This was an excellent video but Steven's post did not come through to me. 

I had to track the url down in the archives.

BTW - check out the cult (geek) movie: Primer

Jones,

Sorry you experienced technical difficulties retrieving my recent message
from the past.

RE: Primer. 

The trailers are intriguing. Sort of like Looper. I think I Netflixed it
years ago, but I'm not entirely sure anymore. I have two rationalizations I
can go with:

1. Sometimes there are advantages to losing one's memory.

2. Or... perhaps I just left this little past probability in a discarded
past timeline, and then it got merged. Must not have been the dominant
timeline. ;-)

Shoot! If I can't remember I might as well watch it again.

Done on a 7k budget:

FYI,

This was the post I was trying to get out since last night. As best as I can
tell I think Vortex may have not liked the original You Tube URL. I never
really noticed this before but apparent YT links are secured (https). When I
converted the original link over at tinyurl Vortex stopped having a snit
over it.

This is very odd. This seems like new Vortex behavior I've never run into
before. I've posted countless You tube links to Vortex before with no
problems.

Subject: [Vo]:Off Topic - You Tube Video - We are from the future

May you enjoy the following momentary distraction...

I was recently queued in to the following You Tube video. Maybe you'll
experience a few moments of enjoyment as I did innocently watching it. It's
called We are from the Future. Lots of pretty special effects. Granted, it
gets a little repetitious at times, but not enough to turn me off of it.

http://tinyurl.com/pbrzl6g

Some of the posted comments were amusing. Apparently some became deeply
disturbed by the generally positive subliminal messages and imagery the
creators of this video were trying to convey. Some felt a strong need to
warn others of what they felt was too much pseudo science and new age
mumbo-jumbo masquerading as an interpretation of reality that they adamantly
do not believe in, such as from a poster whose graphic handle depicts Jesus
flipping the bird at you.

Oh what the hey! Chill out dude! I just liked watching it. It wuz pretty!

Enjoy!

I'm happy you found your problem.  You may ignore my private email.
Eskimo.com has all new hardware and some new software and you likely
collided with a firewall of sorts.

But you missed the tree.

BTW, did you follow to the website? ( wearethefuture.com )  It
ultimately leads to upriser.com .  Looks like a site you would enjoy.

The discovery about superposition used by plants to increase
efficiency is a fairly recent one.  I think we spoke of it here.
http://goo.gl/Wx5ubB  Watching that reminded me of a link between
superposition and string theory that I stumbled across in my formative
years while under the influence of schedule x pharms.

I was trying to resolve in my own mind how it was possible for freedom
of choice and predestination to co-exist in reality.  It came to me
that there must be an infinite number of realities and when the cusp
of choice arrived we did the so popular quantum jump to that reality.
But another me, which I was not with at the time, stayed in his
reality.  This is a form of superposition.  And it ties in with what
Susskind describes in The Cosmic Landscape.  There must be 10^500
universes out there and we are simply riding the wave.

Hey, thanks for sharing.  Made my day.

Hi Terry, my old friend.

 

Yes, I did follow through to both web sites, the current one and the other
still under construction. It might be interesting to see what they
eventually post at the new cite. I assume they will post lots of far-off
stuff, some of it controversial. Maybe Jesus-flipping-the-bird will feel
compelled to add some more succulent critiques. ;-)

 

Regarding your thoughts on PD versus FOC:

 

Freedom of Choice versus PreDestination has been hotly debated for
centuries. I find it interesting that not only did science try to explain
the universe as nothing more than a big lumbering predictable machine,
certain religious philosophies have gotten into the act as well.

 

There exists a particular not well known contemporary religious-like
philosophy that I personally find appealing. The philosophy states that when
you are confronted with a major life-altering choice you really DO split
into two different parallel virtual realities. Both virtual realities will
then go on to experience what the consequences of the major choice you had
made from then on. What's different about this particular brand of
philosophy is that they claim not only do splits occur, merges happen
equally as often. I suspect certain kinds of psychic merges are experienced
as a distinct moment of disorientation as your psyche tries to sort out a
collection of confusing past memories. A dominant timeline needs to be
reconstructed out of the merging of two or more separate realities. Perhaps
a more benign merge is experienced as that weird feeling of deja vue. In
other words this particular philosophy perceives our individual experiences
of Virtual Reality as a form of an intricate braded rope where multiple
splits and merges are constantly intertwining with each other. When we
finally die, (when our psyches begin the recycling process) all of the
probable realities eventually merge back into one major core psyche for one
great big uber-massive life-review. So, you really do get to find out if
marrying Maggie versus Bernadette turned out to have been the better
choice... or not. ;-)

Whoa!  I never considered the merge.

But, my decision actually causing the split is a bit anthropocentric
and does not comply with string theory.  Yes, I did consider that in
the haze of the cactus button; but, I found a conflict with
predestination.  But, merge?

Thanks!
