It's driven to survive, which leads to humans being reactive and behaving without the thought. This, inevitably leads to great suffering. It does not have to be that way. Come with me as I review the brain, our behavior and how we can change. Change is difficult, at times it is very difficult and it ...

#thenaturalstateofnature #successivecollisiontheory https://thenaturalstateofnature.org So if there was ever going to be an actual TOE, theory of everything what would it really need to include? By its definition it would need to explain what single force is the driving force behind all other forces as well as I think the single building block of everything that is, was, or will ever be. It would need to explain wave particle duality, the collapsing wave function, superposition, quantum tunn ...
