Limited Inge thread: only while stocks last

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh, yeah, there's also akasha or ether.

I swear I'm forgetting one, though.

I've heard chi used in reference to energy before

That might be the one.

Kundalini?

With regards to UB:

Way ahead of you. She came in on the offensive, and now she's following people around on the board who clearly don't want to engage with her, posting in their threads, trying to bait them, and playing the victim. She was given good and sincere advice about cutting the games and being a real person, and has chosen instead to continue the sophomoric role-playing. It's obnoxious and juvenile.

So, you know when woo-woo fanatics casually use the word "energy" to refer to something they can't describe, while not having a very firm grasp on what the scientific definition of "energy" actually is?  Is there a proper word for what they are usually trying to describe?

This is a vague question, I know, but it's difficult to put into words what I am trying to ask.  If anyone thinks they know what I am trying to ask, please feel free to answer me.  If you know the answer.

I swear there's a word for that. I was going to suggest cosmic treacle but then I remembered that I was just ripping that off Brian Cox and that it's a real thing.

Some hippies call it mana. You could also go with phlogiston, because that's funnier.

"Cosmic Treacle". That is an amazing term. I'm going to try to remember that.

"Orgone"

"Orgone"

Stop it, you're turning me on.

  That concept is part of my thought-vocabulary... (sophabulary? Yeah that sounds right.)
I will need to do some self reflection. AGAIN.
Sigh, sentience is a sisyphean task.

You often are.

Oh well, we tried.

I love it. I don't really understand the Higgs Field, but what little I do grasp is pretty mind-boggling.

With regards to UB:

Appreciative. However, somehow it seems a super sonic power washer for waterboarding would be the flavor of choice for some on board. *dunno*

No one is ahead of you, don't believe such rubbish. It's ebb and flow for us all.

It wasn't too difficult to scare some away and if certain members of the board cannot overcome the obstacle of my entrance, I feel no ill will, and I understand.

[Pæs]

Can this stuff be banished from my very serious PSA thread and into some wasteland of fail and irrelevance forever?

That is to say, a rare request for thread split please. I believe there is a very fine LIMITED thread for Inge to exist in.
