[Jedi Belinos]

[Lord Maul]

you have to have windows media player to see the words. it is truly amazing once you see it

If it wasn't for the hilarious epic music it would be kinda dull. Some of the facts are really interesting though.

[Lord Maul]

like how the freshmen in college pretty soon will be learning stuff in their first year that will be outdated by their third :shock: :shock:

[Ronin]

That one was a little spooky. This is my last year in school, if I don't go to grad school, to think that so much of what I have already learned is outdated :(. But at the same time it just gives me more of a reason to keep up with the current.

If it wasn't for the hilarious epic music ...

That's the theme from Last of the Mohicans, one of my top favourite film scores

It's interesting how this video never cites actual scientific studies.

Seriously, it was just an infomercial/propaganda for China.


If I'm to believe this video, then Chinese robot overlords will rule the planet in less than 50 years.

*LOL* And now WE know...........

[Jonitus]

I for one welcome our Chinese robot overlords with more computational power than the entire human race.

Meh...I'll be dead by then. You youngsters have fun with Skynet, mmmkay?

That reminds me of the connection I thought up between The Terminator, The Matrix, The De Vinci Code and Star Wars...


In short, they are all the same movie!

So, assuming you've seen all 10 movies, this is how I came to this conclusion...

The Terminator came first. That was where it all started, but unfortunately the war didn't go well for the human race. So after we had the bright idea to "block out the sun" the machines got the bright idea to use us as there main source of power...

Enter The Matrix.

So the machines create the matrix, however; it's unstable and they have to keep starting over and over again. Star Wars just happens to be one of those tries, hence "A long time ago..."

So that makes Jedis just a bunch of Neos without a clue. The Force is just them controlling the Matrix, but they don't really understand that this is the real reason for it.


So you might now ask, "What does the De Vinci Code have to do with any of this?" Well, in The Matrix they go to see "The Frenchman" who is of the Merovingian blood line. In The De Vinci Code the Merovingian’s are the direct decedents of Jesus, who could be construed also having control of the Matrix, thus performing all the miracles described in The New Testament.



And that’s how I came to this conclusion. I have way too much time on my hands…
:roll:

[Ryma Mara]

Good one FB. Humm I do kinda the same thing cept it happens when Iam really drunk.

[Ambo]

Yeah, but...
what if when they constructed the matrix they couldn't reproduce the tastes of things, let say duck... or frogs. That might be why everything tastes like chicken!

:roll:

maybe you should sell time. People need more time. I'd buy a case of time for sure :P

[quote="Firebird21"]REALLY LARGE QUOTE! Please don;t do that. -Xwing/quote]

:o wow... :shock:

[Ambo]

What the?........lost me there.......

[Angelus Lupus]

He quoted over a screens worth of stuff from 2 people and then simply added 'wow'
I think Xwing modified his post after that

[elrond.406]

whoops! :oops:

[Nightwing]

Right, so... back to our apparent doom...


I seriously doubt that computers will reach the total complexity of the human brain. They might be able to think faster, but they can't be as creative.

Little movies like this reduce humankind's intelligence down to basically just an organic computer. So, what? Mankind doesn't have a soul? Our minds are just computers, and our bodies are just machines?


I don't believe that mankind can ever create "virtual life", because I don't believe that life is a simple mechanism.

[WeirdoTransvestite]

Firebird, where can I get some of the stuff you're smoking?
