  1. After the economic crash of 2008, it was reported financial markets emulate brownian motion to produce artificial randomness to create their predictive models. This was used to try to emulate the random seeming behavior of consumers, etc. Then around 2017 it was revealed market analysts were using satellite photographs to accurately estimate how many tesla EVs were sold & driven off lots, before tesla itself compiled accurate data on the topic. If wallstreet nerds were more interested in science than money, maybe more scientific progress might be made.
  2. Coronal Mass Ejection. But what of the earth's magnetic field potentially weakening... or even worse... flipping poles. That might not be the funnest event of the century. Although it might foster... enthusiasm for... daylight savings time.
  3. Fortelling the Future

    The Components of Human Design The Human Design System is a synthesis of ancient mystical traditions: Western Astrology, the 64 hexagrams of the I’Ching, The Kabbalah’s Tree of Life and the Hindu-Brahmin Chakra Model in addition to Modern Science (biology, quantum physics, biochemistry) and Genetics. Often referred to as ‘The Science of Awakening’ and ‘The Science of Differentiation,’ the combination of knowledge, opens up our cognition to both realise and accept how we are specifically designed differently from those around us. Then to experiment with experiencing ourselves as unique beings transforms one’s life. It also makes our lives so much more interesting and satisfying. An example of a Human Design chart On a personal basis Human Design can be tremendously valuable, as all those who have been fortunate enough to come to know their ‘design’ will testify. The self-reflective confirmation of recognising oneself in the consistency of energy, awareness and/or emotional complexity revealed in the interpretation of one’s chart, continues to deepen the positive impact of this knowledge. At a personal level, one can continue to recognise opportunities that are correct according to one’s true nature, whether it is aligning to specific people, or where to live or what work to do and so on. In addition, greater self-knowing at deeper and deeper levels is a natural consequence of knowing the Human Design System. https://human.design/get-your-chart This might be a somewhat new thing.
  4. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    "Arguing over doomsday end of times prophecy is like arguing over what timestamp the Titanic will sink in the movie Titanic." "It doesn't matter the day or time, you know the ship is destined to sink."
  5. Fortelling the Future

    Anyone care to hazard a guess as to whether the above is accurate? I thought maybe it wasn't a good idea to share this topic. But there is a reddit community devoted to it and so it cant be too *top secret*?
  6. 100% Our foundational knowledge of science has not advanced at all.
  7. Everything from tesla EVs to smartphones, 3d printing, drones and AI is thanks to lithium batteries and moore's law. Lithium batteries are the only real progress we've made in decades.
  8. Fear of change. Apathy. Other?
  9. This ^ could represent technology so advanced, so powerful, that it is guaranteed to produce evil and corruption for those who use it. Lack of progress in science can be a good thing, sometimes.
  10. Fortelling the Future

    Observation and free will are separate. Being able to observe past, present or future does not diminish free will. It may moreso show time itself is an illusion. Nazi bell experiment? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Glocke_(conspiracy_theory) Imagine two reptilians. @ the same time.
  11. There used to be a community called american antigravity for discussing outlier forms of energy generation and propulsion. Some of their content was legit. Others not so much. At least one fringe concept of propulsion was tested to see if it worked and later stolen by NASA who then repressed the technology. That might have been around the time NASA was constructing their famed "launchpad to nowhere". Which wasn't that long after Sarah Palin was criticized in the media for wanting to build a "bridge to nowhere". Old news, old news. That piece of history is like digging up fossils.
  12. Its good this was explained. Before it escalated into some CAT astrophe.
  13. Einstein famously said had he known, he would have been a plumber instead. Whatever negative trend exists likely stems back further than most realize.

  15. Science has been failing for 20+ years. Although probably not in the ways she thinks its failing.
  16. Life in the computer

    Those are the types of games I play. But I'm not satisfied with their depth. I don't know if its escapism. Games can be addicting. Things have come a long way.
  17. Life in the computer

    Everyone has their own motives for things. I've always tried to use games as a means of sharpening perception & mind. There are many games out there which resemble chess. Except with a significantly greater number of board pieces and variables to consider. If wise men of old used games like chess to sharpen mind. It may naturally follow that computers of today might allow for an expansion on the strategic & calculation based elements games like chess provided. Something I've always tried to take full advantage of.
  18. Life in the computer

    Hundreds if not thousands of small choices & calculations might be made within the course of a single game. In which case, the true goal games is to improve our capacity to make better choices. The violence and special fx are only a marketing gimmick.

  20. What is... emotional alchemy?

    It is nice to see people trying. But are they legit. Most here have a bad reputation.
  21. Jesus was crucified on a wooden cross. Christians wear crucifixes in remembrance of this great victory. But how does that work? How is the Son of God being crucified a victory for christians? Part of the answer to this question may have been uncovered by archaeologists digging through the remains of ancient roman cities. While examining the contents of ancient roman trash, archaeologists were horrified to discover large numbers of human remains. Not in scattered or isolated incidents. But rather as if the practice of disposing of human corpses in trash were the set standard for ancient roman society. While the human remains found at trash sites may have belonged exclusively to slaves. This reflects one of the most underrated and unappreciated aspects to how Christ's fate is a victory. In a way that can be measured and quantified via empirical methods. Prior to Jesus the standard for society was human life having no value. There was no thought towards helping the poor or the needy. Indifference and apathy towards the downtrodden were standard fare. One of the main driving forces behind the spread of christianity was its invention of elaborate welfare programs for the poor and needy. Christianity treated people as if their lives were precious and had value. Even if they were poor or sick. This was a revolutionary and mind blowing concept for its time, fueling the spread of christianity across the world. Thanks to this, we all spectacularly benefit from the christian moral framework greatly elevating standards of justice, life and prosperity. A great victory not only for christians but for all. Of course, none of this happens without the Crucifixion. One of the key points to note here is forces of evil crucifying Jesus carries a massive net effect of making life significantly harder for themselves. Over the past 2,000 years since the Crucifixion cases of war, slavery, genocide significantly decreased. Prior to the Crucifixion Lot could not find 10 moral people living in Sodom. After the Crucifixion the number and proportion of moral people in the world increased substantially. The number of moral people per capita today is much higher than in the era of Sodom. This is reflected by homicide, crime and violence rates per capita hovering at all time lows pre COVID. If a price tag were attached to crucifying Jesus the cost would be unaffordably expensive for team evil. So overwhelmingly expensive that the smart move is to NOT crucify Jesus and spend the day listening to Taylor Swift albums instead. It is a mistake to crucify people under circumstances where the net effect will be shifting the world in an opposite direction than intended. This is why christians wear crucifixes as symbols of victory rather than defeat. Even if they themselves do not comprehend the specific circumstances behind it. In observing evil, their quest is to diminish the number of moral people in the world, to reshape the world in their own image. But if crucifying Jesus multiplied morality & multiplied the number of moral people in the world. Would targeting and killing other good and moral christians carry a similar net effect? Therefore, if evil is to have a chance of victory against forces of good, evil must restrain itself from crucifying Jesus and those like Him. Give me feedback please.
  22. What is... emotional alchemy?

    The previous workshop was $18 and had more engagement. I noticed some taoist workshops cost $500+. That "emotional alchemy" though. Clever.
  23. If you got you own kingdom

    Flourishing is easy. Maintaining prosperity and living standards in the face of human overpopulation is what's hard.
