Thsts not really the impression i get from this article

More i get that something truly physical is occuring in the body during a NDE, and what the person interprets as their experience is influenced and described based on what they already know and understand

    It really sucks how you can't make legitimate criticisms of judaism and islam without hundreds of antisemites and islamaphobes coming out of their basements and ruining everything.

    So, is there truth to this idea? I spoke with two doctors about the concept of “moon behavior,” so we can finally put this theory to rest.

    “Me talking to two people is enough to determine a theory once and for all” is about the calibre of writing I expect from Vice these days.

    If the moon doesn’t influence our emotions, then why do so many people (myself included) report feeling more emotional or nostalgic during the full moon? Is it really all in our heads, like some sort of placebo effect?

    Or not. At least they accepted the conclusion that it’s all in their heads by the end though I guess.

    If any alien life had sufficient technology to visit us then they would have sufficient knowledge to know that's a terrible idea and never visit. We are a war mongering planet full of morons and assholes. No intelligent life would be so stupid as to even make the attempt.

    I’m gonna have to try it again. I couldn’t continue once he got into 12 step programs and religion, but most of what he wrote made sense to me and what I experienced. It could be that I just didn’t pick up on the wording and concepts that the article talks about, but that’s probably because I’m older and still trying to recognize those things when I see them.

    I much prefer Pete Walker’s books.

    Interesting. So a belief could be accepted, if your identy resolve around it. Believing in Allah, or Vishnou or God are subjective experience. But not 3 of them can be true. change flat-earth with astrology, if the problem is the subjective part. Or the MBTI test.

    Love language pretend that people are bound to express love in certain way. It was a made up by a dude in early 1900 with no science test, base, or research.

    The fact that you believe in it, has no impact about its validity as a reality . The same for stockholm. Because you "feel" it is right, does not make it right.

    But lots of people experience and identify with "Love languages" and "Stockholm syndrome." In fact both concepts resonate with me. They are merely words to describe people's subjective experiences. You can't say that people's feelings are "pseudo." Do you want me to invalidate all your feelings? How does that feel? Or do you not have any feelings or subjective experiences?
