That small calibre thing is fascinating. Any readings on it? How do they even validate that does happen?

(Since I can’t edit my response) some context and some further links: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/30212/do-people...

Depictions and descriptions of being shot from before westerns make no mention of people falling down as if struck by lightning. It’s like there is no expectation that you fall down if stabbed, say.

Apparently...

Apparently they found similar waves in rat brains after death before this paper came out. This paper is more about finding the same in humans which they couldn't do till now.

Plenty of hunters with 22s would probably differ that a bullet can't drop a living being instantly.

I’m no firearms buff, I though .22 rifles are good for squirrels and such likes? Relative to the size of the target, .22 is a pretty big calibre I’d think.

.22 is also the caliber of the vast majority of infantry weapons in the world.

In 22lr (the piddly little gun most kids learn to shoot on where I love) it’s enough for small game like a squirrel.

In 5.56x45 (NATO) or 5.45x39 (Russia) it’s suitable for larger game like humans or deer.

There is no proof of any supernatural thing ever.

"There is no proof of any supernatural thing ever."

? Except you live, breath, walk and act in this universe as though you are literally an incarnation of something 'supernatural' aka 'more than a random bag of rocks'

Scientific Materialism has helped us push aside a lot of Magical Thinking about a lot of things (it was the wind, not a ghost, and there are no Elves in the forest with Gold) ... paradoxically we are not any closer to understanding the nature of ourselves i.e. 'life'

The concept 'life' doesn't have much meaning if it's just some bit of complex mechanics and I suggest even those positing just that don't even contemplate the implications.

We posit that the universe is made up of matter and energy, and everything behaves in accordance with a set of 'rules' because mostly that's what we observe, and beyond that, a lot of people are just thinking magically.

By definition, we may have ruled out the possibility for 'life' by our own, reductive and narrow metaphysical definition.

We've made a 'ruler' to measure the Universe that is just incapable of measuring many things, even those things happening right before our eyes, we trust the 'ruler' as 'truth' and that's that.

It'd be nice if we had some developments in metaphysical thought these days, we've been ignoring it for a while.

Many would argue that free will is non-materialistic (extra- or -supra natural), if we have no free will, then these HN comments are inevitable due to the laws of physics though, so no use arguing if it is materialistic since it’s inevitable :)

Trying the argument out on such a futile actions as HN comments isn't that telling.

There was a time when a convoluted bio-mechanical system traveled to the Moon and back. Could you do me a favor and re-run that line of thought on that? The Apollo was inevitable and so the biological elements of it should have done... What exactly?...

I'm honestly lost here, I don't ponder about non-materialistic free will anymore.

My favorite is that if there is no free will, then Burger King coupons are somewhere in Maxwell’s equation…

Yes, I do think Burger King coupons are somewhere in Maxwell’s equation. I'd be honestly interested on the Apollo 11 thing though.

Perhaps. Perhaps we will live every moment again and again forever.

But we still don't have any proof of anything supernatural.

Just as we can’t prove most of our lived experience :)

Most things might be true but unprovable.
