News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: FEMA camps

The order of events I got my fake news was like this
Fema Camps
Senate is Passing Bill to Imprison Americans
Senate Passes Bill
Military Officer arrested for not taking poll when asked if he would fire on American citizens.

If you were Alex Jones you couldn't ask for a more well-planned sequence of events.

I was awfully, horrifically certain that I could Change Things if I could just manage to make people aware of the raw power and capability of their own bodies. I boiled down any philosophy, worldview to that one point. You are in control of your body, which is where any line of action must inevitably start from. Your physical being is the beginning of every single influence you could have over the entire fucking universe. Fucking EMPOWERMENT.  :lol:

Which, while true or not*, is completely moot because the majority only care about their bodies in the most superficial ways. If that.



* It's not.

One's "locus" (Latin for "place" or "location") can either be internal (meaning the person believes that they control their [body]life) or external (meaning they believe that their environment, some higher power, or other people control their decisions and their life).
Please note that I am asserting* this is absolute fact.

Until I clicked this thread, I assumed when I saw the "Game of Thrones" thread popping up here that it was some sort of role playing game.  :lol:

Back to your regularly scheduled discussion...

Yeah welcome to the club. I checked it out on HBO's site. The first episode ends with some guy killing a kid because he walked in on him cheating with some hooker (nice). then he's all like "what I wouldn't do for love"  :rimshot:

Well I like the guy. I wouldn't call him retarded I'd just call him mistaken. Unless he mistakes himself for a retard then there's no doubt about it

So, you think at some point Google will be done, having built the perfectly identical virtual world with an identical virtual version of me, and then big G can go about its own business violating its own damn virtual simulated privacy?

Since you didn't quote me I'm gonna go ahead and assume you were addressing somebody else's virtual utopian nightmare scenario..

Literate Chaotic / Re: ITT: Original Story Ideas
August 12, 2011, 04:13:45 AM
The main principle of this story involves compumancy. That is, using a computer as a medium just like any medium:
Ouija board, tarot cards, throwing bones. Throwing bones like the Africans practiced to "predict the future" was a practice of using a chaotic medium such as randomness to bridge a gap between those who are living and the so-called dead.

A simple piece of cardboard with letters scribed on it and a cardboard planchette is as much as medium as anything else on the planet.

The accelerate factor is human interaction and observation. Science is observation. Instead of a few people placing their hands on a cardboard planchette, possibly a crowd-sourced "group" of people participate in this "virtual board" which produces thousands of words per second.

Elsewhere an internet entrepreneur invests in running huge amounts of computing power into contacting these so-called "signs of life" in other realms of reality, and it begins to show signs of interpreting white noise/randomness/chaos at a rate no human could possibly prevously attain:
Ouija boards working at 7 million cycles per second, RNGs actively spitting out numbers and letters.
Kind of like "SETI" but for different realms.
At first there are just small sentences, then they become more descriptive. Then there is some kind of a cutoff and the machine has stopped giving "good data".
Whatever voice on the other side has attempted to use it's enhanced ability to set words in type to write code, AI code which it intends to be the AI containment box it possesses.
