Because you add meaning, stories and past associations to everything you look at. A child who has barely had any past experience will find his colourful plushie as interesting as the shit that comes out of him. And it he gets his hand on that shit, I bet you he will try to eat it too. Similarly if walk into the Amazon forest for the first time and see a colourful frog, you will probably want to get closer to photograph it until someone warns you to keep your distance because the frogs sprays a poison that could burn your skin. So yes survival and past experience will determine for you what is good or bad, beautiful or ugly.

Assumption 1: So once upon a time there was the Big Bang, and then matter coalesced bringing together planets and stars. Then organic life came about that gave rise to brains and nervous system. The brain then gave rise to Consciousness. Consciousness then fragmented into a mind of thoughts. Thoughts gave rise to an idea of “Self”. This self then questioned the nature of itself and its reality, and concluded that since I think with my brain, therefore I am only conscious because of my brain. Assumption 2: Consciousness Is. Consciousness fragments itself to create duality. Universal mind is born (Big Bang). This mind further fragments itself to create universal laws, (spacetime, gravity, matter) all three of these work in harmony with each other to organize and produce a system that gave rise to organic life. But all this is still fragmented mind that rose from Consciousness. The subatomic particle made of energy is still a fragmented mind. Bring together bundles of energy, and you give rise to more stuff formed of mind. Stars and planets and moons. But these are not separate things, it’s all universal mind. It’s only separate in the mind of a thinker like You and Me. We can fragment the Universe, we can divide the solar system. Invent more divisions, so a single planet like Earth becomes an endless array of organized Holons. This is what the limited mind wants to do. It wants to divide and sub-divide as much as possible, unaware that it is just further fragmenting Itself into more and more parts. We separate our minds from other minds, from what is out there, from our parents and our pets and that spider on the wall and that tree out there. But it’s not enough, my own mind can be fragmented further into Self and thoughts and feelings and sensations. All this fragmenting is way too much and way too far gone from its ultimate origin of Universal mind. So much that your universal mind only becomes an idea, an entertaining thought... unless eventually experienced first-hand.

Thanks for the pointers. I will give these thought experiments a go on my next one. Can’t remember if I watched that episode, but will listen to it. Thanks

