I absolutely am interested in learning more, as a matter of fact it's really all I've been doingsince school started. I've got access to so much material I don't know what to do with myself sometimes. Even my grades are suffering because it'sall I seem to ever be thinking about or interested enough to read. I will certainly write down the name of this book and add it to my growing list of "toread's" thoughOriginally Posted by amishpimp27
Not sure if your just daydreaming or u want to actually learn about philosophy (and i mean that with no disrespect, all i mean is that i'm not really sure if this is passing thoughts or something you're actually interested in learning about)...
but if u want to actually learn about someone who was able to put htose thoughts u mentioned in the first part into words, you should read "Meditations on Philosophy" by Descartes...he basically had some similar ideas, but about 500 years ago...just something to think about if ur interested in learning more...
Good $@+# and thanks for the link as well. I propose another question to my fellow"thinkers"...Originally Posted by mondayC
I wonder about everything. I am agnostic on every topic of creation; whether I came from a computer in a seperate dimension, alien experiment in this dimension, religious God, or lightning striking a pool of goo. The things I question most are the things that are likely to never be answered. What about multiple universes. #** happens when you throw something in a black hole? Lately I've been wondering if somewhere not even in this dimension, there is a test going on. Just as humans daydream to make decisions by trying to predict the future, there is technology in another universe to simulate it, and we're all in it. We are just mice acting out the possibilities. Important decisions split into seperate "Yes" and "No" universes, and the results from each choice is recorded. I know it's not exactly uplifting to think we are test subjects, but I don't see how you can call this impossible. No way to prove it either, but I see the world act like a science experiment every day.
... And I think scientology is crazy
If you need a good brainfood recipe, read up miqel.

UFOsAnother one by the government to freak people out. You guys do know a little something about this screwed up government, dont you? Oh that's right, they got you all thinking of fairytales.
I feel you, and I used to be the same way. But honestly, if you turn off all that !*#!, maybe hit the peacepipe a couple times and just ponder !*#! it might make sense. It's so hard to fathom anything but the "reality" we experience on a daily basis.Everything can be broken down and analyzed in a million new ways, you just gotta open your mind to itOriginally Posted by RetroJTino
Yo, I gotta be straight up. I'm a deep thinker and I like to stay optimistic towards other peoples opinions and views on things. Perhaps putting in more thought would help me understand better. I mean without the cpu, without any music, without a TV on. Just me, silence, and thought. As for now I'm a little too distracted. I wanna say you're reaching. And reaching hard too. Not to say that it's a bad thing tho. That video would beif I still smoked ganja btw.Bery interesting tho.

Set aside for a moment the idea that we are the test subjects. Instead, suppose we are the ones who have the power to actually CREATE this scenario. Where do you draw the moral boundary on the subject of CREATING consciousness? As stated earlier, in a short time we will be able to do just that in computers. While it isn't creating "life", it IS posing a moral dilemma in my eyes. A computer will have the ability to think freely, and no doubt eventually wonder about it's own origins, all the while being a slave to us. Not to get on some iRobot type @@%, but yea. Any thoughts??
