Because days don't divide into years evenly.

Ok, so the Gregorian calendar isn't as accurate as the Mayan system.

Beats mindlessly plowing the field for hours on end.

 

I mean, you can't argue that the average 4th-century peasant led a richer intellectual life than modern humans.

Obviously not, the topic is evolution. The questions is how do we evolve from here. I'm suggesting it starts with the way we think, and the way we look at things. The brain is more electrical than anything, it seems to me that we are wasting it away.

Think about that for a minute. We know how accurate the various calendars are, because our measurements and observations are vastly more precise than those of the Maya (or Pope Gregory). This is because we have so much better tools than they did, and vastly more extensive understanding of astronomical events. All the Maya could do was measure angles by hand and look at the sky with the naked eye. Given that, the accuracy of their measurements was extremely impressive, but it still shows its limitations.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but why are we still unable to come up with a system that does not use a leap year?

It doesn't serve you right. However, human beings are quite capable of receiving electromagnetic waves in a narrow spectrum with structures called "eyes."

 

As for emitting, we can't help doing so if we have a temperature above absolute zero, just like anything else. It's not done on purpose, though.

Based on string theory isn't it quit logical that we can emmit waves since the entire basis of string theory is how everything is made up of vibrating frequencies which we can describe as waves or "strings". The reasons why we know so little about the pineal gland is because we have forgotten how to use it over time.

Human beings are capable of receiving and emitting electromagnetic waves with our own brain. It's called the pineal gland if memory serves me right.

The Maya calendar is not more advanced than ours.

It is more accurate than the Gregorian calendar which we use today.

are you proposing they studied astronomy by being nearsighted? notice acontradiction there?

That's exactly what I'm suggesting. How else were they able to view the stars and come up with a calendar that's far more advanced than ours, depending on the critic, one can suggest that it foretells the future.

OK, so what if this evolution isn't something that you can physically see, it's a big change in the way we think...

Humans nowadays think in a linear sense.

School is over.

You walk home.

You do homework.

You watch TV.

Shower

Go to bed.

Now of course your's may be different but this is just your average teenager.

Our brain works based on routine functions, and today we are totally fine with it. So you see how one can argue that our way of thinking has changed over time, essentially it has worsened. We sit in front of the TV and let it eat away hours of our time, perhaps even brainwashing us.

It's said and done. It's true and it happened. It wasn't like I planned this, my curiosity led to this discovery. Now my question is: Could this be the same way the ancient mayans viewed the stars?

I fail at trying to put my point across. Nevertheless, I think anybody will agree when I say that human beings are far more capable than what we currently think we are. It is possible for us to evolve as a species within the next 10-20 years and see essentially big global change, but that's so hard to do when your living in America because everybody is overconcerend with themselves all the time. It's like we are naturally limiting ourselves. Good discussion either way.

You're nearsighted and you can read a physics book. Whoop de freaking do.

You are a great example. Now, in your perspective you may look like you know it all. But an outsider reading your text assumes you are just another smart-ass. We as humans communicate with each other on a limited scale.

We are living in the most peaceful time in our existence.

That's the problem with us. Your world may be peaceful, but in reality your nextdoor neighbor's world may be hell. Your sister's world could be hell. Most of the population in other 3rd world countries may be HELL. But we as humans only look it at in one perspective, and fail to see the big picture.

It truly is a remarkable thing that I have discovered. I don't know all the equations or anything but I combined Einstein's theory of relativity with Newton's law of motion, and it made me look differently at everything.

I think the point is that what you can do isn't all that remarkable. It's part of being very nearsighted.

 

Would you happen to know the strength of lenses you need for your eyes? As in, the number of diopters of correction or something. Just so we get an idea just how nearsighted you are.

Now what if I told you that this has helped me come up with my own unified theory on life.

Then why did they all die of smallpox?

 

Seriously, the past was not some mystical magical natural fairy-tale. We were *never* like the Navi. Pre-civilization humans were and still are constantly wracked by disease and frequently engage in wars.

 

Seriously, go actually *visit* some modern "primitive" tribes. They aren't singing Kumbaya all day while communing with nature and sucking ambrosia from flowers. They're working *hard* to grow crops and hunt food, they lose most of their kids to illness before they even grow up, and they'd stab their own gods in the testicles for a year's supply of anti-malaria drugs.

 

Ever hear of sickle-cell disease? It's a genetic disorder prevalent among those of African descent, but it's mild form grants immunity to malaria. Stop and think about that for a second. Having a gene that means 25% of your kids *automatically* die, resulted in *more reproduction* than having no defense against malaria. Kind of puts things into perspective.

 

Seriously, come off the whole "noble savage" "ways of the ancients" shit. It's been proven wrong, can be seen as wrong by anyone who cares to visit these tribes, and is really annoying. These people wage constant wars, treat rape as a general fact of life, and rarely live past 40. The leading cause of death in many extant primitive tribes is either war/murder or disease. That's not based on shitty movies, it's based on actual people actually going there and actually counting who died of what.