I’d like to start this off by mentioning that I’m a 40 year old dude who has never before done any substances before not even weed. So this is my first ever experience on a single gram of mushroom, and BOY-OH-BOY !! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE IT WAS !! So I hope you enjoy this trip as much as I did. I should add that I’m a fairly skinny individual; I probably weight around 125/130 pounds and I’m 5’7 - So that may be the reason why just a single gram had this effect on me. Having no trip experience before, I really did not know what to expect. Few other things to mention before I start; and all this is important to give you an idea of where I live (for set and setting) - I live on the 33rd floor of a high rise with large windows with an unobstructed south facing views of the city, with lake Ontario visible far off in the distance. There’s a park directly beneath my building (visible to me) with a few other buildings in the vicinity. I was mainly in the living room of my condo unit during this experience. I have a large 60 inch 4K TV (this too is important to mention) situated a few feet in front of the sofa in my living room. Last thing to mention is that I’m a photographer by profession, that started as a hobby where I mostly photographed in nature. So my love for nature and photography go hand in hand. ----- So I took the 1 gram mushroom dose in tea form that I steeped and drank within a span of 15/20 mins as I switched on the TV to YouTube, and was watching and listening to some clips of Leos (the new short clips, he recently released) on YouTube. Onset: As the mushroom starts to take effect; at first I don’t quite like the experience. I feel light headed, sort of nauseated like I’m drunk, so I sit back on the sofa cross legged with an off white blanket wrapped around me. For some reason I can’t stand listening to Leo anymore, so I use the remote to switch to something else, and this is only because of the dizziness I started to experience on the onset. I did a search for “Nature 4K” on YouTube and clicked on a video of a rushing waterfall in a forest thumbnail that was one of the results that came up. Best fukin video ever!! and I’m so glad I clicked on this one. (I've added the link below) A few mins into the onset and now I’m starting to feel funny. And I literally mean funny. At first it started with a few random giggles that slowly started to escalate into full blown hysterical fits of laughter for no apparent reason. This surprised me. After-all I had no reason to laugh, unless I'm seeing something funny or someone told me a hilarious joke. But not while just watching a 4K nature video play out on the TV. ----- The Magical Forest: The laughter now started to come in waves. I just felt like laughing and so I let loose and just laughed my ass off for absolutely no apparent reason, as I walked through this incredible forest on my TV, while sitting of my sofa with a blanket wrapped around me. I don't think I’ve ever laughed this hard. It was fuckin Amazing !! So I’m still watching this beautiful forest video, as the camera man is walking on this winding path through the forest, and I pretend it's me. There's some beautiful music playing in the background of the video, it's green everywhere with a play of light and shadow, and slowly I'm starting to realize how amazing this forest looks. Almost Heavenly. I tell myself there is no way such a beautiful forest exists on this planet. It's like another world, like a new planet that we discovered recently, with such an amazing blend of colors and greens and light. I could see myself living there, like a woodland creature, and I’d be the happiest person ever, just to be there. The fits of laughter I was having continued, as I kept walking through this Ethereal forest, completely taken in by its beauty. In some of the scenes I was walking through this muddy slushy area of the forest, that I would normally try to avoid these areas if I was actually there, but suddenly it all seemed perfect. It was perfect just as it was. The slushy mud, the toppled down and uprooted trees. There were no longer any imperfections in this forest that I would usually try to avoid photographing. But now it all seemed indescribably perfect, like this was heaven. This was definitely heaven. Such a beautiful forest could not exist here on earth. I kept laughing and telling myself how beautiful it was and I wish I was actually there with my camera to capture how beautiful it was. I was envious of this cameraman who got to experience this first-hand. By now I was laughing so much I had tears streaming down my face. I was laughing at what I was feeling; waves of happy euphoria. I was laughing at how beautiful nature is, the way the sunlight touched the ferns and reflected in a dazzling blend of greens and yellow and wood and dirt and it was all magical and beautiful and ethereal and heavenly. ----- The Grand Chasms: A few more mins in … maybe 30 mins in the laughter started to die down, but the smile on my face stayed on. I was gleefully grinning like a kid on Christmas morning knowing he is going to be opening up his presents. The dizziness I was feeling started to go away as well. But I knew I wasn’t fully steady, so I remained seated on the sofa, and I got more comfortable in my seating. I’m still watching the video, cause I’m completely entranced and caught up in the mesmerizing nature of this forest, when I started to notice that the ground and grassy area of the forest seemed to move and come alive. So I moved my eyes away from the screen for a bit and looked at the blanket that was wrapped around me. This blanket was just an ordinary wooly type blanket that I use when I’m usually meditating daily. But now it didn’t seem so ordinary anymore. Since I had my knees folded up to my chest with the blanket around me, I could clearly see the neatly woven lines of yarn of the blanket that rose up. Normally this is not something anyone would notice, its just a fuckin blanket for petes sake. But now suddenly these stood out like chasms, like I was literally staring into another landscape in another world. As the blanket morphed itself around the curves of my legs, it seemed to take on another worldly quality, like an entire land mass was resting around my body. And as the soft wooly bits of yarn rose up and out of the blanket they seemed like tall trees and land masses with mountains and valleys, that someone like myself could shrink into and get lost into another blanket world. This thought