This is a forum or general chit-chat, small talk, a "hey, how ya doing?" and such. Or hell, get crazy deep on something. Whatever you like.

Hello, Bev! Long time no chat!

sex is better than politics.

All life leads to death

The war in Iraq and celebrity lifestyles just prove the humans have no Artificial (or natural, if there is any such) Intelligence?

sex
True evolutionary advancement, the move from biological reproduction towards sex. Sadly, it has been completely spoiled and corrupted over 4000 and more years of patriarchal dominance which replaced a playful, joyful interaction with powerplay and dominance games.

In passing, has anyone noticed how emphatically feminine the UFOs are, when it comes to predominant shapes, as they were observed and described over the past 60+ years?

politics
Sure, thanks for asking:
crude, primitive exploitation augmented by rapid technological development, things called goods quantified and replicated ad what must had looked like infinitum to those twentieth century feudal warlords overseeing mass production. and keep shopping my fellow americans, keep shopping for god's sake, the president said just the other day.

this industrial age machinery, nuts and bolts, jobs and deaths, is epitomized in individuals such as henry kissinger and paul wolfowitz, or mickey mouse for example. but they are all just small potato in this game. the twentieth century cybosaur has a life of its own. it's an omnivorous, and it is maintained, kept oiled, by mass consumption which is coming to an end now. the environment cannot sustain such a gobbler anymore.

life -- death
When life has no value, death has its price.

The war in Iraq
Crude, militant, industrial fascism at work. A swansong of the CMIF.

celebrity lifestyles
Bread and games.

Artificial (or natural, if there is any such) Intelligence?
Intelligence is a human concept, a construct, rather than a real entity. This construct is based on observations of something real and manifest, but it has been pulled out of context - the whole of consciousness - and designed as a tool by which to measure a perceived difference between "us" and "nature". It would be more correct to talk about nature as a whole achieving a certain order of complexity as manifest in human being, than to talk about humans acquiring some exceptional ability, the intelligence, which, otherwise, is not manifest elsewhere in nature.

The pyramid scheme in which humans sit at the top as the most evolutionary advanced, and the most intelligent, life form on Earth, moreover "in the known Universe" (ha, ha, ha, ha,...), is just that: yet another pyramid scheme.

I don't know what death leads to, but we all go through it or smack up against it, so it interests me. My thesis was on medieval death lyrics (poetry), so I've spent waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time thinking about this . . .

Are all those things real? In particular, is there a Creative Musicians Improvisors Forum?

17 years ago #5495
yes, they are all real, including the Creative Musicians Improvisors Forum:

i shall add that Crude Militant Industrial Fascism is a phrase coined by me. it does not exist in the form of an official organization, movement, doctrine, etc... but it's nevertheless as real as any item listed above.

also, an update on sex:

i just learned recently that dolphins are the only animal other than humans that have sex for pleasure.
considering that dolphins have a brain that is not only larger in volume compared to human brain, but also far more developed in terms of number and complexity of neural connections contained therein;
and, considering that humans have spoiled their inherent ability to enjoy sex, one has to conclude that the dolphins are indeed the most advanced species here on Earth.

Too bad they can't figure a way to jump out of a tuna net.
