There was a bird that moved into a tree outside.  This bird made it clear to me that it wanted to be my companion.  In the mornings it would sing to me from outside, until I opened the door and stepped outside.  We would then converse with one another.  As I prepared my breakfast, I would gather handfuls of  steel cut oats and cast nourishment  into the air and the feathery feast would land grounded for my dear friend with the start of a new day.  Many suns rose and many suns set until one day I heard the sweetest music that filled my heart and soul with curiosity....
I opened the door to find a tree of tiny baby birds all singing a beautiful melody for me.  And there was my special little bird heart who appeared to join in on a moment of gratitude for the sharing of loving hearts.

If a creature has a heart..no matter how small...know for sure that their little heart beats and has big feelings.

Great little story :)

Some years ago I came to the conclusion that conciousness/feelings/thoughts are pretty universal among EVERYTHING...it's just that expression, interpretation, circumstance, and intentions differ greatly between species and between the unique individuals of the same species.



It's easier to recognize this in humans of course, we are totally conditioned to it...but it'd be a shame to conclude that the bird, or the bee, the rock or the tree, does not think and feel just like me!

Cole you are a believer in non deital Pantheism- you maybe just didn't know it. Me too, by the way :)

Awesome Jay! Thanks for that, sure helps to have a "word" that can be said, wrote, and generally defined in certain conversations to maybe help another better understand.

Cole I like to throw in the occasional big word- it makes me sound more perpendicluar
Another thing I do to impress people is to drop the occasional phrase in a foreign language- one I have found most helpful in many situations is a phrase in Swahili I learned long ago
"Kiboko ameriharibu kibana yetu!" A hippopotamus has destroyed our hut! I hope you also find it indispensable:)

Finding the root of a real function.
It is the solution that is referred to as real roots.


if all agents have the same utility function S, we get
δS = -i hbar (δ + δ_adjoint), which is the quantum mechanical equivalent to the Euler-Lagrange equation


L is motivated.....L is Love
Kenetic and Potential
