They're related concepts, in that they're both rooted in a category error.

False equivalence: Elephants are herbivores, zebras are herbivores, therefore elephants are zebras.

Conflation: Elephants are herbivores, wolves are carnivores, but since both are mammals we can treat them identically.

Okay, much clearer now, THANK YOU sir! [emoji8]

You're very welcome, young lady.

Of course, I'm due to be corrected in 5...4...3...

No surprise here that the shit keeps getting deep with this one.

I find it very interesting that people use the terms "deep" and "heavy" when it comes to these topics.

Well, a metric ton of bullshit obviously takes up a bit of space, and weighs, well, a metric shit-ton.

Good to see you practicing your cherry-picking, though. Now I know a little more what to expect, I suppose.

A better analogy would have been the body's involuntary aspects in relation to god and the world.

And learning the math and models of quantum physics is not considered deep and heavy?

When's the last time you found a book on life after death and the fate of humanity in the lite-reading section?

Label, assume and expect at your own risk, you are only limiting your experience, not mine.

You do realize all three of those are the same thing, right?

I am guessing bookstores are quite inept at properly labeling reading materials.

After all, it is probably best to check out the science section than the hocus pocus section.

I've made no assumptions about you. Labels and expectations, on the other hand, are natural mental events, the hazards of which I'm aware, thanks.

Are they ephemeral considerations to you? Most life after death considerations include counter balance for all the good and bad you have done in your life.

I suppose you could take it lightly...free will and all that.
