Philosophy

Hi guys, We have been discussing about how debates are handled here and we have decided some guidelines are needed. please note these are not ultra strict guidelines, as you all know, we are usually pretty flexible with these kinds of things. this is what we have drawn up, any questions pease go ahead. these guidelines are liable to change during initial stages of implimentation. (we will let you know if we change it.)

I have been disputing the decimal system in my head for a while... I may have spoken to others about it once in a while, but It is always bugging me... It is stupid. 10 does not divide evenly. it goes like this - 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125, 0.15625 ......... and so on, it's absolutely ridiculous.. why on earth we are still stuck in this senseless system is beyond my sense of reasoning. of course a better system has been invented and is used for some things. I actually devised a similar system myself before i actually realised that some clever guy had already done it. it stands to reason. to figure it out you take the base number - 1, then double it …

Alright, let's stop griping about what I do for work, and more into real philosophy. What is the meaning of life? What is your raison d'etre? What is the proof that humanity deserves to exist? It's something that everyone thinks about every so often. It's pretty unlikely any of you have come to a conclusion, but I'm interested in discussing what you've come up with so far, so that we may pool our experiences, and maybe form a cohesive construct of what life means for a middle age person (age 15-40), which is the age range of this thread, if not this board. By no means am I asking you to reach a conclusive end now, however I'd like to know what you think it is at …

I started the exact same post back on WG and the responces where intresting so I'm curious to see what everyone here at japan-legend. As for myself, I don't believe in any god. I've come to the conclusion that god and religion alike are nothing more then instruments of human concence and the fear of death.

First off, I'm not really sure if I am posting this in the right section. Please feel free to move or delete should the contents be inappropriate or offensive. Well, like the topic says, why do jerks and creeps keep getting the girl when they are totally annoying or irritating. I may have a theory on this. Of course this may not be 100% true for all, or may not be true at all. I thought that maybe for some reason, those girls wanted to stay with those kind of People is probably insecurity. Not in the sense that the guy could protect the girl, but rather the girl would feel secure that the guy they are going out with would repel certain competition. That perhaps the…

Okay, this was posted as a myspace bulletin, and I found it too interesting not to pass on. Before you flame me, remember: it's not mine. I didn't write it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The vast majority of Americans believe that God exists, that Jesus is his son, and that God himself gave us the Bible and the Ten Commandments. In fact, Supreme court Justice Antonin Scalia has said that "Ninety-nine percent of Americans believe in the ten commandments." He has also said, "What the commandments stand for is the direction of human affairs by God." If 99% of Americans believe in the ten commandments, how can the Bible be repulsi…

It's interesting when something dreamed up inspires someone else to take the ideal and make something real from it... http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/an...athin_anime.php

I was just thinking about relaivity again. I'm sorry it just doesn't sit right with me and I guess it never will. well I was thinking along these terms.. they say that you cannot go faster than the speed of lilght. however, the escape velocity of a black hole is said to be FASTER than the speed fo light. so here is what I don't get... there is a speed faster than the speed of light. that speed exists. theoretically that speed is a fact. it is the escape velocity of a black hole. so... gravitons go faster than the speed of light... right? because that is how a black hole works, with gravitons, isn't that what gravity is? also the fabric of space is faster than…

Sorry i may repeat myself via changing the words and such if i do. Well really silly question and i am sure somewhere someone has asked this but i am not sure where, but what would happen in the world of the Guyver if it was crossed with say x-men or x-men evolution. Like i know that humanity was created via bioscience and though selective breeding with the aim of survival of the fittest, like with the other creatures the Creators made that way but humanity had the best potential as from what i remember two three things that stuck out were; 1) adaptability- changing and improving when need though there bodies did not do this but the way they went about the problems? …

Rather then simply cutting a opponent the high frequency spear could supposedly cause bodies to disintegrate, I wanted to know, what made this weapon different from other high frequency weapons, was it because it impaled rather then cut or is it something else?

Raymond Kurzwell is a futurist. He basically speaks of an insanely cool theory called the singularity where science and techology (largely assisted by as yet unmade super computers) are so fast at developing new techonologies that it is practically instantaneous. No deleopment time just a few seconds for your personal nano fabricator to make this new thing for you and the rest of the world. The guy believes by 2020 computers will be as smart as a human and by 2045 computers will be a billion times more intelligent than every human on earth combined. It is around 2045 we reach the singularity. And for anyone who thinks 'maybe'. This guy accurately predicted the fall of …

Theres been a discussion on xmen and the Guyver suit and how they would/could interact.... its made me think about how the Guyver actually interacts with the human body... Seeing as the Guyver is a 'human body instant remodelling system' that means that it 'remodels' or restructures the human body fundamentally at a cellular level, we know this in that it restructures the DNA to strengthen the muscles, bones, heart and eyes... it also interacts with the human body by degenerating the lungs and other internal organs. i didnt realise that the Guyver totally restructered Shos body... so does that mean the only thing that remains of Sho when he bioboosts are his brain, deg…

just a thought really about how a merged or combined technology of the radium and creator tekkaman and Guyver on a human. as from what i understand a person in a tekkapod undergoes a transformation that brings them to a near perfect form making them stronger than a normal human while not transformed. while when a Guyver makes the changes when they transform, then the armour for the tekkaman is longer to repair and a fewer weapons than a Guyver which isn't as tough but can regenerate faster than the tekka-armour then the weapons ar more and as powerful. so what would the combined be like, more powerful mega-smashers as they are combined with the main weapons of the tekka…

Ok, it seems this is a subject not talked about much but is very noticable in the Guyver universe. What are some theories about female optimization when a woman wants to become a zoanoid or a zoalord? One topic that is of current interest is pregnancy and optimization. If a woman gets optimized, then would she loose the ability to reproduce and in turn just become a type of lost number? Or, would there be any special precautionary measures taken during processing to make sure that this doesn't happen? Everyones thoughts?

