Link to original post: [drupal=3120]What i've been living for the last 2 weeks[/drupal]



For the last 2 weeks including at the tournament I was at my main reason of being was to see the sun come up in the morning when I walk to school only about a mile long walk. The peak of my day is walking backwards against a busy road trying to find the sun.

I've been more calm and kindof stiwch in and out of my normal modes. I think the best way to sum me up is a crazy/deep person(Of course there is much much but that's at simplest form) I've been more deep i've been going around asking people deep questions like this one I thought up that always has a neat anwser.

If a machine/robot that only you could see gave you flawless advice for how to live longer and happier would you listen to it? Keep in mind this would start at a very young age and you can only could to or not to it's not an on and off button.

But yeah I think friday I will finally see it rise maybe saturday but I will walk to school and record it and I will sit in the snow for a while if I don't see it. I have to I don't know why but this is more important than most things in my life.

That's nice.

As for your question, I would listen to it, I see no downsides as you described it. It would make me a happier individual, but I'd still be able to take other decisions on my own.

Why, in the computer of course.
I agree with the above poster. I see that you're trying to imply that the robot's lack of emotion may...affect you (as I can't explain any better) but really, if it lets me live more happily, then sure, I'll take it.

The argument for the other side is "I'd like to make my own decisions in life," and I can't really argue with that. But I still would take the robot's advice.

If you were born into heaven how do you know that you are happy if you don't know what bad is? You would be happier on Earth with your mistakes teaching you what is there. I call it the invisble visble like if everything was the same size somehow no one would know what big was even if everyone was big that's the main flaw in the machine and the fact you become one.

I should write A book lol I have many crazy ideas that are uber deep.

You know that claiming to be deep just makes people think you're not deep at all, right? That sort of thing really has to be determined by the people around you.

Not saying you're not, its just that in my experience this is the case.

Also, I'm super attractive.

I am just going to say none of your ideas are "deep" or anything new. You are playing off of the "if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" saying.

Get over yourself.

HI GLYPH =D

I'm sorry I didn't mention you T_T

And @ Car guy who's crazy: making claims in general always has the opposite affect. The greater the claim, the greater the disbelief. If you were that deep you would realize this. ._.

Of course makes a sound you thought of the sound and made it real. I can hear it falling now. This more along the lines of my own ideas i've been think of invisble visbles for a long time. A few key thing that are different

choice
why you choose you choice compared to the tree falling there can be many more reasons why i've many different reasons and some people don't even know why they wouldn't listen to the machine.
this one would chaged or effect you
with the tree it's asking what's real THIS has nothing to do with what's real and what's not

Really coompareing the 2 is like compareing a bag to a chair only thing is they are made of matter and are used(ideas and words in this case)

No this is my own idea and no one(as in a person) got to thinkiong this but myself i've lived in mind for many years

This is extremely arrogant to say.

Let me just assure you of something...
There are well over six billion people in the world. If you have thought of something, I can guarantee to you that someone else has thought of the same thing. I'm sure you're going to respond with something like "lol i just thought of 2 polar bears riding on a talking pineapple juggling two miniature stars who are singing a song ai just made up. NO ONE HAS THOUGHT OF THAT LOAWLOL." I would hope that you understand what I mean.

I have seen third-graders come up with extremely similar thoughts as you're having. I wouldn't consider what you're thinking of very "deep" mainly because I didn't read it and go into thinking-mode. You asked an extremely basic trust question. Would you trust a stranger who gave good advice. That's all. The only thing that changed is the stranger is a robot. So that adds one more factor into it, but it's still very simple.

What I'm gathering about you is that you're extremely self-absorbed and arrogant. You constantly talk and think about yourself, and how you're so different and deep. I honestly think that you believe you are better than everyone else around you, whether you want to outwardly admit it or not.

Oh, and if a tree falls in a forest and nothing is there to hear it, it does not make a sound. What you described is you thinking of a sound a tree would have made. Without anything to hear it, it simply makes a disturbance in the air.

It all goes down to what is decribed as sound actually. Is Sound a disturbance in the air in the audible range or is it the reaction in our heads once the air waves hit out inner ear and sends a message to our brain.

From what I gather, sound is the interaction between the disturbance and our ears. Without it being interpreted by something, it is nothing more than a disturbance.

I was saying no one told me this thought and I come along it myself, I know people may have thought of it before like I once figured out the meaning of life and years later I looked it up to see other veiws and my was on the list of may be the meaning.

