    Default Does anyone die?

    see - it's like this.

    When somebody dies they are dead only from our perspective. If the person is being spied-upon by aliens 1000 light years away, the person 'remains alive' while the light transfers to the eye of the alien who can clearly see the person alive and doing stuff and all that - 1000 years in the future. In the past nobody is dead who was born after the past happened. To modern christians, circa 50AD nobody who died last week (in 2015) is dead because they haven't yet existed. Right?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    But really. It's science we're talking about with all this. But it's a mind-fuck, too

    I'm too old to be mind-fucked by science. I've been listening to Obama's "science" for the last hour. Thank God World's Dumbest came on. It'll raise the IQ level of what I've been listening to.

    Well then you have nothing to worry about, since you are "un-f***-withable".

    You crack me up, Gunny! Russ is going to have to meet you for a beer, and get an earful.

    (I had tried to write it as cleanly as possible, but still make the reference to his avi. Fail, I guess).

    After I have been dead 100 years, I wonder how many books will have been written about me?
