But if you fancy you‘re too scientific/rational for that “woo woo stuff”, you‘re still stuck with “Exotic Spheres.” Well...What are they doing there?

The negative mindset dividing us is not worthy of us. This is our one life. Don’t force others to waste their precious time on earth protecting hard won freedoms and institutions from self hating madness posing as a thirst for justice.
Go read a 7-sphere.
