Could you post a synopsis? How do they define "mind"? Hans |

RE: And the reviewer is none other than R.C.Lopez.
Well, yes. that reviewer is ****** me: Ricardo Camilo Lopez, who Is not hiding from anything, anybody and apparently all you can do is robotically go about your ad hominem bs // __ Activist and Targeted Individual Camilo Lopez interview with Ella Free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDlW8DZREvo ~ RE: How do they define "mind"? What people had when they didn’t have cell phones, computers, “smart” TV sets . . . so they would not whine about the metabolism of their brains being abused because “they had to read” 2 pages (about one of the most vexing questions ever). I was amazed when I noticed the other day they had made “making people read” a human right abuse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego..._rights_abuses I mean, I chose not to give you the details about the actual truth of it (Vladimir Putin is behind all of that mind-body link business) . . . |

So the review is just a brief precis?
I'd like to know more about how we were able "to communicate just fine with anaerobic beings we had never seen before and which ecology we would have thought of as impossible, living under extreme physical conditions". What did we communicate to these creatures we discovered around deep-ocean volcanic vents, and what did they communicate to us? |

RE: What did we communicate to these creatures we discovered around deep-ocean volcanic vents, and what did they communicate to us?
What I can't quite understand (which is quite telling!) is that even those creatures reduced their communication to what seems to be the attention span acceptable for the metabolism of our brains even on their first ever communicative interchange with the fifth monkeys: just a two word sentence (less than 3!). Now, that was nice of them! Wasn't it? But we still don’t seem to be able to get it and the most hopeless part of it is that, great Lord!, our gadgets don’t seem to be that helpful either!

Seriously, dude, use the Quote button. It is your friend. Unless, of course, its function is entirely beyond your scope of ability.

Looks like he's been on a two day hiatus.
Or the NWO got him. |

Even if you have some good ideas in there, I missed them because I was trying to keep track of all the dependent clauses, bloody appositives, and parenthetical labyrinths. I'm verbose myself to a degree, but seriously, damn.
