The Crocodile

Yeah, but he does know he would probably die, right? It's interesting to look through this and see how many Confederate generals were killed or wounded. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_Civil_War_generals_(Confederate)

Could you sum this up in two words?? Too long

(from a Carlos book): I felt compelled at that point to present an argument. I sincerely contended that in European thought we had accounted for what he called the nagual. I brought in the concept of the Transcendental Ego, or the unobserved observer present in all our thoughts, perceptions and feelings. I explained to don Juan that the individual could perceive or intuit himself, as a self, through the Transcendental Ego, because this was the only thing capable of judgment, capable of disclosing reality within the realm of its consciousness. Don Juan was unruffled. He laughed. "Disclosing reality," he said, mimicking me. "That's the tonal." I argued that the tonal may be called the Empirical Ego found in one's passing stream of consciousness or experience, while the Transcendental Ego was found behind that stream. "Watching, I suppose," he said mockingly. "That's right. Watching itself," I said. "I hear you talking," he said. "But you're saying nothing. The nagual is not experience or intuition or consciousness. Those terms and everything else you may care to say are only items on the island of the tonal. The nagual, on the other hand, is only effect. The tonal begins at birth and ends at death, but the nagual never ends. The nagual has no limit. I've said that the nagual is where power hovers; that was only a way of alluding to it. By reasons of its effect, perhaps the nagual can be best understood in terms of power. For instance, when you felt numb and couldn't talk earlier today, I was actually soothing you; that is, my nagual was acting upon you." "How was that possible, don Juan?" "You won't believe this, but no one knows how. All I know is that I wanted your undivided attention and then my nagual went to work on you. I know that much because I can witness its effect, but I don't know how it works." (Don Juan saying the nagual is unknowable in nature and not aligned with Eastern mysticism or European philosophy.)

You're nuts.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't believe any of your definitions except for Undefinable. You can just ignore the hyperbolic stuff and pretend it's the same thing, as something obviously wreaking of humanness like Love. "But Crocodile, Love is impersonal, nonhuman, hyperbolic blah blah blah blah blah blah..."---no! You can't get around that all of these are way too limited points of view. I'll say this: if reincarnation and common implications of it is real, everything is all good. If not then there is no excuse whatsoever to not be a sorcerer, to shift consciousness out of the human into visible and tangible realms which are nonlinear, complex, and nonhuman in order to preserve your awareness after death. Either way, humans and the earth should take on a form of perfect Beauty through genetic engineering, long-term nature, or paranormal means. Humans should be made more intelligent, even more open-minded and more benevolent and more versed into these impersonal, nonhuman, hyperbolic realms so we can explore Beauty and complexity of time, space, meaning, pleasure, understanding, etc. forever as immortals both liberated from reality and enjoying reality.

why do you fall for this the one with the triangle released by Tom DeLounge originally or whatever is the most compelling, but there were debunkers that claimed to mathematically show it was just related to the equipment and replicated.

??hle

But it also includes that not happening ever. You need to explain the mechanics behind why a dinosaur won't appear right now and eat you. Just because it seems unlikely doesn't mean it can't happen.

That's extremely specific and doesn't have anything to do with this.

@Leo Gura I wanna cut through the absolute God stuff right now. What do you think our relative reality earth / the physical universe is?

Well, no, it's genuine. He's been crazy for a decade. There's a music video too https://x.com/nojumper/status/1920334727942230100

This seems to be the case. That abstraction is necessary for reality. But you don't have a rock-solid case that's beyond all doubts, so it just seems like a grotesque arbitrary constructed abstraction which is disconnected from experience, whereas the experience is something else, and good epistemology would be agnostic, about how what's happening is happening since there are infinite potential explanations.

The numerical argument can be argued against from the idea that numbers are simulated or evolved or computed, rather than existing infinitely in the first place.
