I'm sure you can get something out of very old meat



But think about it, everyone only has a few days left to live! We just keep extending that, day by day, by eating something else that recently died. And then it’s atoms become part of our bodies. It’s life force gets absorbed into us. But because it has a finite and limited life, it can’t fully stop us from dying. So we need to repeat it again a few hours later!


yes, we're carbo/protein battery operated things


But that’s only part of the metaphysics of it all! We actually absorb the properties of what we consume! An apple contains within its seed the potential or power of an apple tree, which is dense and fibrous, and by consuming the apple we absorb its fibrousness and density. An animal has the power of movement, and by consuming its flesh we absorb the power of movement, which is why it builds up our muscle tissue! Metaphysics is the real physics, our physics are only a shadow of that.


you're overthinking

we digest the nutrient, it's all below the level of structural appletreeness


I’ve been told all my life that I’m overthinking it or that I think too much. The fact is the opposite, the rest of the world doesn’t think enough! I come here to find people who do, to gain any insight they may have (especially on programming) and to share the insight I have received (especially on the true philosophy).
