Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

    Odd anthropomorphic statement 'evolutionary process does not care,' and of course, the evolutionary processes are not based on an anthropomorphic caring concern. The science of evolution is in part based on the survival of those best suited for an environment, and a changing environment.

    Your response did not address Tassman's post, because it did not address the science.

      I think what we see and experience, or even think about during the day becomes the seeds of our dreams.

      Last night I was watching "Legion" and their was a cool scene of a cloudscape flowing like a wave over a city. I thought it looked cool.

      Then last night I had a dream in which part of it was me standing outside taking pictures and I saw an awesome sky that looked like Van Gogh's Starry Night and started taking photos of it.

        Survival has nothing to do with caring. It's instinctive for all living creatures to try and survive.

        You have not addressed the point that it is during our formative years we become who we are at the subconscious level. Our decision-making is to a large extent a process handled by our subconscious mental activity.

        ...yes, and enters our subconscious

                Interestingly dreams which many would call a nightmare I see as an adventure.

                          It appears that seer is projecting his dreams onto others.

                              Why? You want it to remain "pure" and unsullied as you imagined it?
