Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Did anyone look up [JB] ? Trump said Jerry Brown instead of Willie Brown.
A theory posits that the number 0, representing ultimate existence and limitless potential, should be defined as God. Just as God is viewed as the origin and foundation of all things, zero can be seen as the fundamental building block of mathematics. Both omnipresent and omnipotent, God and zero share the qualities of being present in all numerical concepts, with endless combinations and permutations. Eternal and unchanging, zero remains a constant in our numerical systems, always at the core of mathematical truths.
In this perspective, zero is not merely the absence of quantity, but the infinite potential from which all numbers and calculations arise. Just as God transcends human comprehension, zero lies beyond our understanding of mathematics, serving as the underlying force allowing for the existence and interaction of numbers.
Through defining zero as God, we unify mathematics and philosophy, recognizing zero as the foundational principle representing the ultimate source of all existence and potentiality. By exploring this theory, mathematicians and philosophers can delve into new concepts and insights, potentially developing groundbreaking mathematical structures and theories. This redefinition of zero as God could spark discussions on the interconnectedness of mathematics and spirituality, fostering interdisciplinary research and exploration. Ultimately, redefining zero as God has the potential to expand our mathematical knowledge and deepen our understanding of the universe's mysteries.

Any practical applications, either in philosophy or Maths with this?
maybe..
If man is God, no man will be free, for all will be subject to the Gods in power.

I'm laughing at preddit r/politics.. their echo chamber is at shrill levels of shilling, as preddit faces enshittification going into the 2024 election.
preddit is a MSM arm, most of the MSM deluded go there now.
upvote for "shrill", "shilling" and, especially, "enshittification"!
I think its more than just a MSM arm, I think its a direct Intel operation
i think so too. but it's a ghost town of bots and msm NPC's.
Yeah, the psyop was so good that most normies just checked out!
Basically this happened during the plandemic and vaxicide times when they started banning anyone who posted on NonNewNormal or any of the other slightly truther subreddits.
I stopped redpilling on Reddit when I realised that its 95% bots and 5% other Anons, and I would cross path with Anons more often than with a real human.
This is why twitter is so powerful. Real people still exist there and its very easy to step out of conservative bubble and reach lefties. Even if most leftie tweets are from shills and operatives, the comments are full of real people.
My sister lurks on Reddit. She found a global map of incest, and it is essentially the Islamic world. Too many cousinfuckers keeps the average IQ levels low.
^ that was a triggerd predditor, enraged that someone exposed the truth of their preddit echo chamber.
Thankfully the comment got caught up in the filter.
How can they look into my eyes
And still they don't believe me?
How can they hear me say those words
Still they don't believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever believe me?
And if they don't believe me now
Will they ever, they ever, believe me? Oh...
Anyone have recommendation for sci fi shows or movies for the wkend?
You seriously need to see this. It's an animated Aliens short fan film. It's all animated by one guy, the one who did the TIE Fighter and the R-Type animations if you've seen those. The animator perfectly nails the Ridley Scott atmosphere of the first film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShGElGusepA
Also, watch the new Dune movies if you haven't. In June I re-rented the first movie and I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot more the second time around. (I hated the gender swap of Dr. Kynes the first time, but the second time I saw it I'd already relaxed.)
Christopher Walken plays the Emperor, which my friend and I found to be particularly ironic since he was in that Fatboy Slim music video for "Weapon of Choice" in which he dances in that empty hotel. The lyrics go "Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm," which is a Dune reference. So him playing a role in the second Dune movie somehow brings this full circle for some LULZ.
I would recommend the Russian movies "Coma", "Attracttion" (2017) or "Blackout"
i have seen both, Coma and Blackout, and they were good.. i haven't heard of attraction
Attraction is a two part movie, I think the second part has its own diffent name.

I frickin' LOVE the X-Files. When I was in college in the '90s, I lost track of the show since I was working on campus every Sunday evening. I was turned off by how the original two actors had been replaced and that never works (reminded me of Dukes of Hazzard in that way). But I ended up really enjoying those later episodes. My favorite was the one about that mysterious Brady Bunch house that ejected people into the air.
need a break frens? it's a BSG kinda day.
JK, no breaks. get to your fuckin battlestations. 😁

Ah, you see, I am such a TOS BSG fag. When I was a little boy, I wanted a Colonial Warrior jacket with all the buckles. Sure, many of the episodes were dopey '70s drivel (like painting stripes on horses and adding jaguar noises), but I love TOS Battlestar. I wanted them to reboot the original and keep the Ralph McQuarrie aesthetics, but I hated the Cylons being bioroid/replicants and the Cylon ship designs looked like hood ornaments. I just could not get into the reboot BSG show.
I completely understand why people like it, but my brain is too faggy for the '70s version.
also i have to share the importance of this clip to me- it starts with Apollo walking off after his big trial, after he quit the fleet and put on a suit and did the lawyer thing. then everybody else is running to their stations and he's like 'naw fuck it'. ... then pauses .. then he's like dammit.. and goes and gets his gear and just jumps in a viper.
so much of the way the new BSG is done just really speaks to me, i can't help geekin out about it.
hahah i got ya, i remember original BSG when it was out. they kept the vipers and a lot of the spirit of it anyway.
Anyone have any movie recommendations that loosely show what we are living in now? I have idiocracy and v for vendetta.
Highly recommend Korean movie - Taxi Driver. It seems to be a WH progamming. Shows a lot of stuff like child trafficking, human trafficking etc, and how they all happen right under our noses under the cover of legit businesses. Season two really takes it to next level with a good depiction of the "deep state".
hhah! i just posted a BSG clip above, it's terrific.

Jesus, in speaking to the Father about His chosen ones --
John 17:13-17 (KJV) --
"... 13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. ..."
