00:26.25Wormy_cookingHm, how to get maggots out of stewed damsons...
00:27.14Wormy_cookingI know there were maggots in them, they float to the surface of the juice that I am waking wine with
00:27.43MonetWhat about tweezers?
00:27.43Wormy_cookingI could try sivving but they will be hard to see
00:27.55MonetAnd a magnifying glass
00:28.04Wormy_cookingThere is a whole saucepan of the fruit
00:28.11Wormy_cookingall boiled up
00:28.58Wormy_cookingRight

00:32.41Tek0516Hello
00:33.31Wormy_cookingI honestly can't tell maggots from fruit.  I don't feel I'll notice when I eat the pie...
00:33.53Wormy_cookingGenerations have eaten fruit pies without searching for maggots
00:34.47Wormy_cookingIts all good protein
00:35.03Wormy_cookingThey and any baxteria should be dead anyway from heat and sugar
00:37.02MonetHachiman: Quoted.
00:37.58Wormy_cooking:O
00:38.06Wormy_cookingIts 1:39 AM?
00:38.18Wormy_cookingI've not even made the pastry yet
00:38.35Wormy_cookingOh howell, how is this worse than late night gaming?
00:41.44Wormy_cookingI could put the fruit in the fridge and wait till morning
00:42.19MonetAt least you're not getting eyestrain
00:46.11Wormy_cookingI'm too full still to go to bed
00:46.22Wormy_cookingI made a huge dinner
00:46.41Wormy_cookingRight, Another hour and half or so in the kitchen won't hurt

11:53.52Knight_AlienLooks good.

13:38.22dromI found a hot ginger chick in the bus today.
13:38.25OluapWorkerBoingy Bits -Gardin
13:38.50OluapWorkerjk don't add that hur
13:40.41Hachimandrom: >ginger
13:40.48HachimanHow can you be attracted to the soulless
13:40.59dromTheir hot shell ofc.
13:41.28WormyBoth NASA and Virgin Galactic shared this https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_881277059
13:41.42dromSpeaking of gingers. I think I'm a quater or half a ginger.
13:41.45Wormyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_881277059&feature=iv&src_vid=cUzFtWNOOOU&v=pTccWT2YOC8
13:42.08WormyI have some red hair in my beard
13:42.39dromBecause my hair appears orange-red in sunlight, I barely get tanned in few hours of sun exposeure.
13:43.12dromAnd ocean-blue irises. Ginger usually have green eyes. And ocean-blue is a mix between green and blue.
13:44.15dromAnd sometimes, my inner self, feels empty.
13:44.30dromMaybe it's because I have no soul, or a weak one.
13:46.30HachimanI dunno how old Kalcedia should be
13:46.37HachimanAs in, how long ago she was created
13:46.51OluapWorkerHm
13:47.02OluapWorkerI could possibly estimate her age
13:47.12Hachimanrite do dis
13:49.14AndroImpyHachiman: Age: Legal
13:49.27OluapWorkerUNOC was formed at 2786. If we say the current year is 2803, then that happened 17 years ago
13:49.34OluapWorkerSo she's at least 17
13:49.36Hachimanrite
13:49.50HachimanSo she's younger than Hachi
13:49.54HachimanGeezush
13:49.57dromchirst, why are almost all girl characters so young?
13:50.25OluapWorkerYou can add to that age if you want her to have been created before being UNOC-fied
13:51.01Hachimandrom: Kalcedia was "born" as an adult and she never had to bother with childhood due to her artificial heritage
13:51.13HachimanSo psychologically and physically she's not really "so young"
13:51.21HachimanJust chronologically
13:53.02OluapWorkerHow old would you say she is psychologically and physically?
13:53.24dromI see.
13:53.40HachimanI'd say an interim between 20s-30s
13:53.54HachimanSo quite mature and healthy
13:53.57OluapWorkerMakes sense
13:54.43OluapWorkerIt helped that UNOC's formation happened during the Borealis War
13:54.57HachimanI wonder if 3.7m is too tall, although she is a polymorph
13:55.27OluapWorkerI imagine that's unnaturally giant for a Zazane but yeah, polymorph hur
13:56.01HachimanWell consider that Tyraz stands at roughly 2m, which is tall for a human, and is considered a midget hur
13:56.18OluapWorkerI mean in Zazane standards
13:56.23OluapWorkerShe's almost twice the size of one
13:56.49HachimanHmm I could lower that but then she is related to Kol
13:56.50OluapWorkerbig gurls r hot
13:57.08Hachimanyeh alrite dats a gud reesun
13:57.09OluapWorkerI'm not saying you should, I'm just commenting hur
13:57.33HachimanShe's a polymorph anyway so it doesn't make much difference hur
13:58.06HachimanSo Kol, Sanguine, and Cattalix would be her family, wouldn't it?
13:58.14Hachiman*they
13:58.21OluapWorkerThem and that eyeless one Monet has
13:59.04HachimanI forgot what her name was hur
13:59.55OluapWorkerYidda I think
14:00.35HachimanAh yeah Yidda
14:03.45HachimanI'm torn whether Kalcedia is Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral
14:04.38OluapWorkerConsidering she's inclined to do good even if she's a bit selfish, I'd put her under Chaotic Good

15:01.56ImperiosHm, acutally, Iovera
15:02.42HachimanI mean Hachi's gonna be around 600,000 years in the future, that leaves a lot of space for people to comment on him hur
15:02.58ImperiosIovera could quote him... and speaking of history, I assume that they two could actually meet at one point to fend off a particularily large Mali'Nar plot

