I just called in to work. Something epic better happen. I mean other than my sinus infection. I hope the world doesn't end before I can fill my Zithromax.

Sleeping Beauty will be released on blu-ray today... Perhaps that will be the event that dwarfs 9/11?

four minor earthquakes in California in the last hour. And US troops will remain in Kosovo. LINK

And that dot is calmed down to orange.

Yellow right now. At least I'll get a book deal out of this.

If any of you haven't seen the movie Ghost in the Shell, I urge you to give it a look, It has some really interesting philosophical insight.

Puppet Master: As a sentient life form, I hereby demand political asylum.

Chief Aramaki: Is this a joke?

Nakamura: Ridiculous! It's programmed for self-preservation!

Puppet Master: It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So man is an individual only because of his intentional memory. But memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of uncalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought, parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.

Nakamura: Nonsense! This is no proof at all that you're a living, thinking life form.

Puppet Master: And can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you? When neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is.

Ghost in the Shell & Philosophy

AI as a step in evolution

An important concept within Ghost in the Shell is that evolution is the process of merging two sets of data (DNA) in order to create a third set of data which contains the most vital elements of the original organisms along with some element of chance. The Puppet Master has evolved beyond DNA as a datum set and thus to procreate (his true desire and purpose for leaving the net in the first place) this new organism (a soul not born of DNA) a new paradigm of data merging needs to be contemplated for which he has sought Kusanagi out. This is a merger of two operating "souls" or "ghosts" into one mind, which is specifically different from birth while being simultaneously analogous to it.

I'm in Costa Rica and something woke me up at around 2:55am. There was a very loud rumble in the sky, much louder and deeper than a jet and it went on and on so it was not thunder. I assumed it was the asteroid but according to other posts on ATS this has already occurred. Nothing in the mainstream media so far so it could have been a jet I suppose.

Well twelve minutes to go

Does everyone really think something will happen?

Catastrophic common sense will engulf the cosmos for exactly .0025 of a second, causing mass self-destruction of 7-10 conspiracies universally.

......waiting for it.... waiting... waiti...x


Damnit!!! even that one didn't come true... oh well, I can always turn to religion for doom and gloom..

Lets see around that time the Global consciousness project fliped out, Iceland Shut down their banking system, WE had four minor (and I do mean minor) quakes in cali all at the same time, A meteor evaporated, and I may lose an ATS debate for getting over absorbed in this event .....


AHHHH I got sucked in by ATS JUNK!!!!! THe web bots were right!!@!!

In seriousness todays trading will suck, your 401k is gone and by thursday that will likly sink in to the american mindset.... No social security, No retirement for the smart savers, Work till you die, the new american way.

Well nothing happened but we can all see the way things are headed. It will be a long time before people feel safe from financial disaster.

All I know is if you haven't started putting a few things away for a rainy day it is most likely too late. It seems to me the house of cards could crumble at any moment.

I always keep $200.00 on me for that last mad dash to the discount "Save a Lot" that is a mile or so from my work. I hate all this crap but if it does come tumbling down it seems it will be global on a scale never seen before but at least I have about 6 months of food and water stored away.

Some people are more optimistic... Like the so called "experts" but I have no faith in the "everything is fine" quote. We heard that one just before the bailout that if not passed would be a disaster...?

The person in this article says shes not putting anymore money into her 401k. What the article doesn't say is what she is doing with that money...? Is she just sitting on it or are people doing what we are doing and just not talking about it?

If the majority of people are not doing anything to prepare it will be really bad in the streets... I'll have food but I doubt I will get much sleep....

Well, seems to be pretty high latency, but I can ping and pull up their site. Probably just a lot of people watching the news very closely right now
