  1. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Computer memory is also binary 0 or 1. Yin/yang being based on 2 states appears similar. Computer memory is arranged along similar lines. 8, 16, 32, 64 bytes organized by orders of 2 ^ whatever. Nintendo's N64 might have more in common with 64 trigrams than I ever would have suspected...
  2. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Knowing nothing about the system of trigrams, I'll comment this. Why 64? 2^6 = 64. Hm. Interesting.
  3. If you got you own kingdom

    This man literally made his own kingdom.
  4. Has anyone read this? I owned it since the 1990s and never got around to actually reading it.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Fortelling the Future

    True or false. There is a website on the internet where a person can enter details about their birth. To receive information about their present and future. It categorises people into different groups with different traits and appears to make frighteningly accurate predictions about a persons natural disposition and tendencies. This is achieved through building a framework based on study of the iching and other historical taoist references. True or false.
  9. 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."
  10. 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*?
  11. 100% Our foundational knowledge of science has not advanced at all.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Its good this was explained. Before it escalated into some CAT astrophe.
  17. Einstein famously said had he known, he would have been a plumber instead. Whatever negative trend exists likely stems back further than most realize.
  18. PC game trailers

    Share PC game trailers.
  19. Science has been failing for 20+ years. Although probably not in the ways she thinks its failing.
  20. 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.