16:33.23dromCiao
16:34.09MonetDrom: Okay...
16:34.59dromCiao also means hello. If you don't know it already.
16:36.46MonetI know it's Italian for "bye"
16:36.51MasterMachineSup.
16:36.57HachimanCiao means bye
16:37.15MonetItalian Hello = Bonjourno
16:37.27MasterMachineAh, European languages...
16:37.28MasterMachine:P
16:41.46ImperiosMonet: It's "bonjorno" actually
16:42.08ImperiosI think
16:42.38Imperios...wait, no
16:42.40ImperiosIt's "buon giorno"
16:43.52MonetI got the pronounciation right
16:46.05ImperiosDitto
16:46.14ImperiosYeah you did
16:47.26MonetBack in primary school I had a few years of learning Italian
16:48.41MonetI still know a bit luckily.
16:49.55MonetSo its possible for me to say I knew how to speak Italian before Assassins Creed II.
16:53.12MasterMachinelol
16:53.16HachimanItalian seems like a cool language
16:53.34MasterMachineIt's the Language of Food :P
16:53.36HachimanEven if it does sound typical of most European languages in that it "borrows" from others
16:54.04MonetHachiman: It's because it's bastardised Latin
16:56.01MasterMachineThis is going to make everyone who's from Europe angry, but I can only determine like 3 languages in Europe: English, German/Russian, and Everything Else.
16:56.02MasterMachinelol
16:56.10MasterMachineJust the way they sound
16:56.17MasterMachineSo freakin similar -_-
16:56.35HachimanDoesn't make me angry because I only know English
16:56.41HachimanAlso
16:56.57Hachiman>Implying Russia is shoved in with the rest of Europe
16:57.15MasterMachineNo no
16:57.22MasterMachineI mean how Russian sounds similar to German
16:57.23dromthe word "vodka" is shared anyway
16:57.28MasterMachine(to a murikan)
16:57.34drombodka = vodka

16:57.54Vincent20100Mmm...
16:57.55Vincent20100Vodka...
16:57.57MonetItalian, French and Spanish are sort-of similar to each other because of their roots.
16:58.02Vincent20100is suddenly thirsty.
16:58.19MasterMachineThere's like the throaty sounds of russian/german, the sort of musical/vowely sounds of most other languages, and then English

17:11.37Technobliteratorit is
17:11.42Technobliteratorif you make it collapse in on itself
17:11.52Technobliteratorpretty sure it's inefficient though
17:12.34HachimanWhat would be a more efficient means of creating a black hole?
17:12.55MonetMonopoles.

17:14.45MonetMonopoles are heavy enough and their arrangements dense enough that a chain of monopoles that match in proportions and number of atoms to a single protein chain can be the size of an atom and weigh as much as an entire cell.
17:14.49MonetHi
17:15.37MonetI think such microscopic black holes are described in fluff as one of the high-end means of artificia lgravity.

17:19.51Wormy.hi
17:20.22MonetThere may be others but they either don't work so well with Fictionverse physics or they're explicitly godtech.
17:21.15MonetI'd say that theoretically its a fallacy that only stars are massive enough to form black holes.
17:21.28dromEpisode 2 and 4 have to be my favorites so far.
17:21.47Hachimanhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:189344 Somebody sort this out
17:22.26MonetFor one by compressing the sun into a black hole you get a 3km wide black hole...which might not be very useful for a starship.
17:23.33ImperiosHachiman: "[20:53] <Hachiman> Even if it does sound typical of most European languages in that it "borrows" from others" Borrows, as in?
17:24.25HachimanAs it uses similar words to other European languages
17:24.39ImperiosThat's because they are related hur
17:25.07XhoI'm not sure whether Nu is still alive at that point
17:25.16XhoIf he is he's surviving as an artificial intelligence
17:25.29ImperiosWell actually it's mostly the Romance languages that are Latin-heavy, for obvious reasons
17:25.50ImperiosRussian is quite different for example, and so is German if I am not mistaken
17:27.01HachimanWell considering it's 600,000 years in the future that leaves a lot of room for people to comment, he is gonna become a demigod/god before everyone is dead you know hur

17:45.08dromAccents man.
17:45.11dromAccents.
17:45.52Imperios...Admittedly, Russian-accented English sounds a bit like German
17:46.53dromI wonder how Swedish accents sounds like for Amercians and English.
17:48.49MonetUsually the impresion is "Sveedish ooften soonds like dis" or something
17:49.16MonetThank you Muppets for ingraining that on us all in UKSA.
17:50.01ImperiosI think it's... not sure really
17:50.37ImperiosI was in Sweden but I don't think I talked to Swedes much, that was quite a while ago AND I was mostly talking to immigrants
17:51.11ImperiosMy mom's relatives were immigrants so naturally I talked mostly to Arabs, Armenians etc
17:51.32ImperiosStrangely, they weren't really that bad; quite nice, in fact :P
17:52.07ImperiosI remembering meeting the Arab (or maybe just Muslim) girl called "Shahida"
17:52.16ImperiosI said that's a beautiful name hur
17:52.31dromAye. Immigrants have got nice names.
17:53.01dromMy math teacher was named "Maha" and we often related her with "Mahahaha"
17:53.12ImperiosWhere is she from?

