The Choice

There is a video out there called The Choice, by Trey Smith and I haven't been able to bring myself to post it. The reason is that there are some doctrinal errors in his presentation, and the fact that he appears to still be into "a smoke".
Never the less, the dynamic style is perfectly suited to the subject matter.
I find it fascinating, so here it is.

 

B.t.w. Still on the frog and scorpion trend, The Choice is what enables us to really change the essence of our being.

How Long Is A Piece Of String Theory?

Years ago, my mate had a theory that "high end" Hi Fi turntables were, so good that they were rubbish. What he was saying that, the arms were so sensitive, you couldn't walk across the floor without them skating across the record. He was right
.
The same applies to the new self service checkouts at Morrisons. One day the machine was just eating my coins without registering them. When the manager had opened up the coin mechanism, he found bits of fluff that had clogged it up. He maintained that the machines were state of the art, to which my reply was, "They're so good, they're rubbish" It's true.

The principal can apply to all sorts of stuff, String theory for example. It's so clever, it,s rubbish.
How can you measure how long a piece of string is without giving a value to something that is immeasurable?
Then there is Super String and M theory, D brane theory and 11 different dimensions.

It's at the point where more faith is required to believe it, than to believe in the supernatural.

Maybe science is a religion. It certainly punches above it's weight in my opinion.
I am quite convinced that aspects of modern science are just a form of legitimised gnosticism but maybe that's another story.

On a slightly different note, I was quite surprised when I looked up the definition of "technocracy" It appears that "Social sciences" are not included in the definition. I would disagree most strongly, since it is clear that the development of social science at the time of the enlightenment, most definitely became a tool by which the ruling elites, "managed" society. maybe the dictionary writers are not as insightful as one would have hoped.

Arthur C Clarke and Isaac Newton

Here's a thought!

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C Clarke

 

"Nah, that's a rubbish quote", I hear you say.

OK how about this one:

 "If I have seen further it is by standing on ye sholders of Giants" Isaac Newton. The most influential scientist in history. Alchemist, Kabbalist, and all round general "kook"
