Philosophical Speculations

If people would like to have another part of the forum that is strictly about speculations (and at most smell), without any points of contact with reality, we can create that. I promise that I won't write there and point out the logical inconsistencies when someone says that the cambium is in the c...

No one is being pushed or punished here, unlike when you privately whined to BK and suggested that he ban us from the forum. That's just not true, I never suggested that.

Good info on the latest reincarnation research. Also, interesting remarks at 12:00 about the difference between the imaginary and imaginal realms. Eugene, do you agree with Mishlove that 'more data' is needed? If yes, what kind of data should that be? He meant that more data is needed for studying ...
