Philosophy

Lets discuss about fear of technology... I think Technophobia is a normal reaction especially when you find that your future job is about to be replaced by a tin man or something. It may also remind us not to make machines so smart.

Hi everyone, I was talking about this topic in my audio blog in which I still haven't found the right words to describe this. Okay, as a movie buff and a story buff since since I began to know how to write stories, I began to notice the difference between the movies made more recently and the ones of the yesterday like 10 - 20 years ago. Anyone who have the same feeling? Let discuss that here intelligently and see what's the difference and what changed.

Can Sho or Agito have Children? If so, would they be born with their own symbiote?

philosophically, you most certainly can argue with that. the uranus did shape and guide the development of life on earth. but to what degree? some aspects of humanity are certainly meeting the requirements of the creators goals, but there are many facets to the nature of humanity. not all of them are completely about what the creators wanted. for a race of beings that were supposed to be weapons, humans are surely capable of an awful lot of compassion. also, consider that guyver is meant to express the traits of the host and expand them. what happens with a human host? the host is freed from the control of the creators. is this a hint towards humans true purp…

Aptom can take over a being from a simple cell. How does his intelligence transfer over? The human brain is a large organ and surely memory capacity is dependant on size. I know about instincts being genetically programmed such as 'fight or flight' but surely something as complex as a full personality and a lifetime of experiences would be beyond the cells capacity to store, even cells as unique as Aptom. Or am I wrong?

How do you think Cronos recruits potential candidates for Zoanoid processing? Do you think it is a free or forced decision of an individual? How does Cronos train potential Zoanoid candidates? What do you guys think?

This topic was made by a member from my own forum http://beyondword.forumotion.net/intelligent-debates-f15/has-the-west-lost-their-creativity-t321.htm#1778 He thinks that the media has lost its creative juices in movies.etc Discuss this

It realy bugs me when i see these vegans or vegetarians who think they are so superior. they cherish the sanctity of life etc etc. but they show a remarkable amount of ignorance whilst claiming to be more educated. they fail to see the bigger picture. first of all, they say that animals should not be eaten because it is cruel to eat another form of life. they fail to realise they are discriminating against another form of life. they are suggesting that plant life is somehow less significant than animal life. they claim that animals suffer. first off, they have no way of knowing if an animal suffers like humans. much of an animals behaviour is instinctive, they…

Just thought I'd ask some opinions regarding dealing with subordinates. I have this subordinate who is very, very poor in English. How poor you say? This is what that person said: "I just like to follow the status of supplier because until they will not entry in our store." I totally understand what it meant. But do you? I'm not really particular in punctuation, conjunctions or any of all that "Proper English" stuff. But the grammar is just plain terrible. We usually don't use English on a daily basis, but when it comes to dealing with foreign clients and customers, you cannot avoid but speak in English. Now imagine yourself talking to this person, will you be f…

what are your views on crop circles?

Ok, so this is old news, that happened a couple weeks back. But I just can't believe that this happened in the States. I never thought I'd see the day that christians, or any religious group for that, would get arrested for going to a public event, trying to spread the word, and get arrested for it. Its really kind of shocking to me. But here's the video of the four who got arrested. Keep in mind this is not the whole footage, you can see it though on youtube.

I'm sorry for being such a Thunderfoot fan, but he's just so damn interesting! As an audience, he knows how to captivate me. He gives me my intellectual fix. I'm like an addict that needs a drug. And as a geek, I feel the need to share:

What can I say, the man makes great videos. How many times has scifi shown us the interior of a nuclear reactor? Since we deal with a lot of scifi on this board, this should be interesting to many: I'm amazed at how messy it is. It reminds me of a couple of other places I've worked.

This is something that I've been wondering. We all know that in Sci-Fi a force field and/or barrier of energy is the norm for most super powered beings or battle ships. But I want to know the science behind them. What type of energy actually makes up the field? How does it really work? Can a force field be used to actually deflect a barrage of missiles and energy blasts back at the attacker? Could said force field also absorb the attack as incoming energy ans revert it as an attack on the attacker but in a totally different form of energy? Also, what would be needed to generate a field of energy that could be used as a defensive countermeasure for the body? And do we h…

Do you think it is possible, that dinosaurs (specifically carnivors) possesed some bacteria in their salivia that killed their prey no matter what, like the komodo dragon? And if they did, would it have any signifgant change in the study and understanding of them? Would it change the way scientist look at them? Footage of Komodo dragons eating their prey after the lethal bite.

So those not in the know, I recently went out with a 16yr old girl. Shortly after getting to 1st base I began to think heavily on what chemistry might be brewing. You see, I'm 20 and she is 16. The U.S.A's Law of Consent states that anyone under the age of 18 cannot give legal consent to sexual activities and any violation of these activities can result in a statutory rape felony charge. Now things got a little serious between me and the 16yr old (We just made out a little don't worry) and a part of me wants to pursue the relationship further...but I know the consequence to that and that consequence is JAIL. So 3 options came to my mind as I drove home to my apartment…

All this talk about God and Religion in my other thread reminded me of the time I was having a discussion with a colleague at my previous place of employment. The guy was great; he was great to talk to, very experienced about the world and had a military background. He was great company and I loved talking to him about anything philosophical and learned a lot from him. I can't remember what made us get onto the topic; he was born and raised Catholic but renounced his faith and became an Atheist through his personal experience. I asked him that fair enough, he doesn't believe in God, but what was his opinion on the Soul since both are pretty much hand in hand. He said tha…

Ok, so before i begin talking, i want to first say, if you are religious, I’m not challenging what you believe as part of your religion. I'm not saying there is no God, and I’m not saying you should believe so either. Now, this is kinda long, but i feel there’s a huge area of discussion here, so please bear with me. So the topic is pretty self-explanatory, how do God and the Big Bang work with one another, or does one disprove the other. Some of you might know that last Sunday Discovery channel had a new show on called Curiosity that talked about this very topic. After watching it, it raised some questions in me that I’ve thought about before, but now have a little mor…

This may be a topic that has been covered before, but ive been thiking alot about the fear of death and how my own expirience with the fear has changed. So i wanted others opinions on it. Basically, i used to be Christian, believed in heaven, hell, but always entertained the possibility that there may be nothing after death. and that uncertainty between the three possibilities made me fear death becuase i couldnt controll what came after it. But i lost my faith recently, entierly, and now my views of death have changed drastically. Now, i dont fear it at all because its not the possibility anymore its a certainty. After death, there is nothing (so say my views, yours …

It is said that life force or chi animates our physical bodies. That or it helps animate our bodies. Any idea how something like that interacts with our physical bodies to animate them?

Does anyone know if the control medal of Valcuria is made of the same substance as a normal one?

Yo! I've been wondering about Zoalord teleportation, namely how it works and its limits. During the Mt. Minikami Incident with the Relic, the entire Council teleported from their meeting place at the Arizona Base all the way to Japan without suffering any loss of power, and yet, after that incident we haven't seen any of them utilize teleportation again, unless you count Yentsui's ability to cut open portals in space (which seems alot less efficient than simply porting to wherever you wanna go like Archanfel does or like the Council did when summoned by Barcus to confront Guyot). I mean, I thought teleportation was one of the basic abilities common to all Zoalords, ena…
