Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

I'm writing a paper about the abstract definition of chaos.

Anyone have any recommended readings that are more chaos vs order centered and not discordia centered?

Entropy.


Sure, it's a short paper, but accurate.

The more I learn about entropy the less I think of it as a chaos phenomenon.  It's the reason why things happen the way they do.

I got made admin of a huge philosophy group despite the fact that I specifically said that I don't want to be admin and have low tolerance for philosophiical wankery.  :kingmeh:

Reply to every single thread with "Actually, that's wrong." Ideally, after several people have voiced their dumb ideas.

NEVER type anything else in the group.

:lulz:

I asked them why they decided to admin me. It's because of my training in psychology and biology, and because I have extensive past admin experience.

THE FACT THAT I SAID THAT I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN BEING AN ADMIN WAS APPARENTLY A NON-FACTOR. :lol:

How are you defining chaos, here?

Absolutely heartbroken today.

I knew 3 of the crew on the El Faro. They're still searching, but it's not good. I don't know if it's been reported in the media yet but in addition to all the debris and the oil slick, they've found a heavily damaged empty lifeboat and a survival suit in the water with unidentifiable human remains inside of it. Guessing the other lifeboat never even got deployed because of the 15 degree list they reported, and even though the rafts are rigged to hydrostatic switches so they automatically deploy, good luck trying to swim to and climb into a rubber raft in the middle of a category 4 hurricane.

Maybe.  Empty survival suits are worse.  In this case, the implication is that the guy had time to get into it.

Maybe someone else had time, too?  Probably not.  But we don't know yet.

My response:

QuoteI disagree that substance abuse is an illness.  I think this is pampering criminals, and actually enouraging them to use their mariguanga weed bong injectors, right in public.  They exist only to get high, listen to their devil music, and attack anyone so foolish as to come within the arc of their grasp.

I feel that the best solution is to drug test everyone in the country, and put everyone who tests positive for mariguanga onto Alcataraz, where they can do productive hard labor - breaking rocks, for example - for the rest of their lives.
