In today's society,though it is true that one must confront common reality to exist in this mortal condition ruled by semi civilized agreement, once that is accomplished we are free to explore the uncommon/unexplained and mystical aspects of reality without being burned at the stake...mostly
there is no single thing called society. there are many societies. there are places where you would be burned for making this post. even where agreements are semi-civilized, you may feel free to explore all the things you said but in fact you may have to wade through a lot of crap without a map.

Great post! Just about every creative work of mankind started out as speculation or metaphysical pondering. There is not one reason under the sun to refrain from such activity. If anyone on here metaphorically tries to burn you at the stake I’ll come to your rescue.
Horst: Wie Gates Al?
Al: OK. I’m thinking about what would happen if I traveled along with a beam of light. There’s some interesting things like time dilation. I’m wondering if the idea of the aether is incorrect.
Horst: THERES NOT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE for such woo woo ideas. The existence of the aether is a proven part of settled science.Everything to be known about nature has been explained by physics. You get me some evidence boy or I’m gonna have to apply Hitchens razor. THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON YOU!
Al: Well gee, it’s just something I’m turning over in my mind, and I think something might come from it.
Horst: Bull scheiss! Stick with proven facts!
Donald, I’m going to follow you.
Thing is.. common reality should be based on facts.. yet the anti-science movement seems to be growing.
@DonaldHRoberts just read your other posts.. so not going there..
Smile and nod.. smile and nod.
