You should meditate a bit. What is unfair about a consciousness experiencing? Look back through your life and recognise the repetitive cycles. Do not the negative cycles disappear when you become aware of their cause? Does not all suffering lead to growth when we step past the whining and focus our awareness on what is happening? What is the role that we play in our own unhappiness?
Their is a tiny voice inside you, that is usually drowned out by the constant output of the mind and the body, that knows when you are repeating a negative cycle. Sit in silence and let that voice grow. While the output of your brain computer might change over time as it learns new tricks for analysing the world, what about the voice? Go back through time and pick out the voice from all your memories. Does the voice ever change? Does it's perspective?
This is not an easy task. Acknowledging the voice, the observer, requires that we accept responsability for what is happening around us. The fear of death usually blocks the voice because some of our surroundings can only be changed by putting ourselves in 'perceived' mortal danger. Recognize the constancy of the observer. Recognise that the fear of Death is actually the fear to live as the observer knows we should.
That might possibly be because AA is developed on USian Catholic methods. The ability to swallow that tripe might be easier for those already swallowing the same tripe for the sham that passes as Christianity in the USA.
You've obviously been way over exposed to USian religion... and USian government. Not all countries are governed by fear.
If you spent more time trying to understand something instead of criticizing the wrong impression you have of it in your head you might understand the basic fundamentals of 'free will'.
The authors of that article apparently have never had large objects shoved into them, nor do they have large objects to shove, nor do they seem to understand vacuums, nerves, and the ability to relax...
If you can't see the stupidity of their argument, you fall in the same camp. Ironic that Ms. Cox has so few experiences with...
If you knew anything about spiritual traditions you would know that Jesus is not the only person who has said this. Look up Bhakti Yoga.
Don't conflate what Jesus said and what the Catholic church tells everybody he meant.
Don't forget Jesus also said, "i'm just human", "we are all brother's and sister's", "the kingdom of heaven is in you". Only Catholic dogma sets Jesus apart as God. He just proclaimed that he found truth and that each of us is capable of exactly the same thing. Remember, the corruption of his words was also predicted.
I'm constantly suprised by the low intelligence and poor thinking abilities of people on slashdot AND their willingness to proudly proclaim their ignorance to everybody.
First, it's called 'touch'screen. This is not some new immersive technology where you jam your fingers into the screen.
As a simple use scenario, more than one person around a monitor.
Yeah, I tend to do that for better effect, though i don't close the eye. I've spent so much of my life not seeing 3d objects it's pretty simple to switch of with both eyes still working. By turning off stereoscopy you can ignore the 3d of everything around the screen and then just use cues from the screen to create 3d. Much easier to do with games and tv than movies though.
I can't give you scientific proof (because it's never been tested before) just anecdotal. I used to be an INTJ aspie. Awareness of how I was using my eyes and learning to use them properly led to a huge shift for me. I no longer have problems interacting with strangers physically or verbally. Crowds are not a problem, no longer have a fear of heights. No longer trip or get disoriented. Have 3d vision, can recognize faces and people as constant 3d objects instead of ever shifting 2d patterns.
I now score as close to center as possible on Meyer-Briggs, leaning a bit to extrovert/feeling.
Changing how i 'see' and interpret the world, literally changed my 'point of view'. There really is more than one side to the world, and you are definitely missing out without the other.
Another way of looking at it. If both eyes aren't looking at the same object, but consciously you are seeing one object, then part of the information you are associating with that object is incorrect because the data is coming from somewhere else. Your brain might shut off the double vision for your conscious mind, but it still uses the data!
Don't speculate, test. If you had adequate control over both eyes and sufficient control to shift awareness between the two, you would know. The fact that you think there is negligible difference shows that you lack sufficient awareness of what your eyes are doing.
If you think it's overblown, watch the ted talk 'stroke of insight'. I pretty much grew up that way until i started being able to control my other side.
Logic would say that the expected S4 by the end of the month would be a huge contributer to less sales for the S3. That's just logic though, and this is slashdot...
The part that you're missing is that it builds awareness of what your lazy eye is seeing. You can consciously do this in everyday life without a gimmicky setup.
Something to be aware of, each eye, being an extension of the different hemispheres, sees and interprets the world differently. You must change the way you consciously view the world to physically view the world properly.
Depth perception through stereoscopy is not the same as flat depth perception provided by parallax. Depth perception through stereoscopy is useful over great distances and is what can make you a great golfer as you perfectly model the terrain in your brain.
Here's something to think about. Each eye is responsible for looking at a different side of the world. Each of your brains is responsible for processing different aspects of the world. What is it that you're ignoring or being ignorant of?

Would just add that science only describes approximate mechanisms, not the reason for the existence of those mechanisms.
I can put bread into a toaster to make toast, but the toaster is just a mechanism.

The other half of people can't conceive of a reality where life might have a meaning that wasn't theirs.

What if the 'placebo' effect is really just a mislabelling of god?
Really? So why doesn't the atheists belief in having science and pills as their wingman work equally as well?
That's not american Jesus, that's the USian one. Mexicans would seriously disagree with you there.
Tell that to the US government.

Your blathering and frothing all over this discussion confirms you as a high priest of Atheism.

You should get the device. It'll help you practice for that mythical future when a woman might allow you to 'touch' her.
It's a big brain using plasma instead of electric current. 11 years is the cycle that governs brain/thinking in biorhythms.

The only data point of real interest to yourself is yourself.

You forgot the pressure sensitive screen. Perfect for sketching on the go.
