Science catches up to the New Sun

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

yeah, seriously. One of these days I'll have to buy the lectures.
of course, that video clip was truncated and foreshortened. some of the stuff he was getting at "the fruit that contains it's seed" was given extremely hasty treatment. That stuff blew my mind in the longform video I saw.  Only place I've ever bumped into that Geometric Metaphors For Life video was West Side Video in Santa Cruz back in the mid nineties.  Thanks to the web I was able to track it down again.  Stan Tenen is onto something very profound, I think.  It's a bit tough because I'm fairly well out of my waters in that realm, so it's hard to judge his accuracy and such.  The level of encoding that this suggests seems, to my mind, beyond mere human construct, beyond mere subconscious channeling.  mindfuckingly huge implications.
Glad you checked into it a bit.
