  You sound like a sour lemon. I’d rather hang out with a hippie that thinks the universe is conscious than someone who slaps a paper tiger license to their low originality threshold posts. Just sayin.

    Sour lemons are tasty, dunno what your problem is 🤷 I wouldn’t want to hang out with some rando called “balloon” from the internet either. Just sayin.

      You have to be a troll, right?..right?

        If someone insulted you, what kind of response would you give (if any)?

  Are you giving out a license for all your posts? Are you following up on the usage or is it more of a symbolic act?

    Seems like the actions of a person who took too much acid and warped their own reality.

    I’ll probably determine if it’s symbolic when it turns up in some commercial AI.

  But it’s cool.

  Just don’t go thinking it means anything other than nature is awesome.

    I just think there are better ways to say nature is awesome without adding mystics, new age stuff, or fantastical expressions to it. Then it starts turning into non-science.

      I like those better ways too, but I’m me and you’re you. I think the vulgarisation like in the op are good and useful as well. We’re not talking about Deepak Chopra here, just a little mycological poetry.

      I would use the word “special” rather than mystical, but the awesomeness of reality can often feel mystical. I think it’s ok to play with that as long as you aren’t making any serious claims, like we should order our social structure around fungi deity or something

        I feel exactly the same way as how you described it. I think the quote from OP about the universe experiencing itself actually originated from Carl Sagan, who is as scientific and atheistic as you could ask for. It’s just a play on words.

        And then you have the likes of Deepak Chopra, who is the most disingenuous woowoo-talking charlatan in existence. If he said something like that, he would mean it literally.
