of authority and loyalty to an idiot that doesn't deserve your respect that are the true indicators.

The thing that bugs me is after Congress had their big scare suddenly everyone is sucking each other off and singing hymns to bipartisanship. There’s a cabal of Trump enablers suddenly trying to play nice, Mitch, Lindsey, every single person that had the opportunity to kick Trumps orange mentally ill ass out but didn’t back when he was impeached. We can’t forget their horrible judgment, leaders require good judgment so these fools are NOT leaders!

What did I say?
Willow_Wisp comments on Jan 6, 2021:
Yep, Trump spoke to Pence and found out Pence wouldn't crime as ordered, so while speaking to the anti-American fascist gathering of low life MAGA maggots he urged them to march on the Capital. If it were anyone else that would be inciting a riot. Trump should be charged and arrested now.

My secret fantasy is to hang around until the fascism machine is shoved out of the way so people can have hope instead of fantasy, then tell my daughters that we defeated the two horrors of the twentieth century, communism and fascism with the fall of the GOP. I did all I could, the rest is up to you guys. Good luck, but beware both are undead and will rise again from the shadows if you’re not vigilant. Then enter my eternal rest comforted by the defeat of the metaphorical Gog and Magog.

Willow_Wisp comments on Jan 5, 2021:
I remember thinking "Dianetics" was some kind of self help book in the early 80's, and they advertised it to death on TV, so I picked up a copy at the book store, (We had book stores in those days.) I read half way through the preface when he said that people that wore glasses only had to because they had the "wrong" attitude. I was still near sighted then, I wouldn't get Lasik for another 20 years, so I said "Motherfucker" quietly to myself and unceremoniously dropped the book of ultra stupidity into the trash can. Everything that I've heard about Scientology since then has validated that I did the right thing, even though I didn't know Scientology and "Dianetics" were part of the same mental illness for a couple of years after that.

Perdue Calls It 'Disgusting' That Georgia Official Recorded Call With Trump | HuffPost
Willow_Wisp comments on Jan 5, 2021:
I don't understand States where recording phone calls you're part of is illegal. I see no reason to inform the jackass that would be embarrassed to have the conversation public either. However I live in California, California is an all-party consent state. Also referred to as dual-party consent, all-party consent states require all parties in a conversation to give explicit consent before the conversation in recorded. In section 632.7 of the Penal code, California recording law states that recording conversations where either party is on a cell phone or cordless phone without a warning is illegal. We need this fixed. What if someone calls and offers you $5 million to kill someone, and that if you don't do it they have someone else that will do it, but it'll cost them more? They want to kill a distant relative of yours but they don't know you're related. It would make a lot more sense in the court room to have the recording rather then having to do the entire "He said She said" routine. I'm originally from Alabama, Alabama law requires the consent of at least one party to legally record an in-person or telephone conversation. Illegal recording is misdemeanor. In other words, as long as it's your phone call you can record it. It's the only legal thing I know of where Alabama makes more sense then California, otherwise everything else from the fascist state makes no sense. Georgia is like Alabama. I get the sense that Trump doesn't understand theres huge differences in law from one state to another, good thing too.
By all means!
Willow_Wisp comments on Jan 5, 2021:
You're thinking of Progressives, Corporate democrats are just moderate Republicans. When these the lying fascist bastards claim Socialist are trying to take over they aren't talking about Socialist at all, they're referring to Progressives, the last great advocates of Liberal Democracy. Stupidly equivocating Socialism to Communism is an adolescent rhetorical trick akin to pretending atheist worship Satan, just pure stupidity.

Willow_Wisp comments on Jan 5, 2021:
Why do people need us in a Christian box? I have more Christ like attributes than any Christians I know of. That's because I'm a humanitarian, and a feminist (if you aren't a feminist you aren't a humanitarian). But all the Christianity I was exposed to says "We're the chosen ones" and everyone else is basically spiritually dead. This from the deadest people I've ever had to endure in my life. Until Christianity embraces humanitarian virtues, it's just another "better than" cult. I want nothing to do with it.

Couldn’t care less about the druthers of the GOP. They’re outnumbered anyway and have been since the beginning. Even Reagan was like Trump elected by a minority of conservatives who only won because most people don’t bother to vote. Just shocked Reagan didn’t turn out as bad or worse than Trump as I’m sure he would have been had he not had to deal with his senility. The GOP decided hiring an actor was so good for them in the 80’s they hired Trump who promptly fucked them in the ass. The GOP and Trump deserve each other, but the American people deserve better.

I remember when Reagan would say “trickle down” and all the stupid red necks in Alabama would orgasm, back at the beginning of the astonishing reign of Republican stupidity that still thinks it self viable despite blatant incompetence and profound voter ignorance. It’s time for Republicans to go the way of the Wigs. Maybe an actual conservative might have something to say instead of lying politicians that hide behind the label “conservative” to promote religion over law, which is illegal by the Constitution because it violates the separation of Church and State. That’s all the RNC has been about, the destruction of our secular government. Rico should have put the entire mob of Republicans in fucking prison forty years ago.