17:54.43ImperiosLebanon
17:54.44Imperiosrite
17:55.07ImperiosWait, about "Shahida"
17:55.18ImperiosIs the word "Shahid" used in English for any purposes?
17:55.48dromI often mistake Lebanon as a canadian state. Much due to the pine-like tree in middle of the flag. And colors.
17:56.16Imperioshttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Flag_of_Lebanon.svg/750px-Flag_of_Lebanon.svg.png Eh-lah eh-kbar!
17:56.23Imperios...I am a horrible, horrible person.
17:58.25dromThat's not the snackbar flag, you dumbo
17:58.41HachimanNo, we don't use "Shahid" for anything
17:59.02Hachiman"Shahid" isn't a word in our English
17:59.55dromWhy do I see that name as "Jihad"?
18:00.05dromI must be a really terrible person.
18:00.15ImperiosAh
18:00.22ImperiosIn Russian "shahid" is pretty much synonymous to "suicide bomber"
18:00.31Imperios...Which is why I said the name "Shahida" was beautiful
18:01.04dromDenying the dark truth?
18:01.40ImperiosWell "shahid" means "martyr" in Arabic
18:02.03dromThat's creepy.
18:02.06ImperiosAnd as that's what Islamic terrorists want to portrays themselves as, the word stuck, at least in Russia
18:03.20dromI doubt if there's more immigrant names that has a very close relation to other words when literaly seen in the Swedish language.

18:16.59XhoI do wonder what Kithworto is like in 600,000 years in the future
18:17.05XhoWell there's three routes
18:17.17OluapWorkerCute kitten, cute puppy, cute chick
18:17.41XhoKithworto is still existent as a Kicath, succumbing to his nature as a Xi'Arazulha or ascending to a Vi'Navitum state
18:18.18WormyYes please Imperios
18:18.28XhoHe wouldn't exactly be like the archetypal Xi'Arazulha, more like a bent view thinking that the universe is safer under his (albeit intense) control
18:18.29WormyI've been to this a few times http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Tomb_of_Little_John_14-04-06.jpg

18:19.19XhoWell he's pretty much one now
18:19.21Imperioshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9lV48c7vYw The Varangians (that one I especially like because it's about the Viking founders of Russia)
18:19.28XhoSo either remains a hybrid or swings completely one way or the other
18:19.46WormyIts good Imperios
18:20.00XhoConsidering he came into existence and has remained longer a Xi'Arazulha he's more likely to shift that way but it would take a lot for him to insane
18:20.09Imperioshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJR7DbkZHNY&list=UU87ZzP3z2vlmj70FJFVfocA Also here's some Celtic music

18:20.37MonetXho: Sounds like he might question the Star Dragons
18:21.00ImperiosAlso, remember that Black Temple music you liked?
18:21.06Wormyyes
18:21.11WormyI like Varangians
18:21.15XhoI think there's a lot he'd question by the time his current incarnation is 600,000 years old
18:21.47WormyImperios:  Greensleeves with a celtic flute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni8xvFP6boA
18:22.32XhoI'd imagine being more or less the only Essential individual to exist among the universe as both a good and evil incarnation for 1.2 million years by that point
18:22.52XhoDoes make me wonder whether Kithworto even feels the span of time as mortals do
18:22.55ImperiosWormy: Blizzard is going to make a WoW expansion where they will reintroduce Black Temple so they remade that music
18:22.56Imperios<PROTECTED>
18:23.32WormyI still think it makes a good Grox theme
18:24.16ImperiosWell that particular remake isn't a very good Grox theme, it's too peaceful
18:24.25Wormytrue
18:24.53WormyI meant, I'd still lsten to Black Temple if writing about the Grox
18:25.19ImperiosBasically (I will try to explain WoW lore to you) the Black Temple was once home to a religious magitek race but then it eventually it was seized by a demon warlord
18:25.57MonetXho: The Star Dragons' desire is to uplift as many "primitive" civilisations as they can and see themselves as guardians of life and exemplars of civilisation.
18:26.04WormyIts the "fallen" vibed in BT that goes so well I think
18:26.14ImperiosHowever the next expansion will show that place back when it wasn't demonic, hence the more peaceful theme
18:26.23XhoMonet: The Vi'Navitum probably wouldn't like that very much
18:26.29MonetBy 600KAD they've gone as far as to isolate Segmentum Draco fro mthe rest of the universe
18:26.46XhoKithworto - r u bluds dum
18:27.08MonetStar Dragons - 2 much ignorance in this reality
18:27.50WormyImperios:  Have you listed to Wardruna?
18:27.59ImperiosNo

18:29.32Wormythat threw stuff across the room
18:29.32XhoThe Vi'Navitum are more inclined to let reality take its course so interfering with the universe' natural order is going to tick them off
18:29.39ImperiosMonet should listen to that too

18:30.14ImperiosWormy: Thank God I live on former Finnish land hur
18:30.28Wormylol

