k, so basicalulzy, all of mankind and some of womankind migrated to all these different places and shit. Rivers were a good place to settle because humans need water to survivalize, so all the first civilizations started with one Settlers unit at three rivers: Denial, Tiger/Euphemism, and the Mississippi. I already said everything you need to know about Egypt, so let's talk Bible: that shit happened, get over it, atheists. It says so in God's Holy Word, you dimwit motherfucker. So anyway, there was Assyria, and most people confuse that with regular Syria, but they're opposites, like 'sexual' and 'asexual', or 'cute' and 'acute'. So Assyria was pretty big, committed mass genocide, etc., then their empire collapsed because the King said there was an anti-sword policy, so only the criminals had swords, and that led to tyranny, and the government spent all their money on strippers instead of maintaining their local ziggurats. So the empire literally crumbled. Then Babylon happened, but that's not important, because then Persia took over everything from Libya to the Mississippi. But then Persia made the biggest mistake of their Persian lives. They invaded Greece, which was divided into shitty-states, but the Greeks united under KING LEONIDAS who kicked an emissary into a bottomless pit and said + Show Spoiler +
this is spartta
and bold leonidas and his 300 reduced their body-fat to incredibly low levels so that their abs would glisten over the battlefield and I think Zack Snyder is an amazing director and wait what were we talking about again?
Well, that's enough for now
Remember kids, believe in your dreams; they're real and you actually go to another dimension
yea you know i spent the last 4 months proving the possibility of 4-dimensional spatiality and suddenly a feel ah alice thru looking glass it's obvious stuff can get bigger or smaller just by meditating and accruing more universal-level particulates. but isn't like everything meditating all the time i guess it's that everything is that makes meditation so good. anyway good to see you nina if i could move to bevelry hills California where you live I'd lose weight at an expensive tire iron gym and probably trade my cigars for cigarillos but until then check out this sweet picture of a cat you've seen before
caution this reply contains serious opinion about possible starcraft presuccessor games
LOL I can never relate to ninazerg blogs and the lack of comments they inspire. I think I fit pretty much roughly the following very rare scenario.
Lives in geographic region v,w,x,y,z; has an iq of above 100, has never taken more than 0g of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide.
I don't think it makes me a criminal to have never taken any of an extremely expensive extremely elitist extremely powerful psychedelic that induces changes in perception that last up to 12 hours.
On the other hand there does seem to be a small subculture of people, almost like a counterculture who are proving at times to be mildly influential. This small counterculture claims to have actually used LSD and sometimes more than a few times. This in itself is pretty shocking I guess because who thought that drugs would ever influence anything since they essentially are like handicapping yourself.
Anyway within these societies there's a mode of speaking and a mode of thinking that relates to a set of economic values that most people have come to agree are perfect for rational behavior like absolutely perfect because they were crafted by really smart people from a place like Harvard.
Anyway you know what I realized the other day is there are these events some of them tend to be really important like ice age 1; ice age 2; dinosaur extinction by meteor; and these events have these weird consequences that often are hard to follow because they take time.
And it's hard to tell a lot of the time how LSD works or whether it influences stuff in a sort of extraordinary! way to borrow an idiom from David Attenborough.
But yeah the reason I never use drugs, Marijuana, LSD, or anything else like heroin cocaine crack cocaine MDMA or ecstameth (which is all pretty much all people use where I live). The reason I don't use these drugs is that there's this weird collective consciousness phenomenon that the first major LSD dealer told me about. I'd never met an LSD dealer before and he was like "Yea, it's weird when they made these super powerful chemical drugs available to everyone in New York (circa 1957)... Anyway, what's weird about it is that no one really knows how they work but they can change your ideas in some really really unusual way that sometimes even affects your language, and the way you see the world. Some people even claim to think differently after having taken Lysergic Acid Diethylamide."
Anyway after he said that I realized that because I was a really satisfied really happy and not-at-all ambitious person that LSD experience wasn't for me. But I feel like I missed something too because I wasn't willing to explore options that some people felt were probably safe.
