PD may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. If PD splits open, do not look directly at resulting goo. PD is still legal in 14 states.

How many people think that the word "irreligious" describes their views?

It's not especially new, but it's news to me.
Anyhow, who wants to bet the Pentagon will seize this technology as soon as it's finished and repurpose it for interrogation coverups?
That is, after all, how they got PEPs.

Its considered in bad taste to name randomly, after pop culture, or after yourself. Remember the Draconis hogwartzia? This is why we can't have nice things.

I admit, the need to have some sort of universal meaning/higher consciousness/personal essence/whatever is completely mystifying to me.
Isn't life amazing enough and interesting enough as it is?

Is it weird that I sort of wish I did believe in something, even though it's silly/stupid/total bullshit?
Quote from: GA on October 22, 2008, 04:29:11 AMi try to avoid the concepts like stupid and worse and good. i'm sticking with the matter of scale and temporal permanence...
Would you agree that there are "meanings" that people come up with that are, quite frankly, stupid? If so, then the universe's super-set of meanings is actually worse than just the collection of "good" meanings.

Anyway, what I was trying to get at was why is meaning generated by a universe-consciousness relevant? Even assuming that the universe really is the greatest possible thing, why should any meaning generated by it also be greatest? Why couldn't a "lesser" being come up with a "greater" meaning than the universe?