18:31.07dromImperios does the locals say "perkele"?
18:31.17MonetDragons - But civilisation is order!
18:31.27Imperiosdrom: Emphasis on *former*
18:31.31WormyDerbyshire had viking history, it was the site where the Viking Berserker at Stanford Bridge he;d off the Saxons until one went on a barrel underneath and skewered him
18:31.54Wormy*Stamford
18:31.58dromImperios: I know right, but I wondered if the culture still stay alive.
18:32.27WormyActually, no that was Yorkshire
18:32.40WormyThe two counties have rivers na\med the same
18:33.12Imperiosdrom: Nah, there were few Finns living there anyway and most of them are gone; besides, Saint-Petersburg was essentially built from scratch
18:33.43ImperiosSaint-Petersburg's culture is pretty much Russian, but more European and sophisticated
18:34.21ImperiosHence the Italian architecture, the German name and the British weather
18:34.28dromI see.
18:34.57dromThat's why it's the most friendly place of Russia hur
18:35.23ImperiosNot sure if most friendly, but probably most tolerant
18:35.52ImperiosOne teenage guy from camp was outright *shocked* by the fact that we do not mind gay people here
18:36.51WormySpeaking of weather, its like an Indian Summer where I live
18:37.01ImperiosIndian summer?
18:37.24dromBoiling hot days
18:37.26WormyI love the golden light, since the leaves are starting to turn and all the grass is yellow.  Its a weird feeling
18:37.31dromAnd then comes the day-long rains
18:37.38ImperiosIs that the English version of our "woman summer"? (as in, warm autumn)
18:38.01WormyIndian summer is like summer weather in September and October.  Its used to be rare but now its more common I think
18:38.55XhoI dunno why we say Indian summer when an Indian summer here constitutes as anything higher than 21 C
18:39.01XhoSummers in India go up t like 45 C
18:39.03Xho*to
18:39.13ImperiosAs I said
18:39.22ImperiosWe call it "Women's Summer" in Russia
18:39.25ImperiosTry to explain that
18:39.39WormyIt might be a reference to the days of Empire, either to Native Americans or Indians
18:40.16WormyMaybe people returning from Colonial India called an autumn heat wave "Indian" as a reminder
18:41.22dromfuck it, I'm going to watch Kill la Kill again.
18:42.44WormyHm, it can't be an Indian Summer, its just Summer
18:42.57WormySince an Indian Summer must occur after frost settles
18:44.03XhoLet's just say it's too warm for September
18:44.28WormyImperios:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GRLRm9oKUM

20:25.16OluapWorkerI could try and make a quote for Kamik but not now, I'm busy with work
20:25.23HachimanI'll try and come up with one
20:25.25XhoI wonder whether there's a term to describe Chaos completely reduced to its origin
20:25.33OluapWorkerYeah you're better at this than me hur
20:25.45OluapWorker"Santorakh's Night Club"
20:25.59XhoSantorakh - population: cheese
20:26.27OluapWorkerXhodocto were cheese all along
20:28.08XhoNihilist's Cradle I'll give as a name
20:28.20XhoBasically Nihilist's Cradle is the state of existence of where absolutely nothing exists
20:28.58OluapWorkerSantorakh - no cheese there                                horrid place
20:29.40XhoSo basically the complete absence of reality, dimension, maths, logic, literally everything
20:30.54OluapWorkerThat's where Santorakh keeps Volim when he refuses to eat his food
20:31.24XhoIf it was actually possible for Santorakh to do that
20:31.42XhoAnything relating to Nihilist's Crade is actually impossible for the Xhodocto to do
20:32.00OluapWorkerSo they have no power over it?
20:32.21XhoWell, Nihilist's Cradle is the state of existence *before* Chaos
20:32.34XhoChaos is the state of existence of everything and nothing at once
20:32.46XhoNihilist's Cradle is the complete and utter lack of existence
20:33.32OluapWorker2deep
20:33.36OluapWorkerWhat's the purpose of this?
20:33.36XhoThe Xhodocto come from this state of existence but as Wormy said not even they truly understand it
20:33.55Hachiman"In times such as ours, there is much dispute as to whether fundamental opposites exist. Love and hate. Black and white. Matter and antimatter. ... But. Opposites, counterparts, equivalents, none of it applies to the '''truth'''. The same truth we seek to deny ourselves so that we can sleep comfortably. Opposition is not fundamental, not everything has an equal aspect. [cont]
20:33.57Hachiman"Sometimes, just sometimes, there is unequaled power. Sometimes, there is no equivalent exchange. At the base of it all - the root, you could say - everything is defied. Everything you know about; love, hate, matter, antimatter, black and white, emotions, colours, life, DEATH, ALL OF IT! ... All of it breaks down. At the start, and in the end... there's only the truth. '''Chaos'''."
20:34.17XhoFor them to understand that state of existence they wouldn't be able to exist in the first place
20:34.51Xhodis gud quote well dun
20:35.29XhoIn a way, Kamik'Shi represents the concept of the Xhodocto that the Xhodocto rarely ever explain themselves
20:35.47XhoWhich is that incomprehensibly dark and complex part of them
20:36.25HachimanKamik'Shi - u dunt understand me universe, its nawt a phase
20:36.27XhoThe Xhodocto as we know them in a way are just shadows on the wall, what actually casts the shadows is something a lot more unknown than that
20:36.32OluapWorkerhur
20:37.36XhoI'd ought to actually give a more generalised term to that concept rather than Kamik'Shi since Kamik'Shi means a few different things
20:38.06OluapWorkerThis reminds me of something we need to do for the Fog War
20:38.16OluapWorkerThe section where the Corruptus align themselves to the Xhodocto

20:50.07XhoNot as absolutely as this does
20:50.45XhoFor once in the entirety of trying to explain what the Xhodocto are, I've actually hit the roof on what I can explain

