quickquestion

Without Love in my life, I go outside and say "What's the point." All is just colors of shapes and matter. The point I am trying to make is very similar to MattVSM's thread about how without positive emotions, life is without value.

Let's say 1000's in the future we live in a sterile future that is worse than Star Trek. And in this future no violent instinct is allowed, and sex is not allowed, babies are bred in test tubes, and no competition of any kind is allowed, and everything looks white and sterile and everyone wears teletubbies/Star Trek unicolor uniforms without personality.

If I was unlucky enough to be born in such a future, I would be a supreme villian. But if villiany was not allowed, I would continually disobey and not cooperate with society. Everyone in society would be raised and encouraged to do school, science, and mathematics, but I would have no interest in science or mathematics, or any type of school. My only interest would be to hate society. My philosophy would be, "For what reason do we seek to explore the stars, if it is of the same miserable stuff to which we are chained and aquainted?" In such a future, there would only be one reason to explore the stars - to find an escape from our current torments. Or to seek history and the past, to discern whether or not life can be anything more than what we were raised to believe.

Also, I would have to say, Pop Science often misrepresents science, and conveys information in a deliberately inaccurate way in order to increase the hysteria factor, and thus lies to the public.

 

Yes please...

 

 

No he didn't, I did.

Like OMG dude...

He said you were right and then I said he was wrong for saying you were right...

SO I LITTERALLY EXPLAINED WHY HE WAS WRONG FOR SAYING YOU WERE RIGHT.

Get it?

 

You seem to have no understanding of the concept of time; it may take a while to go from bacteria to humans, but that's nothing compared to time, yet you quibble about the definition of immortality.

 

However long you live, you'll still die.

Immortality is not the same definition as invincible, which was already addressed in topic but I guess you didn't find it important enough to read.

You would need to define "intelligent decisions" or "awareness". My computer knows its name, its location and can run selfdiagnostics. Even my toaster is "aware" that it is on or off and can make an "intelligent decision" about when to pop out the toast.

Ok now you are just clowning around on the funny boat.

You are changing "definitions" when it is convenient for you.

It's like, if I say a cheerleader is the lead of the parade, you'd say No, because she isn't made out of metal.

 

To paraphrase Dr Who ' no-one is evil, they're just hungry, evil depends on which side of the cutlery you're on.'

 

Please explain why he's wrong, rather than try yet another logical fallacy; I'm not asking you to jump in with both feet, just dip your toe and answer a question, I don't care which one, anything you like, even if it's only your age.

 

LOL +1

Do I really have to explain why he's wrong?

He literally said that people who kill animals for fun have limp penises.

I'm afraid you are focused on humans.

How can the animal despise humans?

 

You also talk about good and evil like they are real and absolute. Citation needed.

Despise means a kind of animosity towards someone, after they violate you.

Good and evil were made up words so that primitives would live comfortable lives and avoid pain and torture.

Thus anything which has an intent of torture or pain is said to be evil.

Thus keeping animals in cages is more evil than shooting them instantly.

 

 

Examples?

 

 

Have you read any Chaucer? Or Shakespeare? Or even fiction written in the 60s? You will find lots of words that are no longer in use.

 

 

Interesting. They are still in use in parts of the North of England. Where does your dialect come from? (These are examples of useful words that have disappeared from most English dialects.)

But shakespeare books are still printed and read, thus the words are still in use.

In my other post I said there are lots of STEM terminologies that have double meanings or unintuitive, misleading names. But I said I can't remember them off hand.

Citation needed.

I know I achieve far more with other people if I am not hateful towards them. Hate tends to shut doors, while respect and dialogue opens them.

Even in the rare cases violence cannot be avoided, hate is unreliable and needlessly destructive.

Did Jesus use hate or love to spread his message?

 

"Going against established order" does not require hate in any way.

Hate and love are two versions of the same fuel.

Love is a fuel as well.

Love can be more damaging than hate.

Love, when turned toxic, becomes hate.

Thus the Aphrodite legend is the goddess who wishes for Earth's destruction.

You ever loved someone, only have them abuse and or reject you? Worst feeling in the world.

Lots of powerful individuals have come in power through hate alone.

Whatever it takes to be famous.

Fame=power.

Love can obviously be used too, it made Jesus famous.

 

Please, provide proof in the form of an article or multiple articles published in peer-reviewed journals ... Not that I don't want to believe you, but this is a very severe domain.

Thankyou for suggesting this. That should save me some trouble of having to google this on my own.

Do you sport?

It's a way to give a different focus for your mind and you make more endogenous anti oxidants to deal with exercise induced oxidative stress.

Doing so would increase my libido, which would increase my sexual frustration, which would increase my depression.

Speaking of which, I can't stand all these love songs on the radio. It feels like a bunch of imps are torturing me.

qq - this is for you. we could chat by text or PM on this Forum or text on cellphone, if you like. I just want to say that there is ALWAYS hope and ALWAYS a way to get out of this mood. Tony Robbins is the real deal and this is not only my opinion. I have a link for him here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqjWfPWfl5g

 

It's 2 am in the UK dude, I m going to sleep. Take care, you are of great worth and, once you are out of this state, you can help others.

All the best to you brother/sister/whatever.

Well PM is not the same as skype because it is slow and congested. Skype is more free flow and it does not suffer from an inbox limit. It only takes a few seconds to make an account, so perhaps after Easter we can chat on there if you like.

Does gene therapy only change organs, or can it cause mutations such as changing physical apperance, gender, and or species?

qq - I have not read about HBI but many of Tony Robbins' lectures are on youtube and I have been watching some of these programmes recently. I don't want to get into detail at present about how depression has impacted my life, but I am here if you PM me and, if you need me, I will give you my cellphone no. just to talk and for me to listen - I am an excellent listener.