and the clarity of the experience blew me away !! I looked away from the blanket back to the forest on my TV screen still playing the background and paused the video. But as the image stayed paused on this beautiful scene, it took on a three dimensional quality of depth, and it seemed like the video was still playing, like the ferns and leaves were moving. I looked at my ceiling, and suddenly I was transported into another world again. The ceiling in my condo is called a “popcorn ceiling” if you’re not familiar with the term then look it up. I hate how it looks because it's not like a normal smooth plain ceiling, but rough and jagged like someone took some white chunky peanut butter and spread it out across the ceiling. Apparently it helps with keeping noise down between floors. So I look up at the ceiling and suddenly the rough texture took on a whole otherworldly quality. Just like the vast rocky mountains in my blanket, the ceiling transports me into another grand canyon of gorges and deep clefts, and again I felt like I could shrink down into this tiny ant sized human and explore my ceiling for days and I would wander between mountains and valleys carved out between these huge boulder sized chunks of chalk and styrofoam. I kept staring at the ceiling and it seemed to morph and blend into these tiny honeycomb like crevices. This ceiling that I always ignored and disliked, now seemed almost otherworldly and an invitation for exploration. By now I of course figured out that my senses were starting to sharpen, as I’ve read from other people experiences. So I took my hand out from under the blanket and bought it close to my face, and BHAM !! Another fucking world to explore !! ----- Heightened Sense Perceptions: As I looked at my hand, I started to see it in a whole new light. Every ridge of my fingers stood out tack sharp, like I’ve never ever seen it before. I could clearly see the fingerprints on the tip of my fingers, every single curve and ridge and arch and loop, stood out like mountain ridges that ran for miles across my hand and my fingers, like some satellite imagery from space. This was literally another fucking world. MY HAND WAS ANOTHER FUCKIN WORLD, ANOTHER CONTINENT !!! Again I’m blown away by what I’m seeing in my own fuckin hand, like I could literally take a spaceship and fly deep down into palm of my hand and explore another world. As I looked closer I had a sense of aliveness within my hands. Like every single millimeter of it had some form of secret alien life within it that was working and shaping my hand and carving out these lines and ridges and exploring them !! GOOD GOD !! (I started to understand why Leo keeps talking about looking at your hand and experiencing it for what it is) By now I’m completely immersed into the whole experience. I’m smiling, I’m happy inside, I’m experiencing this brand new level of immersion and depth that almost seems dream-like, but so very real, that I was just not sure what to make of all of this. I started to understand now. Finally !!! There's the waking state, there’s the dreaming state, and then there is this strange psychedelic state - strange for me, but I’m sure quite normal of some who have experienced it many times. This was new to me and I was fuckin loving every moment of it. By now I was feeling less light headed, but also excited to explore. It's like anything and everything I looked at with a noticeable texture reminded me of another world. I was literally seeing whole undiscovered regions and continents within my own living room. I decided to get up and look out my window, and oh man !! What can I say? I wasn’t on fuckin Earth anymore. It’s like without realizing it I had walked into a parallel universe that opened up inside my living room. As I looked out my window, I almost felt like crying. Everything was as it was. The buildings were there, the park was there, the cars zipping by, but the play of light and colors, made it feel completely different. I know that it was just my own vision and perception that was heightened, but the way the light danced outside my window, it was as if daylight took shape and form and danced around the buildings and on the park, over the lake and in the distance. Like it was a happy light and it was glad to show off its colors as it reflected and moved through the trees and the buildings and road. I stared outside the window for a while completely baffled and mesmerized by how everything looked. But more important than that was how I was feeling at the same time. I was feeling happy and light-hearted. I had this feeling that everything was going to be okay and I had absolutely nothing to worry about. A storm was brewing in the distance as I was taking in this whole scene out my window and I was telling myself that this had to be the most beautiful storm system I had ever seen in my life. So I pulled out my phone and placed it on the window sill and did a time-lapse video of the event with the camera looking out the window (I still have that video, showing the storm clouds moving across the sky). By now I started to feel some hunger come on. I had some snacks that I thought I’d eat, this was basically some cashews and pistachios. And as I was tasting these nuts, it tasted like the most delicious cashews and pistachios I’ve ever tasted. It tasted the same, but the taste was heightened ten fold. I also had a packet of some left over chips and I bought those out and I looked at this one chip and again I’m seeing the texture of this chip like its a whole continent that need to be explored, and I put this continental chip in my mouth and bit into it and the flavor was so intense, I had to sigh in pleasure. But now I was over an hour and half into the experience and I was feeling that it was starting to wear off, which was disappointing, because I was really enjoying the experience and wanted it to last forever. So there you have it. I realize that there was no mystical experience, as it was mainly visual and experiential in the sense that I was happy as I've ever been in my life. I have some questions that I hope some of you more experienced can answer: 1) I have two more tea bags and was wondering if I should just do a 2 grams, next time (steep both tea bags) - I'm not sure how intense that would be for me, given that I live on my own? 2) How do I minimize the nauseated feeling on the Onset? 3) What else can you recommend I do during the trip to intensify the experience? Thanks for reading YouTube vid I was watching during the trip:

