Re: I'm not psychic. Ask me a question.
In Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . . . Who were the most intelligent beings in the universe?

1) Humans

2) Dogs

3) Lab Rats

4) Cockroaches
 Quoting: George B


Dolphins, because they had the sense to leave.

Although I would personally say lab rats.
 Quoting: skittle


You are absolutely correct !!!!!uk
 Quoting: George B


According to the same noted writer above what was the ultimate universal question????

1) What or who is God?

2) How Old is the Universe?

3) How do you get 42?

4) How many scientists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Re: I'm not psychic. Ask me a question.
The lab rat not only experiences the experiment, but it also observes the experimenter at the crucial moment when they implement what the protocol requires, in what is often something that goes against human nature..or that goes with it in its rawest form. Thus, it is in a position to both better understand the experiment as well as what controls the experimenter.

The answer to life the universe and everything is 42.

I hate numerical answers. While we're throwing things down the memory hole someone should rewrite that bit until it's more interesting.

Sort of yes. . . .the image on the right is a photo of Mars and is most likely JPEG compression artifacts caused by the algorithm used to compress and decompress the pixels in the image. . . However, it does look awfully similar to habitation images of high altitude earth pictures. .. .

I'm a researcher by trade. I have a habit of taking time off work for as long as I can get away with it and there are pennies left in the bank. We only have one life to live, may as well enjoy it.

My favourite thing of all time is coffee time discussing warfare tactics with those capable of thinking it through. I like watching minds tick over. Not so much on the internet for that though :)
 Quoting: skittle


I should note that war strategy by itself is not the most wonderful topic, but the brightest minds are usually put on it, and thus it tends to be the most interesting and productive of conversations.

Re: I'm not psychic. Ask me a question.
Ah, I never said I went to school for it (well I did a bit but still). I just enjoy the conversation..the making of new plans, the seeing where they have strengths and weaknesses, the ability for a group of people to come together and build upon the concept, add to it, integrate it, strengthen and grow the pieces until they become a whole...work into it the responses of humans, and bend it until they respond in the way intended by the structure we have created. All that rather than bickering over the damn thing.
 Quoting: skittle


Interesting . . . I was forced and volunteered to study it for years . . . It was my job . . . But when I found out most of it was totally orchestrated for the
profit and benefit of the few I lost my passion for it. . .
 Quoting: George B



The way I had come to accept it was something like:

Imagine yourself in a prison as a prisoner. You grew up there, went to school there, and will probably die there. You of course take the side of the prisoners, both due to ethics and because you are a prisoner yourself. However, at lunch time sitting with the prisoners gets dull..the vast majority of them only seem to want to in-fight and ignore you when you try to get them to help in planning an escape. They're more interested in making moonshine in their cells, getting laid in the shower, and showing that they have power over other prisoners through petty squabbles based on nothing more than what colour shirt they were given by the prison laundry person.

Now, the guard's table is of course the table of the enemy. And yet when you sit down with them they act civilized and they invite you in. The quality of food is 1000 times better, the quality of conversation is superb, and they appear to actually use their brains in speaking and understanding each other, including understanding you. You find yourself drawn into the conversation despite the topic being the suppression of the people whose side you are supposed to be on (and for almost all intents and purposes are on). You might even fall in love with one that understands you and can keep their side of a conversation after first trying a series of failed attempts at empty relationships with prisoners.

You're still sitting in the prison, you know ethically that you should still be trying to ignite sparks of protest in the prisoners. But, you also know after years of trying that is a hopeless cause. So, you sit at the table, you use your mind, and you tell the prison guards exactly how to finish locking the chains.

Make the prison walls invisible, and you have my life.




If you could would you want to be????
 Quoting: George B


In a few situations, yes. Being selectively psychic would be awesome as long as I could filter out all of the mundane thoughts people have.

Re: I'm not psychic. Ask me a question.
I have this memory of being very young and being dropped off at the Hopi promise rock by a school bus with a couple of other kids. I also remember getting bored and doodling on the rock when the bus was taking forever to get there. Other days we were in huge fields moving the dirt and rocks around. It makes it hard to take childlike carved images seriously. Do we really feel so unsure of ourselves that we have to base our deepest knowledge and stories on the etchings of children?
