We should remake the court entirely-- each State and Territory gets to elect and send one justice to represent them in deliberative matters of interpretation of the law.

But the universe, as it likely exists, can't be distinguished this way. Why? Because you do not have a border that separates the universe from whatever the same thing was before, or the same thing was next to, or the same thing was divided or combined. Nothing else "became" the universe, except..

If it is not distinguishable, it does not exist. That does not mean that it will always be indistinguishable.

What's strange to me right now is the idea that it is like an arranged marriage, where usually it kind of works out, but often enough, it doesn't. I'm being serious. If we are petty, vindictive people outwardly, why not inwardly? Does the mind give the stomach ulcers because the body is fat?

And your body probably actually knows if your mind is crap, because it doesn't ask you much stuff. It just does things. This is becoming a really weird thought. It's like an analog computer and a digital computer, each doing their own things, and then sometimes kibbitzing.

back as a "here's what this means," which the body then responds to-- the instinctual/mechanical part. However we interpret the sensations of a tiger nearby, it's really that somewhere in our mind, something is guessing it's a tiger, and based on how sure it is, it bothers telling you or not.

Did I bifurcate my mind-body partnership? It's clear the instinctual focus makes the call sometimes-- people experience acute trauma and don't remember the event-- the cognitive focus isn't needed then. It's like the body asks the mind to interpret only some things for it, and what the mind sends..

I think it's how animals must experience life. I have my focus on two things-- no, it's like I have two focuses each on a thing, but one is instinctual and the other is cognitive. The cognitive has to pause to interpret the instinctual, which it must regularly do, like looking at an oscilloscope.
