The title alone filled me with terror.

Not trying to troll (okay, trying to troll) but what if the fluffy "frequency" quantum vibration language is just a "mental frame" from which to view the world.

Sort of like if someone were to form a joke religion that were to misuse the ideas and concepts of religion as a mental frame and a tool to break people out of the more harmful one imposed by more traditional religion....

And you know that how?

I mean of you were to point blank ask 'em do you really believe this, that'd be one thing, but from what I see *here* I'm not seeing it, but I am seeing the beginnings of a stupidhippieslolol thread.

Not that it's a bad thing, but lets at least be clear on why were being bastards.

Because we can?

You're absolutely right that they could be using "frequency" as a metaphor for simple awareness and being present in now.

But studies* have shown that the vast majority of the time, they think that there are actual physical vibrations that defy the laws of physics, because of quantum.  And for that, they must be savaged.





*Numerous trolling runs

Google "quantum healing".

I assume you already know about Deepak Chopra.

Also, we treat Discordians the same way, as appropriate.  If I had a nickle for every person that came through here spewing word salad, pronouncing that drugs are magickal and make you more cosmically aware, yada yada, I wouldn't be sitting behind this desk, I'd be smoking dope in Cabo.

And don't even get me started on the free market tards.

Is that what your Discordia is? It's not what my Discordia is.

As MAY have been noted here in the past, I have very little patience for most "mental frames" other than science. They make me want to hurt people. Especially "mental frames" that involve stealing scientific concepts and terms and re-framing them as magic. That bothers me almost as much as the people who insist that science is religion.

If you think about it, both mindsets stem from the same belief (ie, science is magic).

Do you ever get that feeling like you're about to get hugged by an angel of love and mercy, but instead tear off it's wings, take a bite, and roar to the heavens as it cowers injured and horrified at your feet as you shit a lake of roofing pitch and belch fire?

That's what I got now.

Adding a little gasoline to the fire:

QuoteMaybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.

I actually thought that was a sweet mental image.

NOTE: I'm not saying it's a good or useful idea, but (and this may just be the happy vitamins talking) I would rather see a pointless war stymied, or at least put on hold, because of a crayon bomb than know that a bunch of someones' babies are getting dead.

And while I appreciate the fact that this is reality and good shit doesn't happen, I don't think thinking it's a nice thing to think about sometimes in a I wish things were different kind of way is bad. I hereby officially defend my statement of anti-cynicisim.

I would like to respond seriously to this, but right now I'm 4 beers and two bowls in AND watching Eddie and the Goddamned Cruisers 2, so I think I exited serious some time ago.

I'm not entirely certain what my Discordia is.  I wasn't aware I had to define it, but if I'm forced into a very rough and dirty definition it would be something along the lines of the practice of breaking the underlying assumptions of a thing, event or process into its constituent parts and then reassembling them into a new underlying assumption that forces a different viewpoint of the same thing, event or process.  And that is what I meant by "mental frame"

Which probably isn't very discordian of me, but Fuckit I do what I want.

I have a problem with overly simplistic solutions to complex problems. Raining crayons on starving people isn't really a mental image I find optimistic, either.

It's sort of the "ideal world" vs. the "real world" discussion. You can't actually find solutions to problems if all your solutions are based on "if only" and wishful thinking.
