Essay #2- This Was Supposed to be About Water...

[Mitok Thendorblurt]

   Liquid is a form of matter, and the most fun form at that. Water is liquid, liquid is water. All liquid is always unpredictable. Always. Those who call themselves geniuses say they can calculate how high water will splash if the object is so-so measuring unit at so-so speed unit. Dumb. They are not calculating the water; the water is letting them know how high it goes. Why would it? Just Because. The calculation is an interpretation of water; the water is not an interpretation of the calculation. This is a small example of order just being another way to try and interpret chaos, which is, in actuality, uninterpretable, and therefore, order is only an interpretation, and a bad one at that. Everything must happen for a reason, right? That reason is: Just Because. Calculations, science, math, and parfaits are all just failed attempts at finding an answer to absolutely anything. Just Because is our greatest gift from Eris, for she has given us Just Because. Just Because is Truth, and it is Reason. Science tries to give a reason to Reason, when the reason of Reason is No reason. Just Because.
   After consulting my pineal gland about this matter, I discovered a story. It was back in the days of Greyface. He was pondering to himself on how to mentally and physically put everybody in separate folders in a filing cabinet. He then started to ask questions to further his tyranny of false order. Eris, at the time, had nothing to do, so she decided to have a little chat with Greyface. But, Greyface, being the ignorant asshole that he is, had no clue how to consult his pineal gland, so he didn,Äôt hear the advice Eris was giving him.

GF: Why are we here? There must be a reason.
E: I was fuckin,Äô around and decided to make smart animals, just to see what would happen.
GF: How can I further organize the world?
E: Dude, I want to have fun. I swear, if you organize humanity, I,Äôll just hand you anal little shits over to Aneris.
GF: Everything must happen for a reason. What is it?
E: Just Because. No Reason.

At this point, Greyface decided to come to his own conclusion.

GF: It happens because of the scientific formulations! Everything is, was, and will be science!
E: No, shit-for-brains, science and math are human creations that only copy down what they have seen so far done by the Reason.

He would have jumped for joy, but because of his beliefs, he would have to sign an application, mail it to three other Anerists, have them sign I and stamp it, send it to a renowned city leader, made sure he approved, and then wait three weeks for it to be validated by a group of Notaries. And that is exactly what he did.
   And therefore, since math and science copy the Reason, and the Reason is No reason, there is no reason for math and science.

Oh deah gawd. BMW is gonna skin you alive...

Oh deah gawd. BMW is gonna skin you alive...

Oh, deary me, I am only a poor n00blet. I take it BMW is a sciencey guy. I want to tell all like him that I never take myself seriously. These 2 essays I've posted so far are things I do when I'm bored, and if you take them seriously, either I'm a genius, or you guys are uptight. Hell, I would like to grow up to be a physisist.

50 POSTS PAYNE!!!!

[Payne]

lol. BMW is sciencey, and doesn't take kindly to debasing it even for a laugh.

However, as a n00b, you are afforded some protection until 50 posts. We try not to be too hard on the freshers before they get a handle on what this forum is like.

EDIT: as TI has pointed out, I was perhaps a little harsh there. Apologies extended.

[Thurnez Isa]

thats ok
the 50 post rule is kind of more of a suggestion then anything
gives him time to get himself acquainted with the board and all

[Mitok Thendorblurt]

Sorry, I should have murked loar before joining, but it was really jumbled up and hard to follow. Oh well. I'll learn from my mistakes.

[Payne]

Well, I recomend you just try to keep up with new posts as they come in. And look through the BIP stuff, which is something of a pet project here.

A new viewpoint is always welcome.

[Cramulus]

I'm betting BMW doesn't need people pointing out that he'd flip out about a post. If he's gonna get pissed, I'm sure he'll do it on his own. If you don't like a post, speak for yourself.

Oh look the Scrid brought us beer

[Mitok Thendorblurt]

I think I'm gonna like it here.

Yeah, I was having a 'moment'. I've apologised to the boy, and I'll apologise to BMW if it's necessary.

Is one of those beers for me?

[Cramulus]

yeah, it's all good

To the Prof

I think I've been served by the scrid IRL. My friends tell me that this is impossible and I am clearly insane. Since this time, I have been unable to focus on day to day tasks, and I am permanntly suppressing an urge to check my change.

Should I seek help?

Mit,

What you seem to be proposing is the End of Curiosity.

"Just Because" is the sound of a door slamming shut.

Don't think.  Don't question.  Just accept.



Not to mention, there's plenty of science out there that hasn't been seen yet. 



LMNO
-BMW doesn't have a monopoly on this science thing.

Even if what you say is true, Mitko, why does this mean that there is no need for science or math?  Even if it is so that the subjects of scientific study are telling the scientists how they behave, why wouldn't we want to investigate it?  If you stopped science and math we would stop having a clear understanding of our environment.  And then you would have even more "dumb geniuses" walking around.  If it weren't for primitive science figuring out that fire = ouchy burny death, we might not be around anymore.  Simple-minded example I know, but I think you know what I'm getting at.
