Even Karma can be looked at as an evolutionary Meme (or Teme?) that helps to keep us from self destructing. Real or not it has a tangebale effect on those who follow it.

oh i definitely agree man, but i consider that tangible effect to be what makes it real. beliefs produce experience by solidifying default attitudes toward the things we encounter within our daily life. what someone might consider to be frustrating bad luck, another could take as a wake up call to adjust their behavior. it's how beliefs affect our behavior that's important, and they're always doing that. that makes them as real as anything imo

I agree with Verk. Theorizing about karma is like trying to have a debate over the multiplication tables. It just is; and waiting for all to discover.

Nice words Flappy. I think it's good we can talk about it freely. The benefit comes from remembering what the words really 'are', I feel.

G. Buddah sat in silence to many questions..did he know? or know that it was just ok not to speculate? Both answers have meaning.

I just wanted to inject a little humor. I think humor is important. Verk taught me that.
