Primordial Soup With Julia Child

I was told Julia had to drink almost a whole bottle of wine before she could go on camera due to camera fright. Does anyone know if this is really tru? If so plz let me know. I love Julia NO matter what! She was one damn fine chef. :)

I love you Julia! She is so beautiful and smart! I feel like we are the same person! Both strong, smart and capable women for sure! And I love her recipes! Miss you!

The problem with McTaggart's view is that at its root it is philosophical which causes an observer problem. We are of limited scope. We have ego and stuff like that. Yes, you can take enough psychedelics to surmount ego (or at least believe you do) but can you actually pull enough of that data back into your limited meat space to make it meaningful to anyone else?  I've not yet seen it done.

McTaggart is paraphrasing a bunch of stuff from Terrance McKenna (a guy who ate a lot of mushrooms and was really into end of the world scenarios like 2012) It's all based on a weird fusion of judeo-christian believes with far East mysticism.

People like Dr. Hawkings have addressed this philosophical conundrum with some potential mathematical models of pre-time conditions.

I present the scoping problem as a philosophical counterpoint to consider.

Terrance McKenna annoys me. The problem with a divine watchmaker is a scoping problem. Assert a consciousness created the universe. Now you must explain the origin of that consciousness. Even if it's extradimensional you've only changed the scope of the problem to the container dimension. Even if the container dimension has different rules that allow it to spontaneously create, that means there is still a set with spontaneous creation so ultimately the watchmaker concept fails.

I have one and only one question about this video.

Is this John Lithgow in drag?

Julia is the bomb! Ok, all you scientists wave your hands and argue. This is a darned clever video.

WOW this video is AMAZING!

She was so smart! and I LOVE the knife as a pointer!!!

I bet if you used a knife as a pointer in a class or meeting that you'd have a LOT more people paying attention to your presentation.

McTaggart's work isn't about the origin of life, but has implications on that topic, IMHO. It's not my job to convince you. If you want to check it out you will, because you have an open mind (or not).
I'm only saying I am skeptical about abiogenesis. I am inclined to an alternate view - that there is a deeper dimension to reality than the materialist science we are presented with by the establishment (medical, education, economic, ...), which deeper dimension has to do with interconnectedness.
