Assuming panpsychism [P] is a thing, we need to work out its appearance in life. For now, let’s call it an instinct, a built in fact of life as a source of behaviors. P would fall in line with other instincts of primordial times from 4.2 billion years ago.

From your description, this makes a whole lot of sense now. Thank you! *now if I was only 50 years younger . . .

I wuvs her! Thank you for sharing her spirit. 😍

It's a messy science with much dependent on one's interpretation. Which we know is never biased. Not even a teeny, tiny bit.

Oh! Do draw a picture of what ninja Mouse looks like!

Thought experiment. Any one game?

If evolution occurred in, and stayed in Zero-G, what behaviours would evolve?

Did Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens speak the same language?

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, so foreign a concept to my way of thinking. It's like, why bother attending? But, Mouse could easily scamper up to the altar without being noticed!

Oh, wow! Fantastic! Thank you! Thank you! You are a very good artist! And, now I understand the layout. The big open space of the quire, no seating?, confused me. It's like the congregation is in it's own world, facing the wrong way. I want the action to be closer, and not so distant.

Ah, ok.

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 1d

There is a trend how main stream science doesn't take kindly to change. E.g., I like the theory that dinosaurs evolved from birds, rather than the other way around. Has it gained any acceptance? Hmmm . . .

At least a couple of them are now no longer amongst the living.

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 1d

Well, not really ok, but the United States is way past being under established moral or legal code.

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting, because in olden days, I would have imagined the darker striations to be a different colored sand. Huh.

It is happy indeed! Clear skies. Stars and a hint of moon shining. Massimo Agostinelli playing guitar.

It's the effort that counts. Don't know why this church's layout confuses my poor brain.

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 1d

Oh! Oh! I eagerly await the answer.

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 1d

Interesting observation you have. New information makes it nearly impossible to keep up with.

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 1d

Even better.

Thank you for the reply. Um, yeah, I noticed there was a certain notable male scientist listed, but surely it had nothing to do with you being a woman. Right?

I wondered about the massacre interpretation, as it seemed really odd such an event occurred. My psych perspective was rattled by it.

Bill Reagan @billreagan16.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you. Thank you! Even if you could climb up to the rafters for a photo of the floor layout, that would suffice.
