    How long is this instant? Every instant is a new creation.

    I never get your music selections that accompany your posts in this subforum unfortunately (and also rarely dig them but that's a matter of taste naturally, this one actually sounds not too bad :))... Was mellow the focuspoint here?

    Thought you said everything was physical.
    I have never appreciated your equation because it does't yield any information. What is not, does not exist. The formula is a stupefying rather than edifying statement. Flesh it out dummy.

    This is sauerkraut,
    Unless you become as little children, have an open mind, you aren't transcending the form of diplodicus.

    Beginning with the assumption that diplodicus, like crocodilians, did not have a diaphragm, the dead-space volume (the amount of unused air remaining in the mouth, trachea and air tubes after each breath) has been estimated at about 184 liters for a 30 ton specimen.

    Its tidal volume (the amount of air moved in or out during a single breath) has been calculated based on the following respiratory systems:

    904 liters if avian
    225 liters if mammalian
    19 liters if reptilian.
    On this basis, its respiratory system could not have been reptilian, as its tidal volume would not have been able to replace its dead-space volume. Likewise, the mammalian system would provide only a fraction of new air on each breath. Therefore, it must have had either a system unknown in the modern world or one like birds, i.e., multiple air sacs and a flow-through lung. Furthermore, an avian system would need a lung volume of only about 600 liters compared to a mammalian requirement of 2,950 liters, which would exceed the available space. The overall thoracic volume of diplodicus has been estimated at 1,700 liters allowing for a 500-liter, four-chambered heart (like birds, not three-chambered like reptiles) and a 900-liter lung capacity. That would allow about 300 liters for the necessary tissue. Assuming diplodicus had an avian respiratory system and a reptilian resting-metabolism, it would need to consume only about 262 liters (69 gallons) of water per day. You could run forever and not get off the god damned ground. Flying takes a flying leap.

    My question is---for every litre of air I breathe in, how much is mammarian?

    Heck with whats been in mammals----give me mammaries, both in and on...

    Not enough bacon could be construed as too many pigs. Chesticles abound!

    The moral of the diplodicus is that he could never fly because his metabolism in terms of buoyant behavior was reptilian even though he grew to great size by virtue of his avian airway precursory inheritance.

    The way of the creator is lost on you! lol You say we don't create ourselves. No-one's stopping you.

    Ask wolf, he's saying everything's nothing. Like your stultifying saying: "everything is nothing in particular" lol

    Everything is physical. Your edification is not paramount. Do you want an apology from me for your stupidity regarding the 'formula'?! lol

    You're not allowing the kraut his 'breath' of poetry. Are you bitter? The meaning; flight, like anything else, is achieved.

    Your 'unlesses' are useless redundant one!

    Asmodean:
    lol No, not mellowness, just wayeredness. :-D "Not too bad"?! Sounds fucking wicked to my ears!

    Why did you rob me? We create like ourselves, creations being extensions.



    Passing the pigskin? I say everything is something but nothing in particular.
    by definition in philosophy,
    particular,
    an individual item, as contrasted with a universal quality.



    None needed it doesn't give any information correct or otherwise.



    He's a fine poet just as forlorn a philosopher. Unoccupied time is the superfluity here, there are no idle thoughts.

    Sounds like a nervous exaggeration to me.

    You are not in your right mind thinking we don't create ourselves. How do you think it is we create 'like' ourselves? I've stolen nothing from you, not even your time.

    You can say what you like. Everything's something in particular. You are wrong-headed. Not your fault unless you want it to be. There's no true argument with stupidity.

    Your denial that infinity doesn't equal one.

    What unoccupied time?

    The music or what I said it sounds like to me? Both? Did you listen to it? :-D

    I didn't mean to suggest that you did but I wondered if that be the explanation for your doubt. We ourselves create but we do not create ourselves. Yourself, that self that calls your body home, was given to you.



    I say what is known. You prefer your own, separate from common decency, definition.



    The formula neither says what infinity is nor does it make a statement regarding one. Neither integer has meaning in your brilliant dissertation.



    That time you think that awaits accomplishment.



    Both and yes.

    Not everyone was born to have kids, so what.... are they worthless? Seems like that is what you imply all of the time, thedope...i say go create forever if you want to...Most guys can until they die.

    Children as a metaphor are progeny, creations or extensions of the self. I don't necessarily mean flesh and blood copies. But as to getting along with people I disarm more than give cause to be up in arms and this is for the sensitivity I have for my own children or the things that come out of me. Creation is expansion of the creator and if you don't claim it all you leave parts of yourself unattended or you don't recognize your condition.

    if i were god, or a god, the thing is, as tempting as it would be to take a more direct hand in things on any one of them, there are thousands if not billions of worlds, each with their own seprately evolved sapeint populations. EACH of them, with billions upon billions of other species and the complexities of each of their own natural environments beyond any capacity of any one mind, however powerful, to even imagine, let alone create.

    i could certainly design a better world then what humans have made of this one. there are just so many worlds though, unless each were to have a god of their own, seperately assigned to it. i won't say that's not possible, just that there are so many other ways just as much so.

    what about one god? if i is only one god, then it is the same one god of all of them and we run back into the same problem.

    so many that it takes that thousand years, give or take a few hundred, in the rekoning of each of them, to get all the way around to all of them, even for a god.

    so on each world you pick some poor bastard to be channeled by, to try to tell the people on that world what you think might help them. then move on to the next. and by the time you've visited and done this on all of them, a thousand years, more or less, will have passed on which ever one you started with.

    Hands on. I would wrap my hands tightly around the neck of everyone who killed another human being, or caused life time harm.

    I would shake the hand of every man woman and child who done good for someone else

    I would make myself visible for those who needed me in bad times so they know their prayers are being answered.

    I would not encourage religious people to sell my pitch. I would sell it myself somehow by offering visible rewards for something good done and not necessarily in a cash kind of reward but in helping you achieve something you really want.

    I've seen the hands of God. Very real. And yes, God is very handy. It is also the easiest way for human beings to remain humble and know that we are NOT God (I'm not those hands, and neither is anyone else). God is in us, part of us .. but a person can be separated from God.

    You are giving life to the children I mean.
    These things are your creations and you love them.

    LOL! My life being given takes nothing from my creating it ever since!
    Your maths is... yours! lol


    No you don't say what's known. You say everything's nothing in particular. If you know nothing, you'll be the first and only one to know it. But, there's really no 'if' about it. You won't.

    Infinity is an integer?! lol

    Oh? What's that?

    Sorry you didn't like it. If it helps, I wasn't playing it for you. :-D
