    Jesus - historical or not - became a construct as well to transport some very helpful rules we all still benefit from today.
    Santa Claus and Easter Bunny are misuses and stupid relicts. Originally - probably - meant with a good intention. But not really helpful.

    Back on topic: I enjoy my life - either real life or virtual life. Drink, eat, play, fuck, music, movies, smoke, remember, imagine and whatnot. I'm part of a special cultural enviroment. I'm afraid I can't pull down these cultural walls easely at the age of 62. And tbh I don't want to. I met a few other very interesting folks at Calypso (thumbs up towards MindArk!). I mean completely different to my intentions and embossed by really different cultures (USA for example). That teached me to be more cautious. But hey, why the hell, isn't it possible to have sex with someone I love in Entropia Universe?

    Take it easy ...
     
  2. the old bbhug command (blanket hug) from back in the mud days would be nice to have in game from time to time...

    More and more I'm afraid that I have to deal with something like Asperger-Syndrom Light too - just to make matters worse.
    Increasingly I can't understand some of the posts here at EP and elsewhere in the net and things that happen IRL. My view at things becomes slowly narrowed. Simplified. Why the fucking hell do cyclist use the the damn left bikeway (in Germany with right-hand traffic) - against the rules? And don't care about that they break laws by doing this?

    Currently I watch a TV series: "Broen" in Danish, "Bron" in Swedish, "Die Brücke" in German. Part of it is a swedish detective: Saga Norén. She has Asperger-Syndrom. That is sometimes funny, sometimes very strange. But always a reason to think about how crazy our current communication became meanwhile. I love her. She is so plain! She set everything in question. "Does it make sense? Is it logical? Why did you do this?"

    I mean - ofc I read books like "Politeia" by Platon, "Articles Of Association" by Jean-Jaques Rousseau, "The Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann, "The Grapes Of Wrath" by John Steinberg and "1984" by George Orwell and whatnot ("Asterix & Obelix"). But at wich point do these books help me when I'm not able to understand simple things? Like people who are ashamed when talk comes to nudity or sex. Cyclists who use the left side of the road without shame but endanger themself and others.

    My intention is to make my life easier. As for instance I use the same tool for cutting my hair as for shaving my beard. I reduce driving comfort to an old poor roadster. Best relation between price and performance. Btw - roadster-season was opened three days ago with snow and blue sky ;-)

    I think this Asperger-Syndrom would be a very good therapy for most people. Those poeple would be able to say: "The emporer is naked!"

  4. I know exactly what you are saying. Life could be so simple, if there wouldnt be people that "cant smell each other".
    You know ? You are looking at someone for the 1st time and your 1st thought is, "This guy looks like hes up to no good,
    I should be carefull" ;D

    Now imagine these 2 guys looking at each other are presidents of 2 different countrys.
    "Hey what you staring at me ?!" -> "I didnt stare at you !" -> "You just did it again !!! Stop it !!!" -> "No !!!" ->.....
    This is how a war starts. Especially if different languages are used. Ya, life is simple, isn it ? ;)

    The masses got modified by media and TV and its own education suffers. Inherited by their parents, many just choose the "get a job, get a wife, marry wife, make kids, keep working, die". You (and maybe me) and some others are aware of it.
    The masses arent aware. How could they. They dont know any better. They dont have this "clear view" or got told its worng to have it. Forgive them, they dont know what they...hahahaha...this is life man. People like us end up fast as conspiracy guys and weirdos inside of this society, as we dont fit into the masses. Case closed.

    Ignore the dumb and ignorant or help them. You choose. But dont complain if they fight you, while you trying to help them.
    And trust me, most of them will see your help as some form of attack.

    Next time jump in front of the cyclist and...oh wait, you arent a cop...you cant take law into your own hands.
    And if you start talking to him while he drives towards you, he might slap your face, just because he can.
    Or he will ignore you and keep driving. Or he will get of his bike and say sorry. Who knows...but Im 500% sure that many of the people around you will be glad that you tryed to talk to the idiot cyclist...while some of them will think "Thats non of his business".

    I hope that makes any sense at all. ;D

    Yeah, tell me about it :p

    Some might get off on that :p

    It was a collection of various anarchist tricks and tips. Most of the technical (phreaking) ones didn't work in Europe, or simply were patched by the time I got a hold of them. I still have copies of (some) of those documents, old RFCs, etc. lying around somewhere on a bunch of old CDs or something.

    Well I never said my views were not controversial :D

    I don't expect people to side with me on this one but it is about as extreme as I get. And if I ruled the world I wouldn't have the knowhow, guts or inclination to push through with the idea of banning it anyhow so it is more a sort of casual joke I make really since it it all hypothetical and rather silly.

    Of course, there was a time and place for religion and indeed history shows it had an important role to play. But did it it have to? Maybe there is a planet out there with life where no one ever grouped around religion but instead other things to roughly the same effect. Or a parallel universe with an alternative earth maybe.

    In later times though religion held back progress once mankind got through the early stages. A lot of medical and scientific research was held up by the rules of the church. On the flip side... a lot of science and engineering happened because of religion too although it isn't much of a stretch to say it could have happened without it too. e.g. lots of impressive buildings are built in modern times that have nothing to do with faith.

    All in all your Tank analogy is good. The way I see it is that religion to a large amount of mankind is akin to a gun in a child's hands. The child could use it responsibly and for good but they could also shoot themself or others. So what is best? Risk giving them the gun on the small chance they will use it responsibly? Or just don't risk it and hope they find other means to their ends.

    It does make sense.
    And guess what I've learned right this evening while driving to the supermarket. Two points of view are possible:
    1. The ABS in my car works! Good to know ...
    2. To mistrust cyclists can save life (of cyclists) or prevent cyclists from broken bones at least.
    I passed a crossroad after the traffic light switched to green. Then a cyclist came from the right at the bikeway (his traffic light must have been red - at least all cars had stopped ...) and turned right into my path. Unfortunately this road has no bikeway. So he rode onto the main track one or two meters before my car without looking at what happens around him. Especially my car that was so close to him and faster than he was.

    Sorry for focussing to cyclists. Just a fitting actual note ;-)

    I appreciate your comment McCormick and widely agree with it. It's always good to talk. Or at least try to talk. No shame, no fear. Even if 95% of it is wasted time. I'm afraid we will need right this intention during the upcoming years. And I don't talk about cyclists this time ;-)

    I'm afraid it's worse today. A gun in childs hands still require to trigger it. I think it's more like to blindfold a lot of people in this world and take away any chance from them to get a better or clear view of how our world ticks. Call it religion or ideology or lack of education. Still, neither any Christian religion nor Islam or Jews or whatever religion is guilty itself. Guilty of misuse are always and solely humans or institutions like churches pursued by humans. Tricky part is: Often they have really good intentions. And are really helpful. Unfortunately sometimes not.

    But what would be the alternative? I'm afraid mankind needs any scaffold (religion or not) to layaway at. Anything. And we'll always find a wide range of such scaffolds. There won't be THE ONE monkey bars. Sounds like a lot of struggle for our future. Still. Accept it.

    Can you stop to provide bullshit like this please?
     

  11. Its a documentary. Soon to be seen in cinemas worldwide. Its about a book and its author. 2 million copies sold.
    No matter if its non-interesting or super-interesting. Its there.
    Its about a guy who published instructions on how to build bombs and stuff in the early days.
    Hes a "legend". Like it or not. ;)

    Its about controversy. I wouldnt call this topic bullshit. But feel free to explain why you think this way.
    Somehow this discussion lead to it...nevermind, back on topic. :)
