This Doesn't Fit into Your Favorite Theory of Everything

Beautiful child. As is the music. In fact, I believe the piece is Clair de lune by Claude Debussy if I'm not mistaken. Jon O'Conor's rendition is perhaps my interpretation.

Nice Video TWJ :) I am starting to change my mind about the idea of dimensionless particles. I think your intuition is correct. my intuition that dimensionlessness was incomprehensible was clouded by the fact that they do behave as if they have no internal structure. but these views, I see now, are not neccessarilly incompatible...to be continued

@luvthatsoy

[SecularNumanist]

Infact, what can babies think about?

[Anglolund]

Congrads! Precious gift ! My kids loved Vide Cor Meum

[fleskebille]

@luvthatsoy I don't get it, why are you alive?

[tumbleweedjoe]

@luvthatsoy And if you consider my comments harsh and unfair, consider what you wrote on one of my earlier videos: "Personally I could never bring anyone into this world and I resent my parents for bringing me here, even though my life has been relatively easy I can still very easily make this statement. That life is a cruel imposition."

So you've had an easy life and you still think life sucks. Well boo hoo. It's not at all surprising. Suffering teaches love and you are truly spoiled rotten.

@tumbleweedjoe

joe, please dont try to convince this guy. the human race is better off with people like him out of the gene pool.

[tumbleweedjoe]

@luvthatsoy ...like you sulking and stalking around reminds me to take double care of my son. And if life is so meaningless, why is it that you nihilists think your own assessment of it is so important? You go around looking for happy people and try to undermine their happiness because you are miserable inside. How pathetic! Outside of your insular gray world luvthatsoy, there is a world of happy people living meaningful lives with God. You sit outside heaven and pout about life's challenges.

[JCJasion]

Ummmm - Beautiful.

[tumbleweedjoe]

@luvthatsoy Life is amazing and only cowards and blind fools fail to see it. Your philosophy of the world --which I initially thought was some kind of a joke when you conveyed it to me three videos ago--is pathetic and reflects your own cowardice before the demands of rational existence. How can you fail to see the beauty and glory of being alive, being able to know, to love, to be in service of a good cause, to choose, to enjoy and just to be? Frankly the fact that there are killjoys...

[SanieClaws]

Claire de Lune by Debussy....my favorite piano piece. Great video.

[tumbleweedjoe]

@shadowgeyser I prefer Man, Economy and State by Rothbard.

[Mechanized0]

@tumbleweedjoe Both books are certainly worthwhile intellectual challenges and pursuits.

[WalridgeWalrus]

Tell him to get a job already!

[jcrebel18]

Well, at least we all know you're not a complete reductionist. ;)

Thanks for sharing. :)

[cguevara12]

I often wonder, if I ever have kids, would I record a video and upload them on to youtube? Probably not.

[Mementomori690069]

Clair de lune, at least he'll have good taste in music.

[lizzlefly]

Who is this amazingly handsome boy of yours? I'd love to meet him sometime! ;)

[migkillertwo]

when do we get to read some noam chomsky daddy?

[tumbleweedjoe]

@migkillertwo Uggh...Hopefully never.

[migkillertwo]

your baby...has HUGE eyes!

[tumbleweedjoe]

@migkillertwo Yeah. You can get lost in those eyes.

[soultorment27]

The most meaningful aspects of life are ineffable.

[tumbleweedjoe]

@soultorment27 Yes. I was just thinking about the fact that my son already knows (before he even knows how to speak) to smile when he's happy and pout when he's not. He reacts to our expressions and tones of voice in the appropriate way. No doubt an anthropologist or biologist would "explain" this through chemistry and inheritance, but that kind of mechanical explanation misses the point. Why does a smile mean happiness? Why does anything mean what it does! It just extraordinary.

[davyjames]

@tumbleweedjoe Super cute baby but I don't know what your problem is with people theorising as to the origins of expressions and emotions etc.

[tumbleweedjoe]

@davyjames Umm...if you read the context of the comment that I made in reply to soultourment, you'll see that what I said is nothing like what you said I said.
