Antiquatis Discussion Fora

Was it a mainstream report by any chance? I know plenty of young people training as trade apprentices and several parents who have very smart kids plus they don't let them play with smart devices all day long. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be hard to train these Minecraft players to use actual tools ...

Apparently not... 500 years of "vested interest" make it unlikely that they will just drop their project... But why waste their time at all? 500 of our years may be irrelevant to them, but surely with the likely technology and resources they must possess, they could do what they wanted here in just...

...add up to one thing: we're being invaded. To what end... why? "Own" the planet? Done. "Eat" the planet's life? Ongoing, and easily ramped up. Simply destroy the planet? Surely the poisons and weaponry are available even domestically. As an earthbound invader, maybe just control EVERYTHING - incl...

Hard not to offend when it comes to religion; or politics.

The ignorance just baffles me... all that information is at anyone's fingertips.

Ever notice Space X lately? And they seemed to have added a 4th alternative: Singularity , becoming a cybernetic life form that can exist in a toxic environment. Seriously, Space X?? I am agreeing with more than a few sources that that is mostly bullshit CGI and the associated fakery. Especially th...

Don't forget to mention the soft-porn of the orgy... yeah, yeah... that's great for "kids."

ZOLTAN! is good, bu my favorite part is the "Duuude, you got a tattoo..." exchange.

Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. Ugh... brutally true. Endured some blathering idiot the other day; said to my daughter: Do you know how he got that way? He was raised in a family of idiots, and he was just slightly below norm...

Whoah... a decent movie. Netflix - Anon . It matters not what the "critics" are saying... I am saying that this is worth a watch. Nothing earth shaking, but I found the cinematography perfect, and the acting better than average - I do like Clive Owens. Some mentioned that the overall result is simpl...

Thanks; more info into the big story.

This is actually the first time I've seen someone else talk about this eye technique--try it and see what happens. I'd be very interested in what you "see" doing this. (Mine is different from described.) A whole lot of nothing... really. If you want to check your color vision: http://enchroma.com/t...

I am puzzled as to why they keep doing "remakes" of old shows... particularly since the remake has little in common with the originals. Anyone writing with any real wit would have a field day with just about every aspect of government and society... can't allow that. It seems they are just " name d...

Spoilers follow... I just watched a couple episodes of the newest "remake" (aka "re-envisioned") version of the 1965 Sci-Fi series, Lost in Space . I'm sure Irwin Allen is turning in his grave over this one... Someone, somewhere, mentioned that this show was "good". Wow. Toby Stephens [acting] is g...

More transhumanism...

Read Dan Brown's latest: Origin

Openly promoting the great benefits to be gained from transhumanism, although he never labels it as such.

I took a look at the Tychos model and I would think that Ceres would be the antipode to the sun in such a model, only 1.3 AU further out, as it is located at the position that a supernova explosion would have left the "B component" (white dwarf) during RS solar system formation. The changing "white...

Simon is really on to something here... I have been going through his material over the past year. If this is correct... Would the Reciprocal System and model of planets in the solar system not have predicted this scenario of a binary system using natural consequences, instead of the model shown in...

Its been like that for quite some time now. Scientists acting like priests when their belief system is being challenged. Oh, I think it's more than that. Tenure = $$$ = their cozy livelihood. Aslo the alphabet agencies keep track of these "professors"... they are "reminded" of the status quo, and t...

I'm currently rehabbing a reconstructed finger, and a modified spine. I do watch a lot of movies (mostly crapolla), but maybe a few more these days as I manipulate my wooden dowel of a finger, and stretch out my tired low back. Anyway, as you may have read from me before, I backpack - in the actual ...

When I read stories, I create the "movie version" in my head as I read along.

As cheezy as some think Robert Ludlum, I can vividly remember creating the movies in my head as I read his "Bourne" books.

Asimov's Foundation series too.

Actually, many more, now that I think about it.

When I was a kid, it was 95% reading and 5% B&W video (broadcast TV--3 channels), a few hours a week. Now it is 99% video.

"When I was your age, television was called BOOKS!"

All the talk about geologic events, and lightening reminded me of some Electric Universe stuff that I read a while back... maybe Saturn Theory or some such. Anyway, I seem to remember part of the thesis was that at one time Saturn was so close that electric discharges were generated between it and e...

What's proof is that danny's knowledge in the area would go to waste should he ascend and we'd have to carve our own paths. Though I am definitely on the path of success, it would take longer without the headmaster's faith and assistance. I wholeheartedly concur; and I don't need to expand upon it.

Someone, please explain it to me. My ideas are: 1.Education system's change. After the information explosion, the younger generation study a lot more new information but less deep understanding of the classic knowledge to gain a thorough understanding of the topic of the discussion. 2. Life style c...

For example, a turkey is capable of flying because it has wings, but does not.

Nitpicking, I know...

Wild turkeys can, and do fly - though a bit ungainly. I believe domesticated (farmed for food) turkeys, although they obviously do have wings, cannot fly.