 

There's no magical peace or amazing spiritual meaning in the "old ways", just lots and lots of diseases, mostly diarrhea-based.

Ok, you just wrote 3 paragraphs and proved absolutely nothing. The Mayans never died of smallpox, smallpox didn't even exist until 10,000 years later. But ignorant people like you probably just say or think whatever they want because they were spoiled and pampered throughout their childhood. As I was saying, human beings nowadays are lacking something that we do no possess anymore. People like you are disrespectful and act as if you are better than those around them, when in reality you are just 1 out of nearly 7 billion. Our planet isn't doing so good if you haven't noticed...global catastrophes, economic slumps, wars....etc. The ancients used to have a way of being that involved higher levels of consciousness. Obviously we lack that form of consciousness when we have people like George Bush swindeling away billions and putting our country in the economic disaster it is in.

And sure we have these great technological advancements that are great. Life spans are greater, we are better connected, we can communicate instantaneously, we have medicines, essentially everything we need. But we are lacking something called morals. Over the years we have grown corrupt by these things and we don't know how to treat eachother. If we ever want to advance as a species we have to know how to use our brain to its full potential, we have to learn how to accept other ideas, and we need a better system.

Kid, you're nearsighted, not superman. Let it go.

This is all a true story. Why jump to conclusions so fast without even knowing the facts?

Right, I'm referring to this:

 

 

 

So if the objects do get blurry, that is indeed your nearsightedness naturally. I can do similar things but not to the same extent, as I'm not too terribly nearsighted.

 

My dad, however, was once helping his college roommate determine the gender of fruit flies under the microscope, and he discovered he could do itr by just taking his glasses off and looking at them very hard. Without a microscope. Now that is nearsighted.

Ok so what if I told you this: When I place a water bottle over my eyes and do this thing with my eyes and just focus in on the light, I am able to see the entire cosmos...would you still believe me

You mean the whole "dying of cholera" way of life? Thanks but no thanks.

No...What if we as humans are missing a big chunk that the ancients possessed-such as the Mayans. They obviously had something right if they were able to view the stars the way they did. But the way we think today is preventing us from this "ancient" way of thinking because we only care about money and material goods that weren't available years and years ago. These possessions control they way we think and treat other people.

When you view objects as very large, are they blurry or perfectly clear?

 

As for water bottles... they act as natural lenses due to their shapes. It's perfectly possible to make a magnifying lens with some clear plastic sheet and some water, for example.

I may have misunderstood you but yes when I do this "thing" with my eyes everything around me gets very blurry, but objects up close turn very fine

What if he's right? What if we do know nothing? Or everything we believe is wrong?

This is not a magnification that you describe but rather a loss of focus.

Correct a loss of focus because I lose focus of other objects such as a table and other things, but I am able to view this "light" at a much bigger level than your average human being...now what if I told you that when I place a water bottle over my eye when I do this and put something rather small on the other side such as a hair clipping I can see it at a microscopic level, just as if I am looking thru a microscope...What does this mean?

ok it's a natural side effect...so this is a natural microscope...now what if i told you that when I look at a christmas light from 20 feet away it appears the size of a baseball, and I am able to expand the light and make it appear even larger. Would you still believe me?

Could it be- a new way of thinking...Using other parts of the brain?

Maybe over the year's we as humans have forgot the true meaning of life? Money and material goods are seemingly controlling our lives and also corrupting it. People get paid on TV nowadays just to be happy- when there are little kids dying each day of hunger, but these so called "icons" do not acknowledge it. Our government is run by these officials but we do not know what is going on behind close doors. We watch the TV day by day and listen to these people, but we still do not have a clue what is going on in our government, and in the world around us. We all kind of live in our own little world.

But what if one were to start expanding ideas, thinking radical thoughts that challenged the ideas of even Einstein. What if it were possible to tune in to other dimensions and be able to tune back to fit in with today's society? Is that the problem? Today's society prevents this new sort of radical thinking? Nowaday's we all kind of do our own thing and don't think twice about it? What if that's it though, we're all kind of limiting ourselves by our own actions and thoughts. I'm sure if you were born thousands of years ago you would not be the same person you are now.

I believe there are far higher forms of consciousness available but the local and global society we live in today prevents us as humans from thinking like this. If we all started using our brains to it's full potential I'm almost certain everybody would change and start "seeing" the big picture.

If I told you that my eyes can act as a natural microscope.

I am very near-sited which means that I cannot see a thing within 5-10 feet. But my eyes have a unique trait that allow them to focus-in and de-focus, which allows me to see things such as my eyelashes at a very close up view which makes them transparent. You don't have to believe me, but what if this were possible? What sorts of things should this human be doing with this trait?

Perhaps there are other levels of consciousness that we as humans have forgot over the years? Or perhaps some of us know how to achieve higher levels of consciousness and other's simply don't.