We talk about teleportation of the Zoalords in another thread. Those who clearly can are : - Alkamphel - Cabral Khan - Yentsui - The Black Knight Those who seems to be unable to : - Shin (flyed to help Purgstall) - Purgstall (flyed to meet the Gigantic) - Balcus (escaped the arizona base thanks to yentsui) - Guyot (escaped from Alkanphel, simply running) Not sure : All the others... BUT How did all the zoalords appear at the top of Relic Point in book 08 ??? They appear in a big thunderbolt, just like they came for the sky... Do they used an unknown power of Purgstall ?? I don't think that Alkanphel made them appear here. He was fighting Guyot. Any ide…

At the moment Agito has two navigational spheres which Sho used to create the gigantic armour, what if Agito or Sho were to use these spheres to create a new upgrade armour on top or the existing Gigantic. Could this new Guyver exist and if so how strong would it be?

if an object gets more massive as it approaches the speed of light... it must cause a big gravity well. because gravity is usually proportionate to mass. and you need more energy to create that.. but i was looking at ionocrafts.. and what happens is that the voltage crates a gravity well that the object falls into... what if you could combine tejh two effects in some way? or what if you could split the mass of an ogject.. what if you could concentrate that mass along 1 dimension and aim it at a black hole.. teh mass could attract each other and the object would move faster than light.. it would be warp drive. what about a hill? if you have a heavy object a…

Well, I just finished reading a VERY interesting group of articles about the myths of evolution. What both People that believe in, and against have got wrong about it. It's actually very interesting. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/life/d...p;nsref=dn13620 Check out a few of the things. It points out such things like how half a bird's wing is actually usefully, and that since evolution is gradual, half useful traits can evolve into wings, but sudden leaps that are next to impossible will most definetely never allow zebras to develop built in machine guns. Even though the zebra's could REALLY use them against lions. It even goes in and talks about morality, and …

I've recently spent some time up in Northern California, which has seemingly become a refuge for ex-hippies and a sanctuary for students who didn't take their lives seriously, usually a victim of one too many doses of LSD. I spent several hours amongst them, in their smoking circles in the grass meadows surrounded with rich red woods, just west of the UC Santa Cruz campus. Most of the things they talked about were meaningless, reminents of false revelations from their last acid trip. What stuck with me the most was this illusion they had that everything could be solved with love. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not so pessimistic to think that love is pointless or unreal. It …

Hello there, i've been thinking about this for a while now, if you look at Aptom and his ability to absorb other zoanoids powers, then look how he is evolving with each new power he takes into himself, is it me or does he look more and more like a zoalord! dont forget how he looked when we first met him, just like a Guyver only not as powerfull. my idea is this, the Guyver is a highley adaptable bio wepon, with some powers just like a zoalord, ie gravity control, teleportation ( when the Guyver first appears ) telepathy, ect. now if aptom does eat a zoalord and absorbes it's powers, then i beleve that he will become the Guyver only without a control medal. ie the perfect …

Okay, just checked back on an older Manga issue... the advent left 20 MILLION YEARS AGO! I was under the assumption they left only a million years ago. I don't care if they increase their technology at snail speed, they must be ludicrously advanced by now. Alcanphel is banking on numbers and his hopes he can bond with a Guyver unit... else they stand no chance in an all out attack. It also makes me more certain that apollyon is not directly involved with the Advent. Twenty MILLION years and they give a damn now? Looking iffy. ************************************* This topic was getting out of control in the orignial thread topic that it started in so it has thus been m…

I've debated this with People in hte past so I decided to lay this horse to rest. ok zeo made a rather wild claim in hte recent debate so I wanted to test his theory. I quote zeo as actually I find this manner here kinda insulting considering my results. I'm not judging. just the debate which we always disagree on. it's not a personal jab. now the part i find insulting is the phrase "it really is a simple matter"... because dude. this is not simple as you so readily demonstrated by sizing that meteor up as 1,800 km (thereabouts) here is a reconstruction demonstrating these sizes as you typed in your diagram. now this is a side elevation, but even looking…

so when a zoanoid transforms into it's battleform, it seems to gain mass? well first off I think we need to confirm this factor. what evidence do we have that a human form does not have great mass? (the only one i can think of is mizuki helping fumio... but that may or may not be reliable. there may be other factors involved.) can we come up with some way of explaining how a human form has the same mass as his battleform? if not, and there is really a mass discrepancy, how can we go about explaining it? we have already had some idea, but maybe we need to clear it up. while we are talking about this, I think that a good subtopic to be involved in this maybe at …

Me and my cousin play a lot of games. rpg and heroclix and such. So we wanted to add the Guyver into certain Games and we came up with a few questions and a few brain teasers. at least for me. We got the basics mostly covered but when how his powers worked it came up with a few problems during gameplay. so my first question is this... His sonic busters. Are they similar to the powers of the mutant banshee? The Manga showed he can use it to atomize targets by resonating to their resistant frequencies, and it showed him using it as a means to escape by letting out a distorting pulse. like a really high pitched wail. Ok, now in the new series it went a step further. Wh…
