Yikes!!! So much for stream of conciousness numerology!!

Racism- The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

The last statement would not necessarily lead any reader to believe that the writer was racist.
On the contrary, a very effective race of peoples it is that can integrate and facilitate-like the song says..."I Like Chinese"(Meaning of Life"?)
Act/react how you will to the single statement, but please, judge the writer according to the overall tone and sentiment of the bulk of his editorializing.

Heres My initial reaction...Great schtick for buskin- pick a song everyone knows on a traditional Chinese instrumennt...that,. with a stream of conciousness association, and a bit of wit, (whatever) and you have a statement heart-felt, both serious and in jest, pure, honest, and simple....

Indeed, absolutely great television. The first episode was good I thought, it set up things well and definitely held my interest. Episode 3 (Carentan) is about the best there is. I thought it dragged slightly in the later episodes but only because it set such a high standard for it's self.

Just a bit of trivia, this is the episode directed by Tom Hanks. I really like the bit where Winters stares into the German kid's eyes, it's about half a second but it feels like an age. It haunts him later, I guess that if this wasn't his first kill, it was the first where he was concious of exactly what he was doing as he pulled the trigger, and Hanks captures this superbly.

Other than that, yeah, intense. The Americans trying to capitalise on their surprise as quickly as possible, which would have been more effective with a working smoke grenade!

EDIT: He fires 9 rounds at first, don't these guns have 8 round magazines? Maybe he had one in the spout, I don't know if you can do that with a Garand, but if so it would make sense when you are trying to fire as fast as possible. Not sure about firing from the hip mind you, did Sobel teach him that?! I only count 6 in his next round but that's harder to keep track of.

But yeah, welcome to the flanking manoeuvre. Even with a "whole other company" and fast artie response, that was a massacre.

What I oft wonder about these types of films is... did they know they were making crap? Was it a concious decision or was there some amount of self delusion involved?

reference was to hollywood...from "Race" live in San Fran...forgive my stream a conciousness-the whole idea of picking apart the surreal or ultra-unreal, and boxing it up, for whatever reason....seems silly..probly' why sayyyy entomology is not a good choice for some.....from, "What Insects Think Vol IV"...

Unlikely things happen constantly.

Also, this idea that there is no design because "I could do better" seems to me to prove something about the human brain and human conciousness being the product of an intelligence. How is it possible that we have the capacity to "do it better" than nature if we are nothing more nor less than a product of purely natural forces?

WTF-~^ (to any of the above!?)

"Am not at all surprised to hear that Benjee seeing as what you listen to" - what the hell is that string of words supposed to be saying, Farhad? I can't make any sense of it, to verbally smack you down (again!)

"oh shit, c'mon now Farhad, that's an invitation.....hip in yer world,... I don't even have the thrift store close with the clothes on sale half-priced...." Choggie - as always, your steady-stream of conciousness converted to text confuses me...

In 1968, The Monkees put out a Psychedelic stream-of-conciousness movie called HEAD. It was written by then, Jack Nicholson, and Bob Rafelson. Predictably, it was a box-office flop, as their teenage fans were expecting more bubblegum. Instead, they got a demented, fairly subvursive,a dn quite dark film. Their careers were damaged pretty severly by it.

This is a fairly non-poppy acid-rock song from it, featuring a sequence of a Merry Pranksters style Acid Test party.

The marriage of physics, kenetic energy and semi-concious meatbots! That's Entertainment!

Well, I guess you can give them major points for lack of self-conciousness.

I've always liked the very self-concious cameo in TO CATCH A THIEF. But hopping up out of the wheelchair in TOPAZ is the best.

LOL I love the "PC Rebooting Press [F2] for BIOS" look on that guys face when he initially snaps back into conciousness. It's like ...
W...
T...
F....

This experiment has been around for centuries in it's basic form, both seeming to confirm and deny particle theory. There's TONS of info out there you can find with a simple engine search. It's not magic, just hard to understand. Waves and particles ARE connected, somehow, to probability or POTENTIAL. Since we don't actually observe in one instance, particles could POTENTIALLY go thru both slits...so we get results as if they did go through both and interfere with each other. But, if we observe it going through one slit and not the other, then it's no longer possible for the POTENTIAL to exist anymore...and the behaviour is different. Fascinating stuff...but not magic, conciousness or any of that the way we'd like to imagine.

At least that's my opinion.

Ok, I'm not saying the video is wrong, or right. I'm not saying that it isn't linked to facts, religion, conciousness, or whatever. It's just that I'm not sure how this animation is science in any way, shape, or form. How does it prove anything? Someone show me research please, I don't understand how this is the top ranked video on videosift, when it has nothing backing it, it seems to merely be a strange theory someone made a cartoon about...? What the $*&@ do we know is right, and I'm asking what the *%$# do I know from the video, I learned nothing, nothing. I didn't catch a place where they put in something backing this amazing crap? Why? ?


"It's amazing how worked up people get about something because they don't understand it exactly."

I don't see anywhere how the double-slit experiment is somehow liked to conciousness of some kind. It's not. Most universities with an advanced enough physics lab can do this experiment and the result is always the same. Observation is not an EFFECT, but a changing of possible variables and possibilities of somekind. It's amazing how worked up people get about something because they don't understand it exactly.

The experiment and it's results simple are what they are. Anyone trying to link it to God or mysticism of some kind is using it like they use any mystery to further these beliefs.