20:51.35MonetI'd say that's a good sign.
20:51.46XhoWormy_cooking: I've hit the absolute mental and metaphysical roof of all nihilistic explanation
20:51.55Wormy_cookingThe flavour fugue continues
20:52.05Wormy_cookingOh?  My interest is pqued?
20:52.10MonetYou've always wanted ot make the Xhodocto something that was beyond explaination.
20:52.10OluapWorkerCooking until 2AM again
20:52.29Wormy_cookingNope, only at 22:00 and it won't take me long
20:52.41XhoYou know we were talking about the idea that the Xhodocto cannot understand the truth of Chaos while they themselves exist
20:52.50Wormy_cookingYeah?
20:53.08XhoWell I came up with this theoretical concept of absolute and complete nothingness, without the Xhodocto
20:53.22Wormy_cookingHow does that work?
20:53.43XhoWell, it can't happen by any account
20:54.17XhoIt evolves into the idea that the Xhodocto are the only thing to have come from this absolute and complete nothingness and therefore have identity and simultaneously the whole concept of Chaos comes in
20:54.32XhoThough the Xhodocto in that sense are shadows on the wall from this complete nothingness
20:54.41XhoWhat I can't describe is what casts this shadow
20:55.00XhoKamik'Shi is technically the concept but I can't give a definition of Kamik'Shi
20:55.43Wormy_cookingSounds like Monadology
20:56.30Wormy_cookingOne becomes two, but two does not xist without a one
20:56.35TechnobliteratorI think I'll reopen the space exploration discussion when people are more chill and more available for it
20:56.51Technobliteratorotherwise, someone else can do it
20:56.54XhoAnd what if one doesn't exist?
20:57.31Technobliteratorthen two is never conceptualized to begin with and thus obsolete :o
20:57.38Wormy_cookingWell, what if something and nothing are really the same?  Physics comes to that conclusion sometimes
20:57.54XhoWell disregard physics entirely at this stage
20:58.15Wormy_cookingThat would be solipsism
20:58.32XhoThe whole metaphysical concept behind Chaos and all existence being a dream of the Xhodocto, and then what exactly is the identity of this dreamer
20:58.46XhoIf the Xhodocto are just representations of the dreamer
21:00.07Wormy_cookingNow it sounds like the Mind-Body problem - where is the connection between mental and physical, in my opinion there isn't a duality
21:00.20Wormy_cookingthe duality is our common sense perception
21:00.26XhoWell, we're human
21:00.33XhoThe Xhodocto are the Xhodocto
21:00.39Wormy_cookingbut common sense is in-adequate to deal with reality
21:00.44XhoWe're talking about something that the Xhodocto don't even understand
21:00.58Technobliteratoroooh solipsism
21:01.17XhoIt's like saying that God is actually a shadow cast by something greater-than-God
21:01.32XhoThough the shadow and God are one of the same being
21:01.56XhoI mean the shadow and the thing that casts it
21:02.28Wormy_cookingWhat I'm saying is Xho, is asking whether there is a duality or not.  Just because the Xhodocto perceive a duality, doesn't mean it is so
21:03.07MonetSame way its easy to call the Xhodocto evil
21:03.36MonetThey're evil in the same way nature to the classical-era man is evil really.
21:04.05XhoI don't see the Xhodocto perceiving duality in a general sense
21:04.25XhoWhilst they recognise that there's order among nothingness they see the order is from such nothingness
21:05.44HachimanSo order is a shadow cast by Chaos/Xhodocto which in turn are a shadow themselves
21:05.52XhoYes

21:06.48Wormy_cookingReminds me of inconsistency on logic.  As soon as logic argues with itself, it collapses into the cavern of inconsistency.  There can be no metalogic to solve an inconstent problem, because that would require a meta meta logic, ad infinitum
21:06.52XhoPerhaps I just can't explain something anything behind the Xhodocto
21:06.55Knight_DinningHi
21:07.29Wormy_cookingSimilarly, the Xhodocto meaning escapes any system they can be put in
21:08.49XhoIt's something I can't explain that's for sure
21:09.21XhoChaos is "alpha, omega, infinity and zero all at once in collision" but what do you describe when all of those things are taken away including the substance of Chaos itself
21:09.31dromThis Nui thing really annoys me
21:09.43Wormy_cookingThis explains what I said earlier better about nothing and something being the same http://nautil.us/issue/16/nothingness/the-bridge-from-nowhere

