Don't get science and math wrong there, pal! Math is a system created by humans, and everything "true" in math only remains true within that system. You want an alternative math with equally true assessments, go ahead, it's possible.
With natural science, scientists always know that their discoveries are possibly not "true" forever. Scientists of tomorrow could always find that matters are more complicated than formerly thought. You make up theories and you redefine them until they best fit and reliably predict all observed phenomena. That's an active search for the truth, but always only an approximation nonetheless. Plato's Cave allegory might come into play here.
Well, let there be peace. I do believe in true scientists, as long as they don't harbor a complex, ego over humanity. I'm just saying that there are things we might not believe , such as teleportation, inter-dimensional travel, portals, shape shifters, replicators, lol, nonsense, yes? Ships that actually have a life of their own. Sounds crazy, only from a point of reference...
You believe in aliens that cross space, or whatever, well, if that's the given, their point of reference is different than yours. Very different, it changes almost everything.
The scary thing is that we might just be an experiment of higher beings, a program, reality like a program or computer.
Science , math may take proof, evidence to show that things may or may not be true, but common sense paired with basic logic usually works just as well. We've intellectualized this mind as a tool, a social creation, it's a tool , it's already measuring things by social instinct , language formats, it's already processing, it's already calculating as a tool, you're not fully aware of it. Then your brain also has a system of logic unlike your mind, it's already processing, already an inherent tool of measuring reality.
The intellectualized mind , socialized, cultured, it's a tool, and there's basic programming and principals within this tool and even some times intuition. You can easily see patterns once brought out, once visible, such as your brain detects works on patterns.
Our commons senses , basic logics are already an evolved tool long since developed tool of science and maths. We put people down, discredit them because of ego and complexes.
Oh really, we only prove a concept to prove there is no current better explanation, using the same social terms, the same intellectual tools, one is a simple discipline. Yet we judge others who use the same social intellectual tools under a different discipline. We judge people, using the same processes, calculations, the same brain logic, as if we're separate or better than those people.
And watch as our artists, and philosophers are also some of our greatest scientist!
PROTIP: Crappy pop music love songs are a lot more bearable if you imagine that the singing character is a crazy, axe-murdering psycho stalker that wants to skin the object of their affection and wear the skin like a suit.

So, every single pop love song is automatically better if you give it the context of "Silence of the Lambs?"
I watched this video about pleasure and how what we know or believe about things or people make them more pleasurable/attractive/likable (brief part about pain in the Q&A) and found it super interesting. It's like an hour long, though, be warned of that.
Humans are sour, even with the best intentions at heart and caring for everyone people will attack you, even pay people to try to discredit you because they want the world to burn and kneel in it's insecurities.
LOL, I'm speaking on a larger scale than self. Look through out history, politicians and all that hoorah. People are just warped.
We're a feared species, here for amusement. I DO NOT BELIEVE that I am better than you. Dont get me wrong, we're in this mess together.
I have my own human complex of self and it's hard for me to work through.
When you look at the age of the planet, our species, we really are in diapers. Other species ,I don't know why but they do show interest in us, maybe now more than ever before.
We are pretty primitive and violent. Separate self from the equation , your right as it is mine. And notice how barbaric and violent and horrid we really are...
Well, I never said I thought their video was gospel. My beliefs aren't even the same, well, I do share many similar beliefs. I think some of these thing seem abstract until translated into a different "language" or looked at differently.
LOL testing, how cute...like the human race is really that smart, capable of understanding the universe. Inter dimensional beings might disagree. But, not every one is entitled to ask ...
Well, in a way so are we the interdimensional sort, but it's all about a point of reference which most of us seem to share or don't share.
It's really pointless , but no matter the human ego, and sense of reality is pretty strong, inspired. Yet again I point out how Einstein actually thought the physical was a mirage. But, yes, there's things humans aren't going to understand, comprehend.
Thanks for sharing. LOL the mighty scientist...XD! HAAHAHAHH! *cough cough cough*
Reality might be a mirage, everything that you might see might not actually exist, yadda yadda yadda. Could be true, but the point is, that this is completely untestable and therefore not subject to science. It is religion or pseudoscience. If the universe is a mirage, it is a consistent mirage and there are patterns that can generally be predicted and used to anticipate new patterns, which is the basis of science.
As to existence, I tend to side with Descartes on this one. If I'm sitting here wondering whether or not I exist obviously, someone is doing the wondering, and that is me. Everything else might not be real, but I am. In any case, questions on the state of reality, what comes after death, meaning of life, etc are not scientific questions and should not come under the umbrella of science. There is no way to prove or disprove such notions and therefore it is pointless to try. One can either believe or disbelieve them and that is all.
If believing that the Universe is a carefully structured mirage helps you get to sleep at night, then the idea is clearly doing its job. I, however, prefer to believe that reality is real, for the sake of having a concrete reference point to answer other testable questions that I have.
But we may believe in the same thing, do you see the irony? We both seek security in our own ways.
Recently, I've begin to question questioning the beliefs of others and think there are more "significant" issues to think about.
This might not make sense, that's ok, what I think is important is that I respect what you seek out for security and inspiration and you can atleast respect my own way in that expression.
I've been so wrong, no one is better than some one else. We are all part of the self image inside of the larger conception, inspiration of self, the larger body, mechanic of self and we aren't separate and as a social species we are all social relationships.
I'm so sorry I was so wrong about questioning your own belief system.