Dedicated to the dumb shitery of the organized crime organization called the Republican Party and their allies the corporate Democrats. The only people talking about making systemic changes to actually fix anything are the Progressives. Sadly people choose leaders because they “like” them, and people just love assholes and dumb shits. Grow up morons, you need to look at policy. I have several people all for “Trump” or “Sanders” because they like them, that’s like saying in Star Wars you’re for Ray and the fucking Emperor.

But the people that like this kind of negativity succeeded in keeping me in my place until late in life. I do not think it’s fair that I had to wait so long, it’s not a phase, it’s about me and if your experience was different fine. Why try so hard to fuck up my happiness?

Four years aboard ship and no one ever found it, or the other 64 bolts which could hold a pound of exotic herb. Drill out the ends and put a screen between the pieces and it was a two chamber pipe, easy to drop overboard if needed.

There’s always someone going to far, but this one sounds like “The war on Christmas!” Which only exist in the minds of conservatives. Or how everyone not wearing a MAGA hat wants to abolish the police, just take their gear and send them home! Are you insane? On case by case basis any kid that wants puberty blockers should be allowed to use them, because secondary sexual characteristics cost a literal fortune and an eternity to deal with. People like JKR disagree with puberty blockers for any children, and people of that ilk have claimed all kinds of horrible stuff about what trans and trans activist want and are asking for. So it’s one of two things, a nutcase loudmouth trans activist that doesn’t represent me, or an extended straw man of people that hate trans. I’ll even give it a misunderstanding scenario like a trans woman says, “If I had been on puberty blockers I wouldn’t look like a linebacker, but I couldn’t be that honest back then, to bad all kids aren’t on puberty blockers until they know who they want to be.” Hardly an advocation for ALL kids to be put on puberty blockers whether they want to or not. That’s as unfair as not allowing actual trans children to use puberty blockers when most know exactly what they want, considering the time, expense, and the psychological effects denying them blockers or HRT causes. HRT isn’t allowed until most secondary sexual characteristics are mostly developed. In most cases blockers wouldn’t even be necessary if they were allowed to go ahead with HRT. The Churches are dead set against that though. Normal people fucking scare me.

How common do you think asexuality is? Are we the last group to come out of the closet or what? Lol
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 29, 2020:
It's less common than LGBT+ conditions. I think the hardest part for people to understand is that it’s not celibacy or abstinence, those would indicate desire. There's no desire, although I remember enjoying a good orgasm when I was active but that's been over 20 years now.
What has been the hardest part about being asexual for you?
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 29, 2020:
When I say I'm not interested it's not a challenge for you to find my hidden kink... I don't even know if I have any kinks left. I think that trans women are more likely to be asexual then other populations, I have no credentials for this other than my own life.

As a minimalist since well before it became a pop-culture thing, this resonates with me.

Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 28, 2020:
My favorite term for trash was "offal", Late Middle English term for waste from a process, frequently referring to dung, but even more often to pieces of meat that today is probably mostly used in Vienna Sausages or hot dogs.

Welcome Raj
Completely different take
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 28, 2020:
I was part of the trash crew at the Long Beach Pride event and a reporter asked me what I thought of how much money the event was raising as if I were someone of authority, I said hopefully if they raised enough they would find a cure. To be fair I said it sarcastically, suddenly there's a person sticking a microphone in my face and asking about raising money. I had no idea what charity they were talking about because I was working and I had heard someone talking about aids a few minutes before. It's a great way to become unpopular in the media all at once.

Even their base Trump zombie apocalypse audience has turned their back on Fox, oddly enough for reporting actual news. The lack of which is why I hardly ever watch them other than to get the gist of their arguments since I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories, nor of intentional misinformation for political purposes.
You know this is true
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 28, 2020:
Are you slut shaming whores? I think they earn every penny they get. For the right offer who isn't a whore in some way? Look at white supremacist fascist Christianity, total whores to Trump a con man. That's faith, the kind of faith that turns you into a whore of sorts.
Hats off! Lol!!!

I was like you, but even where I live there’s a Mega Church, so it’s a MAGA Church, but here in California I’ll never have to interact with any of them. In the city you can be as invisible as you like where you really can’t in the rural Bible Belt. I rate it at meh... which is considerably better then rural Alabama! I rate that at being anally raped by a full costume Iron Man.
I love the stories that occur when, human culture and nature interact.
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 27, 2020:
That’s beautiful and awesome and it pisses me off that I wasn’t aware of the near extinction of chestnuts until now. It’s up there with passenger pidgins, Buffalo, and bald eagles. All because people foolishly try putting exotic species in environments that can’t deal with them. Feral pigs in the USA, rabbits in Australia, fish from Southern Asia brought to the Great Lakes in bilges of ships. All disasters. I don’t get silly about traffic stops to declare agricultural products you’re transporting.
The snow has fallen a little.

