    Visualizing numbers in colors and shapes

    We use these concepts with things like " stoplight " color coding where a color is associated with a magnitude, I've personally done this with tables of data I think that due to brain plasticity, anyone can train themselves to use similar concepts to the experiences of someone with synesthesia

    Discussing the Origin of Life

    I thought that living things can't be considered closed systems, ( Closed systems don't exist ) so does " For any spontaneous process, the free energy of a system must decrease from its initial value at the beginning of that process " mean a living thing when it says " a system " ? As a side...

    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    One of the revealing things about the various names of the moon god Sīn is the deification of terms more commonly associated with math,( Number, geometric shapes ) Sumerian: usakar, sakar - " crescent moon; moon; crescent-shaped object; semi-circular line; half wheel " Akkadian: uskāru; warhu...

    What actually made the difference between animals vs man in the beginning ?

    At first I was going to say written language, but this is essentially semiosis and semiosis in communication is not something constrained to humans Then I considered the difference between natural and symbolic languages and came to the conclusion that it was the ability for abstraction and...

    Subjective/Objective Knowledge/Experiences and Enlightenment

    I would say bong hits help But seriously, if you can learn from a teacher, or you can learn by teaching, are you not the student and the teacher simultaneously ?

    Flood terminologies in the antiquities

    If periodize flood literature and then periodize the terms used, next to each other, we'll see that the " flood epics " generally sprang from the same span of time where we find the terms " bubbulu, abubu " ( And their variants ) applied to new moons If we examine the signs themselves...

    Is Spacetime a Reality

    The reason I brought up quantitative VS qualitative was because of what I read about Einstein's problems with the concept of " now " and how this relates to the question of " Is time discrete ? " ( Quantized time is not equal to discrete time ) You'd think this was settled by the work of Planck...

    Illusion and Reality

    No, actually, first time I've heard of him, thank you I definitely think he's right about Bayesian processing in the brain though A great indication of this is the ability of the brain to fill in the correct letters ( Typoglycemia ) when the letters in a sentence are scrambled ( As long as the...

    Keys to mild vs severe Coronavirus illness start to come into view

    There's a new drug being investigated - RLF-100 (Aviptadil) Seems to be very successful bringing patients off ventilators - it's main benefits are that it prevents apoptosis, blocks cytokines, lowers TNFα levels, reverses CD4/CD8 ratio Does make me curious why cannabinoids haven't really been...

    Illusion and Reality

    *has seizure* No, seriously, very similar to that I was thinking of wire perspective art, where a sculpture takes different form when seen from different perspectives An example would be a wire square, it's a square from one view, a rectangle from another or a line from another
