    What ever happened to the recipe for roman concrete. And that plant based method of birth control lost when Nero was emperor.
  2. One of my grandfathers trained in some form of inner alchemy. He wanted to teach me and my cousins when we were all around 12 years old. But literally my uncles and father said: "its not good for christians to learn that stuff of the devil". Those stereotypes are real sometimes.
  3. "non-violent in thought and action"

    ^ Our non violent future. Enjoy.
  4. apathy in any realm brings other realms down

    People love to say the only static constant in the universe is change. And so why bother defining anything as a hard this or that. In one era it may be one thing, and in another era, something completely different. In one era castles were impregnable fortresses. In another era, cannons came along and made castles obsolete.
  5. The Imagination Project

    It strengthens when exercised. Just like muscles do.
  6. The Imagination Project

    If the brain is a muscle. It only needs to be exercised.

    They should make chess pieces out of crackers wrapped in plastic. At the end of the match, he literally eats his opponents king. Much more impressive.
  9. I respect that. I also respect the lineages which accept open challenges from anyone. But why fight at all. If anyone wants to prove they're tougher or better than me. I could invite them to work harder than I'm working and produce more than I'm producing. That seems like a good win/win format to settle disputes.
  10. I said the same thing, more gymnastics than martial arts. But still a high level of accomplishment. Maybe you can appreciate this one a little more

    I always thought oil was plant matter of some type for xyz random reason. A chemist would be expected to have a better explanation for the origins of oil than I. Dinosaur bones could be high percentage carbon, which might account for the C in hydroCarbon based fossil fuels. Considering there are microbes which are known to devour oil. It is possible in past eras there were microbes which devoured organic feedstocks to produce oil as a byproduct. There were energy start ups like syntroleum that produced fossil fuels by using organic waste products as feedstock. Similar to how biodiesel used to be produced from waste french fry grease collected from mcdonalds. I don't know. Whatever is whatever. Nature is an underrated and freaky thing which sometimes has ways of exceeding its own limitations.

    The way unity is defined here is the same as good and evil defined as different sides of the same coin. Science says a single sperm cell mates with a single egg cell. Eventually resulting in an adult human composed of 40 trillion cells. When I think on this, it sounds like a miracle to me. What could it be compared to? Its like taking 1 dollar bill, mating it with another dollar bill. Then at some point down the line, you end up with 40 trillion dollars. I don't think I'm doing this topic justice. In some ways our most fundamental beliefs about nature and how the world works might be called a religion. If we think about it, a good percentage of it, sounds crazy.

    Unity with "source of all" is a religion. If that is an accurate observation than every civilized world would acknowledge it.

    If the evolution of man follows a path where we increasingly become less like apes and more like God. Then yeah we might expect to develop powers similar to God along the way to compliment our growing science capabilities. There may already be indications of it happening. Although it might take centuries or millennia to fully manifest.

    Those were the only AI edits on my timeline. That weren't political.
  16. Google Veo 3 Edit Thread

    Google Veo 3 (AI video creation software) has been out around a week. Parodies, deep fakes and photoshop edits will eventually be hitting the internet hard. Making this thread to share those grand future expectations.

    Some parts of the bible say if the end times come. Christians are not to be aggressive and are to engage in holding action only. "Turn the other cheek." People have to care if they're doing anything to further their own self interests. Which is not easy to achieve in an atmosphere of apathy and indifference.
