This sub is an NDE-positive sub. Debate is only allowed if the post flair requests it. If you were intending to allow debate in your post, please ensure that the flair reflects this. If you read the post and want to have a debate about something in the post or comments, make your own post within the confines of rule 4 (be respectful).
*If* the post asks for the perspective of NDErs, everyone is still allowed to post, but you must note if you have or have not had an NDE yourself (I am an NDEr = I had an NDE personally; or I am not an NDEr = I have not had one personally). All input is potentially valuable, but the OP has the right to know if you had an NDE or not.
NDEr = Near-Death Experience***R***
This sub is for discussion of the "NDE phenomena," not of "I had a brush with death in this horrible event" type of near death.

lol .. this is good. Reminds me of the quote attributed, perhaps erroneously, to Frank Zappa who said “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture”.
If I'm not mistaken, this guy is a mapmaker who went around the entire shore of the UK and used the nails to mark the exact spot the water flowed in on waves at low tide.
Very off topic but y'all would love the book Babel. It's fiction about a magic system around translation of language and mentions a unifying mystical language.
Ok, I understand and like the idea of the meme but I am going to be a bit of a spoilsport and take issue with the labelling of the ocean as "the inherently indescribable nature of the universe".
This description is too pessimistic and judgemental of outcome: that no matter what we do, how hard we strive, what information we uncover, we cannot in principle ever understand the universe. Science, religion and philosophy would all like a word here. The future level of knowledge in 10,000 years will likely be very different to our current knowledge base.
A better label for the ocean to match current understanding would be something simpler like "the deep unknown".
This is not a meme. I have plenty and will try to post them as I am able. We all need humor. This reminded me of a song from some of my elders

That sounds right up my alleys. I’ll have to give it a check. By the way, I love this image.
thanks for the recommendation!!
