Religious Belief Systems by Continent Region, 2023.

Due to there being no data for just over 900 million people, each figure given for each belief system should be considered as being around 89% accurate. This could, for example, swap the most prevalent religion position between Christianity & Islam, or could further extend Christianity's lead.

#Before the promotion of #Einstein the Western #world had a massive #awakening in #Physics where all of our current #technology has it’s origins.

There was a engineered pivot away from this innovative methodology towards mathematics to suppress the Good Stuff!

Fiat needed planned obsolescence.

Enter #Cesar-Soós, an #engineer who took the #metaphysics of #Norberto-Keppe, and built a motor based on #resonance, just like the geniuses before 'Special Relativity.’ In this #interview we discuss what Norberto Keppe’s contribution was to ‘Dis-Inverting’ Physics and how Cesar was able to use his principles in #building some of the most #efficient #motors in the world.

"But it's no reason to dismiss the multiverse as unscientific."

This is a problem....

Definitely metaphysics/speculation but not science...

I usually avoid navel-gazing here (because I overindulge in my inner life). But I have rarely felt so deeply seen as I do by this funny ‘splainer. If there is funeral for me upon my passing and anyone shows up, they can just play this video instead of writing an eulogy. I hope it makes you giggle and go on.

Here are some highlights:

How are we supposed to find meaning or belonging or just the bare basics of a reason to live in a universe this unkind and uncaring and hopelessness seems inevitable, pitted daily against tragedies with no explanation, maladies that defy medicine, and—let’s be honest—other humans who are just straight-up cocks? By pursuing the joy of being for the sake of it, by choosing to create hope internally, by revolting against the harshness and strangeness of existence by living even more intensely. Born into a world that makes no sense, we can rebel by being better and kinder and weirder, by living inside a paradox and still doing the dishes. It’s about asking the question “what if we never get a final explanation”’and replying to oneself, “Look. It’s a nice day. How unprecedentedly cool it is to be alive. Let’s go for a beer.”

Amongst all the waffle (because how can you even talk about these things/) are some real gems.
Great footage of exquisite Murtis, Tangkas, Temples, Landscapes, Dances and more.

Do Chairs Exist?

A surprisingly good Vsauce video:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=fXW-QjBsruE

I'd suggest some related questions:

• What is "chair"?
• What is "existence"?
• What is "is"?

How much of existence simply rests on a sufficiency of interest on our part?

There've been a few stabs at disucssing this, I'd like to see if we can't perhaps pull off a bit more here. Do please watch the video first so as to be on the same ground.

Sometimes I ask myself...

Are we all just living in a holographic universe?

#holograph #universe #perception #reality #unknown #unknowable #physics #metaphysics

https://www.cnet.com/news/holographic-universe-hologram-reality-big-bang-physics/

wow, a couple dictionary results plucked from a search for "can't get there from here", and they're stubbornly physical/literal...

i really thought i'd encounter a top result defining/exemplifying it something like "cannot get to knowledge from wilful ignorance" and/or other similar(ish) examples.
