Weren't we supposed to talk about the links you gave in the other topic ?

But, well, we can talk about something else. Like....
hmmm, like what ?
I can tell you some words about the antifascist actions in the world (even if I don't belong to them)...

(Congratulation, Gappiee, for your 400th post =) )

Here's a discussion starter,
(I appologize in advance for bringing this to politics, should you not want to get political, but since we're talking about Antifa...)

What are your thoughts on the Lisbon Treaty mess?

Did Antifa Show up for that ruckus?

...i gotta ask the same question as gappiee ; what treaty?

There was a major backlash over it though,


From what I understand, many groups were concerned that their national rights would be reduced, in Irleand (where the recent referendum was held), France, and Holland.


I had heard that there was an Antifa action planned to protest it (though i'm not exactly sure what their stance was on it, to be honest), and since it was the most recent thing I'd heard about Antifa, I thought I'd pitch that in to get a discussion started.

Then again, in retrospect, that topic's a little stale now.


On a side note: I'm actually also an American.

ah, damn, I've completely corrupted the topic,

My whole idea is probably a wash anyway (no need to risk an argument over this type of thing),

Any progress remembering your original idea Gappiee?

...hehehe...forgetting about forgetting something (as if I haven't done exactly that myself, and many times too)

ooh i was gonna start on that thenth dimension stuff some time ago ...... but i forgot =(
so ill do it now.

hmm so i think there are some flaws in this theory im just not entirely shure what they are yet.


anyway for those who havent seen the vid or forgotten what its about:

hmmm embedding the video doesnt work... so i had to use a link ^^

I repost what I said before :

The video is really interresting but very debatable because can't be proved. And it a bit eccentric because since it is possibilities, it did not happen. So it is like studying the physics of an object which does not exist. Or doing maths with only the number zero. It does not lead to anything.

But anyway it is pretty ... fascinating, because thank to it you can view the universe differently. For example, what if the WWI did not happen ? Or what if the Allies did not win the WWII (fortunately they did) ? How would be the world without stupid people (but what is a stupid people ?) ? How would be the world if the Taiki Webcomic were more often updated ? Well... I take back the last one.

Do you think that the whole world would totally different if we remove only one people ? I guess that if we had removed Churchill, Lenin, Washington, or Christian Michelsen, it would have changed the world. But about John Smith farmer just in the center of Australia, would be the entire world canged ?

In the same way, we could link up all the stories of the world like novels, films, comics.... and even their fanfics as possibilities of our wold and possibilities of possibilities... An infinite universe...

Can you guess all the places where you could have lost your keys or your glasses which are missing when you need it ?

...next dimension same as the last one? (stares around, clearly confused) We know that atlest I've got no knowledge on this kind of thing...

 

...and major, you came with an interesting idea: if one person in the world/history was removed...to change a littl bit on that, what if the Taiki webcomic were never started? I think that would actually change the life of many...even the lives of some who don't read it...

 

(and what if I'd done my task on Henrik Ibsen earlier than the night before it's due? ...just ignore this last one...)

yes, small things have big consequences...

...yeah, but changing history probably wouldn't be a good idea anyway...;)

That's a question : Do you think that everything is already written or that destiny can be changed ?

I prefer to think that I can do anything of my life. I want to be free.

I atleast do not believe everything that happens is meant to...I believe one must decide for oneself what will happen to one...if one can...

Free will and predestination are not, of themselves, incompatible: the fact that you are free to make what choices you will is not the same as saying that someone with enough information could not  predict what choice you would make.

However, both quantum mechanics and chaos theory guarantee that there is no single future to be predicted, only, at best, an array of possibilities that gets more and more uncertain the further into the future you try to go.  As a practical example, consider weather forecasts (with the Earth's atmosphere as an example of a chaotic system).  Typically, they are mostly correct for a day or two, getting less accurate for the next few days; and for next week's weather, you might almost as well just flip a coin.  The nature of chaotic systems is such that, with a GREAT deal of added effort, you can only do a VERY LITTLE better at prediction.And eventually you run into the physical and quantum mechanical limits on what you can know about the present state of the world, and similar fundamental limits on how well one can predict how the physical state of the world will evolve into the future.  Broad trends are much less random than the details, so anyone can predict with reasonable certainty that the summer will be hot and the winter will be cold ten years from now, but I doubt that it would be possible even in theory (i.e., with the best possible knowledge and unlimited computational power) to predict whether there would be a thunderstorm a year from now, let alone where the lightning would strike.  And human minds and human interactions are MUCH more complex than the weather.

So the details of one's life cannot be predicted; and sometimes a change in these upredictable details can lead to a major change in one's life: for just one example, a chance meeting with someone that leads to an introduction to somebody you would not otherwise have met, who later makes you a job offer you would not otherwise have received, which leads to you moving to a city you would not otherwise have even visited, etc.
