Topic: Off-topic / Belief

Absurdism and maybe monotheistic existentialism, depending on how it’s defined. Never really heard about “monotheistic existentialism”. After reading the wiki more, some variant of Kierkegaardian existentialism and acknowledgement of nihilism… that leading to absurdism.

Topic: Off-topic / Do people still teach empathy?

You might not help someone because you have empathy and understand that a person is suffering. Maybe you get a kick out of that.

There are many definitions of empathy, some would disagree with empathy only being understanding other’s feelings and not actually feeling other’s feelings. IMO you can’t feel others’ feelings, to feel their pain as if it was your own, if you want to harm them. Only understand. Rationalize. A leads to B. Etc.

Topic: Kongai / Counter This Card

BBB has a good chance. Even better with a Mug. Drop Kick Spam, Load and Fire Cannon. A sure win.

Rathbone is a medium good counter to him, except against CC with Girdle. Rath can do damage to CC’s deck with Domination…

Gunbjorn does a good damage to him with Ice Shards. At close range it is a guessing game.
3 Ice Shards kill CC, and with Bracers Gunbjorn becomes even better against him.

OH… And VV kills CC with 2 hits, provided they both hit.

Eva can be a tough opponent against him. Force far → Fiery Passion 33 dmg. She will win with Stoneheel Totem. CC will need to do 4 Voidstreams to kill her, 3 if Tomes proc once, then it’s a tie. But if CC has Tomes and Not Girdle, then Eva has little to fear at close range with her Head Over Heels which interrupts enemy attacks and makes them attack themselves. Then it will be a guessing game at close, though…

Actually, most characters with Stoneheel Totem have a decent chance against CC. CC hates the Totem.

And finally, Bestor. If CC forces far and Bestor has the prism, suicidepyroclasm for massive deck damage. A good trade.

Topic: Serious Discussion / The ethics of the creation of highly specialised minds

I Somehow missed your page from this list. Didn’t check what “auxiliary” meant either. Oh well. I think it’s time to finally go to sleep now.

Topic: Serious Discussion / The ethics of the creation of highly specialised minds

Aah, now I understand. I actually hadn’t heard of AGIs before this. I just checked the wiki and found out AGI means Auxiliary General Intelligence. No article about it exists in the wiki… It just redirects to this, which doesn’t help at all. Thinking this more tomorrow.

EDIT: Woah, why is my post so messed up? The link should be this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxiliary_General_Intelligence
EDIT: Fixed, I just had to use <i>to italicize</i> instead of _the easier way_. Somehow the formatting didn’t like the easier way.

Topic: Off-topic / Code Lyoko Evolution

No, not at all. More from this. Was scary as hell at times…

Topic: Kongai / Counter This Card

Ok, Anex vs. Ranec, starting range close (the most usual range).

Anex has Sharpening Stone, Ranec has Captain’s Grog Mug

Due to Ranec’s innate Anex uses Enchant Blade. Ranec uses Two-Sword Slash
Turn ends.
Anex: 40 hp, 100 en Ranec 75 hp, 80 en

Ranec uses Two Sword Slash, Anex uses Chakkram Slash.
Two Sword Slash hits first, activating Anex’s innate, raising CS’s damage to (20+8) x 1,5 = 42 dmg.
Chakkram Slash slows Ranec’s attacks by 2, meaning Anex gets to attack first next turn.
Turn ends.
Anex: 10 hp, 100 en Ranec 33 hp, 60 en

In this scenario Anex will win if she hits. BUT if Ranec’s Two Sword Slash would’ve been procced removing Enchant Blade, Anex would’ve done only 30 dmg. Anex would’ve force far, as Ranec had only 60 energy, and then used Boomerang Chakkram, which would’ve done 25×1,5=37 dmg.
Turn ends.
Ranec: 8+25(Grog Mug)=33 hp, 100 en Anex: 10 hp, 40 en

Anex will only win if she crits once in a scenario where Ranec’s Two Sword Slash removed Enchant Blade.

NOTE: With different items there would be very different results.

You should get Nokia 920.

And I’m thinking that more mature people usually cry more than others, as they have gotten ridden of the social implications – from their childhood – of it being somewhat childish and/or shameful. Just my opinion though.

but, why??

