When you ignore a thing it disappears. Like, you stop seeing it. It disappears from your reality.
Paying attention / ignoring can become a habit.
And habits are basically invisible. So if you had a bunch of attention-controlling habits, slicing and dicing your reality like this, you’d never know it.
In all probability this is the case.
So there could be a thousand elves and ghosts dancing around and you’d never know it.
I’m taking it the wrong way.
You’ve got a guy who can see better. Deeper or clearer or whatever. The seeing is key here.
And the seeing can be improved and cultivated. So you see even deeper and clearer.
One of the first things seen is beauty. A really good look at beauty. So good that it can be used as a guide.
When you use beauty as your guide when manipulating a medium like music or drawing or words or whatever, you get beautiful results and people call you an artist.
When you take that seeing further, you see other things, and gain the ability to do other things. “Magic” and such.
Openscad has a slew of 2d. Polygons and such. Just plug in your xy data.
I don’t think it has the boolean constructive stuff for that tho.
Check out this little overview cheatsheet. It pretty much shows you what it can do.
Same here. Never found a 3d tool that went right. But openscad is straightforward. Zero to printable thing in an hour.
Code is a little weird but I’m getting a feel for it. That would be an interesting project, to make a better openscad code.

That’s the first counterargument on my mind too.
Me too. It’s called drafts. First draft, second draft, etc. It’s only natural that you will find bugs, think of better ways to say stuff, realize stuff. It’s organic and proper.
And he’s the moderator of “atheism”. Where’s the interest in the subject?
You’re a moderator of “atheism” but you don’t want to discuss it? Come on.
What did I fail to address? The “no the whole concept is just an excuse etc…” or “do you mean mind etc…?”?. Because neither fits the bill.
Come on, gimme something solid.
Also, are you into meditation?
What do you mean by soul?
What’s your argument? What’s your experience? I mean, we can investigate this stuff and meditation is pretty amazing.
So seriously. Gimme something substantial.
Would you like to discuss it?
“Attention” is a closer match.
Mind (or “intellect” if you like) is a play of attention upon thoughts.
Soul would be a kind of attention-body.
What do you mean by soul?
You probably don’t mean what I mean. I mean, there’s some overlap, but not precisely. It’s vague.
Surely some discussion is called for before condemning the whole concept.
All that is required is a shared experience, to talk about it. We do it all the time. This is such a case
We just don’t have a word for it, or something.
I’d call those terms synonymous with vibe.
A pattern of notes is a song. A pattern of words is a poem. A pattern of vibes/moods/timbres is a … what?
I think that the tune and lyrics point out the vibe, like a pointing finger. Like a memory address. I think that the vibe exists independently.
I believe it.
Replace “number of basketball passes” with the dozen really important things that we all must pay attention to as adult members of our modern society.
Replace “moonwalking bear” with the various species of ghost, elf, pixie, fairy, spirit and little people reported in ancient literature.
In stage magic they call it “misdirection”. I suspect that it comprises the backbone of our reality.
