Philosophy

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…

I was rewatching the Guyver tv series and came upon idea when watching the enzyme episode where it kills sho in the forest. After enzyme rips the control metal out of Guyver One the armor begins to overload and devour Sho. It took on a new appearance which has teeth and its body seemed somewhat symmetrical. I haven't read the issue in Manga so I don't know how it looked in the comic. I remember in the 12part OVA where the same thing happened it kind of looked like a mirror image of Sho only deformed. I started to think that this could be the bio boosted organism original form before the control metal bonded to it. Maybe the Advents/Creators/Uranus enslaved a parasitic rac…

http://nextbigfuture.com/2008/08/gene-ther...an-running.html Fascinating stuff. Would you do it?

I doubt the Guyver manga will go on for us to see children of 1st Generation Zoanoids(people who went through optimization), but I wonder what would happen. Would a kid of a Vamore and Razell transform into a Razell with Vamore's bio-lasers, or would he/she have to be optimized to achieve a zoaform? I wonder....

I've always wondered about femininity and masculinity, and the standards that have been set, and why I don't think that they work. Take me, for example. I'm into cars, history, weapons, weather, traditional guy stuff. Yet I like to write, be creative, and if I had a girlfriend, I'd go shopping with her and do her hair and nails. That's the feminine stuff I'm into, and I also like to cook. I really think that the broad standards of femininity and masculinity are kinda crap and don't make a lot of sense. What works for one person probably won't work for another of the same gender or anything like that. Everyone's different. Personally, I like women who are…

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…

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 …

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?

so as not to go on i started this from http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/index.ph...amp;#entry32200 it would be rude of me not to comment on this as i used to be a believer in the 2012 world goes bye bye theory...i say used to as i did literally think that the winter solstice on 2012 would be clocking out time for all of us... but more i looked into to things i really do think that this end of the world is just like a lot of esoteric things - metaphorical. 2012 date stems from the mayan calendar - and the Mayans according to some ascended as a community to a higher plane of exsistence. ( or literally another planet in a near galaxy!?)... maybe this is what will happen…

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…

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.

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.

I have always wondered how a Guyver "hears". I know that the VDF states that the Hyper Sensors are three dimensional compound sensors, the Hypersensitive Magnetic Field Sensor captures movement of mass with the Gravity Sensor and that the Quantum Magnetic Sensor can distinguish the brainwaves of humans and Zoanoids. In the new anime TV series, they worked differently, and worked on sonic vibrations. I know that to be false. So how can a Guyver hear? I think it's by either two ways: The Guyver's skin is sensitive to vibrations, similar to a snake, and can choose which part of the body "hears" vibrations, or that the crest on top of the Guyver's heads is the sole funct…

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…

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 …

Both Angels and Demons are my favorite topics to have a debate about. Do you believe in their existence? What is their purpose? How did they come to exist? Was Lucifer the creator of demons? Does that make him a God? There are just so many things that surround them it is hard to just believe that their existence in cultures around the world was a coincidence. Both the angels Michael and Gabriel appear in almost every religion that has angels involved and they usually have the same position. Michael being the right hand of God and Gabriel being a messenger and sometimes the angel of death (I am saying almost because I am mostly speaking about Christian, Judaism, Islamic, a…

I love this video. Thunderfoot explains things so well. I love his videos

I was talking with Yuki in her blog about this earlier, and I though that it would be a good topic for here for us to discuss. We can also cite fictional examples, but I'm mostly looking at this from a "human" or "real life" POV. Here's a couple of things that I posted in her blog that I find disconcerting. One is that I have a fear of crowds and strangers, and the other is some of the disadvantages of living where I do. To quote: "Oddly, one of the things that I don't have to put up with where I live is a lot of people being around. And I hope that you didn't take my comment as "the whole human race is worthless because people are prone to acting out of fear"…

First off, I don't know if this fits better here or in the actual Guyver section, so for now I'll put it here. If a mod or admin thinks it'll be better suited or served in the main Guyver section, feel free to move it. Secondly, I'll be basing this partly off canon, partly off my fan fic work, and off my own thoughts and observations which form the basis of how I'll portray such characters in my fan fic and how I see them in the canon of the manga. Now for the actual topic. I'll be touching upon several things and how they apply to the major female characters in Guyver, especially the protagonist. I believe that about everyone on here who've seen certain of my discus…

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…

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?

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 …

you say that they dont disprove anything - thats because thats what science does .it literally makes things up then disproves or proves them... if the LHC doesnt prove what they want it too isnt it going to dump on all the current theories rendering them useless....philosophy/metaphysics rationalizes what is known and even that which isnt known by science yet.... we dont need a bewilidering amount of mathematics and exact quantum values to think about cosmogonal concepts with the right brain as it is free from the confinements of the left brain i get you are saying that this lessons of light guy trying to marry our opposing views of philosophical and scientific has is…
