What is "television"?
Is it an electronic box that displays encoded RF signals with a matrix of multicolored lights?
Well, yes.
But it is also decades of creative content, growing exponentially. A medium that has shown us images of things previously unimagined. Humorous sitcoms, classic theater, informative and manipulative news, education, idle brain candy, one of the major industries of the world that gives millions a way to live and express their lives, it's lifetimes of family unity, it's precious monents of romance between lovers, and sooo much more.
So I also ask, are humans just robotic meatbags, merely surviving on instinct?
Or is there a currently unmeasurable "signal" being decoded and projected through the biological device we call our bodies?
Did gravity exist before Newton?
I think aspects of "soul" and "spirit" are properties of the universe that we have just plain not scientifically discovered yet. maybe something happening on a sub-quantum or extra-dimensional level of the universe. Science has not discovered anything close to what's really happening. We may think we are sooooo freakin advanced here in 2014, but in 3014, 21st century science WILL seem like leeches & witch burning. That won't even be the pinnacle of scientific knowledge. What mankind knows in 12014 or 52014 will appear as pure "magic" today.
Just because you can't measure it, does not mean it doesn't exist.
And even though the material identity labeled by my proper name will cease to exist when this container expires, something will persist and move on to inhabit another material container with a fresh, clean memory and a new identity.
ok now who's gonna attempt to prove we are merely instinctual meatbags?
Who is so attached to their material identity that they refuse to see beyond matter?
Who is handicapped and unable to perceive 96% of the universe?
