  1. Jeff the yogu What is time, And can you be w/ nature, the birds and the bees, the body, the trees, and can you see what everything is, or forget and see to what truly is? Or is there something to see, a war to be freed from, and more and more and more, what do we seek, What is time when its 'let be, That time w/ eyes closed, heart so wide, whatever it may be on the other side. You'll see into air like time's flare, illumination stare from every direction you care. Its just a poem i wrote to illustrate the video. p.s. avidya was one of my names on another account, tho i just didnt use it much, suffice to say it communicated that side to this idea thats hard to describe, even tho im not a big sanskrit guy, theres avidya and a few terms we could def use
  2. (cont.) @NewKidOnTheBlock Like, i dont even sleep. I stay up 100+ hrs., just thinking into mystico-philosophico-wanderings... Apart from all of the art/language (so much so, that anything about religion and politics is very low on my register, beyond the bare-basic knowledge ive shared), and then i oscillate over that routine - over the course of a period or two, w/ the intention to get everyone thinking, wherever the needle may land; As the mean, median and mode of exploration / thinking in general.
  3. Good. The answers, "Yes". Its about whatever you are willing to share / participate in, overcoming any stigmas attached... The answer is "Yes". And "goood", As far as your willingness to share. Im tryina get some real muslim/ islam ppl thinking, for they are who keep stressin the significance of god and islam, but im the wrong pers. in their eyes, assuming they wanna cont., teachin me, for, im just a person getting everyone to think.
  4. We often get confused cause its like, once we focus in on one particular era or time, we miss the cultures, wars or events happening around the rest of the world, or in the rest of the age of man, etc., cause, to begin, you have humanity developing in Africa (i think its agreed that most humans started in Africa, and slowly evolved / branched out north/westward...) especially given the flood / coastal regions changing their shape... note: we're startin waaaay back now... and jumping ahead... That then leads to humans progressively moving west, but some return east, and back and forth, such that you get this larger spiral shape, smaller when we go back far enough, and it progressively spreads, such that you have Proto-Celtic / Scandanavian people cork screwing in, in what they call a corded ware culture(s) (among other more specific names) Which is just to say, i focus mostly on Ancient European places now, which is lesser known, compared to the middle east, which is well documented w/ artifacts for dating and such... I just like that mysterious Berber-Phoenician wave, and the subsequent A, B, C's Phone-a-bet, like the earliest mysteries of that .... Which i bring up to share something interesting that isnt "24-7 war..." And having to constantly think thats what its about. That would be terrifying. p.s., im also doin alot of language research, ive just taken a commercial break/hiatus, while... Although i feel its cool, its prolly not as important as communicating w/ real ppl to make sure that theres essential / real emotional content shared + passed down.
  5. Just so we all know the names of the eras in that range of periods, it is, considered as, roughly speaking, Late Antiquity — c. 3rd–7th/8th c. AD Migration Period — c. 375–568 AD (overlaps Late Antiquity) Early Medieval — c. 500/600–1000 AD Merovingian (Early Medieval, Frankish) — c. 481–751 AD Carolingian (Early Medieval) — c. 751–887 AD ... p.s. Carolingian minuscule was the standardized script developed under Charlemagne's reign (late 8th c.) Ottonian (Early Medieval) — c. 919–1024 AD High Medieval — c. 1000–1300 AD Romanesque (High Medieval) — c. 1000–1150 AD Gothic (High/Late Medieval) — c. 1150–1400 AD Scholastic (High/Late Medieval) — c. 1100–1400 AD Later or/Most-late Medieval — c. 1300–1500 AD Trecento (Late Medieval, Italy) — 1300s Renaissance — c. 1400–1600 AD Quattrocento — 1400s Cinquecento — 1500s Northern Renaissance — c. 1450–1580 AD .. et caetera.
  6. @NewKidOnTheBlock p.s. the name muhammed isnt unique to that bespoke late antiquity era, see also, Muhmed II "the Conqueror" — led the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, ending the Byzantine Empire. Muhmed IV — Ottoman sultan during the failed 1683 Siege of Vienna and the long Great Turkish War that followed. Muhammad bin Tughluq — 14th-century Delhi Sultanate ruler, constant wars across India. Muhammad Shah — Mughal emperor during Nadir Shah's invasion of India (1739) and the sack of Delhi. Muhammad Ali of Egypt — 19th-century Ottoman-Egyptian wars, including campaigns in Arabia, Sudan, Greece, and Syria (1820s–40s). Muhammad Ahmad ("the Mahdi") — led the Mahdist War against Anglo-Egyptian forces in Sudan (1881–99), including the famous Siege of Khartoum. Askia Muhammad I — Songhai Empire wars of expansion in West Africa (late 1400s–early 1500s). And thats just some from 1400 to 1900, theres even more.
