“Philosophers maintain that the future is similarly nothing more than a mental construct, an anticipation, a grouping of thoughts. Because thinking itself occurs strictly in the “now”—where is time? Does time exist on its own, apart from human concepts that are no more than conveniences for our formulas or for the description of motion and events? In this way, simple logic alone casts doubt on whether there exists anything outside of an “eternal now” that includes the human mind’s tendency to think and daydream. Physicists, for their part, find that all working models for reality—from Newton’s laws and Einstein’s field equations through quantum mechanics—have no need for time. They are all time-symmetrical.”
Robert Lanza M.D., (b. 1956) American Physician and Philosopher

- now that I think about it. this is the opposite of what plato would have said. he believed the realm of ideals existed apart from the mind. you can't change thesarahfailin

Time is not only increasing our knowledge, but evolution is increasing our capacity and initiation, which is the forcing-house of evolution, bringing faculties to birth out of due season, brings the consciousness of the adept within reach of vast apprehensions which are as yet below the horizon of the human mind. These ideas, though clearly apprehended by himself after another mode of consciousness, cannot be conveyed by him to anyone who does not share this mode of consciousness. He can only put them forth in symbolic form; but any mind that has in any way had experience of this wider mode of functioning will be able to lay hold on these ideas on their own plane, although it may be unable to translate them into the sphere of conscious thought.

- Who are you quoting?monospaced
- This thread is called “Quote someone.” Please post a quote and then also the “someone” part. Or else you’re not doing it right dude. Cmon.monospaced
- Also this reads like gibberish. It says nothing of substance and puts words together that sound profound but aren’t at all meaningful.monospaced
- Increasing capacity isn’t a complete thought. What is increasing initiation mean? Capacity for what? Initiation of what? One sentence and nonsense.monospaced
- Can’t talk about evolution if you aren’t a biologist either. And this is clearly not biology. It is total word salad. I can see why an idiot would be impressedmonospaced
- Why is this not true?
Post facts, to debunk.palimpsest - "Time is not only increasing our knowledge"
One can say that [our] knowledge increases with time. Meaning that it increases along/during time.palimpsest - But time does not increase our knowledge. Time does not directly act upon [our] knowledge, it has no direct effect on it.palimpsest
- this must be written by an AI for the sole purpose of generating gibberish for new age morons to drool overmonospaced

“Your life is not fucked up because of overt racists or hidden systemic racism. You aren’t missing out on opportunities, making shit money, and getting evicted because of America or Donald fucking Trump or because your ancestors were slaves or because some people hate immigrants or Jews or harass women or believe gay people are going to hell. If any of that shit is stopping you from excelling in life, I’ve got some news. You are stopping you!”

"There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous."

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