And my point is that sometimes there are these really important events. Probably the most important one was between Morhaime and Bill Gates (circa 1983) but there were some other really important events in the Chess world too events like Fischer vs Spassky (Cold War Era). And I think what you see is that a lot of the time Chess has something to do with the real world in some possibly counterintuitive way. So the danger of course is that really what was going on with Fischer and Spassky (1972) or Fischer and Karpov, Fischer and Kasparov etc.; anyway the danger with all this stuff is that there's more to it than meets the eye. Like was Fischer and Spassky a more important series than chess followers thought? Maybe it was maybe it wasn't. But to make the intuition more reasonable you can see that Fischer ended up in prison for a while and then went crazy and was heard ranting about 9/11 from a small private island that he owed in the Caribbean and then he died later on too.
Anyway so my point in bringing up the ice ages and the dinosaurs isn't to suggest that Fischer was a sort of Christ-like person because tbh I don't even think that Fischer believed in God, religion, or that he wanted any kind of association with the supernatural. But it is possible, regarding Lysergic Acid Diethylamide that Fischer wasn't totally drug free and that maybe he used stimulants often to win his World Championship matches.
Of course he didn't win that many and isn't regarded as that great and Chess as a sport has been mostly retired to online games on Chess.com and the real world has moved on to play StarCraft because it's so much more accessible and has a better more aesthetic feel.
But if drugs like Lysergic Acid Diethylamide can change your perspective then what's the big worry facing people who have never used sensory-perception alternatives? Well you might not be able to communicate or to think like you're exactly the same as someone who has used LSD. I have no idea if this is bad or good but it makes sense. Most scientists like Dawkins, Leary, Dennett (philosopher of consciousness), Minksy (computer scientist) or even Francisco Varela (biologist) seem to think that it's possible that you could change how you see the world by altering your perception of the world and how you make conscious observations.
Whether I'd go as far as to say, "Well, Fischer was right to relegate himself to eating shit for 20 years because he went G2 instead of castling in match 4" I don't know if I'd go that far. In any case Fischer is dead now LOL and so we'll never really get to hear his perspective. But yeah it's weird like if you or I were confronted individually, or even confronted collectively in a group as to whether Fischer really played move 11 right in the third Spassky game in 1972 I have no idea. Personally I think it doesn't matter and we have no idea what move 11 represented. Whatever the case may be Fischer had an IQ well in excess of 180 and was pretty well-educated especially in Chess and maybe otherwise as well. So whatever Fischer did in game 3 for move #11 was damn close to optimal so it shouldn't matter much whether it was the perfect move or just really close to the perfect move.
The only reason I would ever retract my thinking here is that maybe the perfect move in the wrong context could have long-standing consequences. Like if you were alien overlord Xenu and the question was "Should I agree that the Hale Bop Comet absolutely SHOULD crash into Earth" then it of course it's a yes / no question and you should answer no. Obviously Lord Xenu is a highly qualified interstellar overlord and has always been a highly qualified interstellar overlord. Therefore making a silly mistake like saying "yes, I think it was OK that the Earth was destroyed by the Hale Bop Comet and we lost all our dinozaurzzz" is not really possible for someone like supreme alien overlord Xenu. Basically Xenu is a machine and always make perfectly rational decisions without reference to himself (favoring himself in a way that's a problem) or else if he isn't favoring his own answer he'll choose someone else's if he doesn't have time or something.
Time is really weird and I think it's basically an objective completely arbitrary luck-based phenomenon a lot like chance and luck itself. Since neither really represent anything meaningful in my own life it's pretty much whatever and I just let supreme overlord Xenu and his celestial bitcoin solve most of the meaningful questions that happen to come up in my life whether by chance or just blind-luck.
this is my favorite image of spike where's he's eating grass.
chess is weird what if you were a pawn in a game of chess. BUT THEN YOU DISCOVERED THAT THE BLACK KING WAS ACTUALLY CONTROLLING WHAT THE BLACK PAWNS WERE THINKING WHILE THEY MOVED AT THE BEGINNING AND END OF THE GAME. you'd feel so much ire toward the black king every time you talked to a black pawn. STOP CONTROLLING THE BLACK PAWNS you'd scream.
