well considering that all we are is electrical energy taking up residence in this "skin" body that we call "human" it is a silly question

But having said that my electrical energy is firing away and telling me i subscribe to the "Butterfly Effect" notion of time travel.

That setting off variables any variables can have an unknown and staggering effect.

Why are we basing Time/Space theories off of movies and tv shows?  We\'re here today, we might be here tomorrow and we might not... End of story...

Wasn\'t refering to your post... Personally, I had to read your post a couple times to get what you were saying...  I was refering to the posts that referenced realistically - Lost, Fringe, Back To The Future, Bill & Ted and The Butterfly Effect..  

To end on a similar note to your - Why don\'t you suck a fart out of my asshole... :fart:

Oh hmmm. Maybe so, maybe not. I don\'t mind much for pure existentialism, but I have to say that I feel eternity as a series of cycles.

yes, but look at how it\'s more like an ever tightening spiral.  the coils are getting smaller and smaller and thus are leading to an eventual singularity.

here is my crude diagram:



here is some more interesting imagery:


how about linearly?


and how about this?


makes you think, eh?

and yoda, i will excrete waste and you will eat it.  and like it.

Time as we know it is a man made creation. It is tantamount to harnessing fire and the wheel in our development, but has little or no bearing on anything outside of our tiny human existence.
A man who has seen the things I have seen,
experienced the loss and pain I have experienced,
I transcend race, hombre.

TIME / SPACE is an illusion. There is only eternity. Our physical bodies are a time space vehicle. When we identify with the Time/Space vehicle we become time & space.
Our intellect wants to reason a comfortable reality. We cling to what is familiar.
What we truly are doesn\'t reason. What we truly are doesn\'t think.What we truly are doesn\'t decay.

What we truly are....  :?:

The difference between the evolution of the naturual brain and the evolution of the atrifocal brian is that one is a, from our stand point, a purely natural process.

The other, we are trying to take what we know about how our own brains function and map it to a simulation.

The day that a calculator can naturally turn itself into a super computer is the day the computers have equaled the human brain.

how is our creation of any intelligence NOT a natural process??

if we wanna look at it from a religious standpoint, god created us in his image so why shouldn\'t we have an intrinsic need to create ourselves?

and look, we\'re in a bit of a situation here on earth, if you haven\'t noticed.  Don\'t you think it\'s possible that we\'re building a new vessel for our consciousness that transcends the limitations of our current biology?  go look at the kinds of things DARPA is up to these days and then tell me we\'re not about to be faced with some major decisions about the "ethics" of the things we\'ll be capable of...

I can only comprehend discussion if it is framed around the context of Daniel Farraday, Desmond Hume, and Olivia Dunham.
