I've been thinking about this for a while now... and I find it ultimately mind boggling that with a few trillion IF statements (java) we could replicate the universe, through a human's senses. I've also been thinking about the sense of touch. If you think about it, when you feel something, you don't feel it in your fingertip, or hand (etc...), you feel it in your brain, somewhere. Also, we don't see in 3d. we see in 2d and our minds trick us into thinking we see in 3d. http://tenthdimension.com (check out that site and your mind will boggle) Human reactions are incredibly predictable as well. (therefore, manipulation of the masses is enormously easy) To me, the most pleasurable sense is hearing. The thought that sound is simply vibrations doesn't ruin it for me, but it makes it seem a ridiculously simple concept. Smell and taste, like touch, are in the brain instead of nose or mouth... which also seems fucked up. (just thought I'd finish that up and account for all of the senses) One thing that I'm struggling with is thinking about how I can think and imagine... where the fuck is all that information going?! Seems like my brain is a fucking hard disk but it's hardly storing 0's and 1's... or is it? maybe I'll look into this shit. |

you forgot to instantiate... int thisThread; OR int thisThread=?; (also, you don't need those {}'s for the if/else statement. Edited Wed Nov 29 2006, 03:27AM |

The brain is a mistory to humanity we know a lot about it but even with all the knowlege we gather we havent even touched the surface of the used part and that is something like only 10% of your brain think about the human mind is the ultimate computer. All things man made are just him repeating what he has seen nothing is truely orignal. The computer is a attempt at making a machine capable of acting like the human brain The 1s and 0s are just something we came up with as a form of comunication for the computer basedon it's set up. The thing is among all the complexitys of humans the most complex is the brain. Dont think you got all the peopel in the world figured out yes crowds can be made out of slight alterations of basic stero types but the thing that keeps oyu thinking is the random acts the thing that calculations could never acount for. Most things in life have a way of being connected enough that it is sickening but yet so detatched that it seems to be coincdence or luck. If it were a system to fool peopel it would be increedbly well made. If you want to know the mistorys of the brain you best first consider that you may very well not know in your lifetime even if you dedicate all of it to that end. You oculd make break though after break though push harder and harder and still the dept of the mistory would seem to grow as you add to the light the shadows jsut go deeper and grow bigger. Personally I think it is something no one will ever compleatly understand. |

Oh shit i don't know what i was writing... the brain isn't 1's and 0's, it's chemical reactions... But I disagree that it's very complicated... there are only tens (##) of chemicals in the brain that react... That does lead me into something else I've been thinking of a lot... which is that the fate of the world is inevitable. I believe in choice and shit like that, but it's inevitable that humans will only make one choice when faced with a decision. when deciding what to wear tomorrow, I will debate over certain things, but I will settle on one thing. that thing that i settle on was the only thing that would be settled on, and if something were complex enough it could have predicted that from my birth. (basically, what I'm saying is is that everything is inevitable, and that even thinking about things being inevitable makes it more inevitable) If I think about things being inevitable and decide I'm not going to eat and starve myself to death because what i did in life was going to happen anyway, that was what was going to happen from the start... BUT the only reason that I starved myself to death is because i thought about things being inevitable, which was inevitable. As you guys can see, my brain is fucking terrible at putting shit down on paper... but if anyone understands me, please try to prove what I'm trying to say wrong or right.

You have at last captured yourself in the infnate loop. The fact it you can never truely say without dout that your actions werent inevitable. Even if you were like me I wear the first shirt I pick up you cant claim I wasnt ment to wear it nor can you claim I was ment to. I mean odds of it being the correct one are low but if it was all inevitable then the wya I placed the clothign in the basketthe way they get foldedi nthat order it was all goign to happen and to place it on was the inveabilty. The more oyu try to be random you can stem it back to the fact that oyu thought of the ineviblty of the previouse choices and then the fact you tried to be random was a inevable responce and the actions that happened after the fact were metn ot happen. All you can do is observe what happens and make your own jugement on it. Personally I think that the posbiltys of what could happen are endless and your rigth it is all inevitable this universe happened only this way but why would be the question? Quantom physics my frend there is a theory that there are infnatly meny universes one for every responce posable for a situation. Like say you roll a 6 sided dice ever side has it's own universe. Small diffrences slowly devide into universes that change the very fabric of your person. In the end we are one of the many universes and me typing this makes a millon more with each word. Where we are is just an enivtabilty we are the products of choices which we happened to be the one to make. There are peopel who make computers to try and trace the universes I put little stock in that but it seems like a posbilty. Though there is no way out of the infnate loop becouse even if oyu find the answer the question rest at were you ment to find that answer and if it is the true answer or just something to satisfy you. Then on top of that you can question reality itself somethign that would be both insainly hard and insainly easy to reproduce. With a creative enough mind you oculd have created all the charictors and be talking to yourself this entire time in your own mind. Of course that is one of many posbiltys. The only thing you can be abslutely sure of is that there is nothing you can be sure of. |

0s and 1s are based off of DNA sequences, such as - ATGCTACCTAGG TACGATGGATCC Either an A or a T, for the first two, same for second. That represents 0 or 1. Or, for the third, a C or G, which is 0 or 1. |
