Upon turning around it seems like the eyes are more focused on the door rather than the viewer. Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but it adds an interesting layer to the piece ... thank you for your art
good call-out, i had originally intended for the eyes to track the camera but then you would never be able to see around the eye.
I care about people, though I cast out any destructive spirits that motivate them. Even the turning of the wheel of samsara is sustained by the three poisons of ignorance, greed, and hatred...all of which are transformed by cultivating wisdom, generosity, and kindness. Thus, our existence is purposeful: to become like Christ.
I seldom agree with your conclusions, but I like how well thought out they are. Too many others like going online just to foam at the mouth and post over-simplified rage bait memes about it. It's refreshing to see someone capable of critical thinking, so keep writing.
@eastathenaeum thanks, ppl should be more civil in public. i state from the outset that my goal is not to convince anyone, but to share my worldview, and i also want to learn what others think.
"Not quite content with leaving their own home in ruins, the space monke attempt to colonise a planet symbolic of war..." At that point, I turned off Animal Planet and thought, "If it will redirect military spending into terraforming research that could be adapted towards ecological restoration, then maybe there is a silver lining there?"
To be honest, I'd rather not have a Star Wars program preamble to another Cold War...*sigh* Well, at least there are no Martian societies to raid for slaves...As always, interesting document ΩΩΩΩΩΩ.
...I know this underwater, but my first thought was Cydonia...Just trying to interpret why the death chime sounded.
your interpretation is as valid as mine, i took the same approach of just receiving signals from my brain. my take is that we go alone on a dangerous and risky path just for some symbolic achievement, after which only death (optionally rebirth) proceeds.
cydonia because its orange and there are cnidarians which kinda sounds like cydonia
once you get foot pedals to control the KVM switch for your Beowulf cluster, it's ogre...
One must experience the bliss of changing workspaces with one of those logitech shift knobs.
While a picture may be worth a thousand words, "ease of use" β "usefulness".
Haha, thank you! Calhoun's study is unnerving to say the least, but overpopulation in nature is typically regulated by factors like resource scarcity, disease, etc. Which were mostly controlled for in the experiment. The closest human comparison was Kowloon, which had a high population density and infant mortality rate, but people could leave the city and demographic reports are questionable. Avoid Calhoun's Utopia!
rice reveal... ricing linux is really just vanitas but for nerds. the smartest programmer that ever lived used a completely stock Ubuntu desktop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYE2Urp1n8s
very nice
As for the journal entry...Indeed, there are so many inversions/perversions of Truth within society that it can be hard to see past them sometimes...
...emphasis on violent competition rather than peaceful cooperation, meaningless notions of "rank" or "status" rather than true equality, taking by force in order to entertain personal wants rather than freely giving to fulfill other's genuine needs, hoarding rather than sharing, tearing down rather than lifting up, and so on.
In a similar way, sins are prisons built upon fear. Pride is often a cover for insecurity, while greed and lust can be futile attempts at countering a sense of lack and loss, however contradictory that might seem upon the surface. Temptation itself is to mistake hell for a heaven, and thereby become trapped in it.
Therefore, living as Christ still means persecution, for it is difficult to survive outside of a society that would constantly compel one to sin. However, there is incredible beauty and joy in sincerely trying to be steadfast in virtue amidst the chaos and pain. It brings forth an Agapic Love that is ineffable.
This Agapic Love can only be lived. It is known experientially, not merely "intellectualized" about. This is the true "gnosis".
