1984Echoes

Yes, I have done this. The science fiction novel I've worked on the most? "The Sins of Eden". Eden, as in the Planet Eden.

What am I thinking?!?! FULL DISCLOSURE: One of my "prospective" novels is "The History of God". I believe I introduced at least a couple of the "novel-pertinent" concepts in this thread... From an Atheist perspective, of course...

PS: I don't HAVE any all-caps or exclamation points in those writings!!! So maybe I should ADD them??? 😉

😄 👍 😉

Well... An Org might still hold onto some hope that he can improve. Keep White as the #2 or sign a better guy and see if they can "salvage" Wilson through coaching. Or at least they may have been hoping... I don't disagree with moving him... probably would have been better.

PS: I'm a CPA, not a writer... But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...

I believe I have some very interesting sci-fi concepts, and have outlined at least 3 different conceptual novels. And I have written out some... But the actual WRITING has proven difficult for me. Primarily the dialogue between characters. Much too wooden.

He flopped. That's why. If anything, they needed to sign a 1-year stopgap (like a Bridgewater) in case Rodgers went down with an injury (oops!) and moved Wilson to #3. And, either coach him up (just by observing/ learning from Rodgers for instance) or trade him. Their season is screwed because they didn't do that.

Put another way: I believe that Goff is definitely important... yes. But our O-Line is CRITICAL to our success. It is critical for Goff's success. And it is critical to our running game, without which, Goff becomes way too ineffective. For short periods, or for a certain opponent (defense) or for a catch-up pass-like-crazy situation... I love Goff. But I don't think we win games if we don't have a running game. I believe it is critical for Goff's success. And since the O-Line is critical, for both... And Glasgow has absolutely saved this O-Line, this year... I'm sticking with him.

The O-Line? I'm sticking with Glasgow... At least for now...

Maybe... not disputing the warmth of his seat... But Wilson's a **** QB. Jets fans here HATE Zach Wilson. I think... both the fans AND the team are ready to move on from him as soon as possible...

Even if just for one quarter each. However, if they were to do that... I think it'd be next year, not this year. This year it'd be Bridgewater getting those quarters, because he's the one we need to have ready for the playoffs... just in case of injury.

Just give Goff his extension. Worry about Hooker later. He'll (Hooker) be a good backup for the next few years, not counting this one.

As it pertains to religion... If I were to write a novel, "Third Universe", I would write it under the assumptions that the "Universe" has no beginning, and no end, and is actually not the FIRST or the ONLY Universe... but that it is the Third Universe (made of "matter", in sequence) that has ever been in existence. Just to play with that...

It's an extremely difficult point to get past. And we don't have the exact answer to that. At least not yet. I like my "weird" Sci-fi version though... If I try to get back into my sci-fi writing I would use that scenario to create a novel: "Third Universe".

This is a little early but... I think could be some very interesting debates... And I'll kick that off by nominating a very WEIRD candidate who, I think, without, our season tanks (both S***-out-of-Luck AND Same-Old-Lions - SOL's): Graham Glasgow. Without signing him, I think our dream season this year gets flushed down the toilet.

By scientific methods. 😉

And yet, it was STILL smart to draft Hendon Hooker.

Also: I suspect part of this is personality. Some people are ALWAYS critical or negative. Some are ALWAYS "sunny side up", and most people are somewhere in the middle. For me... ONLY negative personalities are hard to take.

PS: Scientists have created anti-matter particles FYI, for an instant, out of thin air or, "nothing". Just for an instant until they contact a particle of matter and then evaporate... but it's been done. I'd have to go search for that test/ study... this is just off the top of my head...

SciFi version: Matter and Anti-Matter "universes" held at a pinpoint, separated but completely in balance (like as inside of a "snowball", but separated into left and right "hemispheres" and unable to "touch" the other (in which matter and anti-matter would completely destroy each other, if they "touched" each other... leading to... nothing) by a positive-positive magnetic wall (two positives reject each other in magnetism, therefore creating the "wall"). The APPEARANCE would look like "nothing"; but the entire universe is inside that snowglobe. Hidden by the tiny size of the immense gravity of the compacted universe into that tiny space... and the equal and identical (mirror image) anti-matter universe. One anti-matter proton-neutron-electron particle expires (went past its "expiration date" - haha, just a joke here... but give me some leeway...). The imbalance, anti-matter side now has one less hydrogen particle then the matter side, leads to... The Big Bang. The Matter Universe (which we are in... because, we "matter"... haha) explodes into existence. The Anti-Matter Universe ALSO explodes into existence, but in the anti-matter dimension instead of our "Matter" dimension. So there you go... I just created the Big Bang.

And I've already argued that our "consciousness" is a combination of our memory capacity and our language skills (Broca's area) ARE our consciousness. I may be wrong on that point. But biochemically speaking... I don't believe so. I think you are still looking for that "interface" but there is no interface needed between Broca's area and motor skill areas. It's simply one biochemical reaction (Broca's area or our "thought" area) in our neural networks, which we have some control over, to another neural network controlling motor skills. Yes, last comment: Just in case you weren't considering this: You are trying to add an inefficiency into our brains looking for some interface. It's an extra step. And in evolution (at least prior to us, for the most part, conquering lethal threats), an inefficient or "slowdown" step would be fatal, and lead to an ending of that genetic lineage. IE: My thinking neural networks speak directly to my motor skill networks so I am up the tree first... Your thinking neural networks are still searching for that "Interface" and therefore... That Lion just ate your ass. My genetic lineage continues. Yours does not. "Food for thought".

They are brain activity experts. G2 is a chemical engineer, if I have that correct. G2 is chasing a ghost, that does not exist, by trying to force chemical engineering into human biochemistry and neural evolution. He is not correct. There are a lot more brain activity experts that agree, not just psychologists. You need to check on your smell test there... Sorry.

I disagree with your premise. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/living-forward/202304/how-your-thinking-affects-your-brain-chemistry#:~:text=Your thoughts can also influence,responding to a perceived threat. KEY POINTS Your thoughts are transmitted via neurotransmitters and other neurochemicals. You can proactively release various feel-good neurotransmitters in your brain based on what you think about. Your brain chemistry changes physical structures in your brain and body. A direct refutation of your premise.

No... But he IS A.J. Hinch...