I think you might have misunderstood me. I was not saying your belief is wrong or that mine is right. I may very well be wrong. But the point I was making is that regardless of whether a belief is correct or incorrect, it is not and can never be science. The definition of science is that ideas can be rigorously tested, generally with the motivation to disprove them. With beliefs, they are beliefs because, while there may be evidence of a sort, there is no way to construct a test to disprove them.
As a result, it is wrong and misleading to treat beliefs as science and science as a belief system. I do not believe in evolution. I have studied the data and the experiments and have decided that there is enough evidence to convince me that evolution is a viable explanation for the variety of lifeforms on this planet. It's a minor distinction, but it is necessary to avoid meaningless arguments that seem to crop up all the time around scientific discoveries. That was the summation of my argument.
My friend, let's just stop. You misunderstood me too, perhaps. I don't want to fight you over a belief. That's not important, whatever makes you happy, what ever makes you secure you're entitled to that. If reality is a mirage, it's a mirage either way, whatever you take security in is good, I want you to be happy, I want you to be secure, I want you to be inspired, what ever inspires you, science, math, whatever.
I want you to be happy, expressive, beautiful, you aren't harming any one else as long as you have a high positive polarity.

...I don't think you read what I just wrote. Beliefs are beliefs. Who cares what people think? I mean, you're saying exactly what I was saying before. The only difference is I was more "fighting" over the definition of science, which does not fall under the category of a belief.
Don't worry, I'm not upset or angry or anything. Sometimes I guess I come off that way online. I just want to make sure that my side was clear and that I wasn't attacking your belief...only the method by which it was presented. Beliefs should not be presented as science. That's all I was trying to say.
Yes my argument was wrong, it created a impractical balance of ying and yang because you're from a point of manifestation within self concept and I'm trying to relate my own personal self manifestation of self concept as a contrast, rather than a comparison, where we can find some form of equality and find peace.
You and I both get security and inspiration from our own sources, and yes I see your point now , I was wrong to argue in the way that I did. But I've already admitted I was wrong. And this follows suit of what is on my mind.
I should have respect the potential and presence of positive polarity in your self image of the greater self conception. You weren't harming any one.
Polarity balance a spiral inward and also outward and depending on the observer I've noted you can control whether or not it spirals inward or outward with your mind, a spiral op art pattern.
Mediation, breathe in and breathe out. That sort of thing. It's all the same, I'm sorry I was not thinking in positive, equal, balanced polarity.

EDIT: Breaking News: Guitar Hero is getting a franchise reboot, probably the first game series in history to officially do so.
....
What?
Plenty of game series have gotten a "reboot" treatment. And, generally, this has involved more than deciding not to put a number behind a game that would otherwise have a number, because seriously what is there to "reboot" about Guitar Hero?
Hell, one could argue that the Sam and Max games by Telltale are a "reboot"!

Note that I said OFFICIALLY. The only reason I pointed it out is because the official announcement refers to the action as a "reboot."
I don't know what they mean by that, but I'm sure as hell not taking the bait AGAIN.

That's one of the worst realizations ever. I'm 25 and a scary amount of my friends are parents, some with multiple kids. It just ain't right.

Hell every song is better if you do that.
Surely there's got to be a cheaper way?

Usually that's because we're about to run through their habitat with a bulldozer. Tends to draw attention.