Probably because Santa Claus has been pretty much detached from Christianity. Nowadays christmas (or x-mas) is more of a commercial holiday above everything else.

Topic: Off-topic / Real or Fake Tree?

Hopefully a real tree, we don’t even need to buy one.

Topic: Serious Discussion / The ethics of the creation of highly specialised minds

Would it be more ethical to raise a synthetic mind to feel happiness when safely carrying passengers instead of programming it to feel that from the start? I’m bringing this up this because the distinction may be important if no (legal) difference between a synthetic conscience and natural conscience is made.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Quote Discussion, Current quote: “The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.”

Is Azn really missing the point of the thread? I find his/her disagreement with current quotes a refreshing change.

EDIT: And yes, I agree with the quote… It depends on how you define a “great man”. I define humility being part of it.

If it was found out I was lying in every of my arguments and opinions here, how would that affect my arguments?

Not quite. I’m going very metaphysical here.

Hmm…. Anex vs Ranec….
I’ll post my thoughts about that later.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Axiom: Christian God exists and the Bible is true.

Those soldiers also pillaged Byzantine, only due to its riches.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Axiom: Christian God exists and the Bible is true.

Atheism can’t turn you into a fanatic.

I’ve seen a couple of atheists here who would rather see all Christians dead. In these forums.

crimes of Mao and Stallin aren’t atheistic acts. They didn’t kill in the name of atheism, they killed so that their communist parties would continue to rule in a dictatoric way.

Quite a bold claim. If I have understood correctly, Lenin and Stalin were highly ideological persons and they genuinely thought that religion is “an opiate of the people that needed to be removed in order to construct the ideal communist society.”

Topic: Serious Discussion / Palestine being recognized as a separate state

I agree, but now when Israel exists, the same mistake shouldn’t be made again… by “removing” Israel. There should be a peaceful solution to this.

Topic: Serious Discussion / On Anarchy:Chaos and Order

Advancement of human intelligence tells us that engaging in pointless and needless wars is stupid and only wastes human lives

I wonder when we advance to that level. Actually… isn’t ‘pointless’ and ‘needless’ subjective?
What is pointless to someone…

Topic: Serious Discussion / Axiom: Christian God exists and the Bible is true.

It’s been a long philosophical debate defining what constitutes as ‘evidence’. It’s not that simple. Are you familiar with positivism?

Topic: Serious Discussion / Gay Marriage

Originally posted by Darkruler2005:

Your definition of marriage is an opinion, not a fact. It can become sort of a public fact, when many(50+%) people agree with your definition.

Majority rule on sensitive issues such as this asks for blatant and legal discrimination.

I agree, and that’s why I’m only talking about definitions. If I could start a referendum on this, I’d be sure to offer only non-discriminating options.

Originally posted by Darkruler2005:

Are you saying that heterosexual marriage hasn’t always been the most common of all those? Or how do you define traditional? And this also depends on your perspective, we should look at the history of western world to inspect what is/was the traditional marriage.

He’s showing there are more cultures than just the American one (which, ironically enough, is pretty young), and that there are many cultures focusing on issues other than “just” the man/woman thing. I dislike how you manage to squeeze in “western world”.

I understand your dislike, I should have said traditional western marriage instead. I think every culture has a slightly different “variant” of marriage.

Originally posted by Darkruler2005:
Legal equality while not having legal marriage is inherently contradictive. The church is not forced to marry homosexuals, but if you want to claim legal equality you’d better start legally marrying those homosexuals.

How is it inherently contradictive?

Originally posted by Darkruler2005:
Bah, there are no laws against being a bad parent. Such studies are purely out to stop homosexuals from adopting kids (and aren’t even against the concept of marriage).

Are you arguing that those studies done here in Finland are unscientific/biased? Do you see no other reason to study that other than stopping homosexuals from adopting kids?

Originally posted by Darkruler2005:

This is very culture specific, I think. I learned that from my psychology studies. There is different results in USA and Finland in many studies.

How can another marriage influence your own? I don’t see the link.

Oh, true. It may or may not have adverse effect on divorce rates, but I confess that’s irrelevant on the topic at hand. I wasn’t arguing anything in that post it seems, just pointing you may get different results from different cultures even though the study is the same.
