Antiquatis Discussion Fora

You should respect and cherish your ego, it IS your body.

But you should not deify it.

Yeah I heard about it a couple of days after, he died in LA. Too bad, that guy was one hell of an actor. G'kar was such an awesome character (which characters arn't in B5? lol).

Cool, thanks warmsylph, I will read the books before I do any analyzing then. Thanks for letting me know! (wrinkle in time was awesome)

(Dune is my absolute favorite, but this thread isn't about Dune )

Well today I saw the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I thought it was interesting. I havn't read the books since I was very small child so I barely remember what the books are like. I was wondering has anyone read the books and seen the movie? Are there major differences...

Like Blue was saying, we would hold the Ranger gatherings in the ship Looking at the Earth from space!

My point is that - is the point of all this to have some fun toys to entertain ourselves with? Well, first, they arn't really toys. Second, yes. Third, discovering them would be the most exciting part for me. I remember being on my ranch, and discovering old indian tools, arrowheads and cool lookin...

There WAS, 60 years ago. Afraid the US Military tried to get access, and there was this Earth-shattering "Ka-boom" that followed. Damn, I will keep searching. Translating the map is hard sometimes, because I have to hold the location and transform the globe to present time. And... Dulce? What is th...

Those old Galactica shots, really depicted it well. Thanks for posing the pic.

I think there is one hidden away in the Taos mountains.

There are some tribes there, so I probably am going to talk to them.

Inspiration comes from the unconcious, I would bet they are getting the inspiration for their creativity, not only from the developing SMC; but also from the archive.

Not organic? I wonder what I was looking at then. Obviously something else. Better let me drive, then, so we don't crash the first time we fly within sensor range of a girl. My mind, "Short skirt, short skirt!" LB, "Focus, focus! NO! Pull up! Pull up!" Mind, "Cleavage!" "Ahhh!" Rofl. Just remember t...

From what it looks like... they are constructed from an organic/obsidian-metal... (an organic amorphic metal?) The ship links up with the body of the user and uses the internal 'instruction sets' (on how to repair the body) to repair itself. So we just gotta 1) Get to it 2) Touch it. After it has a ...

I get excited just thinking about discovering one. What we could do with one!

Or just even some of the other very cool gadgets.

Ooh, thank you for pointing that out. I completely mis-interpreted it. Hahaha, yeah, I think you came up with about twenty different ways of representing it and I still wasn't understanding. Lol. "Parnell, EAT your FOOD." Hahhaa. What I need to do is spend a little more time when reading and writing...

I think you melted my brain for a day or two. Gimme some time to process

Thank you for the reply.

Yeah, that would be cool, King Arthur. I really liked their take on that whole legend too.

SG1 will have their hands full with Wraith coming to Earth and Ori coming to Earth!

Interesting how the Wraith require humans to 'feed' for survival and the Ori require beleivers to 'feed' their power.

Recently I have been reading about the historic philosophers in Grecian times. As well as the pre-socratics. LoneBear made an excellent suggestion, to start a thread on Heraclitus; so I will be upping it and writing a thread about some of the more noteable figures. So, what exactly is the satisfacti...

Well, it looks like the Wraith AND the Ori are a problem now! I wunder what allegory is going to come up from that.

(Maybe they will get the Wraith and Ori to fight eachother off, or I wonder if the Alterrans show up in ships too!)

Both final episodes were very cool.

Aha!! I am glad you found it a good read :) My thoughts, when writing that, were much less developed than they are now. So hopefully I will revise it soon. Elephants? I love elephants. I remember riding one at a zoo when I was a child. The elephant represents 'memory' (if I remember correctly, hahah...

I just checked out OpenCyc, and I must say, it is exactly what I had in mind. So I don't have to reinvent the wheel! It is powerful, it would enable cross referencing with its XML capabilities. Very exciting.

Thanks for pointing it out!

I havn't actually got anything up-to-date on the webserver, as I am still going through the site structure. So, you would run into alot of errors ;) Soon though it will be up, I already have the article authoring page and script up there though, with 8 book articles already in. But I am still workin...

Heraclitus is a very interesting character. You should start a topic on his ideas. Yes, so far he is my favorite of all the ancient philosophers. I already know alot of the concepts he presents, but, the way he writes and the 'reminder' factor all very much appeal to me. I certainly will start a th...

Well, I have mostly been interested in Heraclitus. But Pythagoras had a very clean idea of what 'school' was meant to be. I have been slowly chipping away at formulating some kind of a lesson plan, so hopefully something will come soon. I also am moving back to Santa Fe, NM where I can get started w...

Don't worry, i'll make sure to dress up as G'kar ;) Your insight into the Ego is, amazing. I had not thought of it that way before. The actual psychological complex of the 'ego' *is* the 'information network' of all those cells. It makes complete sense. We travel together, there is no end, brother. ...

I had an interesting thought come to me, while I was walking outside around the plum trees (they are in bloom). I don't know why I didn't make this connection sooner, but, obviously this was the right time to do so because I did. Studying the history of Pythagoras, and the Pythagorean school of thou...

I suppose, death, is the only equal of birth; in beauty? It is the beginning and ending journey of the person that populates the concept of beauty, in that context. Birth is beautiful, because someone has arrived, to experience being physical. Death is beautiful, because someone is leaving us in the...
