Seriously.  "The Stars?"  2024, 2028 and the 2030's?

I just tossed my chicken bones, and it's clear.  John Bolton will successfully serve two terms starting in 2004.

ha ha. I haven't even looked at John Bolton's "stars." Nick Bolton's either, ha ha. Seriously, you are surprised about my use of cosmic indicators? How long have you been coming here, off and on? Come on....

Yup..  We've "done this" before.  Objective reality is challenging.  My 20+ year study of epistemology has taught me that, if nothing else.  I try to remain open-minded, but not open at both ends.  

I suppose the closest I can come to the sort of woo-woo- you espouse is in my readings of Jung.  The notion of the conscious, the personal sub-consciousness and the lower level of universal consciousness is interesting.  The way I interpret that model is that I'm aware of my own conscious.  I'm also convinced through experience that there's plenty in my subconscious that bubbles up and influences behavior and modes of thought.

The universal consciousness?  My interpretation is that that's the genetic component.  Our genetic background, genetic "memory," genetic influence on behavior, thought, etc. seems very reasonable as a partial explanation.  See for example, different breeds of dogs.  Each has a "job" built into its genetic memory.  My son's Brittany for example has as her highest interest, anything that flys.  She is totally enthralled by birds.  Heck, she'll even point a housefly.  Given that, and a hundred other easily accessible examples, it hard not to think that we too have genetic memories that we probably all share with one another.

One example that I think is probable is xenophobia.  Given our history as a species, why wouldn't we fear/dislike anyone outside our clan?  They represent a threat to our hunting/gathering way of life, which represents the vast, vast majority of the years of genetic background that we have.  That, in itself, may partly explain the difficulty we have with racism when we live together in large groups.

So ... there's plenty of uncertainty in observing, interpreting and coming up with a workable view of objective reality without introducing non-reproducible woo-woo and pseudo-scientific quantifications of unrelated phenomena.
