Wouldn’t it be great if I was in an Avant-Garde act

@11:25

I’ve been turning this in my mind for quite a while. It would be great if I could start an avant-garde act (you could say a band, but that’s kinda broad). I don’t care if it sells, I don’t care if I spend more money on it that I will ever get out of it, I just want to be in an avant-garde act. Avant-garde blues, avant-garde punk, avant-garde potato salad, I don’t care. We’ll put up awesome creative shows, visually anyway, and do awesome avant-garde stuff - such as being avant-garde and thinking avant-garde and meet other avant-garde people and say avant-garde things to them, in an avant-garde accent. Actually, maybe I should work on assembling something like that. I might as well. One of these days.

Proletariat Drifter Scum

— dushkin
@10:16

The nationless drifter holds dual passports, one of which grants him government subsidies, and free tuition, the other which grants him the right to stay in a certain place for as long as he would like to. He uses local laws and takes advantage of EU policy. Nowhere is home for the proletariat drifter scum, as he lives on a part-time job and a subsidy.

He does legally hold two nationalities, and yet neither of them is in fact related to his current position on earth, or maybe just by a broad definition - “European.”

He makes attempts to learn the local language and fit in, presents himself as a local, or a “citizen of the world”, but hits the same brick wall - he does not fit exactly, but merely some of the time. He may hold two passports, but not want to have much with one nationality, and being very distant from the other.

His previous experiences in life, the language which he had acquired mean absolutely nothing in his current surroundings - a recently planted tree, significantly smaller than the rest in the forest. Will he ever bear fruits or repay society? That’s most certainly his plan, whether or not

Thanks to involuntary military service, a large Jewish orthodox sector, extreme weather, lack of respect for the environment and the beaurocracy’s helplessness facing these issues - I decided to take the plunge and be this proletariat drifter scum.

Luckily, I managed to get a hold of a German passport. Since Denmark is in the EU, I’m pretty much set. I am able to receive free tuition and even subsidy. Arrangements are being made, and the day slowly nears that I will come back, in 2009, or maybe even late 2008 and become a proletariat drifter scum.

To be honest, my life as a proletariat drifter scum can’t possibly be worse than my life as a local would have been in Israel. It’s just not going to work with me and Israel, we’re too different. Too different, and indeed, we must therefor break up, peacefully and quietly.

Socialism is definitely the way to go. Israel isn’t really my thing. The issue’s pretty much solved.

So that’s it, I’ll be living the next few years in Denmark, that’s for certain - most likely even the next few decades. And me, I couldn’t get any happier. I’m not alone as I am now, and knowing Danish (properly at least) would be even better.

May 2008, I finish IB. August 2008, I’m going to fight for my freedom in the battle against the involuntary military service in Israel. Then later in 2008, or even at late as 2009, back to Denmark.

So I won’t have the right to vote, like anybody cares. So long, Israel.

The Future Machine

— dushkin
@21:25

Just let me warn you: I don’t have any sort of education about these topics, and it’s all just mainly opinions and some pretty limited research. But anyway, I had this idea. I discussed it with a couple of people who showed varying degrees of interest in this subject ranging from “shut the fuck up” (yes, your name starts with an L, you know who you are alright), to insightful responses.

What if, hypothetically, I saved all the information in the universe (I do mean all), at a certain timeframe in the form of data, and then used physics to look back in time to see how it used to be at certain points in the past, easy.

First of all, this relies on the concept that space really is finite, or at least the amount of energy in the universe. Infinite amounts of data simply don’t work out, so that would rule out everything.

But let’s just assume that it’s all finite for now.

Now what if I tried not to look backwards in time, but forward, towards the future.

Whatever apparatus I’m using to calculate the future will pretty much have to calculate calculations it never actually made, and by that, by making that calculation, I am changing the possible future as I’m doing it.

Let’s imagine a little TV set that can show you the future. If you turn it on and see yourself in the future, the fact that you see yourself, as you watch it, has an impact on yourself, and if it’s even possible for you to see the future, which in this method in my opinion would be a bit of a problem.

Now the question is whether the apparatus could perhaps perform a certain calculation that has some sort of a recursion that can always be predicted? If it constantly calculates the calculation, and by that changes the future with the new calculation based on that, it’s constantly changing the projection, thus, can we make it so that itactually works?

By the way, as for the person who gently told me to just “shut the fuck up”: I don’t mind you shutting me up like that really, but “random” is not something forever unpredictable. It’s just something that doesn’t any pattern you are aware of. Just think about it.
