Paradoxes
I have proof that they are equal. -1*x =1. If we multiply each side by zero we get 0 = 0 which is equal. I like it; the pureprayer simplification. Got an equation you can't solve? Multiply by zero!

Life in 100 years
That's a frightening day when we can make machines so efficiently and cheaply that they replace a large enough amount of human jobs to create unemployment. I don't think that'll happen.

If you are so inclined to click, http://www.last.fm/user/SchizoidDog. It's not terribly interesting.

Recommend an artist/band to the poster above you
I would say Tool, but you probably already listen to them. So, Porcupine Tree. They're kind of similar. Kind of.

What are you listening to right now!?
Home - David Byrne and Brian Eno

According to Last.fm (in order of playcount): 1. King Crimson 2. Radiohead 3. Bob Dylan 4. TV On The Radio 5. Talking Heads 6. Grateful Dead 7. Aphex Twin 8. Dave Matthews Band 9. Yes 10. The Smiths/Sigur Ros Favorites are hard to pick, but I would definitely add Animal Collective, Creedance Clearwater Revival, David Byrne, and Shpongle to that list if I could.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
I enjoy both! Hurraaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. I regret not introducing myself to every single person that catches my eye. I intend to start doing that. You never know who might benefit from you not being a complete [wagon]. Hmmm, blowing zombie heads off is somewhat fulfilling. Maybe I'll go with shooting locusts. I've regretted not going up to some people who look bizarrely different and saying varying versions of "You look funny," and standing there waiting for a reply. I think I could pull it off with just the right smile and "charm" to make it unoffensive. One of these days...

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Buy her some chocolates laced with antidepressants? Or you could work out with her sometime. Having someone to workout with seems to help some people (I'm sure there are people who like to be by themselves while they workout) lighten up get into a better mood. Of course, that might not be possible given the situation, but just suggesting a possibility. Yeah she wants me to start working out with her and I want to as well. I already have karate 2-3 times a week so we have to figure out what days we're going to. Today I don't think would have been the best time to start either lol. I don't know what it is about working out with someone of the opposite sex (or even the same sex), but it builds a bond that's harder to form otherwise. It's also, of course, good motivation to stay in shape.

Bad Internet Shopping Experiences!
I don't buy much, but when I bought my stereo receiver from Amazon and speakers from Crutchfield, they were both fast and helpful and nothing went wrong. So no bad experiences yet!

I think one thing we can count on are angsty misbehaving teenagers.

Paradoxes
yes, because they are opposites and a negative sign can also be read as the opposite of. Schrodinger's cat is an interesting paradox about how reality can exist in multiple states(outside box has a cat that is both alive and dead inside box has only of those) Well if no = -yes no*no would be equal to -yes*(-yes) which is the same thing as yes * yes. and if no*no = Yes*Yes, no = yes I do not not disagree with that statement. See your flaw?

Seriously, it will be exactly like the Jetsons.

Reveal Confessions, Secrets & Regrets...
I don't like video games. I get greater enjoyment from a conversation over a cup of coffee than blowing zombies heads off.

Me being captain of a boat going down an impossibly thin river in a house while talking to Jean Reno. At least that's all I can remember from last night.

lol says who? you? Says logic. Oh, and I do too. Explain your reasoning beyond saying, "logic"?

Opinions on my Topic?
I'd just set a timeline and if that timeline is breached (which it most likely would), then it's shotgun time.

Ray Kurzweil to head futurology school backed by Nasa
and that's pretty much when i didn't care anymore. if we get nanobots that repair wear and tear on our bodies and keep us perpetually young, we'll flood the planet with people, not be able to survive because of lack of food/fresh water/shelter/space/jobs etc. not to mention i'm sure that would end up causing more wars over the resources people will have. the day we get nanobots to keep us young, is the day humans begin their decline because we'll wipe ourself out. although i'm sure we'll wipe ourselves out some other way too. not really. i used to think this way too, but realize these: * by the time we have that technology our space programs would be capable of colonizing other planets * there is a lot of unused space in earth. i don't know what people are saying about overpopulation when there's a lot of land we can use. e.g. Canada, United States, Russia, Africa, etc. - these countries/continent are larger in size compared to India/China and none have even crossed the billion pop. threshold * at least 71% of earth is unused space. why? because this is covered by the ocean. the ocean is basically untapped space considering we can build cities in it and over it. for example, look at Dubai's man-made islands. another example is this: [hide=][/hide] It will be a sad day when we turn our planet into a city. Also, there is the issue of being able to sustain our growing consumption levels.

Albums you're looking forward to or enjoy from 2009!
I skimmed through this thread with the intent of posting that album and was sad to see those comments. Good thing you changed your mind! With that said, my nomination for album of the year:

Does Religion benefit?
All slaves are religious?

Seriously, this is nothing new. For proof, The Jetsons.

Does Religion benefit?
The same benefits can be had from looser and more secular spiritual beliefs. These are benefits that seem to arise due to belief in God and/or the afterlife, rather than, say, belief in Jesus as our saviour. I think Christianity leads in providing security for the elderly because it is the dominant organized religion in the US. Christian churches have become social networks for so many people that I wouldn't be surprised if there were people who went primarily for the sense of community (I remember reading about a nonreligious church somewhere). It's traditional standing in the US, community, and security it provides is what I think draws the elderly to it with a emphasis on tradition.