You got me with Enya, When I drive on an empty freeway with insane visibility so I feel safe to just fly down the road, that’s when my car stereo is playing “Cursum Perficio” I wish I could still hang glide to hear it while flying. I did listen to Zep’s “Immigrant Song” on several extreme theme park rides. All Enya is profound.

How many thought this was menstruation 🩸 instead of mensuration? I’m guessing it was mostly people that think monogamy is a type of hard wood.

Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 27, 2020:
Many of us know the root cause of fascism is fundamentalist white supremacist Christianity. Yes there are black ministers that are white supremacist Christians, after all white supremacist Christianity is way to big to only have white ministers. Not to mention the financial perks, and white supremacist Christians can say they’re obviously not racist because black white supremacist ministers are a thing. Like Ben Carson proves the Trump administration isn’t racist. At least if you’re a racist that doesn’t know what racism actually is in any case.

Will "Trumpism" Become History? [dailykos.com]
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 25, 2020:
It's just an illustration of the cyclical nature of history... We've done all this before.
Do you believe in mythology?
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 25, 2020:
Yes, they're the demented diary of the human species. Each myth is typically environmentally inspired by natural observations. Like the great forest, which dies when it's cold, then comes back to life in spring. It happens with trees so it has to work for animals as well. Everyone knows cats have nine lives, and I saw that cat on the stairwell get ran over 35 years ago. Egyptian mythology is about the Nile River, an odd spot to focus on in an infinitely diverse universe. So the size of the world in these myths was limited by their perception of the world. A very small universe. It should be an academic study.
A thought for the day.....
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 25, 2020:
You don't understand, we were hoping they would stop embarrassing themselves. I'm for free speech, but the speech with truth we have to dive Youtube to hear. Most of this rift is from the "FU" conservatives and corporate Democrats. Sadly we didn't have a candidate with policies that were Progressive that weren't high priority targets for right wing media and sympathetic disapproval by moderate democrat media. But please state your case, tell us your agenda without lying about the designed outcome. Republicans advocating freedom of political speech typically spend a lot of time picking at whatever is the highest value targets of their political opponents. Hillary and Benghazi. They're still having court cases to reopen investigations, after what a billion dollars of court cost at tax payers expense. Republicans are a cult, a cult of conformist and their masters, all "True Christians" as opposed to denominations that don't agree with white supremacy.
Lighten up!

The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn has been in the news of late.
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 25, 2020:
It's a conjunction of two different gods from two different mythologies that are are confusingly the same. Saturn is the Roman version of the Greek Titan Cronus who was the father of the Gods but didn't want kids so he'd swallow them all as they were born, but the wife of Cronus loved her children and switched the first with a large rock then kept him in a secret place to be raised as Zeus, who ultimately defeated his father and freed his brothers and sisters, Zeus in Roman is Jupiter. So from an astrological vantage point it's like misogynistic overload, double the toxic masculinity, just as the world faces the Trump toxic masculinity as well as toxic masculine movements all over the world. An unfortunate coincidence that many will take as evidence. After all it's one hell of a coincidence.
Merry Christmas to all
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 25, 2020:
Thank you, and Happy Holidays to you as well.
Plant with an amazing story, or six, to tell, you may know the first bit, but stick with it I don't ...
Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 25, 2020:
Reductive evolution depends on the ability of a species to receive the benefit they lose by being able to manufacture needed material directly from the environment. We primates have a good example of this, vitamin C production. When our distant ancestors had a mutation that disabled our ability to make our vitamin C they probably didn't notice, their diet already was rich in vitamin C due to fruit and vegetable consumption. The same mutation has probably happened in obligate carnivores on an individual level, but they die of scurvy before passing the broken genes to their descendants. Consequently we primates are the only family of species I know of that have no ability to manufacture vitamin C from an all meat diet, like cats, dogs, and killer whales.

Willow_Wisp comments on Dec 25, 2020:
There is a special wit to so succinctly saying something so clever. There's an art to it. Like an odd sort of poetry. Some of us love etymology, it's how I taught myself Old English back when the Internet was not something available except at universities. Either super computers or modem dial in that was limited or prohibitively expensive. I just cross referenced five unabridged dictionaries. We had one that was 27 volumes. But the others were just preposterously large books with small type that included the history of a word. Knife is spelled this way because in late Old English it was called cnīf with a hard c like can, from Old Norse it was called knífr, of Germanic origin. Try listening to Chaucer in Middle English, it's a different language and has a bit of my fascination.
Anyone celebrating? How do you decorated?
