Chinese Love

With all due respect sir, at the current moment in time, there are some 500,000 thousand discussion forums on the internet and growing, then on top of that the endless list of usenet groups. So the chance of removal from this forum is perhaps not that influencing a situation. But, in either case, I will no longer be posting in this forum after this post. I just wanted to stop by and chat a bit: I'm not much of a groopie. I like to travel the internet and experience new things, though unfortunately, virtually all people are clones of each other, so we end up having radically high levels of redundancy of websites. It's perhaps only 1 in 1 million that have something new to say, something iconoclastic and insightful. I enjoyed all your company, but time to move on. Have a nice day

Here is an example where a person has chosen himself as a demigod. Apparently Pangloss believes he has the supernatural ability to claim in absolute tems what is "stupid" and what is not; what is "moral" and what is not. Pure rational thinking is very rare in the human species. In fact, it is rather disadvantageous, for irrationality and religion often serve as motivations for people to fight and die to facilitate their reproductive success, hence the ubiquitous support of religion.

It was symbolic of what people often tend to believe: that various people can be given demi-god status. The opinion of the poster seem to imply to me that someone who finds it lucrative to work as a government fire-fighter will somehow be free of any faults and take the position of a demi-god. My opion though is that a human organism is a human organism, regardless of how he earns his money, and as such is equally capable of doing "good" or "bad" things. I did not mean to imply that I think Fire-fighters plotted the attacks, but rather that just because one makes a living as such does not make them infallable. But as i've stated before, hierarchy and people-worship is part of human innate behavior, we can't really change that. So who knows who or what humans will worship and submitt to in the future.

The skin lies outside the brain: the skin simply brings in data to the brain, where the data is organized to create a duplicate representation of what lies outside the brain.

I think a much more plausible scenario might be that Muslims indeed did it, but U.S.A./Israel facilitated their attacks. They knew when they were going to attack, where, which specific individuals would do it, and so forth. I've read things about MOSSAD having very good infiltration into every step of radical muslim groups, but keep it hush-hush because a terrorist attack on any nation is good for Israel: it brings international support for Israel in their wars against the surrounding Arabs. Again, I've just read stuff, might very well be just conjecture. I really don't have the resources to verify things like this: the CIA and MOSSAD is not any time soon going to allow the public to see what they are actually doing. Think about this: Bush comes on tv and says things like "Our CIA has uncovered so and so and this is why we should attack so and so." But then, the public just believes all this automatically. Notice that Bush needs not provide any publically tangible physical proof. He does not tell us how things were uncovered, he does not release the evidence to the public for physical scrutiny, or anything. Bush could make just about any claim and we have no idea if its true or false. the 300 million citizens have no way of verifying all the claims. Of course I just use Bush in this example, but the same is true of any politician of any persuation. All they need is good acting skills (any wonder why people loved Reagan?). Clinton had the weepy face thing down to an art, worked really well with the gullible masses. Bush also caught on quite well with the "compassionate" conservatism: I thought it was brilliant the way he cried on tv when he was talking about those students who fell off a tower-thing at that university in TExas and died.

I said I want the "real" thing, not an innaccurate mental representation of the outside world, see http://iangoddard.net/paranorm.htm

Here is an interesting article on the Israeli connection to the attacks: http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j030802.html

Aside from all the claims of moral absolutism which could be found invalid using the Scientific Method/empiricism/logic as the point of reference for judgement, would not Transtopia still be the best of all the current moral/religious systems now in existence? I think so. And you?

I want the real think. You know, like in the movie "The Thirteenth Floor" where each simulated civilization was built within another simulated civilization and no one knew for sure how high up it was before the "real" civilization existed, and even then, how would they know if even that world was "real"? So, keeping a philosophically open mind, I am willing to try to experience all the paranormal claims, if someone can tell me how to do it. PLus, being an atheist, a part of me would like to hope there is "more" to reality than my default belief: eternal death.

My position is that human organisms should be open to the possibility that the whole attack was an inside job. Just hear both sides out and see where the evidence stands. But, human genetics don't code for rationalism, but rather hierarchy: The elites on the top, the rest as "mindless" cannon fodder whose biological function is like the worker ants, to keep the queens/elites pampered and safe. The worker ants do what they are told, believe what they are told, and work, fight, and die to pamper the elites. It's no big deal really: the worker ants are very happy being the servants they are: their genes code for them to be happy and accept such a life position. So in the end, it's all good!

I want to experience something paranormal. Ideally, I would want to get abducted by space aliens, as long as I can be awake and view the whole thing, even at the price of them killing me in the end. But, I would also accept meeting deities and supernatural entities, or time-traveling or going to different dimensions. I would also like to become immortal and have god-like powers via supernatural means (since science can't do this as yet). If anyone knows how to do any of the above, please post a response so I can do it. Thanks.

There are no such things as conspiracies because our leaders and intellectual superiors never lie: they are god-like figures, unfallable, and should be worshipped and honored, and anyone should be willing to give up their lives for them.

Humans are an evolutionary dead-end and are meant to get more stupid and go to extinction. It is AI robotics that will have the ability, if built properly, to replace humans are explore the universe and beyond. The only humans that may have a chance of joining the super-robots, even integrating with them, are us Chinese and the Jewish people, both of whom prefer invitro fertilization/genetic screening over "natural" reproduction, and both of whom have very strong cultural practices ensuring that reproduction is based on quality, not quantity, and ensuring partners have high IQ genes and good health genes.
