  1. We should have a holiday where we celebrate the insignificance of our religiously designated calender systems. Which day should it be?

  2. Woo, I'm in Paris

  3. Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem. meh...

      Oh, those links. Those are books which I haven't read, and don't own... but read their descriptions, because they are relevant to understanding my confusion.

      But again, most importantly, I don't really understand the theorems that well. I've just read a lot of interpretations, summaries or simplifications.

      No. I'm not. My problem actually is: I wish I understood the theorems better. I'm not sure how significant they are, or what they imply beyond logic systems. I've read somethings about how people mistake the point of them, or uselessly drag them to an extreme level of profoundness, and then prioritize their influence on the development of their own work (I think that's what I read, but I'm not so clear about whatever blog thing I was reading).

      I wish Joatmon kept going. The simple solution is just to copy the second half and make a second post. I certainly would not be annoyed. :)

  7. New band name: Random Walks on Symplectic Manifolds . . . . one day I might try to make music :D

  8. It's kind of cool running 16x aniso, 8x multi sampling, full bloom + shadows + real time reflection in 16:10 @ 80 fps . . . . now if only I knew how to fold proteins :/

      That's for the meantime pleasure, until you're ready for protein folding or whatever.

      You're right. I was immature and rude. Sorry.

      Because my eye lashes are just so long. They make me blind and keep lashing around! There's your humor, and (useless) reason too.

       

      Yet, "The fruit of omniscience is Immortality." has neither reason or humor. Again, this is just lame... literally: nothing useful or effective. And it sounds like religious crap too.
