$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')magine a dying planet in some distant corner of the universe. Its natural resources exhausted. Its inhabitants sterile. Doomed to extinction. A situation we may one day find ourselves in, gentlemen.


? So what ?
Even atheists say "we got to the Moon" or "we will colonize space in the future". (mos6507, I don't know what you believe - here I talk in general).
Why do they say that ? What's with the above quote ? Are they not just one body, that soon will be dead forever? That's what they try to believe, but what they say betrays them. We know - deep down, who we are. We are the Universe, manifesting itself. The ocean and the waves - we are the waves, and the ocean, "waves die", that's all some see. (All they want to see - as a reaction to the religion of death , punishment and reward, forced upon them for so long. Dead forever is better than all that madness. It's a form of freedom.) Unconsciously - we know we are also the ocean. Everything is us. What else could it be ? We are not "special" and "separated".
I don't say this because "I hope" there is something after death, as atheists like to say. I hope nothing. I don't know what's after death. This is what I feel now - and this is what I say. Yes - I needed lots of books and stuff to say this - for free people this is common knowledge.

One day there will be so many houses, that people will be bored and will go live in tents. "Why are you living in tents ? Are there not enough homes ?" "Yes there are, but we play this Economy game". Now it's "Crisis" time !Too many houses! Yes, we are insane!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', '
')Or is it really all about fruitcake?

Yuck, you had to pollute the thread with a Claxton fruitcake. Here's a cure to our energy troubles: invent a centrifuge to strip out those radioactive bits of fruit and build a reactor that can use them as fuel.

Now this is what a fruitcake should look like:

I've never heard an atheist say that, and I know lots of atheists.

Now that is funny Mos. And here I thought you didn't have a sense of humor. $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'd')eMolay wrote:

Let's just say that, unlike a lot of doomers, I am trying to process the likelihood that we're taking a hack-proof Kobayashi Maru test.

"How we deal with death is at least as important as how we deal with life..."

Anyway, carry on with the fruitcake topic-drift.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('paimei01', '
')...What's with the above quote ?


You're commenting on a sig that I pulled from a TV show that the avatar image comes from. It's the closest way for me to tie in the avatar to the subject-matter of the site. Nothing more profound than that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('paimei01', '
')We are the Universe, manifesting itself.


The dominant theme in these stories is to explore the nature of belief itself, not just the simpleminded promotion of one belief system. That's what fascinates me about doom more than anything else. I'm a wannabe peak shrink.

If that doesn't come across clearly in this video, I hope it becomes clearer in the context of the entire episode once all the pieces are published and strung together in a Youtube playlist.
