Closed Minds!

Saturday 4:20 p.m.


Here's a video about Prahlad Jani, who says he hasn't had anything to eat or drink for seventy years. You can maybe see it here. It only lasts a couple of minutes

Exploring Outer Space:
It was only four or five hundred years ago when everyone in Europe anyway, if not the world, thought the earth was the centre of the cosmos. Everything span round us. That's the way it appears to be, apart from the funny movements of the planets. Everything else seems to go round, but the planets backtrack a little.

At the root of the juju I'm trying to do is the proposition that nothing exists in the manner of its appearance, or that all phenomena are misapprehended.

Other galaxies weren't found till Hubble got his telescope on a weird acting nebula around the 1930s. Now, we've got the Big Bang, and perhaps multiverses.

Could you fit all these multiverses into a cell in a leaf in another universe and start all over again by just scaling things in this other universe up a bit?

If we'd accepted received wisdom and kept our minds closed about the exploration of outer space, we'd still have Galileo in jail!

Because of even smart folk being too dumb to meditate, there hasn't been much exploration of inner space in the West. Well done to Prahlad Jani for letting the flatheids check him out!

Hotboy!

What the freak is the point of that chap who lies in bed for 5 days not doing anything? Would you send him in to bat against the Aussies? No, you wouldn't. Would you send him down to the meadow when your cow was having difficulty giving birth? No, you wouldn't. Would you ask him to come up with a cure for your leprosy? No, you wouldn't. Where would we all be if everyone did buggger all like that chap? We'd all be worms or less.

Thanks for the link to the video. I'll watch it if I ever have 2 minutes to spare.

Rodz: Are you another flatheid? Piss off! We've got enough flatheids commenting on this bloggy already. Anyway, the video is for people who think they know something. And to make flatheids realise the stupidity of walking around with your head stuck up your backside.

Presumably they used time lapse photography to get 70 years into a 2 minute video.
