    You gotta read Lee Smolin's Life of the Cosmos. He is an physicist who talks about the universe as almost a biological organism, and that the conditions of the universe appear to be tuned for the development of life and intelligent life, because intelligent life forms eventually generate lots of black holes, which is how universes make babies. Universes reproduce, in other words, and we “enable” greater number of offspring. (we haven't yet, but we will, because black holes are the ultimate power source and means of transportation). Gotta read the book, you absolutely must.

    Ooohhh…that sounds like a wonderful read.  I shall check it out.

    hmmm, sounds like the Gaia theory on a cosmic scale…

    as for life forms making black holes, does that include my bank account?  ::)

    It is, indeed, Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis on a cosmic scale. It makes beautiful sense. He talks alot about galaxies and the processes within them; after awhile you begin to sense that galaxies may be living in some way.

    He is very careful not to say that using those words, but you can see the idea – that self-organizing systems of stable disequilibrium seem to exist at all scales but the timelines for perceiving processes vary vastly. One second of our time equals 10,000 years in the life of a galaxy.

    No pics till First Contact. 😉 (After the technology exchange, gov't upheavle, etc.)

    And yes, I am Positive that aliens have made it here (w/ zero point energy). My friend & I have even seen a naked alien run through the forest on a beam of light. It was either that or a homeless guy who likes to shave all his hair off and run around in the woods at night wearing nothing but glowing reflector skiis and a skin colored jock-strap; Could be…who am I to say what's possible…..If you're not convinced they're here, check this out:

    disclosureproject.org       There's a 2hr. video or a 15min preview.

    The beginning's kinda cheesy, but it's a bunch of people who worked for NASA, Area51, Skunkwerks Project, etc. who state that they'll testify before Congress that the gov't.'s known about the existence of aliens & ufos for over 50yrs. Right now Dr. Steven Greer's working on:

    seaspower.com          They're attempting to duplicate alien technology to present to the public so they can see for themselves.

    And don't let the media make you fear the aliens :P- they're “Angels in chariots from heaven” 😀  I have this theory (based on monoatomic gold research compared to how zero point energy is described) that the energy they use to travel as fast as the speed of thought (?) is effected by LOVE. Love is the energy of the Universe. They can't just say hello to us and be let down by our dark planet of meanies…they might not have enough love to get home. Just a thought.

    I don't know; I suggest yall check out those two sites, even if all ya do is look at the 15min preview and read the intro paragraph for SEAS. Just so you know what it is if someone refers to it. If you've never seen “stuff”, study them seriously for awhile. The first thing one of my friends said to me after my “experience” was that They knew I was looking for Them, it was about time.  ::) ;D

    Speaking of glitches, why won't it let me display a picture? Does it not like me? Maybe the Forum disapproves…

    ….I thought I was inkomPittent, but I just scored 80% on a QuickBooks test, so I'm feelin pretty smart today. Maybe I could figure it out now…..(I love Babel Thread; it suits me best in my conversational jumpiness-ness 🙂

    There are inline images here. What exactly are you trying to do, please provide detail.

    I click on “I will upload my own image” and click on Browse. I pick a picture (I've tried a bunch) and then it says “The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved.”
    I've even tried to put in a pic from the last party; I've tried converting the image to a different type of file…maybe not the right kind  :-

    In the mean time, here's my artistic rendition of me:

    O-}8–< Except I usually have some hair, a face, and longer legs….and upright. I am of no relation to glow-stick-figure man from Inhabited.

    Trippy, your posts always hilarious!  😀  Are you a writer or poet? I don't know if I've met you yet…

    … and I too am having a heck of a time trying to get my mug on the forum!
    Mr. Fixer, what's the dealio?  😉

    Derby thought he had fixed the “upload image” issue but obviously it's still broken. So I don't think we can upload images to the server.

    Instead, Psygomin has the right idea. Upload your pics somewhere else, then use the link to the image instead of trying to upload.

    Sorry for the hassle.

    A WRITER ON A TANGENT


    >

    I would say I am a writer and poet and philosophicator and metaphysical applicator; I definately practice my right to free speech. I used to take honors classes in high school so I learned a lot about the art of language, but I was the Rebel. They were always attempting to get rid of me; I always spoke out about child oppression, our rights being infridged by the system, etc. I actually was accused of Plagerism >:( sophomore year for my hardcore paper analyzing the metaphorical richness in The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland. Plagerism! Me and my painfully honest ass! How DARE they!!!

    See, I was so sleep deprived finishing my paper that the morning I was to turn in my paper, I was in the shower and a gigantic fountain pen (about 6″ in diameter) came bustin' through the shower curtain and sprayed ink all over the shower!!! I knew right then it would be a dangerous venture going to school that day….I'd have an easier time w/ a 1/4″ paper square, if ya get my drift….Well, my mom agreed to drive my paper over to the school for me….as I began to write my name down on my paper, I started writing ALICE! And because of this, my teacher was convinced that the paper was too good for some 16 year old stoner chick to have written and gave me a B cuz he couldn't prove it! A 'B'!! Those stingy fuckers! And because of all of this, I did not graduate after my first semester of Junior year like I had planned.

    My Junior English teacher constantly challenged the authenticity of my papers. I once wrote this paper on Henry David Thoreau's work and he gave me an F because I didn't site the book from which I gathered my analytical information. I said, “Waddya mean, man? I read the book we read in class (Throreau's Walden) and analyzed it! You said we didn't need to site that because that is assumed; that was the assignment!” He insisted that I must have read other sources to come up with that stuff; that I couldn't possibley have written it, and that he “heard about me”. I told him he was crazy & incompetent (he was 22 & it was his first year teaching) and just because he didn't understand my infinite intelligence he didn't have the right to give me an F on a Beyond A+ Paper; he could shove it! I ended up failing because I would write papers & not turn them in to him. I would make him look really stupid in front of the class…or rather Expose his stupidity…and finally he resorted to showing us movies throughout class…nobody understood the stuff we were reading, & if I wanted to watch movies I'd go to the theatre; so I'd fall asleep. I failed. And I made a big scene about it & slammed that door so loud the dean's started chasing me down. I told them all to fuck off and I dropped out. I eventually went back (just not there) and got my diploma….

    Funny, I was supposed to graduate after my 1st sem. of Junior year and didn't graduate till I finished a summer school class after my Senior year. HA! Maybe I should write a book about it and send it to them. Make 'em know how completely fucked up it was to put me on the Plagerism List with absolutely NO PROOF.

    Anyway, I've seen ya around, Robyo, but I don't think we've formally met. I'm tremendously glad that I can entertain you! Thanks for making me think about it….I'm going to start writing this weekend  😀
