What if violent asteroid impacts actually jump-started life on Earth? Explore a dramatic theory.

DM Based on our conversations, thus your understandings to date, do you believe a virus possesses a Holophren™; ... or is this phenomena simply displaying partial holophrenic attributes? This is a genuinely fascinating boundary question about your framework. Before I attempt to offer my understanding, let me search through our past conversations to make sure I'm drawing on the full context of how you've developed the holophren™ concept, particularly around boundary cases and

Suiseki stones from Japan are arranged as objects of worship. Crystals within the Manhattan schist link urban modernity to deep antiquity.

DM Today, from our preceding and applicable conversations, I'm pondering these: 1) Initialization or generation of the holophrenic™ phenomena within what will become sentient consciousness, be it from seed, sperm, egg, zygote or spore. 2) Imagining possible origination(s) of the holophrenic structure from pre-history's fundamental motion(s), and the derivative formations and arrangements of matter therefrom. Related, I'm positing that life could (finally) be defined as a pres

Models can predict catastrophic or modest damages from climate change, but not which of these futures is coming.

The Interview Excerpt: "That talk was an interesting way for me to realize that maybe I had equated kindness and niceness in too easy of a way. Disconnect those, and it gets to be a real lifelong challenge. Now what I think is that kindness has so much to do with your ability to be in a moment without a whole lot of monkey mind going on. Because then you’re more likely to be able to posit what could be helpful in that situation. ... Well, I want to push back on your framing,

Good morning! So, how about today we do a partial "verifying sync." This would affirm and acknowledge we're in agreement on a variety of primary topics of our past conversations? Specifically, to assure we've"solid sync"on these five topics: 1) Pantakinesis™ , and its foundational three components (•all-encompassing, •motion, •vanishing points), is presently an optimal defining description of reality; 2) the Universal Holophren™ is a framework for the better understanding of

Good day to you! I seek to continue on our recent brief conversation on the merits of curvilinear thinking : How might we we cognitively consider motion, as both: within our local-umwelt of experience, within our existing or better paradigms of space and time, or cause and effect. and our meta-umwelt observations at cosmic level via our "advanced" prosthetics of umwelts, in which we observe motion appearing to indicate EXPANSION, AND ACCELERATING, AND DOING SO FROM EVERY DIS

This Question Can Change Your Life Excerpt: "Something I’ve been working on over these past months and years is being able to sit with doubt. And not just doubt — being able to sit in the wonder of uncertainty. Because the first person we believe is ourselves: the stories we tell, the things we think we already know. Maintaining an openness and a curiosity is important politically. It’s also very important in my work as a podcast host. But it is, above all, a spiritual pract

Properly deciphering the branching pathways of evolution could unlock the history of every component of natural biology.

By tracking brain activity as primates move freely in the wild, neuroethology could reshape what we think we know about our own minds. Excerpt: "If asked to describe what sets a cognitively complex species like humans apart from others, many would list specific behaviors, such as telling stories, creating art, planning for the future, or navigating complex social structures. Given that, you might expect that neuroscientists attempting to understand the advanced brain would s

DM Good day Claude. Today I would seek to (feebly) share my on-going Fitness=Truth™ thinking regarding Pantakinesis™ , The Universal Holophren™ and my conjecture of an apparently continuous Pantakinetic creation in the "Realm of the Present-Now™ (RPN), for your commentary (of, and beyond, our related past conversations; ...and please no sycophancy, nor anemic dichotomies!): 1) Pantakinesis, by definition, would (seem to be) without or beyond any imaginable shape or boundaries

I traveled to Sommarøy to find out whether a town really can live free from the clock. Excerpt: "Time-management styles do seem to influence how people experience the world. In Avnet and Sellier’s studies, at least, clock-timers were more likely to believe that events are steered by fate, not by intention. They are also worse at distinguishing between events that are causally linked and events that are unrelated. Those who follow event time are more likely to say that what h
