e.g., "a beautiful mind" I saw a preview and told my wife i bet Ed Harris' character isn't real.

...The universe doesn't get to tell us why we exist or what we are supposed to do while we are here. We get to make our own purpose and our own paths. Fuck anyone who tries to get in our way.
We are the Children of Chaos. Born of Disorder. Against the odds and because of the odds.

which only resembles certain microscopic images of the brain and only when projected/visualized in one particular way.
the observer is part of the observation
sorry i don't quite understand what you're trying to say with this remark?
are you agreeing with me?
(interesting pic plus excuse to use turtles all the way down quote = ) my understanding of the interrelationship between cosmology + quantum physics is both rusty and weak , just because clouds look like fluffy bunnies does not mean they are fluffy bunnies in some way. I was :lulz:ing because its struck me as funny when it was pointed out

See the TURTLE of enormous girth!
On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind;
He holds us all within his mind.

No one except philosophers and creationists, who don't really /understand/ what they are talking about, call it Darwinism. Okay?
the problem is Kai with the foundies is that the idea of science being in constant change and flux doesnt make sense to them. In their world they have a book that is definate (there is interpretations but definate on its validity) and so they look for the equivalent in the science world. And allthough darwins theories have evolved and developed over the years to a point that reading the "origin of species" as the definate book on evolution would be rediculas, they view that book as they would view their holy book, or as one creationist (can't remember the name) said "the grand creation myth of our society"
if you could put yourself in their shoes this way of looking at evolution as darwinism actually makes sense from their point of view... and then you can understand what we're up against, and if you think of how the 21'st century rolls along it may seem more and more that "reason over superstition" is a losing battle
I'm told one of the universal marks of existence is impermanence. If they cling to this static notion, they won't last for much longer. That sort of thinking collapses from the bottom up.
Its only a matter of time.
I just wish these intelligent design people would be more creative with their 'attacks'. It would bring more entertainment, at least. UFO conspiracy theory freaks are so much more funny.

I have yet to participate in this, but that will not last long. It sounds beyond fun. I'll definitely post some stuff around my university come August. Maybe Cainad and I can do some GASMing when we meet up, too. I'll have to talk to him about it. May also do some posting in San Antonio while I'm here, but I don't know how plausible that is. It'd be great fun to mindfuck the Texans, but I don't know that I'll be able to get into San An without my family, so... Anyway, I definitely look forward to doing this.
Out of curiosity, is the offer to mail posters out still open, Cram?
