Or dare I say, too little interest in understanding?

Actually I already gave evidence that the time vary from person to person therefore time
is an illusion that only seems to be real as the human march take place.

That wasn't evidence. That was the phenomenon you were tasked with explaining. Jeezus you are screwed up. You can't tell the question from the answer. Why don't you try to provide a real answer for why time seems to go slow sometimes and fast other times besides the assertion you farted out of your ass. Saying it's an illusion doesn't answer the question, dumbass. It's just a claim. And it doesn't even answer the question.

Since I didn't try to answer the question, that you thought I came up with anything at all shows you're screwed up. Maybe wait for me to provide an answer before criticizing the answer that I didn't give. It will make you look a little less stupid.

It occurred to me the other day that Little Rik's problem really is his lack of imagination. He only permits himself to imagine certain things. Other thoughts are impermissible. His imagination is hobbled by the dogmatic crap he believes. He can't permit himself to step outside of it. That to him is the worst. The possibility that the things he's been fed are wrong. He is not permitted to be wrong about anything because of his dogmatic beliefs. We can risk being wrong about god. He cannot. His lack of imagination really is his defeat. You notice how he accuses us of all the things he's guilty of: dogma, lack of imagination, the corruption of religion. It's a defense mechanism against letting slip the possibility of doubt about his own beliefs. Everything bad that he says about others is just a mirror of his own faults.

If only physicists could harness his power of projection, we could use it to send ships to explore the furthest galaxies.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

The passage of time does NOT vary from person to person.

What varies is our memory of time.  In times of focus, we more actively process information, leaving a "denser" timeline in the memory that in retrospect seems as though time was passing quickly.

The problem with you is that you have all these ideas that you take for granted, but too little interest or understanding of the science of brain/mind to actually know what you're talking about.  When you talk about these effects, you really need to provide links and to show that what you're saying is TRUE before you start using your ideas as support for other, even more poorly founded, ideas.


You fail badly son.  Banging Head On Desk

Suppose somebody torture you.
In that terrible time you are forced to focus on the suffering and your mind is in full focus
and the time is terribly slow.
It never goes.
You wish it goes but it does not.
It is just the opposite of the guessing you propose.
A denser timeline make the time go slow not quicker. Lightbulb

One more load of manure yog.  Banging Head On Desk

I am not the one who say that the consciousness is a product of the brain.
You guys are.
I am not the one who say that we are here with the consciousness that we have thanks to previous generations.
You guys are.
I am not the one who say that God if ever exist is a cruel nasty beings that allow the suffering.
You guys are.
I am not the one who say that the universe can well do without a God that run it. (parody excepted)
You guys are.
I am not the one who say that with the physical death is all over.
You guys are.

Yog, I could go on and on with all the garbage-guessing that you guys spout day after day which could be
thrown in the garbage bin by an independent jury.
Get real yog.  Banghead

It is you guys that need to look in the mirror and realize how wrong you are.  Wink

RE: Your lack of imagination is your defeat
Maybe you need to find us an independent jury then. Have one in mind? Because I'm pretty confident any independent jury would throw everything you've ever said in the bin.

How do we go about finding one? What counts as independent?

One that agrees with him, obviously.