21:13.33Wormy_cookingaye
21:13.44MonetHachiman: Its him that's the problem yeah.
21:13.49Wormy_cookinglike Zen or Incompleteness
21:13.50MonetCut Clegg some slack.
21:14.24MonetAlthough I have little opinion of Ed Miliband.
21:14.27XhoI called the concept of this state of complete nothingness 'Nihilist's Cradle' though it's instantly acknowledged as something impossible since the Xhodocto already exist
21:15.11dromI think I'm set on that Naakji will have international corporations.
21:15.37XhoWith the Xhodocto comes Chaos and with Chaos comes defiance of metaphysics and then with that comes the adherence of all logic and exo-omniversal infrastructures that such things like string theory would adhere to
21:16.13Wormy_cookingThis is a cognitive dissonance or contradiction I guess,  The Western philosophers reject contradiction, the Eastern ones embrace them by "unasking", I suppose its up to you to choose a path when writing about them
21:16.22MonetI'm not sure how well capitalism and a policy of neutrality mix.
21:16.30XhoThis is beyond difficult
21:16.47dromMonet: Those are only for external trading.
21:16.49XhoNihilist's Cradle is this impossible thing that something has existed or originated from
21:17.27TechnobliteratorXho, is it Legion of the Deathmarch or Dominion of the Xhodocto you'd rather refer to them as now? :o
21:17.34Wormy_cookingIt might help id you reject some of these constraining ideas out right.  Its only your guess that chaos > Metaphysics > physics.  But in my view, these things can't be reduced or distilled in a hierachy, it doesn't work
21:17.38XhoDominion...for the past god-knows-how-long
21:17.55Technobliteratorit says both in the navbox title
21:18.00Technobliteratorit should probably only say one?
21:18.15Monetdrom: International branches must be combined with some degree of diplomacy. In most nations international firms must have their branches pay local tax and get trading permits.
21:18.22XhoYes
21:18.26XhoWell Chaos in itself is not a constrained idea as we know
21:18.34XhoSince the way it's been described
21:19.07dromMonet: Aye. That's why they will start from their own homeland.
21:19.21Wormy_cookingFor example, logic is not above physics, quite the opposite, quantum physics defies classical logic.  However, science, philosophy etc cannot be seperated and exist as related domains that aren't reducible
21:19.43Monetdrom: Okay so they will start by selling internationally then working their way into setting up international branches?
21:19.56Wormy_cookingFor example, epistemology can apply to aesthetics as much as the scientific mehod
21:20.28dromMonet: The purpose of the corporation is to create a font and increase the service availability.
21:21.10Wormy_cookingtest
21:21.10Monetdrom: If you want to expand the Naakji's sphere of economic influence might I suggest they consider joining this? http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Fiction%3AGigaquadrantic_Intergalactic_Trade_Organization
21:21.31Wormy_cookingAnyway, I just continue with melodies and fugues of flavour
21:21.34Monetif not, well, there's always trying to compete with GITO business.
21:21.43dromI'll consider.
21:22.06Wormy_composingI think I'm more of a composer than a cook in that respect
21:22.23dromGITO stronger. Or face a new "enemy". Or stay out and be available for all, no matter what.
21:22.35XhoWell basically speaking Chaos is a complete smack in the face to metaphysics/physics whatever since its a nihilistic take on it
21:23.00Technobliteratorhttp://spore.wikia.com/wiki/User:Technobliterator/Navbox/Xhodbox
21:23.05Monetdrom: "face a new "enemy""? You mean the DCP?
21:23.15XhoPerhaps even that basis of Chaos can't be explained let alone something that Chaos comes from
21:23.17TechnobliteratorI'm considering moving this to Fiction:Dominion of the Xhodocto/Nav
21:23.19Technobliteratoranyone oppose?
21:23.33XhoMe
21:23.37Technobliteratorok
21:23.39Technobliteratorwhy?
21:23.52XhoBecause I don't want to exist as a subpage to a fiction page
21:23.55XhoDoesn't sound right in my head
21:24.06XhoEspecially as a navbox template
21:24.11Technobliteratorwell, it doesn't really make a difference :o
21:24.21XhoI know but still
21:24.23dromMonet: I was exaggerating. But more or less, a competitor. Or worse if possible.
21:24.29Technobliteratorbut I get what you mean
21:24.49Technobliteratorwe don't tend to do that, we either throw them in userspace or someplace random
21:24.57XhoWormy_composing: I think Chaos is a complete denial and manipulation of what we know, explaining that in itself is somewhat irrational and impossible
21:25.17Monetdrom: Problem is GITO kind-of dominates the economic scene in Andromeda, the MW, the Quadrants free-trade zone and Bunsen
21:25.30XhoTrying to explain something existentially less than Chaos itself is an even more impossible task
21:25.46dromMonet: True, but not every products are the same.
21:26.11MonetI think you're missing something
21:26.51MonetThere are probably hundreds of corproations in GITO already, each one of -them- selling competing products.
21:27.53XhoThe fact that like we said, Chaos is all and nothing at once in collision and an infinite divergence and convergence of all possibility, taking away all of those already theoretical components just creates existential impossibility rather than nothingness
21:28.18MonetSo even if not every product is the same, you still get a broad variety when you trade with GITO affiliates.
21:29.19XhoThen again trying to explain something that even the Xhodocto view as impossible is already a failed task
21:29.32dromI see.
21:30.16XhoI think the fact we were trying to relate it to already established philosophical theories tended to invalidate the idea since existential philosophy seems to be based all upon something rather than nothing
21:30.22Monetdrom: Capitalism can be a real bastard entity soemtimes.
21:30.30MonetIts often a case of wh oyou know too.
21:30.44Monetwho you know*
21:31.06XhoTrying to explain absolute nothing with an absolute something is impossible
21:31.52XhoIn a way it's a completely unaffiliated concept with existentialism as a result since it's a complete denial of existentialism in any form
21:32.14dromThe anarchic ideology is ultimateiy conflicting the idea of money and capitalism. So it's also a bastard to find a way and setup an international affair in economics.
21:33.06MonetEVE Online is probably the closest i've experienced to the real corproate world.
21:33.43XhoSo, conclusively, the idea of Nihilist's Cradle cannot be explained
21:34.52dromToo bad that it's ideology on ships' lifetimes being a terrible concept imo.
21:35.31Monetdrom: For who?
21:35.53dromThose who have to grind to get better ships.
21:36.01dromAnd risk their lives.
21:36.48dromThe concept is realistic. But it just pisses on the bonfires lit by people who worked hard on the progress.
21:37.25MonetLife isn't fair.
21:37.59MonetIs that why the Naakji went though a period of buying other ships' designs?
21:38.11dromThat, and the monthly fees scares me away from playing that MMO game.
21:38.33MonetOh wait you moved to talking about EVE
21:38.59dromYeah.
21:39.22MonetIts countered by those who can earn good money fast.
21:39.39MonetOnce you've built up your income infrastructure, just buy a new ship
21:39.50dromIt still promotes grinding for me.
21:41.02MonetI'm not normalyl of this attitude but...that definitely isn't the EVE mindset.
21:41.52dromThe game is amazing, has many great concepts. But there's downsides that removes my taste and interest to play it.
21:42.40MonetDon't worry, the phrase "EVE is my favourite game that I don't play" is common.
21:43.29dromI'm kinda more of the "get the job done - get an steady income - manage it - relax and do the managing" person
21:44.16dromTypicaly corporate owners. You know.
21:44.36MonetNot getting your hands dirty?
21:44.48MonetWell there's always "buy low sell high"
21:45.15dromAlmost the cookie clicker ideology.
21:45.23MonetI know of some people who buy goods cheap in the frontier then ship it to sell for a mint in exchnage hubs like Jita.
21:45.29dromDo the dirty work, get some assistance, then let the others do the rest
21:45.46MonetYou might like Planetary Interaction.
21:46.56drommanagement, but I don't really like to dive in complex management
21:47.19MonetFind planet -> set up industry chain -> leave to run for a day -> pick up products -> sell in Jita
21:48.03dromFor an instance, I usually main Venice in CIV5. Because the low upkeep threshold.
21:48.38dromI mean, the celling.
21:49.34MonetSo you are the "buy everything" type
21:49.54dromHustler/collector type too.
21:49.58MonetTheoretically EVE is supposed to be as open to opportunity as possible.
21:50.23MonetSo one can become a manager or a trade mogul
21:50.43HachimanI'm gonna watch Robbaz' "Project Asgard" KSP videos
21:50.51dromSo even the income can cover the fees?
21:50.51HachimanI should really make a Nordic-inspired race hur
21:53.04Monetdrom: You mean subscription fees?
21:53.19dromYup.
21:53.35MonetYeah, but people like that we're not talking carebears.
21:53.53XhoOh god I'm looking at this price list for this guitar manufacturer
21:54.01XhoTheir most expensive bass guitar is $11,700
21:56.25MonetDrom: SOme people TRADE game time cards
21:56.46dromI know.
21:57.05MonetAlthough its like drug-running: Immensely lucrative but dangerous to the point of insanity.
21:57.15MonetAnd its always across boarders