If you were born into heaven how do you know that you are happy if you don't know what bad is?
This is nearly the same thing as the tree example. You are essentially saying that you can't be sure of anything. If you are never sad, how can you be sure if you a truly happy? If you don't hear the tree hit the ground, how do you know it ever happened? If you are the only one who can see the robot how do you know he is real, and that his advice isn't just your psyche telling you what you want to hear?

None of this is deep, new, innovative, or different in anyway.

I'm totally with Melomaniacal on the fact that you are just a self-absorbed teenager trying to get people to think you are special. You're not special. No one is special. There is always someone out there with the same thoughts and reactions as you.

As I said before, get over yourself. Let things come naturally and people will respect what you have to say more.

Sorry I misunderstood you at first. I'm trying not to be rather rude. Seeing how you don't know me.

Becuase everyone I ask that KNOWs me have no clue how you describe me they normally just say your F***ing nuts Hodapp or your Hodapp I have no idea how to describe you.

I believe that you would not. Confucius has already said something like 'Experience is a candle that enlightens only the one bearing it', not sure about the exact words. I'm quite sure that most people would not even listen to it.

You know that claiming to be deep just makes people think you're not deep at all, right? That sort of thing really has to be determined by the people around you.

I Love you! :embarrass

Seriously, Carzy. Move on. There isn't a single blog that you don't claim to be either crazy or deep. Knowing that you are crazy makes you not-so-crazy at all. Just somebody who seeks attention / needs to feel like an individual.

You should be nominated for the best attention seeker of the internet's history.

Bull.

Just because I don't observe thousands of things dying (just an example) doesn't mean that those people don't die.

Just because there isn't anyone to hear the tree falling doesn't mean it doesn't make a sound.

The comparison you made doesn't make sense at all in this case.

Without something to interpret the sound, it is nothing more than a disturbance in the air. Basically, in order for sound to exist, there needs to be a transmitter, a conductor and a receiver. In the case of the tree falling, there is a transmitter and a conductor (tree hitting the ground and the air), but there is no receiver. Without a receiver, no sound is being made. Simply a disturbance in the air.

I mean, the first sentence in the Wikipedia page makes it clear for what the criteria is for sound to exist:
Wikipedia said:
Sound is a traveling wave which is an oscillation of pressure * transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas **, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated in organs of hearing by such vibrations ***.
So what we need is a wave (transmitter) *, a conductor **, and a receiver ***.

If all these criteria are not met, it is not considered sound. In the case of the tree falling with nothing around to hear it, we have no receiver, we have no sound. Sure, the wave and the air still exist, but still, no receiver, no sound.

That may be true, but using wikipedia to support your claim is like saying you're the best looking guy around because your mom said so.

It just so happens that my mom is right, though.

I would cite my physics books, but I had to return them once the semester ended. How about the dictionary definition?

"the sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium."

Receiver still necessary for sound to exist.

Basically where I'm trying to get at is that you aren't arguing with me; I'm not making this up or stating my opinion. This is physics. In physics, sound is only sound if there is a receiver.

What you (not you, but those who are arguing against it) are arguing is whether or not the physical sound wave exists. Yes, the wave does exist, but, again, without something to interpret it, it is merely a disturbance in the air. Don't think of sound as a physical thing, but rather a perceived thing.

If I don't see something does that mean it's invisble?
If no one can see that object, then yes, it is invisible.

Yeah, I caught that and tried to beat you to it. I failed (kind of). :p

Yes, I know Wikipedia isn't the best source, but it's the most convenient, and when it's right, it's right.

@Title: What, you were dead for most of your life? *rimshot!*

@ Topic: To be completely honest, I had a hard time understanding the wording in your post.

So if someone sees it then it must be real. Right? Then i've seen a danceing potato before and I doubt that was real but to this def. it is. I've mistaken mailboxs for people also does that mean that they were people?

well think about how it's been put
what you don't hear/see isn't real
should what you hear and see be real and if it's not how can we say what real is?

Really I don't like argueing online becuase i'm so limted in what I can say due to spelling and etc. Like I can't you some words, like right there I avoided a few different words I could've used due to the fact I can't spell some.

Well I guess that's good to know... I never knew that sound only qualified as sound if there was something to recieve the sound...

There's such a thing as an imagination or a hallucination, where you "see" something that isn't there. So the dancing potato you saw was not real, you only imagined it.

Allow me to clarify what I meant.

There is not a single argument in the world that can be strengthened by, "i've seen a danceing potato".

Ever. Not only can I not take you seriously, but your presistance is borderline rude imo.

Glyph is love.

*Cough* On a serious note, you're just an attention seeker that seeks individuality, Carzy. Not only do you fail, but you even look more dumb than crazy.