 

Peace.

I thank you, but I feel emotional aversions while socializing and am afraid of talking to people with my voice, due to being a textbook psychopath. I would rather talk in skype if you like.

Find better doctors.

Better doctors takes better money.

It will get you more comfortable with visualizing things.

Obviously simply one game won't help much, but a series of games that help you visualize things in many different ways, will help you to visualize things mentally much better over time.

Chess for example.

I did a study and found that students who played chess in the top 30 rankings in the local area around me(actually, just my school. Sorry.) and I found every single one of them was doing at a 93% or betting inside of Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Pre-Algebra. My hypthesis(unproven, again, sorry) is that being able to visualize several moves ahead in chess helps you to be able to visualize several moves ahead inside of algebra. For me, I play chess and I noticed an increase in how well I did when I started playing heavily.

Basically, Algebra seems to be breaking down equations into a process. Chess helps you to visualize those processes, and allows you to sometimes see the answer before actually writing it out, as long as there is no complicated math involved.

For example, (4x + 2) (4x +2).

To solve that, no complicated math is needed. And in my head, each step briefly plays before changing to the next step, eventually becoming the final answer. And I've found I can usually rely on the final answer.

It becomes 16x^2 + 16x + 4.

Now maybe I'm just seeing random patterns here, but I think some games do help.

I already aced algebra 1 and 2.

What I am looking for is to get extremely good at all manner of theoretical science and or advanced science, including college level physics, neuroscience, and biology.

Most of them aren't experimental.

Depends on your definition. I view 10 years as an experiment in progress.

Also, the attitude of many doctors is to scoff at any side effects I mention to them, as if they have the unshakeable attitude that their meds are fully safe.

They're working on a pill that will be capable of having the cells repair themselves. They've done it with mice, and have made old mice equally as capable as the young mice. Human trials have already started.

Cool. This should make things interesting.

Perhaps, if you took your anti depressants as prescribed, it would work better? Rather then just taking them when you want a quick fix?

Didn't mean to negative 1 your post, my mouse glitched.

Anyway, I am sick of being a guinea pig for corrupt politicians and corporate interests. I used to take the pills everyday but they didn't help. And in the future I don't wish to take meds everyday so doctors can use me to test their experimental medications.

this topic is meant to discuss, scientifically, different approaches and viabilities to immortality.

Immortality, refers to the state of continued physical health. It is not invincibility, which means that someone cannot die. An immortal person could die by being hit by a train, for instance.

1. I am trying to find whether or not increasing Stem Cell reproduction will grant immortality. (If the reproduction rate exceeds their death rate.)

2. Some theorists say High Oxygen environments will double lifespans.

3. I am trying to find out if there is a way to surpass the Hayflick limit.

4. Fourthly, my hypothesis is that telomerase does not actually promote cancer, because it will also increase the longevity of anti-cancer cells. Thus my hypothesis is that by simply raising the level of telomerase you will drastically increase lifespan.

 

dimreepr's comment is logical, straight to the point and very accurate. I'd plus it again if I could.

 

Wow, what a complete load of bollox; killing for fun usually means a dickhead wannabe who wants to control the world, with a very limp dick; killing for food is a person trying to live.

 

You must be joking me.

You call that logical, straight to the point and accurate? You can't be serious.

On the other hand, we technically don't know that about any of our fellow humans, either.

True.

What is the difference between a computer and an AI? It is a gradual transition and every computer has some intelligence. At what point would it stop being ridiculous? Why should we even draw a line?

 

I can't find your definition on Wikipedia, which seems to focus on antisocial behaviour and lack of empathy. Why don't we stick to the common definitions of words?

(Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy )

Their definition is vague and even they say sociopath and psychopath is overlapping. They also say the word has contradicting definitions.

Difference between computer and AI is that AI is a subset of computer. The kind of computer he was referring to was a simple tool.

Now an AI is able to make intelligent decisions of it's own, it is not simply a basic tool. Now if an AI became so smart it could make intelligent decisions indiscernable from a human, we still would not know if it was a pzombie or if it had any awareness inside of it.

My mother was a teacher and so if I ever was to be a teacher I made a gameplan with myself of what it would be. Colleges tend to be more lax and allow teachers more power in creating custom courses. So I would basically just lecture and email my students, but only do a couple quizzes and I would give real life problems for students to solve on their own (such as, build a vehicle that must pass the performance requirements, lego robot, etc.) If a college made me follow a dogma and rigid course setup I would not try to teach there.

According to this Quartz article:

 

 

Although I don't think it possible to synchronize music to brain "chemistry", music can affect our mood and mood is merely an expression of brain function. Essentially, what this article discusses isn't much of a revelation. We've known since Stone Age humanity's first drumbeat that music can elicit certain behavioral responses. Therefore, it isn't a stretch of credulity or ground breaking discovery that music can alter the brainwave frequencies underpinning our moods and behaviors. The article attempts to make a distinction between synchronizing music to brainwave frequencies as opposed to taste--which was a distinction lost on me because brainwaves also underpin our tastes.

I have not much faith in this, but I am very open minded so I would like to try and to beta test this technology.

Also, I would like to mention Stephen Wolfram's excellent math expertise, but his automatic music generation program did not make very interesting music.

Ok but only the correct anti oxidants in the right amount have an noteworthy effect. You might want to have a look in nrf2-activators.

Resveratrol is also proven to be able to help depression. Resveratrol is present in many berries and in red wine.

Im too tired to google and research nrf2 activators right now. I trust you are expert enough in the topic to tell me the right blend of amounts I need. Just tell me what ingredients and amount of ingredients I need in a smoothie and I'll drink it.
