Nah, that's why I didn't post it then. I wrote the account down, but lost it anyway. I was being sincere regarding the fam.
All is well duder, baby's healthy and happy, glad to see you back. Those fockers will pay! How are you?
That is correct. You did not push it. I was wrong. I am sorry. But i do get that all the time, so i should not have lumped you in with those others i meet all the time and surf and insist. I am not angry, though, don't worry, i liked doug. Mellow. That's me. I do think it could sound like your post looks like a religion with you ordained to preach the word of yoga, though, since it does sound like a cure-all i should consider. maybe all religion isn't that bad, nor ordained preachers for that matter. Again sorry i mislabeled you as proselytising. I have met others, though. As in any religion.
Thanks. I'm not religious, yoga is just a mental and physical practice for me. Good, thank you. Crazy how you were trying to land a nice lady not to long ago, and now you have a baby. Time just rips by.

While science does get manipulated by self-service people, I think it's pretty overblown how much of this goes on. Esp. by the media and the pols who control it, for their own agenda. Also, resist the tendency to think that because new information or thinking comes along and disproves something that we should lose faith in the scientific method. Often times these things are on the cutting edge of science, and thus on shakier ground than something that has stood the test of time. When Michael Faraday started doing demonstrations of electricity, many wrote it off as parlor tricks with no practical value. Yet here we are less than 200 years later using it for nearly every power application in the world. It has truly revolutionized technology. Does anyone here really think that someday we'll find out that it's all bunk, and electricity isn't real? Quantum physics, healthcare, cosmology, are relatively new fields, but Newtonian physics is pretty damned concrete and has been verified a bazillion times over. Does anyone think that one day we'll find out that the earth doesn't travel around the sun, and that we've gotten it all wrong, the earth is the center and the sun orbits around it? After all, that used to be just common sense, and any fool could see that the earth doesn't move, it's the sun that moves. Also, even when something is shown to be false, it doesn't mean knowledge hasn't progressed. The recent discovery that the universe expansion is accelerating disproves the hypothesis that the expansion is slowing down, so we now know that is false. No need to go back and revisit that. It's one thing to understand that there is much we don't know and that much of what we "know" may be proven to be false, or at least not 100% correct, but what disturbs me is when people extrapolate this into saying that science (i.e. the scientific method) is bunk, so why bother? This and the recent trend of willful, proud ignorance, is a step in the wrong direction. Be an open minded skeptic, demand proof, understand and accept that science can be wrong, but have faith that the scientific method will continue to progress human knowledge. Perhaps someday we'll come up with something better, but until that time, it's about 10x better than anything else humanity has come up with. This is, of course, just one dumb wookie's opinion...

Glad you're back, Doug. I think you turned me onto "The Untethered Soul." Will read it for a third time this summer. It's helped me and I referred it to a good friend that was having some life issues.
Thanks! It's a rad book, life issues or not. I read it 3 times. I'll refer back to it occasionally, and it mellows me right out every time.
fu ck yeah man! although by presenting the whole earth rotates around the sun thing vs the eco-centric universe around the earth thing your not taking into account the position that the earth and sun and universe could all be expanding across the space time continuum at a really fast rate and producing gravity that one day will suck them all back into each other producing the death of the universe or something. so in reality, in my brain, nothing proves nothing and everything is irrelevant. because e=mc^2 and when matter is accelerated past the speed of light it ceases to be anything but energy, meaning gravity doesn't necessarily apply in the same fundamental ways to matter getting barrelled really fast through the tubes of the universe. let me tell you something about nothing, i dont know sh it
exactly, we live in a doughnut shaped universe it is a bound entity that flows like a vortex/Toroid, expanding and then condensing back into a singularity before expanding again after passing through a single point universe has edge otherwise heat death would have occurred already
This is one of the more exciting and interesting things being explored in cosmology today. Continual expansion, eventual contraction to the singularity, or will it achieve an equilibrium? A doughnut, or a dodecahedron? I'd sooner be able to count all the hairs in my fur than be able to understand the math behind each of the theories, but it sho is fun to put on some Cypress Hill, do some yoga, and ponder the yonder about it. Of course, all the answers are in the barrel...Through The Wormhole we go!
