There ain't nothing to ponder here;
I took a blue gel-soft pill that I got from Wal Mart to help me sleep last night, my eyes closed, I went on a date with a tall stunning latin woman; when I woke up, my Genitals told me that I had seen her,,,,,It Was Real !


.............now get back to stropping.....

I think unit's idea of stropping his Dorko may have influenced your nocturnal imagery!
j/k!

You better get back on topic, before we get in trouble ....

So...we're not really here? If not, are we in multiple locations simultaneously?

I seem to always be "here". People talk about "there", but I they're talking about their "there", because when I try to get to their "there", I still seem to end up "here". It used to bother me, but I've since come to the conclusion that it is neither "here" nor "there".

So, you're here, and I'm there, or I'm not there at your here, nor am I here where it's your there, then you can't be here not there either. I know! We're both someplace else!

"NOTHING is observable...only the effects are observable."

If 'nothing' is 'no thing', then it cannot be observable because there is nothing there to be observed.

If 'nothing' is 'no thing', then it has no effects because no cause is there to have an effect.

It follows that if you don't perform an initial pass, you cannot perform a second pass.

No thing can be observed through observing the lack of thing. If effects are observable, then there exists something which is observable - effects. Now if we just define each observable effect as a thing and a thing as an effect, then every thing is observable.

I think...

This is way too confusing for me! I'm going back to my Pro Fusion.
