  • nice way of making an extra buck (and increase your popularity), but I don't know how a scientist like Leonard could work with someone like deepak chopra... its like the old debate about teaching evolution and creationism in the class... we know that one is complete nonsense.

  • @GodTheHypothesis

    More drivel. Stop spouting inane rubbish and go meditate

  • @MrGunwitch

    Oh ok. Please send me a video tape of yourself surviving a fall out of a tall building then since you don't believe in the objective law of gravity. You need to rethink your position as you don't currently deserve to own a computer that depends on the objective laws of quantum electro-dynamics.

  • @GodTheHypothesis

    Babble.

    Everything is subjective, viewed through the lens of your own consciousness. There is no such thing as objectivity.

  • @MrGunwitch

    Clearly you aren't rational. Keep looking inside for answers and see how few of them are objectively verifiable.

  • @GodTheHypothesis

    Clearly you aren't a meditator. Keep looking outside for answers and see how far that gets you.

  • @MrGunwitch

    I have meditated a lot. It teaches you absolutely nothing about the nature of reality, just the capabilities of the human brain. If you go into any situation with some kind of religious belief, you'll likely manage to convince yourself it's true. Unfortunately, someone with a different belief will also convince themselves. In reality, the human brain looks to support beliefs it already holds. In science, this is a dishonest way of doing things.

  • @GodTheHypothesis

    Words are mere abstractions. Go meditate for about ten years and see for yourself

  • @MrGunwitch

    The scientist who bases his opinions on things that have evidence is further off on 'reality' than the guy who basically makes things up? Hmmmm. Interesting definition of reality.

  • Both Leonard and Deepak are on the wrong track, although Deepak is actually closer to the truth of reality.
