What do you guys think about Mayan Calendar confirming the so-called "end date" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mayan calendar doesn't paint it as the end of the world, just the end of an era. it's pretty much their version of Y2K (which, as you'll remember, was almost disappointingly uneventful. i remember waiting for the power to go out, and it didn't). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm terrified |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats what I hope for...I also remember y2k hehe what a joke you're right... |

i find my own reaction to these things more interesting than the events themselves. is my life boring? is that why i want some dramatic, flashy, system crash? i've often dreamed about how i'd survive if the world went fallout 3. i have a knack for building things; i'd definitely booby-trap the house. safety wouldn't be a concern... but i'm not sure how i'd live without dominos pizza |

I think we still have nearly 300 years to go |

The Y2K thing didn't happen because people were made aware of it in plenty of time. Some relativly minor things went wrong because of it. But we were ready! |

As long as the few thousand people who are convinced of the impending doom remain in a state of frightened inaction, nothing major related to the date will happen. If they start to live like the end of the world is coming up however, that might have some knock-on effects |

that phantom time hypothesis reeks of paranoid schizophrenia. i've always said: i have no absolute proof gravity will still work tomorrow, but i'm planning my day with the assumption that it will. |

It is interesting that there is very little evidence of the Dark Ages having happened at all. I have my own end of the world prophesy it will all come to an end on a Wednesday (you read it here first) |

You are planting seeds boy. Everybody here is too isolated from the real world, or too cynical for it to have any effect at all, but talk to a joe soap or two about that shit and you're asking for a self-fulfilling prophecy |

Now I'm thinking about it and all my electrons are going to align at my lowest chakra and shoot a sine wave in the shape of Ken Barlow's neck out of my urethra and flow out into the wider net of everybody elses energy and make them think about it and they're all going convene at one point to generate a 3000ft hologram of Ken Barlow who will then have to give us all a lecture at 20Hz on what we've been doing wrong all this time and why he has to peel us all individually one skin cell at a time until we're subdivided enough to reconnect with Gaia and set the Earth on a straighter course towards a healthier star |

figures you'd like tim & eric, haft. i bet you have blonde hair |

Nope. That sounds almost disdainful.... What's wrong with blonde hair or Tim and Eric? |
||||||||
|
|

Also you don't have to answer the Tim and Eric part, it's just rhetorical. They do have a lot of shite, and many people think that the only reason they have fans is because they're "absurdist" |

well dudes, people have been on this planet for a long ass time. they've seen some shit come, and they've seen some shit go. they figured out how to navigate by star charts. that had to take a while. the mayans were the probably the oldest most advanced civilization in history. they figured out all kinds a math shit. and how the fucking galaxy it self cycles. that's pretty cray cray for what eventually became a dead culture. the universe works on pretty simple fundamentals. +/-, push/pull, light/dark, the yin and yang. the bible, and other religious text were probably created just to explain that, in life, you have two choices of what you can do, good/bad. i'm sure, in the time humanity has spent advancing towards the modern era, many a mistake were made, and those texts were just their way of trying to pass on lessons learned. of course there are probably things that have happened to mankind in their journey on this giant floating rock, that back in the day could not be explained without the scientific knowledge we have now. so we get all those cracked out stories of angels, dragons, giants, gods, and shit like that. what's going on today, er... rather, what is coming up in the next few months/years, is going to be nothing we have heard/seen in recorded history. the half cycle of the mayan count in their calendar is 13,000 years. we can only trace our begining back relatively accurately, about 5,000 years. there have been discoveries of organized societies recently, that we have been able to date back at over 10,000 years old. unfortunately, scientists/researcher/archaeologists have not had enough to time to fully understand the truths these places have hidden within them. what i'm saying is, and what i'm sure, if you've done any digging yourself on the subject, is that there have been earth changing events that have disrupted and seriously crippled man's growth on this planet, every time this galactic alignment occurs. now, that's not to say that these same life altering events haven't had a |