Noted !!. if a gram can have this much effect. I can't imagine what a higher dose would do

This video explains it nicely ... https://youtu.be/yjejZWUByL4

It would be harder to go to bed an hour earlier and wake up an hour earlier. Start slow and stick with the plan so your body can adjust to the change. Go to bed 15 to 30 mins earlier for a week, ensuring you’re not stimulated prior to bedtime... wake up 15/30 earlier. Work your way up to an hour or more if you need to slowly. it also helps if you’re tired before you go to bed. This means getting a lot of sun time during the day walking / running outside for 15/30 mins / exercising. Essentially getting close to 10,000 steps or more everyday

? I’m not laughing cause it’s not true. I’m laughing cause you included Leo

There is nothing wrong with looking and investing in these avenues to meet your survival needs (for now and in the future) I’m very much into spirituality and self actualization, but none of these would’ve been my interests if I was constantly worrying about money and surviving. So if securing your future will give you some peace of mind then by all means do it. Then go back to abiding in your Awareness. As long as you’re living on this planet you need to plan for your future, your retirement and your survival. Don’t make it your only focus and attention to the point that you forget about what really matters. But it’s ok to stroke your ego here and there

I’m in the process of reading “The Book of Not Knowing” by Peter Ralston. Oh man it’s not an easy book to read or swallow. But I’m slowly reading it anyways. So here’s my dilemma: I get what he is saying about letting go of your beliefs and being more welcoming of direct experience. So now what does that mean for me going forward? Do I unsubscribe from Science? Do I start believing that the earth is flat because that is my direct experience? Does it matter now to even bother reading an interesting article in a science journal about quantum teleportation? I realize that if I am fascinated by any of these subjects then I am surely believing what is being told to me without actually experiencing it directly. Does that mean I should now go out of my way to directly experience all of this? Gotta start saving up for that trip to outer space.

Only your limited idea and version of God/Love/Truth exists. When you have to label it, you automatically limit it. When you question why is needs to exist then you don’t understand it’s unlimitedness. Fact is God/Love/Truth does not exist. A table exists, This world exists. God/Love/Truth just IS. Existing implies non-existing. God/Love/Truth are forever and infinite.

Sure both you and your friend will see a tree because you call it a “tree” then you go further in your judgement of that tree by saying it’s either beautiful or ugly. The reality is that independent of your mind and your thoughts there is actually no such thing as a “tree”, but of course that does not discount the fact there there is this huge gigantic green leafy thing sticking out of the ground that we humans have called a “tree”.. So what are you looking at when you look at a tree? The fact of the matter is you’re looking at your own self. That can be said no matter where you look, and with whatever sense apparatus is doing the perceiving. The tree along with everything perceived cannot exist without consciousness to understand and make sense of this reality configuration. Also notice that when you scan your environment you do not scan individual objects. You scan a multitude of objects, all at once, all the while your ears are picking up various sounds and your nose is picking up various smells. This is your consciousness unfolding before you like a living, dynamic painting. As this painting unfolds, the minds jumps in and begins a process of segregating and labeling and identifying and giving meaning. In reality everything is made of Consciousness. This Consciousness is not your Consciousness that is independent of your friends Consciousness. This Consciousness is You and it is also your friend. There is just the one Consciousness that is shared. You can say it’s “one” thing. But once you get there and understand it’s just one thing. Drop the “one” and drop the “thing” and it just IS, it’s You, it’s the Uni-verse. ... It’s pure Silence.

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, with the exception of these life incidents that throw me off and make me feel like an idiot. STORY TIME: Last week when I was driving home, I had to brake hard to avoid hitting another vehicle that abruptly stopped in front me. The reason the vehicle in front of me came to a halt was due to a silly goose crossing the street. Fortunately I was able to brake in time and avoided a collision with the vehicle. However the person behind me was not able to brake in time and collided with my vehicle. Now I'm fairly level headed and I'm not someone who gets annoyed easily, and I was able to keep my cool and even felt some sympathy for the individual who hit me, understanding that if I was in her situation, I would have probably collided as well. So when this lady collided with me; I had some feelings of annoyance creep up alongside some feelings of remorse and decided on the spot that I would stay positive about this experience and deal with it calmly. even through I was feeling some stress because I hate getting into these situations. Who does? So we both pulled over to inspect the damage, It wasn't anything major, just a cracked rear bumper on my vehicle with very little damage to the vehicle that hit me. I figured the cost of the damage would be negligible on my vehicle - and this is where I went wrong !! Now on situations like this, the proper procedure would be to exchange information such as Insurance, contact, take photos etc, but as all this was happening I wasn't thinking straight. The lady who hit me suggested that we exchange numbers and I should then let her know the cost of damage etc and we would deal with it that way. Like an idiot I agreed and went along with it, I completely trusted her with no ounce of mistrust on my part. We parted ways and then a few minutes after getting back inside my vehicle it hit me like a ton of bricks, that I was too quick to simply trust her. WHAT THE HELL !! I know the process !! I'm familiar with it, but yet when it happened, it completely threw me off and now i feel like an idiot. I realize she got away with this and is probably grinning all over because she played well and i easily trusted her. The end result of all this: After taking it to the bodyshop to get it inspected it is going to cost me close to $1500 (Canadian) to get it fixed up - Replacing the cracked bumper, labour, sensors, and Rental for 3 days of work. I texted her the estimate and now she is gone all silent, ignoring my calls and text, and not cooperating in the matter to try and resolve this. I am blaming myself for not doing due diligence, for letting her play me, and for my failure to think through the situation as it was happening. I can understand that when these things happen it can be really stressful and it is during these times that I fail to think clearly and do what is necessary and end up getting myself into more of a jam. I also know that if the roles were reversed, and I ended up hitting her, I would fully cooperate with her to get the matter resolved. So it bothers me that people still feel no empathy and fail to take any responsibility in doing the right thing. Fuckin sucks !!

