Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
I was going to laugh but then I remembered that awareness is entangled in the flow of molecules.
Hahaha, that’s superb! How long before he starts pretending to vomit golden chicken eggs of divinity like Sai Baba? I wonder.
He is on the same volleyball team with Jenny McCarthy!
And what’s with the glasses? If his consciousness creates reality, couldn’t he have created one that was in focus?
He can see fine, the glasses are just bling.
I would not object to have a look at Deepak’s eyes, but I suspect his problems are located more posteriorly, in his brain.
That’s why we call him Diamond Deepak, the Rhinestone Cowboy.
There is a big difference between thinking correctly and correct thinking. He needs to use the third kind (the eye of the quantum).
I’ve found that metabolising time makes me gassy.
Hence the expression, “winds of time.”
“The Breakwinds of Time” — an apt title for the next tome he cranks out.
I’m sure it will be ripping!
It’s negative energy from people like you that are making Chopra age!
Dorian Grey-like?
Moot, you’re killing me here! 😀
Sorry! How can I pass on a flatulence pun?
I have no problem with it…it’s the parsley and sage that give me digestional issues.
Rosemary is okay?
Whiter hair and less of it, advancing presbyopia, paunchiness and loose-fitting skin? I meant to do that! He said “learning to direct” ageing, not “changing the direction” of it.
We’re all still circling the drain, but “Self power unfolds into formless silence” saith the Choprabot.
Maybe he still thinks he looks like picture #1. It’s the rest of us who think otherwise.
He’s not exactly the Dick Clark of Metaphysicality, is he?
LOL!
I got gray hairs cause I want ‘me.
Not age but follicular quantum.
want ’em
You forgot to account for his conscious intention of the up quark to internalize the singularity thus inhibiting the quantum effects of time. 😉
Quantum up-quark connects us to the source of everything, the eternal field of consciousness. Only there, will you find youth, harmony, and the undisturbed contentment of bliss.
That will be $39.95 please. We take all credit cards.
So true. Those who don’t see don’t WANT to see. A bargain at twice the price. Shazbot, nanu nanu.
I like the contrast between Chopra’s seemingly profound statement and the blunt commentary below it.
Cannot metabolize time?
If you are time intolerant, try timeade,the drink that puts you in touch with your inner chronosynclastic infundibulum, and it tastes good too.
Looks like he’s wearing the same close since 1985. Maybe he looks older but doesn’t sweat, and doesn’t need to deal with doing laundry.
But he is going to live forever, just not in way that any of us can measure. His super-quantum-god gives him this power.
I can already hear Chopra calling everyone a bully. I even hear his voice in my head. Maybe Chopra is communicating with me now.
That’s a result of quantum conciousness. Conciousness is nonlocal and a field, a superposition of possibilities. Including, but not limited to, Chopra’s voice.
Yeah I figured that’s what it probably was.
Wait, I think I just felt an itch near my right ear. I think Chopra want’s me to hear something…gotta go.
I think your mind must be quantumly entangled with Chopra’s.
I’m sorry.
Oh no! That’s what that has been these past few months. How do I stop it? Is it something to do with my spin?
As far as I know, there is no known cure. But daily doses of the writings of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Jerry Coyne have been found to effectively mitigate the symptoms.
Since he is in complete control, he must have wanted to look like this. I was going to not laugh but with no free will, I’m on the floor.
I love watching Deepak getting called out on his BS, and the photos do show that Deepak ages, but “sucked at it”? Even I have to admit Deepak looks amazing, er, scratch that, he looks remarkable for **67** years old – to which I credit genetics, not quantum consciousness.
A certain amount of wealth helps.
If that’s true, then what would Donald Trump look like if he wasn’t rich :-0
But, wealthy or not, Deepak really does look good for his age, better I’d think than many other rich people, possibly most, of the same age.
Are you the same person who posted that 65-year-olds are ready for Depends?
Haha I don’t think it was Scote that said that.
Really? He looks like a perfectly average 67-year-old to me.
It’s only pictures of Deepak that age to reflect his soul-corrupting sins against science. Owing to his Faustian deal with woo, the man himself never ages.
+1
Deepak looks pretty good for his age – he must have a Picture of Aubrey de Grey locked in a room somewhere.
Dorian Grey
Errr, I was making an (unsuccessful, obviously) joke about the author of “Ending Aging” and editor of “Rejuvenation Research.”
And so our story climaxes with a young, dark-haired man entering that room, knife in hand — and with the police responding to the plaintive cry that ensues, to find an ancient Deepak, identifiable only by the bling of his Sir-Elton-style spectacles, the knife plunged into his heart, lying before a picture of the youthful Chopran visage. The End.
(FWIW, I think The Big O spelt his title character’s last name Yank-style, with an “a”, rather than an “e” like the Earl of tea.)
Thanks for putting the picture on the blog, Jerry! I thought you might like it.

I have Chronic’s Disease so I can’t metabolize time.
you need to pray to the god Kronos.
Who is tortured forever for eating his kids.
Better the god Kronos, than the god Kro don’t?
As long as you don’t have cronics because that might mean you eat your kids.
So you have a chronostomy bag?
Perhaps Philomena Cunk could explain to him how to metabolize time.
Or use monk-eh glands.

“Oh, ya gotta help me doctor . . . I think my chronosynclastic infundibulum is acting up. I may even be suffering from a diverticulated frammiss.”
I’m totally gonna try that on my PCP next office visit.
Now in grape flavour!

He’s deliberately letting himself age to look venerable …
/
‘Tain’t workin’
Well, then, he’s doing it rong. “Venerable agéd one” is a look that can only be achieved with a suitably impressive beard.
And Trotskyesque glasses.
We already went through this. His guru used to say that gneuine immortality (if it be possible) would be related to teh ability to float consistently during the practice of the TM-SIdhis’ Yogic Flying technique.
Chopra’s never claimed that.
As for how much he’s aged? He’s aged more than I would have expected, but he’s been experimenting with non-TM for 20+ years now, and mindfulness and other practices, while they have some minor anti-aging effect, aren’t really all that healthy for you.
Undoubtedly he would claim that he is aging by choice.
Exaccerly. He only said you could direct your whatever, he didn’t say he wanted to. He could if he wanted to, but he’s beyond the superficial. His desires are in the quantum super realm of ageless divine unity.
“There but for fortune…may go you or I”,we do not get to choose our genes, parental units, our geographical location, all we can choose, is with in the paramitars of our biology is how to behave in our society (maybe)?
I would really like to believe we have some type of control but, the longer I observe/learn the less I am inclined to believe. Heck and gosh darn I do miss the fairies at the bottom of the garden, that is until I look up at the night sky and I am in wonder at how indifferent the universe is in regards to me.
“Can’t he remain immortal—or at least not age—by just thinking correctly about the issue?”
I tried that. When I hit 30 I decided to stop counting because I still ‘felt like 30’ inside. If anyone asked my age I said “Thirty” with a grin.
I finally gave that up when it became 100% chronologically inaccurate, and none too physically credible either. Now if anyone asks my age I say “bloody geriatric”. 🙁
Time is eating his words…
Will this be the next title to come off the Chopra Random Book Generator?
Methinks the photos show the accumulation of metabolic waste products of time – such as grey hair, wrinkles & crinkles. His Immortal Self remains constant but invisible?!
So much for the “quantum alternative” to growing old.
this is a good one
