  1. Looking for: 2 Elementals 4 Birds 4 Trees All should be aged and heated enough to advance to their final levels. Will pay in Silvers. Please PM if interested.
  2. It would help giving her some background story as to why she thinks this way, perhaps a degree in gender studies or men with snouts surrounding her would suffice.

    Free Will

    Maybe you're living on your own "universe" Nava, since I don't think anyone here understand what you're trying to say. You use too much words yet they contain nothing of substance. Anyways, I don't believe that we have free will, but I'm looking for a strong argument against it.

    Free Will

    Nava, the last sentence in your second paragraph doesn't make any sense. The word darkness is vague, and from the way you used it, I could only think of the Jungian 'shadow' archetype when talking about accepting/supporting that side of our nature, but that's the stuff of depth psychology. However, the first paragraph makes sense. Is it only freedom if it's conscious? It certainly feels like it, but to be honest, I don't have an answer for this because whether we are or not, we cannot say that it isn't influenced by the subconscious or any other events that takes place in our brain. Imagine these two scenarios Fang; 1. You get out to get to school so you get good grades, work at a financially and intellectually rewarding job so you can live a good life by our society's standards. 2. You get out to get to school so you get good grades, but your friend Alex stopped you and asked you to hit some blunt because it's 4:20pm and it's also legal now in Canada, you then hit some, got late for school but promised to make up for it, which you did, so you can live a good life in the future by our society's standards. What is the difference between these two scenarios? Nothing. You're still in your path because you decided to follow it. Why did you follow it when you can choose not to? It sure feels like you're free, yes? This is what's wrong with compatibilism, it solves the problem of free will by ignoring it. A puppet is free as long as it loves its strings. You cannot say that the subconscious or the unconscious is besides the point when they are exactly the origin of our choices/intentions. We cannot be conscious of an intent if it doesn't arise in our minds first.

    Free Will

    After reading Robert Sapolsky's book 'Behave' and various other articles about the topic of human nature, I find myself torn between two contesting questions; are we the agent of our own actions? Or are our decisions just mere products of our own chemical processes? Is free will an illusion? If I decide to slap my wrist to prove that it was my choice to do so, am I really the author of that decision and not influenced by synapses triggered in my brain (e.g. proving myself that I have free will)? If you decide to have coffee this morning instead of tea, what made you choose coffee when you can freely switch to tea anytime you want? Did Charles Whitman shot and killed 16 people out of his own volition and not because of a tumor pressing on his amygdala? I saw nothing about this subject on here and I want to know what your thoughts about this topic are. I also want to avoid philosophical/scientific jargon so it can be better understood by readers so as to not be confused, although the nature of this topic is naturally confusing.
  6. Sushi has the most amazing pieces of artworks I've seen on here in a long time

  7. What if Pinocchio said that "my nose will grow?"

      Any attempts to assign a classical binary truth value to this statement lead to a contradiction, or paradox. This occurs because if the statement "This sentence is false" is true, then it is false; this would mean that it is technically true, but also that it is false, and so on without end.

      invalid argument leads to lack of understanding IE paradox

  11. If you were to close it, then the time of humans in Necrovion must come to an end, it has lost most of its mystery and intrigue since it was opened and it's better off permanently closed.

  15. I am a proud member of Fat Banana Earth Society. This will disprove your flat Earth and spherical Earth theories. You may dismiss this as a joke but can you prove this isn't legit? [attachment=4833:FB_IMG_1453675715283.jpg]
  16. The Lucifer Principle is quite a good read, would recommend. 3.5/5

  17. Deal done, this can be closed now.
  18. Bump! Still needs 2 heated BP's (25k atleast)
  19. I'll gladly offer my help for judging the entries Pip, plus I'll sponsor another Gold Coin.
  20. Your BP's are overpriced I won't take them, but I can buy one Imp from you.
  21. Want To Purchase these colorful critters, should be heated, doesn't matter the age. PM price or post here. [Heat should be over 9000°C for each]
  22. I want to see the screenshot.
  23. Junior, I don't think someone is interested about your equational mindblasting post, we talk English here not numbers, we're not as smart as you. Anyways you can't find out if the Earth is flat or not unless you find it out yourself, these "solid" proof uses common sense, if it makes sense then it must be true, if not then it must be a conspiracy built for the shadow government Area 51 and Kim Jong Un is secretly a monitor lizard. Anyone seen the Vsauce explanation for this? #TrustMichael This made me open my mind if anything else in the galaxy is flat, because why not? We don't have solid evidence that they aren't. So here's another theory: [attachment=4753:FB_IMG_1451952963127.jpg]
  24. Take a look at the UN's logo, that's how the real map of the earth looks like for flat-earthers. I also read from somewhere that both the North and South Poles is guarded by the military and cannot be accessed, they say the North Pole is projecting this Sun and Moon illusion, for what? I don't get why these people would lie to the public, seems like a lot of work for me. My best guess is ancient aliens bruh, they was ancient aliens reptilian grey illuminati Zionists who wants to enslave mankind using the central banks and petrodollars.
