It's obvious that communicating with aliens would likely be a disaster. Would you walk up to a polar bear and try to explain to it that you mean it no harm and would love to hang out and get to know it?

It could be the opposite though.

I've always found these points so fantastically interesting, especially considering they are parroted by so many very intelligent academics, physicists, AI experts, etc.

It sounds like the most crazy conspiracy theory idea on the surface, but then you have guys like this and Carl Sagan cautioning the same thing. It's interesting, and frightening.

Well Carl Sagan yeah he was a bit doom and gloom too, but he too was criticized for being a bit too dire.

My question is this: What happened in the last in the last six months for him to shave 900 years off our time on Earth? It seems a little rash.

Someone from DHARMA forgot to push the button.

Clever. Would've been a better ending.

I watched Unbreakable last night and when David was trying to hone his instinct power her bumped into a woman in her "sin" was beating her son.

Don't remember that particular one.

Lol. 100 years is 3-5 generations.

Whatever, it's still pretty fucking soon. Let's not bury the lead here.

Don't care. I'll be dead.

Damn, y'all are some cynical mugs.

Hell fucking no. Why would I watch a film that presumes I have a personal problem with black people, from how the title sounds? I mean, how would we like it in reverse, "Dear Black People," then we just keep going down the line and singling each other out by race which is a self defeating premise if this is what this movie is supposed to be about. But the title puts me off so fuck that.

"We gotta get out of this place. (“This place” being the Earth that we all know and love).

Stephen Hawking has come up with yet another doomsday prediction for humans, this time giving us just 100 years to skedaddle.

Professor Hawking’s apocalyptic predictions began in 2015, when he mentioned in a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session that super intelligent AI might wipe us all out. He’s also cautioned against contacting aliens that might not be as friendly as we think.

In November last year, he gave us about 1,000 years to leave Earth. Then in March of this year, he hinted that a one-world government might be the answer to our myriad problems.

Now the respected physicist is warning that humanity needs to become a multi-planetary species within the next century in order to avoid extinction.

My question is this: What happened in the last in the last six months for him to shave 900 years off our time on Earth? It seems a little…rash.

OK, so the U.S. has its first orange president and North Korea’s Great Haircut is looking a little dangerous, but 900 years less? All due respect, but that’s a massive reduction in our life expectancy.

Professor Hawking made the prediction in a new documentary called Expedition New Earth, which the BBC will air on June 15.

In the documentary, Hawking claims that we need to leave Earth because of problems such as climate change, asteroid strikes, epidemics and overpopulation. He also travels the world with his former student Christopher Galfard and engineering professor Danielle George to find out how we could live in outer space.

In recent months, Mars has been dominating headlines as the most likely candidate for colonisation. The Red Planet has a lot going for it, including ice deposits, useful elements, the potential for renewable energy projects, an atmosphere (albeit thin), kinda tolerable temperatures, decent day length and manageable gravity.

On the minus side, it’s still damn far away and pretty hostile compared to the cushy comforts of Good Old Earth. It’s one thing to talk about leaving, but actually doing it will be very difficult and incredibly dangerous. Getting all of us off Earth within 100 years? No way.

Excluding a sudden meteor strike, to which there is no defence (except Bruce Willis), wouldn’t it be easier to just take better care of this planet?"


Should we be scared now?

That's just strange to stop making skateboard games.

skate killed tony hawk franchise

Well why don't they make another skate game?

CEs_EFG posted...

there was a twist?

yea, that it was set in the same universe as Unbreakable.

and there's a fan theory that Kevin's (the side with the multiple personalities) dad died in the same train crash that Bruce Willis's character survived, meaning that Mr. Glass inadvertently set Split's events into motion.

Cool theory, didn't think of that. But yeah the twist was that this is the very long awaited sequel to Unbreakable, delivered as a silent bomb (in a good way). Samuel Jackson was once asked a few years ago about Unbreakable. He said it was supposed to be a trilogy and that he was still waiting for Shamylan to get back to him. So my jaw dropped when I realized it was back on at the ending of Split.

It is off that no one is making any, and that's where the money is for a game company...they'd be the only skate game in town. And all they have to do is make it as fun as the first couple of Tony Hawks. And so it puzzles me.

So just us two then I guess...

Only skateboard games I ever played were those California games on the NES, you know, the one where you could control a gorilla. There was skateboarding, surf, hacky sack and other beach related events.

I remember those very well.

Gamer99z posted...

Where the fuck is Skate 4 already?

See. Exactly. Why are there NO skating games around? I mean, this ain't like the eventual disinterest in peripheral harmony games like guitar hero.

i think the mainstream popularity of skateboarding ended in the mid 2000s, or at least it seems that way. kind of a late 90s/early 2000s thing

I always found those games boring tbqh

These.

No I think Skateboarding is still a pretty big thing. Just because the X Games ain't much of a thing no more don't mean nothin'.

I had the Unbreakable thing spoiled on CE and I'm still fucking pissed about it. I know I would have shat tons of bricks had I went in completely blind.

Yeah I know the feeling. I had The Sixth Sense spoiled for me back in the day. It's a freaking miracle I didn't know about this because I really enjoy Unbreakable. I heard it was supposed to be a trilogy but just let go. Then POW!

Did you like it? I thought it was awesome. And the end, when I started hearing the sound of the music to Unbreakable at the station, I knew!

Too much, we've never even met.

Tony Hawk is an old fart now.

Right...soo....now we need the game more than ever.

They literally just made a new one.

Ok, can you link me please?

darkprince45 posted...

It's called 5, no thanks

I mean it needs a reboot, not the sane half assed sequels.

They could totally just redo the first and second ones and merge them into one game.

At least a couple people here go out dancing.

Short answer, no.

I wanna say yes, but I feel like there's a downside I'm not seeing.

Have you ever read the book Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley?

Yeah but far enough in the past and there's like a 30% chance you'll just die during childbirth/infancy

Of course future earth could also be a nuclear wasteland so who knows

Have you ever contemplated the potential severe consequences of prolonged existence both personally and for mankind. Living longer or extra longer isn't always an appealing idea.

Jesus, it doesn't occur to most folks that the distant culture could be a terrible distopia? Future is not always synonymous with "good".

Thanks

2 million put into relatively safe investments can give you at least 120k a year in passive income (that's at 6% a year on average) with a high degree of reliability if anyone is wondering (if that's even allowed by TC?)

I actually was wondering something like this. Thanks.

Future. As a Black person, there's no way I'm going into the past, and I find the future to be more interesting, anyway.

You could be the first black person in China or Japan. They'll think you're a god something

Who said you'd be black...?

Depends if we get to choose where.

I'd choose past if it was like China, ancient Greece, or the Americas.

You get to loosely choose the era. Not the culture, but remember any culture would be unique.