... beneficial effect on the human race, evolution/darwinism/survival of the fittest, passing on stronger genes. but also, that bombardment of photons that spew out like a jacuzzi jet stream from the black hole at the center of the milky way, alter the code in our double helix of dna. so, with as big and complex as the powers that be, that have controlled the direction of civilized nations, has become, i feel it would be pretty safe to bet that there is hidden knowledge kept within those limited circles. i think they are fairly certain that there is definitely something big/bad to be feared on the way. and i think they know they will have no control over the forces that will emerge from this big question mark. they have plans. we do not. they might not escape. we might not suffer. but i do believe it is quite eerie, the shit that is going on in the world, more specifically, in nature. and what i believe is coming/happening is going to be purely scientific, along the lines of the earth sciences. like i mentioned earlier, because our knowledge of our past is so limited, we haven't recorded anything like this before. what is taking people over right now is the NORMALCY BIAS. just because we haven't evidence of a major deal like dec 21 2012 occuring in less than a 13,000 year period, when our best research only goes back 5,000 years, you don't think it's possible for anything to go wrong on a world wide scale like science is perdicting. what with the solar flares and earthquakes and strange sounds, and suicidal flocks of wild animals. it's too much of a coincidence that these things were prophesied, not just in revelation, but throughout the bible. that book, regardless of the fanatical followers, was just an update on esoteric lessons passed down, from many previous tribe/sect. and just like any technology, those with money, power, and influence, have tainted the words within to dis-inform and control whoever followed behind. if you step back and take a holistic look at your life on this planet, it |

... scary how tiny, small, and insignificant we all are. what happens will happen. all you can do is just live in the moment and enjoy all that is around you. we all die, nobody knows when or where or how. if life goes on as we know it, the only thing you have to be afraid of is your govt. that is all. it seems to me that most, if not all of you are pretty indifferent to the idea of this date bringing anything more than a new dawn. but as i have before, when i get wrapped up in deep emotional thoughts/feelings, i tend to gush on here. so i will say again, i love all you fools! if anything for any reason were to happen that we could never visit/access this message board again, i will miss you all terribly, and think about you all, probably when and if things take a hard left for the worst and we all have to deal with scary decisions. i hope you all make it safely about in your travels. and i hope someday we will be able to meet again, wherever our roads may cross, this plane or the next. til then... |

sorry i was not around for the ~3min window available to address your first post haft, before your second post excoriating me people dislike tim & eric because they are immature, derivative, piss-n-fart joke bottom-feeders. suitable their crowning moment was also the only good track flying lotus ever did. |

obviously tim and eric went waaaaayyyyy over your head. sarcasm epic, do you speak it??? they're mocking hollywood. it's cool tho. def not for everybody, and not everybody has to like the same ish. if that ain't your thang, then it's like, ya know, w/e. good day, sir. |

it's not a hip thing, i don't think. i'd say a majority of people hate it. i hated it at first. and actually, now that i think about it... i don't even know why i started liking it. anyways, it's kinda like how i felt about ren n stimpy when i was a kid. like, wtf is this fucking show even about? just an excuse for john kriflskakowski [sp?] to get high and draw? but i kept watching every week to see how they could possibly top the insanity from the last episode. and boy, did they always deliver! cheers! |

Yes, Tim and Eric are confused and sad men who like toilet humour. But some of the critique elements and the fucked-up elements of their stuff really makes me laugh hard. That and I have a very soft spot on the left of my skull for bad/low quality editing and filmography. And obtusely spelt names (Paul Willow = Pall Willeaux). Now, EVOL, unless you have come across a specific type of natural phenomenon for which there is some sort of evidence for its occurence at the end of this year, everything in your posts above is nothing other than mysticism. You actually said, in summary, that there are powers that be who have some arcane knowledge that was probably gathered by some older, more advanced civilisations who probably existed more than 10,000 years ago. The knowledge relates to some natural event, that is probably going to take place in December of this calendar year, that these ancients cleverly knew how to predict. Sadly it still managed to destroy all evidence their advanced civilisations... Agh I've actually run out of steam before I've even started as you're clearly in a stance you want to be in, and no talking or logic will come close to changing that. Just be aware that you're a member of a new religion |

Anyone who really thinks the world's end will accurately be predicted by anything other than science*, is smoking crack. Doomsday predictions with a specific date always end up looking stupid; they never come true on the nominated date. That's why the most successful long-running ones talk in vagaries that are open to interpretation (eg Book of Revelation). *...and I do mean a proper industry-majority of respectable, traditional scientists, not 2 hippies with PhDs in "Gaia Studies" calling themselves "Doctors" and claiming to be an authority of some kind or privvy to esoteric knowledge). |

Tim and Eric are fantastic. What is wrong with you people? Are you pretending to be cultured grown ups all of a sudden? If you aren't living a lie watch the Eric Andre Show too. |

I was lucky enough to catch a pint with Tim and Eric and one of their interns after their show here last year. In terms of meeting fans, Tim's a guarded squirrel and Eric's their PR manager, but after some chatting, and what I was guess was them realising I didn't want to disgorge their own humour back at them and make funniez like a lot of their loser fans, they opened up a little more. They're both pretty normal, lazy dudes who eat a lot of shite food and go to festivals etc. Tim's head is comfortably within the top 15 largest human heads I've ever seen |
