Thay article "do fish suffer" is interesting. I have family who are vegetarians but thought eating fish was ok because we think fish don't feel pain. Or thought they dont. I heard there is a theory that the fact we can think words in or head or talk to ourselves in our own head. That has something to do with telekinesis. In one of the original planet of the apes movies the humans who went underground learned to speak without talking. Kinda like that first episode of star trek with the aliens that have huge brains.

142Panpsychism - a philosophy with a future
by slimboyfat inat one time scientists believed that living things and non-living things were made of different material, accounting for the unique properties of living things.
this idea is called vitalism and is no longer popular.
what does remain popular (in fact is still the dominant view) is a similar idea that things that experience the world (humans, frogs, mice) are different from things that don't experience the world (potatoes, rocks, snowflakes).

Not sure if he wrote anything about the bible. He wrote science fiction (i-robot) he came up wih the 3 laws of robotics which i-robots is about. Most is non fiction is for dumb people like myself can understand. Michio is a nut, his book "physics Behind The Impossible" talks about creating a death star. Not exactly how star wars does it but, using a collapsing star and turning the black hole into a weapon essentially. -

What is the benifits to living forever?
by Jayk incan anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..

I posted to get different perspectives and that's also a good point. We really couldn't understand the benifits we can only speculate. My concern is "doing everything" I would go explore the cosmos.. thats the only thing I would find "enlightening"

I was gonna say earlier, that even 900 years is a long time. Imagine being born 900 years ago and still being alive today..kinda reminds me of the movie "interview with a vampire" it really puts into perspective living forever (and killing for your food) so subjecting anyone else to that you might want to pick someone you can stand for all eternity.
