Ah, Terry Wogan...good times indeed.

Icke, as I remember, holds the dubious honour of being perhaps the only person on the planet to make that perennial knob-end Littlejohn look like a reasonable man.

(To give you some idea just how much of a knob-end Littlejohn is, well, he once got pwned by Michael Winner.)

Look where you're fucking walking, undergrad!

Who said anything about 'morphic fields' or 'Akashism'?

Well, no-one, that's just one corner of another (generally unrelated) rant I made elsewhere a while ago against New-Age "hippy" rubbish, that's all. No, I'm not accusing you of that.

I also would like to just point out that my awe is not satiated. Not in the slightest. In fact, that same awe was the whole reason for writing this in the first place.

Never sought to imply it was.

If I interpreted your post as a negative critique wrongly, I apologize. Its a general reaction I have to people who speak the word 'pseudoscience' in my direction.

It wasn't a negative critique.

If I remember correctly, human DNA is something like 3×10⁹ base-pairs. Four base pairs, so that's two bits each, i.e. a quarter of a byte. So that's around 700 to 800 MiB, about a CD-ROM's worth. This'd very likely go down with entropy coding, but I cannot estimate to what ratio.

I'm going to cast aside the "hippy" notion of one-ness since it's often dressed with pseudoscience and bullshit like morphic fields and Akashic nonsense and so-forth, but that our universe's Laws of Physics have taken us all the way to things that can Know Joy is a remarkable thing. I, and pretty much every other fundamental theorist out there, would dearly love to know why this is so (anthropic fine tuning? or a natural consequence of physics at much higher energy scales?). Science may sate my wonder but never the awe.

Hej Wade, you're gonna love this place:

Confederate Yankee - Because liberalism is a persistent vegetative state

Empty the 1.4 million Gazans living in squalor into the surrounding Arab nations who helped make it a modern Hell. Send them to Egypt. Syria. Jordan. Lebanon. Let these nations deal with the extremism they've midwifed by absorbing the bastard Arabs of the Middle East into their own societies.

Granted, such a repatriation will be welcomed by neither the Arabs of Gaza nor the nations who have to host the violent illiteracy and religious extremism they helped create.

Heh, reads like a sick joke. A suggestion of a "solution" that is not only impractical, but guaranteed to foment even more hatred and resentment! Just what the Middle East needs.
