  1. There is no what if, they do go beyond human comprehension. . For me personally I understand the limits of evidence, gathering a team of scientists and professionals to observe under controlled conditions, and recording it on camera is the gold standard. That's as good as we can possibly do in terms of evidence. The problem is that skeptics will always find excuses about how the professionals were in on the hoax or missed something, etc. The only thing better than such evidence would be an in person demonstration.
  2. I think really videos will only do so much. You need in person, one on one demonstrations under controlled conditions.
  3. I want to become powerful

    I think you make a valid point, and I think most of the time this is indeed the case. However not everyone who purchases a gun does so with the intention of harming someone else. There are valid reasons to need such power, that do not include dominating other people, or trying to take over the world. To achieve those ends, power is required. For some seeking power to achieve those end goals is just a means to an end, and not the end itself. If I want to grow all my own food there are several prerequisites to being able to do that. I would need to own a few acres of property located in the correct climate. I would need a water source, and fertilizer. I would need seeds. I would need lots of time. I would need the health and energy to garden, or the money to hire someone to do it for me. Needing time, money, energy, health etc, all of those things are requirements to make my end goal happen. Working towards those things as a means to an end doesn't make me a megalomaniac bent on world domination.

    Cut out coffee and caffeine. Coffee even decaf raises IOP, so does anything with caffeine in it.

Trabecular mesh network which lets fluid flow out of your eyes, it seems that TGF-β causes this tissue to stiffen and reducing it allows it to become more elastic and allow fluid to drain easier.
  5. Replacing junior level programmers....
  6. Many of the people I know from Indonesia are Muslim, and I agree they are happy as a clam. It is my subjective opinion though that Sikh's are even happier. I've been to langar several times at my local gurdwara and these guys make you feel like you are on a MDMA Oxytocin speedball. I haven't felt that much love sincerely directed at me since my grandmother died.
  7. More Unpopular Opinions

    I can't speak for all schools, but for some yes that is the goal.
  8. More Unpopular Opinions

    People go to internet forums, and assume the loudest voices are the correct ones. People go on to internet forums, and project that the other people they are interacting with are at the same level of mental health as they are.

    The guy believed if he could achieve the 8th convergent harmonic, he could sit in full lotus on a toilet seat, and give O@Ds and use up his electrochemical energy which made his body smell like poop.