I can go to the dollar store and buy close to 50 things with $50 - considering the tax as well. Maybe groceries for a few days to a week. But if I handed the same $50 to a beggar, their face would light up, and they probably thank me profusely and then go out and buy their next meal, perhaps save some for rainy day. So yes that $50 bill would mean a lot relatively speaking to who is holding it. I have 3 $50 bills in my wallet right now. So together they add up to something better. I may consider buying something extra this thanksgiving and giving it to someone in need

@Roy I swerve to avoid hitting squirrels and cats that cross my path here in Toronto. Thankfully haven't hit any of them or else I'd be devastated. Hope I never do. @Pretty As much as I want to be vigilant of everyone, I want to believe that people can be good and decent and do the right thing. Going back to those moments when I had to deal with her, I really not sure why I just believed that she would do the right thing. I usually am more vigilant than this. So the fact that I didn't take the necessary steps to protect my ass in this case, is still eating me up inside. @Average Investor This is a brand new 2019 Mazda 3 I purchased in Feb this year, Not sure I will find a used bumper I can replace with. But good point. I can have a look. That would surely save me a ton. I am also considering connecting with a lawyer and letting her know that I will be filing a police report and will see her in court. Just to scare her a bit. Not sure how much that would help. I appreciate the responses. Even though I realize this is not the best place to post something like this. I hope it can still give people some perspective that as much as you might think you're evolved intellectually, and you want to trust the human race, and believe we are all in this together, that we can help each other out, trust each other, and do the right thing when the times comes. You still gotta be vigilant !! And protect your own ass first and foremost. I've learned a lesson, so in a sense its not all that bad. Things could've been worse. Cheers -Anthony

Torontonian here. I support Trudeau and voted for him. His handling of the pandemic definitely garnered him some more backing and support. However the recent scandal and his involvement with WE Charity, where he okayed a 900 million volunteer program with the organization raised a conflict of interest situation and got him into some hot water with the opposition. He is still a fairly young political candidate and is by no means the Perfect politician, he is making mistakes, and I'm sure he learning his lessons whist leading the Nation. He can learn a lot from Bernie and Canada (more than the US) might be in a better position with someone like Bernie. I agree with Roy (previous post) Not sure how the Conservatives and Andrew Scheer would have handled the situation. Scheer seems too selfish and old-school.

"The Great Reset" ... you may be hearing this phrase a lot these days, and its being thrown around like it a bad thing and its going to disrupt our lives, and create social chaos and Authoritarianism, which of-course no body wants. How do you guys think this is going to play out? Are you going to let it play out? OR resist this change? As stated on the WE forum website: "“The Great Reset” will be the theme of a unique twin summit in January 2021, convened by the World Economic Forum" You can read more about The Great Reset here: https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/ PLEASE NOTE: I did not create this Post to dive into a rabbit hole of Conspiracy Theories - I do not subscribe to any of those theories. This post is to get opinions from those more well-versed in this area, and in Politics in general and how this so called "Great Reset" will bring about new changes perhaps for the betterment of Humanity.

