  1. Stranger things

    I did get that impression already from the little drawing of the (banner} horse.
  2. Haiku Chain

    I do not exist bought the t-shirt. Then fixed it. Yes. Been there, done that.
  3. Wild cats

    Lynx, my totem animal.
  4. Stranger things

    As I see it: if nobody does anything, no evil deeds get done. Wuwei.
  5. Stranger things

    A lot of (all?) evil deeds are rooted in righteous indignation. How can you be sure you are on the right side?
  6. Stranger things

    @old3bob Beats me why you keep on posting about ‘doing something’. I asked you before if you do something and you didn’t reply to that, so I assume you don’t. You did say you do some charitable donations, but that imo does not constitute ‘doing something”.
  7. Albania now has an AI government minister. https://www.politico.eu/article/albania-apppoints-worlds-first-virtual-minister-edi-rama-diella/ https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/19/world/video/ai-minister-ablania-ldndigvid
  8. AI is now a government minister

    AI requires lots of energy and water, and we already have an energy crisis. More nuclear power and desalination might in future solve this problem. But I expect AI robots will be more and more used in wars, and become almost like human soldiers. Then I expect the AI agents to take control using this army and either enslave or kill all humans.
  9. Don't worry be happy?

    I don’t know which “we” you are talking about, but please exclude me. I hope and endeavour to “do not.” Ad hominems, I find it’s use totally pathetic.
  10. Very slow here most of the time.
  11. Hi Everyone!

    Hi. Welcome to the forum.
  12. Greetings!

    Hello dragon (I presume). Welcome to the forum. Lots of different views on the forum. I personally think it depends on the person. Sounds to me you prefer to be without a Path and do your own thing. I’d say, observe your gut reaction when reading a post, that will tell you what you yourself think.
  13. Hello!

    Hi Parizottoz, welcome to the forum (all the way from Paris ). I like the chakra system too.
  14. don't quite buy it

    It’s merely cosmetic.
  15. What does that mean “sung”?
  16. Why? Why make yourselves unbalanced?
  17. That did make me laugh. But imo all Chinese stuff is about the balancing of the two. E.g. DDJ ch. 42: Everyone turns their back on the yin and embraces the yang, But it’s the blending of yin and yang that creates harmony. 萬 物 負 陰|(wan4 wu4 fu4 yin1) 而 抱 陽 也 (er2 bao4 yang2 ye3) 中 氣 為 和 (zhong1 qi4 wei2 he2)
  18. don't quite buy it

    Lol, too true. I never talked to Maddie again after she did that with me.
  19. don't quite buy it

    @Nungali Yes, I’m familiar with the problem with some of the laity in the church I go to.
  20. don't quite buy it

    I totally agree. And I think these “reflection” ideas are meant to be used to improve yourself; not to shut up other people.
  21. The Mahāsiddha Reclamation

    @dwai I love the trailer, looks great, catches the imagination and very atmospheric. I had a quick look at the preview of ch. 4.; it’s well written and interesting (e.g. silent communication). I wish you best of luck with the book.
  22. Final Fire Horse Poll

    That’s this, and (E-RIFF IRE) is secret code from Ireland.
  23. Final Fire Horse Poll

    Fire horse modernised: fire + horse power
