Philosophy
let's figure out how things work. whether we're coming up with theories for how our favourite characters do what they do, or talking about real life science and belief systems, we can talk in here.
There is a specific rules for this forum, inside. Read them.
I think it goes without saying you have to have an open mind.
If your mind is closed or you are devoutly faithful to your own beliefs it is advisable to skip this area.
This place is a discussion board.
If you show a repeated refusal to listen to others views, it ceases to become discussion. You will then be barred from this area.
So discuss your ideas, think up new possibilities, be creative and have fun!

http://tremault.wordpress.com/2013/03/25/religion-codified-replacement-for-lost-culture/ These days we see a lot of conversions to new religions and we see a lot of people following particular religions, but is this a sincere decision or do these people seem to pick and choose the religion that seems to offer the ‘best bits’? There are many people who do discover a religion and it resonates with their soul, but how much of this is ‘finding the true god’ and how much of this is ‘finding the code that resonates with the self’? In many ways, the person + religion marriage, says more about that person than it says about the religion, wouldn’t you agree? s…

Ever since Oct. of 2013 I've been following, listening and reading these cases and stories. I have some of his books and always love listening to new interviews by him. I also look forward to the documentary. It's incredible. If you haven't taken a look at this, I strongly recommend give it a try. It may change your perspective on the outdoors. It's incredibly tragic and sad. I have a lot of respect for him and what he's doing. The first interview I heard from him on the subject back in 2013

Okay, so I am a very socially odd person, my years of being bullied and shunned has turned me into a person who suffers from extreme anxiety in social settings. Especially when I'm around a girl I find attractive. For whatever reason, throughout my life it has been incredibly difficult for me to find a girlfriend. I've literally gone decades without one. Sometimes of my own free will but most of the time I'm rejected, friendzoned or given an excuse. This has caused me to be very self-conscious of how I look. Thinking I'm unattractive or ugly. I thought that about myself for years and still sort of do. When my most previous ex would say things like: "You look sexy." or "Da…

So I was wondering what it would be like for a Guyver to be placed in a space type environment? Could a Guyver space walk? Does a Guyver have any oxygen stored somewhere so that it can breath in a vacuum? Can a Guyver survive being hit by space debris? So many things to think about. What is the Advocacy's opinion on this?

I posting it here since I think it belongs here, anyways I'm doing this thread to discuss something that I just found in the internet and it is the finding of a humanoid body in 2003 in a remote Atacama dessert in Chile, its existence was not known until 2009 and then studied in spain, further studies were made by another team by 2012 and now they are showing what they have found so far, just to let you guys know, this thing is not a hoax based on the findings they have made although further research is needed to find out its origins what it is interesting is that the specimen is apparently lived 6 -8 years old and yet it is no more than 6 inches long. I will give the lin…

Ok this is not a joke, its about as far from a joke as we're ever likely to get. This topic is about some pretty dark and grim subject matter, so read at your own discussion. Humans do some pretty messed up stuff, but sometimes we really out do ourselves. This is one of those times, this is the story of Mary. As most of you may know, the life of circus animels is very, very cruel. They spend long periods of time held in confined spaces or chained up with little to no stimuli, little real healthcare (or even just care for that matter) and are regularly abused. They are also tortured into behaving in unnatural ways for the amusement of crowed, sometimes rig…

Why do people suck so much at debating? I've learned to keep my mouth shut most of the time because people will attack you with an indignation and malice it's unreal! I mean, it's gotten to a point to where I can't even agree to disagree respectively, without people trying to make false accusations against me, borderline slander me, call me the worst names in the book and so on. When all I did was disagree. So I stopped engaging in debates for a long time, all it would turn into a name calling contest. However, recently many people have been posting things on my fb regarding how horrible a political party is. Today, I finally had it. Some of my fb friends were bashing o…

How come I have to accept and support what other people believe when they sit and berate me for not supporting or siding with what they believe in? I feel like some times I become the center of their anger towards something they don't like. Often if something is said about either politics or religion. Some times I find that I'm on the crap end of a debate with 3 or more people. For instance. I don't always agree with someone of a different religion or something political. I know my words aren't always the wisest or chosen wisely. I normally am getting mouthed at or having my self esteem beat down by other people. Some times they tell me that I am narrow minded, …

I was thinking that since this is still a loose subject of science fiction. I think advanced prosthetic bodies that are fluid mechanical and look human and are more durable than the actual human body itself with real skin that feels real and looks real would be amazing. You could pretty much change how you look and even your gender. I think full prosthetic would allow people to live longer and would help us achieve more medical achievments today. Help us fight cancer, AIDS, and other horrific diseases both genetic and deadly. people who are dying could have their brain put in a brain case of some sort and brain case and placed in a prosthetic body of their choice.…

So, is it possible Sho and Agito's thinking and minds are working at an accelerated rate like the rest of them while the Guyver is equipped? I mean everything else is enhanced, so I'm thinking maybe its possible their minds are as well? Reason for asking... I was thinking that Sho had no battle experience what so ever. Yet when the Guyver was equipped, he was able to learn how to use it at an accelerated rate and learn how to fight and think in strategic ways. He was able to kill off zoanoids and as those zoanoids as people had state of the art combat training as assassins and as soldiers, especially the hyper zoanoids it seemed like he went from zero to hero wit…

something that has been on my mind recently. I wonder about how people can be very lonely in life but might not be able to find a safe place to express themselves. We all know there are predators online. we might think a particular website is safe and has lots of nice people, but then one of those members might not be what they appear to be. I had a recent issue when on an online dating site. I met a beautiful girl and she was capturing my heart big time. she was saying all the right things and I was really enjoying talking to her... until all of a sudden I realised, 'she' could be a fat old man. I panicked. I suddenly realised the only way I could be sure was if I…

I was just thinking about how our idea for life generally includes a certain range of temperatures. then I thought about what if it is easily possible for a kind of life to flourish at much lower temperatures to what we could withstand. and if that life came to our temperature, it would be incinerated. I thought that there are compounds that form a liquid at much lower temperatures than us and so would be able to be as naturally fluid at very low temperature. such a creature living on a planet very far from their sun, like a moon round jupiter, would be just fine, very comfortable there. the water in our bodies would freeze solid, but they would be happy as anything. for…

This is something that has interest me a lot for a while since the day I was told of these 2 theories for those who don't know the Uncanny Valley is an Hypothesis used in robotics and 3d animation where human replicas look and act almost human but not perfectly usually creating a sense of revultion, there are 2 ends of that valley one where the replicas are stylized replicas and in the other end is where we have yet to achive is totale realisim where you can't tell the difference if it is real or not. Then there is the singularity which is a bit hard for me to explain but from what I uderstand is a theory of the point where artificial intelligence can reach beyond human…

i see a lot of technological and scientific advances being made. its funny that a lot of the time these scientists are interviewed and are always citing start rek as inspiration and that they grew up watching star trek. now thats all well and good but what i want to know is why has everyone seemed to forget the philosophy shown in star trek?? we have all these scientific advances but to what end?? we still have people starving and we still have other unneccesary BS going on that could be helped by new technologies... with great power comes great responsibility. so what we may have warp drives etc. whats the good of exploring space ( / time) if we are going…
