That is VERY different from what <br />many Quantum Bullshitters claim; that our perception of the world around us changes/influences/alters the world around us in a sub-atomic way...No-one who seriously studies quantum physics actually claims that our perception shapes what is perceived... that idea is obviously stupid... if you stop looking at the moon, does it disappear? <br /><br />I like KRS One, he's a legend. I especially love the KRS One from the "Sex and violence" days, when he actually said some interesting against-the-grain stuff about religion ("The real holy place") and rappers spouting black nationalism ("build and destroy", "like a throttle"). he had classic lines like <br /><br />what are u doing for yourself, black man?<br />trying hard to be the original man?<br />who?<br />the first man with the first plan<br />on the first land?<br />who gives a damn??<br /><br />He was sharp and went over a lot of other rappers' heads. But this older KRS One is becoming a spiritual woo-woo preacher, <br />a Deepak Chorpah with dreadlocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
