Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 8:23 pm Post subject: Science or technology forum? |
|
|
| This would be a very interesting forum for us science buffs. I have alot of technical things I would like to share with the board but have really no where to post them. Maybe the forum could be called The Future Tech forum or something like that. Many of the topics I assume would deal with secret technolgies and where technology is going and how it is connected to the future world. It's just an idea I was considering, what do you guys think? |

I think that's a great idea if you want all the cybergeeks to flock to this forum and inundate it with conspiracy theories. I have a particular interest in that carbon tetrahedron spaceship/planet thingy up there in Jupiter's orbit. But something tells me that's not really appropriate to discuss 'round here. Then again, it would be better than anything some of the clowns around here talk about. _________________ "malakh.....you are by far the most arrogant prig I have ever come across on the web.[...]you are a pathetic human being and the worst christian I have ever had contact with." -MeSoSorry |

| Well then restrict the forum to a higher board. That way it keeps cybergeeks out of the picture. |

revolutionary210,
You're already in Thinking Individuals. The only thing higher than that is the moderators' forum. Are you saying you're not a cyber geek, or that you want to exclude yourself?
Unfortunately the criteria for getting into TI is the exact opposite of what it would be for accessing something like Science and Tech. However, the moderators will give it some thought. If you can round up some popular support that will help. |

OK I admit I'm a cybergeek, lol.
Anyhow, I'll try and find some support, but I'm not too close with anyone on the board yet. I'm sure if others wanted a science and tech forum then I'm sure they will post here in this thread. I'm not saying you guys have to set it up, it was just an idea. |

How would Science and Tech fit in with the rest of the site premise? Let's face facts, 3WW ain't nobody's slashdot. Although I am tempted to create a board called That carbon tetrahedron spaceship/planet thingy up there in Jupiter's orbit just to get Paul to fill in the blanks for me.
I would also like to know how a science/tech board would remain distinct from a debunking snopes type area. The idea sounds perilously close to introducing a can opener to the stockpile of canned worms. _________________ Support the troops - BRING THEM HOME |

Such technolgy is discussed already throughout the forum, ie, HAARP, chemtrails, rfids, etc. These discussions are only important if directly bearing on the site's basic premise and intent and only within that context. _________________ The Bible is like a person... torture it enough and you can get it to say anything you want it to!

I think this new board would be an excellent idea. However it will probably have to be a TI board due to the fact that this may attract too much BSi f it is anywhere else. I think the idea fits in with this web site, because this site is mainly about WW3, and what is one of the most important factors in war? The answer is technology. _________________ I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin', and hook up with them later.

Well I don't know if it's a good idea to withhold knowledge from people who are serious about this world war 3 craze. The coming war is a war of knowledge and of the mind. The more you know the better off you'll be. I don't know where you get the idea that science and technology isn't important to the future world. In reallity, it is probably the most defining factor of your life right now. Technology is advancing at exponetial rates, and soon AI, space travel, and things you couldn't possibly fathom are just around the doorstep if they haven't already been developed in secret, which is a high possiblity.
A science and technology forum would go strictly on fact and opinions on those facts. Not really a place for radical alien technology you found on a Bob Lazar website. |

I don't know where you get the idea that the moderators are out to get you. Nor do I see the reasoning behind your conclusion that anyone has said technology isn't important to the future world. We are just openly speculating on what that means for this forum and asking for your ideas. You are acting as both the plaintiff and the defense in this matter and not really presenting either side. I call that odd behavior.

Yeah, right. If you can tell us how to enforce this without intervention, then by all means have your forum. As Some Guy has already said, the only way to do it is to put it in Thinking Individuals, and that is NOT where it should be.
libertinexxx,
Pertinent threads would obviously be moved to that forum. Who wants to sift through piles of Rants & Raves to get to a discussion about HAARP anyway? |

I agree that this forum would have to be moderated. As I just learned today, TI doesn't have moderation so the forum would have to be in another forum. This would be a place for serious discussion, and not bullshit, pardon my french. I'm not saying intervention is bad, but moderation as a tendency to get out of control do to bias bahavior.
In the end I could see the possible problem with this forum and how it would be related to your site. Not many people here are technology buffs. I just have so much I want to add but have no where to put it. I posted a thread about palladium being the new oil in Peak Oil because I did not know where to put it. I found to my surprise today that the whole thread wasn't just moved RM or something like that, it was deleted.
Just think about it. If it means more work for you guys then don't add it. I wouldn't mind moderating it, and I'm pretty fair when it comes to moderation. |

This is the second reference to "deleted" or otherwise "missing" threads I have read today. I know this post was in place because I read it of course.

More about the carbon tetrahedron thingy please! Any chance this object is large enough and bright enough to resolve with a 4 inch dobsonian telescope? I'd be glad to try to sight it in if you can tell me where to look. _________________ Support the troops - BRING THEM HOME |

Oh come on SMILEY I know you know all about it already. Should I just call it what it is? Okay, it's the Death Star of our solar system.
There's really no need to look through your telescope. NASA sent out a satellite out 8 years ago with the name of the guy who discovered it 300+ years ago. The first pictures came back exactly one year ago minus two weeks. Now the satellite is flying around Titan and it will pass by again I think in February to take more pictures.
Here's 6 pages of photos and lots of alien conspiracy crap.
http://www.enterprisemission.com/moon1.htm
It's mostly true, of course, but who really cares? The scientific establishment couldn't tell the truth if it was paid to because it wouldn't know how. That's why it's impossible to have a discussion about science and tech with people who know the truth and people who don't...it just turns into a few geeks being ridiculed by a bunch of idiots, and then the geeks get bitter and write books and make a lot of money and buy the companies that the idiots work for just so they can fire them and get their revenge.
This will all be common knowledge within the ten years after the Catholic Church fesses up, the American economy collapses, half its cities are burning heaps and people start giving a shit again. Oh wait, that'll never happen. The idiots won't survive because they are too stupid to recognize what's happening. Leave it to the world not to care about its own demise. Not that this has anything to do with what is going to happen in the future, but it will certainly be used as propaganda. _________________ "malakh.....you are by far the most arrogant prig I have ever come across on the web.[...]you are a pathetic human being and the worst christian I have ever had contact with." -MeSoSorry |

Ah. I have read a few things about Iapetus being artificial before but didn't pay it much mind. It can be fun to argue about such things if arguing for the sake of massaging your own ego is where you are in life. Conclusive evidence is rather hard to come by in this case as with any well constructed conspiracy theory. The same way we cannot prove the US landed on the moon because no telescope in existence is powerful enough to take a picture of the flag, we do not have the hardware to take a picture of an alleged 22 mile high hemispheric seam so many millions of miles away. Not even the Hubble is capable of that kind of magnification.
This is the kind of thing that makes me very skeptical of a 3WW "science" area. Most of the discussions, because of the nature of the site, would be on things that simply are not falsifiable. That is unless one of our forum members happens to live in the deserts of Tunisia with a flawless 200 foot diameter parabolic mirror they are dying to build a telescope around. If that is you, please do not uncover the mirror during daylight hours. We'd hate to hear you turned yourself into plasma in a solar concentration accident. _________________ Support the troops - BRING THEM HOME |
