At this time, the validity of the graph is ( should be ) out of question. It is correct. Full stop.

Yes I agree, discuss and present their case. Not say exactly the same thing over and over again ad nauseum without furthering the discussion at all but rather miring it in endless derailments

Originally posted by MrXYZArgument from ignorance, also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam or "appeal to ignorance" (where "ignorance" stands for: "lack of evidence to the contrary"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false, it is "generally accepted" (or vice versa).
So hilarious because you didn't mention the "or vice versa". i.e. That it works both ways. i.e. That Sterologist is doing the exact same thing. i.e. Stereologist says "It can't be real because there's no evidence (that I personally accept)". It's "generally accepted" that none of this can be true, so it isn't. Mainstream science says this isn't how time works, so it can't be right.
In other words, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Why don't you guys abandoned this thread if it will lead to nothing?

You guys have a freaking agenda. Stop denying it. Let's come to the facts. I repeat, you guys want to make sure that most people stay away from here, making them believe that them reading this thread is worthless and won't be useful for them. I personally won't change my opinion until I will have seen that on that determinate day nothing life-changing for humanity happens. My agenda is disclosing your aim to make people stay away.
My agenda is sincerity. Your agenda is a freaking mind-game.
McKenna has said himself that Dec 21st 2012 is not positively the end all be all, and that it is just a coincidence that the program coincided with Mayan predictions.
He said whether it's in 2012, or 500 years from now, we will reach that point in our knowledge and understanding of the universe where our human consciousness will return to the source, and that these events are a way for the universe to connect the dots.
This website gives an overview of the theory for those who'd like to read about it and maybe understand it a little more before being so cynical.

What Mayan predictions? That whole 2012 nonsense is in the same boat as TWZ, because the Mayans never said anything's going to happen. The only thing that happens is that the Mayan calendar enters a new area, just like we do every year on December 31st...and just like the Chinese do with their calendar.
The "events" on his graph are totally arbitrary...whatever "fits best" is used as a "novel" event. That's the whole issue with TWZ, it's an arbitrary system akin to painting a bullseye after shooting at a barn door.
It's not about being cynical, it's about being rational and logical.
Maybe you guys don't understand...If you continue defending your claim that timewave is a hoax, you are giving importance to the subject.

According to Mayan elders we are in the 4th period of the sun. December 21st 2012 marks the beginning of the 5th period of the sun and a supposed change in the collective perception of our reality that humans have experienced many times in the past.
I was stating that McKenna said it was a coincidence that his TWZ coincided with this date, as he hadn't heard of the Mayans before this was created.
Did you even read the link or watch the interview? McKenna didn't include any events on his time wave. It is strictly a graph that when plotted creates a fractal pattern. You are correct in events being arbitrary, and the events that people attribute to the graph are from their personal understanding. I don't think people should be trying to use the graph to predict specific events because that's not what it's meant for.
To give a rational, logical viewpoint, one must first fully comprehend what they are talking about. You can start with the links I've provided, although I have a feeling they will be ignored. Many "new age" folks tend to misinterpret the use of this graph and end up portraying it as a nonsensical idea to rational people. McKenna was a very logical person.