  7. Yous have roughly three options, as far as how ppl are to see your stance on war, generally speaking, A) "Im illiterate, so i dont know that theres a real worry around war / and i didnt know the passive case was even an option, B) "I do treat war passively, because, they are their own persons, their own independent persons, who can make tough decisions whilst doing so on their own trip and w/ their own necessary judgements", C) "I think of war like 5-10 year olds do, like its a win / a triumphant scene of celebration qnd badassery... a perpetual win... and losing is not an option .. losing is only what happens in a fantasy realm" ~which i bring up, for if anyone were to lose, it wouldnt feel very good, and you might rethink said win v. loss conditions. It might actually change who you are as a person, like you might become a crazy person to others who dont yet understand what that feels like deep down. Communicating which person you are is the only way to get on the same page as your compatriots.
  8. That counts as late antiquity, atleast in Peter Brown's work. The details of what you were on about werent what i was interested in anyway, it was the larger sentiment on war (see also, other threadz, to understand it)
  9. (cont.) Just to propel this forward — My views on war / religion are very very simple. If yous are gonna take over the world, then take over the world w/ decisiveness, but dont stagger us in the process w/ sillyness. Get on the same page as your compatriots — And do so where no one really cares, cause its not like yous are being judged by a not-God, right? Its all God, right? or no? Does God go on vacations? Like .. If everyone believes its Gods will, you have nothing to fear except Gods will. Which is not my belief, it is what yous believe, presumably. I expect yous to be on the same page if yous are gonna talk about a one religion / one god, otherwise yous are acting silly again.
  10. Whichever people, or... Whoever is into Islam... ya'll gotta start refuting each other or bring awareness towards what yous are sayin (your stance on war, and islam, etc.), or start a thread on it (assuming you dont wanna use this 1, which i welcome yous to use) and do it with genuine interest/curiosity and refutation behind it (As far as positing and refuting the opposite side thats refuting the opposing sides stance), because ya'lls keep gettin me caught in the center of two totally, randomly different ideas, and its not making any sense, in the greater realm of war and Islam... Which, i already knew that was gonna happen, but yall dont even have a thread for this, actively conspiring... taking place... Feel free to yous this as a platform, but please refute the opposing side (not me) for im not into religions, and i know less than any would who actually reads there bible / religious testimonies. Im independent. Im a homeless blind man basically.
  11. (cont.) There is like a real disconnection happening right now. Like, i cant follow everyone if you all keep changing-it-up on me, cause im here thinkin wars are B.A.D., like BÆD Bad ... And then some else says "Badass". That's demonstrating staggeringly different attitudes towards the same subject matter.
  12. I just find the description odd, per the description of *badass, As on one hand people are so worried about the war over in Israel v pales., And on the other, we are saying how badass the wars of (...) are... p.s. im not sure which historic wars we are speaking to... ... i mean i could create a list, Like... Late Antiquity — to 1900s theres just too many, even still, its just confusing me, the ratio of badassery v. the ratio of real worry about todays wars in the middle east. Everyones gotta make up their mind, whether their sentiment on war is overall passive, or if it IS a real worry, cause now im seein alot less overall worry.
  13. (cont.) Yous just need to research the interplay of Analog and digital, so yous can see the golden mean of utility and then you can understand the mathematics
  14. Wrong. Ai is really slow, and that means its not essentially anything but a slower version of ~ in the sense that, you have to train it, you have to speak to it, etc., and even then, its not especially tuned to do what you want — if what you want is something specific... Consider that Analog *device computing doesnt require ANY digital / pulse code modulations, and THAT is frast, As that can do exactly what you want, without any in between. Dont confuse the thing itself w/ something else. If what you want is a digital camera, then build a godamn digital camera, not a fake ai version from a pre-trained algorithm. The utility of computers is all about speed, otherwise we wouldnt have to have calculators, or anything else, cause we would just do everything by hand, and in this age, everything is being stressed to the edge, as computers are being forced to have lots and lots of information rolling at a time, and that is not something that can be taken lightly. Information adds up, and you are staggering the operations per second w/ whatever is in view, in this digital camera analogy.
  15. I dont watch this guy, whats-his-name, for hes still young and upcoming. But its still relevant for discussion, especially to alot of these new ppl arriving. Good point. Yes. We associate ourselves w/ personality traits, and material things, ideas we have about ourselves, etc., Theres many things you can mean or invoke when speaking of emotion, not to mention, you can talk about emotions logically, giving rise to the mechanism of those emotions, which may make it appear as "logic underneath of it'. Your ability to make logical sense is however one part of a system, and emotions are there to serve that system, which you might assume is one logical system, but that is assuming its logical. Theres no reason to refer to everything as logical in that way. It cancels out the meaning of logic when you make such conflations, cause its no longer \*functioning to highlight that aspect of the underlying metamorphic system pointed to... The morphogene system is both a detailed, PLUS a broader layered system, and we can speak about it in language, using a more "descript / detailed" method, or we can be broad, And typically we like to speak in the broader layer ofspeech. For that reason, unless you have experienced that detailed layer in such a way, you dont want to take logic to be the catch-all... Like, it is revealing something to the audience about your level of awareness, which is to say then, emotions play just as much of a part as logic does, in the same way "perception" is a large part of "reality, experience". Or in other words, the function of "emotion" is just as important as the function of logic, and the way you portray that morphogenic system is just as important as the underlying *definition that governs it.