22:09.01MonetStarting off big puts you potentially in competition with corporations in the Orion League, NTZU and the AGC.

22:12.24MonetRight now...you're a small-ish fish in a positively gigantic pond.
22:12.26dromYeah. I understood but I tried to add a more fact that the corporates are though to be de-facto government-controlled.

22:15.25MonetOr you could do what Japan does: Take concepts from other countries, give then the Naakji spin then sell them back as "exotic" and "foreign" based on the Naakji's defensive nature.

22:15.33DrodoEmpireHey, evevrybody

22:16.52MonetSo the Japan-attraction angle might nto work because it will come off as "yet another foreign culture to buy from"
22:17.01TekDroidDrodoEmpire: Either this is going horribly right or Ming are OP as hell. O.o
22:17.07dromlol, it's kind of a cheap move. But it adds more variety to the pool. I consider them builidng everything from scratch based on the concept with the help of the best available experience and knowledge.
22:17.15DrodoEmpireTek: Uh oh.
22:17.18DrodoEmpireWhat's happening?
22:17.40DrodoEmpireI can tell you for a fact, however that Ming have been nerfed into the ground since the game's release. XD
22:17.51DrodoEmpireWhich sort of makes it more historically accurate, too.

22:18.29dromAah.
22:18.51MonetDrodoEmpire: China - *bans the expansion to EUIV*
22:18.57DrodoEmpirehur
22:19.09dromTechnobliterator: 24th October
22:19.11TekDroidDay 1 I released everything, and since then I've gone bankrupt 3 times; insulted, embargoed and DoW on just about everyone I could, disbanded all my units, and I'm still winning all four wars.
22:19.12DrodoEmpireWell it is illegal in China because it shows Tibet as... Well,
22:19.14DrodoEmpireExisting.
22:19.16DrodoEmpireXD
22:19.16Technobliterator24th? :o
22:19.23Technobliteratorso it's pretty close to my birthday then
22:19.26dromHur
22:19.29Technobliteratorwell, I can ask for that as a present afterall
22:19.33Technobliteratoris excited as fuuuuck
22:19.41dromThat's what the official Fraxis' website says about it.
22:19.44MonetUnfortunately I won't be able to play it until the Christmas break.
22:19.48DrodoEmpireEven if a really small state thats almost always swallowed up by either Steppe hordes, Ming, or some obscure Indian kingdom
22:20.01TekDroidI've done everything I could to destroy the Ming and it still lives. >.<
22:20.04dromNeither me, but I might have some chances though to play it.
22:20.08DrodoEmpireTek: Wat
22:20.08DrodoEmpireXD
22:20.45DrodoEmpireWell their armies suck, because most of the time they're at half morale but they have a shitton of provinces and bottomless manpower which means they can barely hold off determined invaders
22:20.47TekDroidI've been broken by peasant rebels about half a dozen times.
22:21.08TekDroidHOW AM I NOT DEAD YET.
22:21.08dromIt looks like that October will be my wallet's worth month ever.
22:21.12dromworst*
22:21.23dromGTA V and CIV:BE
22:21.33TekDroidI lost MoH a decade and a half ago.
22:21.52dromAnd a countless bunch of more games.
22:22.31TekDroidI can't even release my vassals due to no prestige.

