Intellectually? Depends on whether knowledge is finite?
If humans "meet" other worldly "creatures", it will most likely be more an intellectual, rather than physical meeting?
What would a more advanced civilization, or intellectual "being", communicate to us? Avoid climate change, be truthful?
Such a being most likely would try to communicate with us through telepathy. But how would we understand that "being", if the "being" only planted seeds of thoughts in our consciousness, and left the decision up to us (as in Startrek - not interfering in "untouched" civilizations)?
Various theories in physics stipulate that an infinitely small string or point vibrates and creates all things physical.
In my mind, if you vibrate a point or string at certain frequencies, you get symmetrical patterns. In the physical world, not everything is symmetrical.
So the vibration must be asymmetrical and still impart constructive information. Sounds like we are in a simulation? Could be. I was undecided before.
Played a part in stopping Trump from almost certain reelection.
Would be looked upon as Divine Intervention by many, if it weren't for all the death and suffering.
Few probably think about what America and the World would be like with Trump in a second term as President.
The conservative party in Korea has been acting like Trump for decades and have become even more emboldened watching Trump spout lies. Pretty sure the situation is the same the world over.
Used to drink very weak coffee, but surprisingly found out it was causing ulcers.
Saw Jaco play with Pat Metheny. Think it was in 77?
In the beginning (sounds like the Bible), there was no intelligence and it emerged?
Or there was intelligence and it started manifesting in the universe?
Intelligence, emotions and other factors begat cognitive dissonance and cognitive consonance?
Evolution-wise, or over time, there should be more people who are cognitively consonant than cognitively dissonant.
Due to democratic voting, changing a country's policies requires a majority. If the cognitively consonant control media and other private organizations, then a majority is not always needed.
If there were more cognitively consonant people, the world would be a much better and more logical place. Hope we are headed that way.
People today are a mix of contradictions. Were people meant to evolve into being more cognitively consonant?
Why do people and knowledge keep evolving into a "higher" state? Something like entropy? Maybe some effect or a type of energy that people have believed to be a God?
What is the percentage of people globally today who are cognitively consonant? Less than 1%?
It would be very hard to be 100% cognitively consonant.
What is the percentage of people globally today who are around 60% cognitively consonant? 10%?
Don't know and doubt that I will ever even if I took a long time to think about it.
