Is Nigel a looney?

[Englishman2010]

I voted No Nigel I actually pressed the wrong button, but it's been counted now

Keep up the great posts Nigel, they are always very amusing and make me chuckle

TBH, I agree with some of the psychology stuff you have posted, I've spent the last 20 years in the sales industry and have read a lot about psychology and the law of attraction...etc. Whatever the mind of man can perceive, he can achieve...etc. Lots of good stuff from Antony Robbins, Paul McKenna, Brian Tracey, Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar....etc............but I'm still not convinced we are all jellyfish

[Sim11UK]

Yep!

Napoleon Hills book...Think & grow rich, is very 'law of attraction'. Try reading that one Nigel.

[Steve.r]

Yep also,

Absolutely raving Nigel, but you're a nice chap.

[Arthur Little]

... you're not influenced by the moon ... are you, Nigel!? 'Coz the moon "doesn't exist"!

[dontpushme]

Is that a trick question?

Antony Robbins, Paul McKenna, Brian Tracey, Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar....etc............but I'm still not convinced we are all jellyfish

i think Nigel is the only one who voted 'no'
i met Tony Robbins many years ago, he is a giant

[Terpe]

Despite joining in the fun of the threads.
I Voted NO

Why? You may be suprised and maybe interested.

I did some research

nigel is not a looney.

Just enthusiastic.


The 'holographic universe' is a coined term to describe a potential structure of the universe.

The book by Michael Talbot, mentioned in this thread is a writing based upon the theories and the work of physicist David Bohm and neurophysiologist Karl Pribram.

The basic principles are here:

Latest news on the research here:-

It's not a philosophical issue as such. It's really all about Gravitational Physics and how to bring together quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of gravity.

It's actually impossible to prove one way or another but there is plenty of money and plenty of research big brains involved in an attempt to realise Einstein's dream of combining the laws of the universe in one theory.

Interesting Stuff! For some.

[sars_notd_virus]

YES,u are a goody looney Nigel



..i like ur positivity in life and being a big thinker,u will not have Alzheimer’s Disease in the future as u always get ur brains working..lol
Oh well,.. i always thought that 'only us women' got a super-highway brain waves but u prove me wrong

[stem298]

voted yes ? base on your blank thread ..peace

more like an extermist

[jimeve]

raving looney

[raynaputi]

yes..but i think people here won't end up noticing/liking him if he's not ..so all's good with nigel..

[nigel]

All I will say at this stage boys and girls is

"Do you know that people once believed the world was flat?...hehehe silly people!"

Maybe soon we will be saying

"Do you know people once believed the world is physical? ...hehehe silly people!"

[KeithD]

Well the Universe is flat

[bornatbirth]

i voted yes

is the royal family really lizards too?

[JimOttley]

Well the Universe is flat

Now I'm amazed that one didn't start a war boss

Anyway I couldn't vote in this poll as I am in a superposition of quantum states where both answers are true and false at the same time

[aposhark]

I voted that he is a looney, only because the other answer was even more ludicrous

He seems a nice bloke, a bit off the wall at times, but always interesting.

A sort of bloke to have a chat in the pub, although I don't drink anymore as I'm too busy with work and family.

That sounds scary, Joe

A common assumption in the philosophy of mind is that of substrate-independence. The idea is that mental states can supervene on any of a broad class of physical substrates. Provided a system implements the right sort of computational structures and processes, it can be associated with conscious experiences. It is nor an essential property of consciousness that it is implemented on carbon-based biological neural networks inside a cranium: silicon-based processors inside a computer could in principle do the trick as well.

What more can one say?

I'm not going to pretend I understand that..

[nigel]

I think the reptilian theory has derived from the missing link in evolution...I am NOT a believer in the theory! I am NOT!

But this vid convinced me that the thinking is not all that silly..

[nigel]

It's these experts that are looneys...

I do hope they don't get paid more than me!
