'Tis where I live now, yo

The moving process is complete, and I have returned! So it seems like since I've been gone this has mostly turned into a religion thread....all I'm gonna say regarding that topic is this: The laws of science MUST apply to god. Until it is proven that there are regions or situations in the universe i...

Wow, looks like this thread is pretty much dead....unless someone were to bump it :D So just to repeat the question I was asking earlier (copied and pasted): Imagine a world in which all goods and services are available in such high quantity due to automation that there would be no need to be indebt...

I don't think I'm well informed enough on the "Atlantis" issue to make a judgement call on it's validity, so I'll just leave it at "I don't know", although I did recently watch a documentary about how the location of Atlantis may have been misjudged, and it's actually just an ancient Minoan city on ...

Every design is forced. We would live on trees if we wouldn't. Perfect life! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SHITmate! :pacscat: :pacscat: What I meant by 'forced' was a design that requires massively altering the landscape when it's not required, or otherwise performing actions that waste far more energy tha...

Makes sense considering this is a movement which values logic and rationality! YES! It is very logical to make cities that are circles and that they have rings for every major human activity and endeavour. It reminded me of an anus and now I cannot help to ass-ociate Zeitgeist with that. :( :lol: I...

(I was a physiology major) I was a penis Minor. :cry: :lol: K that one made me lol Also I feel like I need to point this out in order to avoid any undue hostility towards the Zeitgeist Movement (if that is even still a relevant topic in this thread....I'd like to think so haha) The Zeitgeist Moveme...

You're quite welcome (I was a physiology major)

@mayhem-for-all: You're right about the brain thing, I oversimplified As for cortisol, basically it plays a small role in the short-term stress response (elevating blood glucose via gluconeogenesis, plus some other minor stuff), so in the short-term it is very useful. However, in the long-term, cort...

Paris Hilton answered this question by making porno movies, acting silly, and writing books that never sold. Donald Trump answered that question by driving everyone nuts, getting a signature hairstyle, and deciding to run for President, maybe. Howard Hughes answered that question by becoming so par...

Even if this thread has gone off topic again, I have to say I'm thrilled that there are so many other people willing to think with their mammalian brains and not their lizard brains! So I may as well throw my hat back in too lol First of all, one question which no one has given a valid answer for ye...

Haha maybe a bit, but I'm moving to BC soon :) Anyways, here's a question to get things rolling: What would you do in a world without money? If it were possible to live in a world where every need is met and every luxury is attainable at no cost, what do you think you would do? Do you think you woul...

Wow, you're really going all out on this, you need to relax man

But yeah I agree with the seizuring dolphin, if you believe in any one religious entity, there is no logical way to denounce the existence of any deities in any religion, not even the flying spaghetti monster (ESPECIALLY the flying spaghetti monster! Lol) Very true. So you are from Edmonton? Go vot...

LOL you have a point there....k, enough getting sidetracked, let's get this thread back on topic! (Considering how many anti-religion songs strato has, I'm surprised religion would even come up on here....) Rebel, I encourage you to continue being a rebel by posting in this thread, I wouldn't want y...

Sorry guys, my computer crashed Sunday night, so I haven't been able to keep up, looks like there have been some interesting developments in this thread.... @Rebel: You're obviously very passionate about your position, unfortunately you're letting your amygdala blind your cerebrum (your emotions are...

Woah there, let's remember to keep it friendly :) But yeah I agree with the seizuring dolphin, if you believe in any one religious entity, there is no logical way to denounce the existence of any deities in any religion, not even the flying spaghetti monster (ESPECIALLY the flying spaghetti monster!...

@Ultimo, what do you think about the rise in gas prices, and what part will this energy crisis play in the upcoming supposed upheaval? Actually, the oil/gas will play a critical part in the economic meltdown. Since oil/gas reserves are being used at a rediculous rate, the prices will continue to ri...

The basic idea is that the current social and economic set up of our global society is primitive and damaging, and the movement advocates a ground up restructuring of the entire global society based on the scientific method (ie make society rationally, rather than based on a patchwork of ideologies...

Are you talking about this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zeitgeist_Movement From the descriptions there it sounds like a complete nonsense. Unfortunately yeah, the wiki page does a crap job explaining it. The basic idea is that the current social and economic set up of our global society is pri...

I was just wondering if there are any other stratofans who happen to be fellow zeitgeisters (zeitgeisters? lol i dunno) everyone in the local chapter is into the more hipster-indy rock type stuff... Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the members of Stratovarius are aware of the Zeitgeist movies o...
