    Me too. Indeed.

  2. Re:Malicious Reptilian Mind. on Ex-Lover Deletes MMOG Character · · Score: 1

    That may or may not be the case, but our ancestral reptilian mind , lets say..that evolved long before we evolved into social animals there may very well have been a time when humanoids recembling us didnt not live in tribes or social groups, but where lonley hunters living on the vast plains in America or on the cold montains of Sibiria. This lost time where meeting a rivaling hunter could easily lead to a conflict where it is not difficult to see that one may have had to kill ones rival to get a hold of the, for lack of better words, not abundant amount of preys on the cold or desolate mountains and plains that that may have lived on and thus we may imagine, I think, that this would increase ones chances of surviaval. Now this may very well have been a trait of our pre-ancestral homo erectus or the allmost barbaric neanthertals. One could allso argue that this is something that still has prevailed into modern society and that some people still prefer to live on their own and not mingle with social groups but instead live a desolate life somewhere out there. Some things that exist in the past may not be that easy to research or construct a theory about when it has happened to long ago and we can only imagine how it could have been or what it was like in pre-historic ages, so it is imperative that we have a try to discuss these things and how we imagine they could have been.

  3. Malicious Reptilian Mind. on Ex-Lover Deletes MMOG Character · · Score: 1

    This really is a case that displays in a not so serious way the malicious ways of our inherited basic reptilian mind. Its the same part of our basic mind that makes people find malice amusing. Maybe it should be replaced by something else as we now live in a modern society where murdering ones fellow citizens , or just causing malice to them, does not increase once personal chance of survival as it would back in the ice cold days when the reptilian mind evolved , but in these modern times we should literaly perhaps change our minds or more in general our ways or attitudes towards something that is more suitable to civilized life.

  4. Re:Are we asking questions just to sound smart? on Escape from the Universe · · Score: 1
    I think that the point is that a parallel universe is , obviously , parallel. The definition of parallel means something that is exactly that, parallel , meaning not a part of. How this can coincide with being accesible from our current universe seems hard to visualise in any sort of way. If anyone could give a good description of how they visualise parallel universe that would be indeed intresting to read about. Anything that is in this universe is of course a part of this universe , but anything else, whatever that would be , and that is not to be excluded that there could be, like infinity, which because of certain problemes escapes discussion, like that fact that infinity would be infinite(!) and not finite, though I feel both an infinite and finte universe share the same inconsistensies. If the universe ends then what is beyond there? Emptyness? Where then does the emptyness end? If the universe doesn't end, how can it not end? I dont think everyone ask these questions to sound smart, though some probarbly do, but I think that maybe these questions for many people actually carry a certain atmoshpere of something that conveys a sense of deepness and profoundnes in life.

    I can imagine the normal physical universe, and I can imagine in some way , with the allmost logical breaches, infinity, though parallel universes or parallel infinities I'm having a bit trouble with so if anyone has any hints about this don't hesitate to print them.

  5. Paradox of computers. on IBM Grid Near 50,000 machines - Slashdot Users #13 · · Score: 1

    Aside from the fact that I am not so sure that I want to contribute to the corrupt medical establishment, or if I really want to hammer squares into the slot for cubes, Buckminister Fuller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminister_Fuller says it rather niceley in the chapter about the paradox of computeres http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/s02/p000 0.html#204.00 in the first volume of his books Synergetics: "It is a paradox that the computer, in its very ability to process nonconceptual formulae and awkwardly irrational constants, has momentarily permitted the extended use of obsolescent mathematical tools while simultaneously frustrating man's instinctive drive to comprehend his direct experiences.". That aside , some of the results of his research may very well be involved in this actuall project, though there is still not any reason to underestimate mans inherit ability to intuitively generate instantanous knowledge about any subject in question.