“The Prime Directive” (PD) is just a fancy term that is mostly never adhered to in the Star Trek Universe. While Picard was more stringent on following the PD- other Star Trek Captains like Captain Janeway from the Voyager series always interfered - Interference produced more interesting episodes IMO However there is one episode I recall from ST Enterprise series *** SPOILER ALERT *** where all married couples on a certain planet use a especially fertile Being to procreate. This Being is not treated quite as fairly as other normal Beings. They do not receive any education or freedoms enjoyed by the Elite, who are allowed to Procreate using these fertile Beings as a surrogate. In this episode this one couple brings along their potential surrogate with them aboard the Starship and it’s clear that the couple simply treats this surrogate like a fly on the wall. One of the crew members notices this and decides to interfere (breaking the PD rules) and converse with and educate the surrogate in private resulting in some interesting dialogue and implications for the couple. Without giving too much away, let’s just say the ending of the episode does not end well of either the couple, the surrogate and the crew member that interferes. In my opinion when walking the PD bridge, you have to thread carefully. You cannot dive in with radical new ideas and opinions that are completely alien to a given individual, culture, society, nation or planet, this will usually always be disastrous. Perhaps your guidance / interference needs to be a small step up from the level on which they stand. In other words don’t introduce Yellow spiral values to a predominantly Blue or Orange culture. And who’s to say that perhaps another extra-terrestrial species is not currently interfering in our own affairs? Screwing up sometimes and sometimes offering some valuable guidance. Time will tell.

Do you see any Orange in them? Nurture some Orange values and slowly introduce some green over time. I would start by making a healthy dish of Organic Vegetable Soup using Leo's Recipe ... That should purge the blue right out of them.

I’m not someone who is easily triggered. But after seeing this post from “I fucking Love Science” on my Facebook feed... I was pretty annoyed at how these folks think it’s a simple matter of publicizing this stunt and without thinking about the consequences (attached image of post in concern), while the post itself promotes the benefits of 5 MeO, it makes no mention of being cautious and respecting this psychedelic...

Hey Folks, I'd like to share some of the Spiral Dynamic series of videos and podcasts with a friend who uses an Android device. I can link up the YouTube videos and iphone podcasts, since I use an iPhone. But is there a way to obtain links to specific podcasts available on the Android Podcasts App?

Saturn from Sleeping At Last - The artist has other songs just as good, but this one is my favorite by far:

In the past I’ve thought a lot about “Empty Space” that exists all around us, inside us, and between planets and galaxies. Having read and watched numerous astronomy programs, I’m familiar with gravitational waves, the space time curvature of gravity, time dilation, the mystery of dark matter and dark energy and such topics. My inquiry relates very much to the nature of emptiness, the void, the space that surrounds us into which everything is contained. There are times when I feel that this space or emptiness has some viscosity, very much like a medium of sorts that fills up the entirety of existence. And as we move through this space we disturb it in a very silent, non-reactive sort of way. For example if I’m driving on the highway, I can almost feel the emptiness has this impalpable, but fluid like quality that surrounds my vehicle and flows around it, and the emptiness inside my vehicle moves along with me. In the past scientists referred to this as the “Aether” as they needed an explanation for how light could travel through the void of space, but as we know, no evidence was found of such an aether. However I strongly feel that this emptiness has to have a substance of sorts, albeit a substance of extremely low viscosity, but I’m sure many physicists would disagree with that thought. But then how would they explain how gravitational waves (through the merger of black holes) travel through the emptiness of space, if space is truly substance-less. How is this space being disturbed, how does a black hole or even a planet like ours curve the space around it to simulate gravity? Due to the very nature that space was “created” after the Big Bang, and just saying that it was created, postulates that it is very real - very physical - and it exists, but in an imperceptible way. Now having said that. May we also wonder if this space is actual? Does it actually exist or is it just something we have created in our heads to make sense of reality, to distinguish and to segregate physical objects, which would otherwise be extremely difficult to separate with our five senses? Perhaps space is an illusion, or perhaps I’m just deluding myself and space has always been here, even before the Big Bang, and it is a feature of Reality. What about the space in 3D virtual environments, such as video games and CGI. Do software designers use code to generate this space? What does that code look like? Apologies if this topic belongs in a more scientific forum, or is perhaps in the wrong section of this forum, but I just feel, there is something metaphysical in nature about this emptiness, like we’re definitely missing something. If you will, this could be considered a “meditation on the nature of spacetime”