22:40.04MonetSo even disregarding the fact that meing Alien likely makes their computer architecture alien, their computers would be pretty alien to us

23:12.47WormyMakes sense
23:15.08WormyMoore's Law is by no means a law anyway, but a discussion of mostly parochial limitations (engineering), its limits aren't ultimate like the Bekenstein Bound.
23:15.13Monetransistors can only get so small.
23:15.26MonetTransistors*
23:16.34WormyThey will have to be replaced
23:17.14MonetMAybe more closely mimicking an animal brain?
23:20.23WormyI've consumed so much chilli I can feel it in my blood literally
23:20.31MonetIt is interesting how a fly brain matches in size to a silicon microchip, yet it takes robots like ASIMO a few hours of programming just to walk forward for five minutes.
23:21.02WormyWell spintronics and memristors have the potential to outstrip transistors completely
23:21.26WormyThere is interest in using new types of transistor which combines them in blocks
23:21.36MonetI guess ocmpared to the neuron, a microchip is pretty primitive.
23:21.42Tek0516Aye
23:22.22WormyIts not the neurons or the chips individually (you are correct there however), its the way they all work together as emergence
23:22.54Tek0516The most positive thing is that if we know it exists, it is possible to make something at least as equally powerful.
23:23.23Tek0516Human-level intelligence, that is.
23:23.36WormyWhile computers are faster, brains of even simple animals vastly oustrip computers in ability, they are far more complicated, and in our case, capable of creativity, understanding and consciousness
23:24.54WormyIts up for debate though whether computation can achieve those results at all.  For example, we have an ability to know the truth of things that can't be written in formal systems of mathematics, we know Godel's Incompleteness Theorem is true but can't prove it computationally.
23:25.31MonetI was more referring to raw computing power than hinting at intelligence.
23:25.34WormyEither consciousness is not computable, or we are a very long way from simulating creativity in machines
23:25.44WormyAye, I just love that debate
23:26.59MonetThen again, ASIMO has to have its routines tailored for eery session, so I guess technicians need to run through the coding for that five-minute stroll each time
23:27.27MonetWheras for a fly knowing how to flap its wings is already stored in its memory
23:27.28DrodoEmpirehttps://scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/15675_696667480409476_8586538719245023877_n.jpg?oh=8d3d271d450d21bc6da401d9a9647b49&oe=54845133
23:28.34MonetI don't think ASIMO can even see where its going
23:28.35DrodoEmpiretest
23:29.27Tek0516pass
23:29.36DrodoEmpireyey
23:31.35WormyI doubt the fly has to think about flapping its wings, all that information is probably at the level of signals, and below that, its genotype evolved over millenia
23:31.56Tek0516DrodoEmpire: Do you have any suggestions for a good country in Asia for EUIV?
23:32.12WormyASIMO however has very chunked programming made to achieve the same result
23:32.15DrodoEmpireManchu or Japan are interesting.
23:32.40DrodoEmpireIve never personally tried them but Ayuthhaya (or however its spelt) also seems like a good pick
23:33.30DrodoEmpireI would say Korea but they're usually screwed over by Manchu, Ming, Japan, or all three
23:33.37WormyEasyness shouldn't be part of the explanation imo, its that the fly is so complex in its processes probably at an unconscious level, while our programming, while higher order, misses all that.
23:33.45DrodoEmpireMing might also ally with Korea and it might survive for longer if so
23:33.57DrodoEmpireThat said they may also invade
23:34.17MonetA computer that can modify its own programming on the fly would be a revolutionary step forwad
23:34.22WormyIn that perspective, what ASIMO is doing is quite spectacular, having to chunk all that information within a few hours
23:34.27MonetNo pun intended lol
23:35.05WormyBy chunking I mean, one can do biology without needing to know subatomic physics
23:38.40DrodoEmpiretest
23:38.42MonetCome to think of it...I think I indicated that DI battle droids are artificial intelligences.
23:39.00MonetThey can adapt to changes in a hotzone as swiftly as any organic soldier
23:39.41WormyI think singularitism, and quite a lot of transhumanism is quackery tbh.  If one takes a moment to study computation, epistemology and AI you'd see through it.  And while stuff like the singularity in a few decades might sound optimistic, its actually pessimistic.

23:41.11MonetWormy: Because of how swiftly people are thinking humanlike artificial intelligences would come about.
23:41.41WormyPessimism because it asserts there will be knowledge humans can't have that the machines or cyborgs will.  But we know that can't be true, machines may only think faster but they too are subject to the same error, computational universality holds.  And science lets us understand things way beyond our experience
23:42.59MonetI was never quite sold on how becoming part machine is somehow automatically better.
23:43.20MonetMachines have their own faults that crop up during their lifetimes
23:44.25MonetGlitches, material stress, implant rejection, programming corruption etc.
23:44.26Wormyyep

23:49.05MonetThing is...its actually very rare in an evolutionary standpoint to kill for reasons outside self-defence or a desire to sustain oneself.
23:49.12WormyI'm not sure what is so transcendent via transhumanism either.  The want for progress, for discovering new physical and menal realms, to evolve, is a human and human evolutionary trait.
23:49.35WormyThere is no such thing as a "transhuman"
23:49.38Wormyin my view
23:50.07WormyThat is not to say human bengs won't evolve, or even control their evolution through technological and menetic means
23:50.18WormyThat I think is likely
23:50.25MonetI prefer the term "post-human"
23:50.39WormyBut the lofty goals of transhumanists don't realise they ARE human
23:51.34WormyIn fact, memes might have influenced our biological evolution already
23:52.30WormyA co-evolution of memes and genes under a criteria of creativity might have expanded the hardware in our bran, to extend the bandwidth of information held in memes
23:52.51Wormy*brain
23:53.38MonetI wonder how much of the transhuman movement is made up of people besides futurists, geeks rebels of parochial ideas.
23:53.49Monetgeeks and rebels*
23:54.44MonetThen again I suppsoe "futurist" is a vague term
23:55.04WormyThere are some genuinly interesting philosophers in it, but its mostly geeks.  Despite what I said, I think I am a transhumanist, but take it with a critical approach.  Evolution is certainly better than extinction, progress is better than stagnation
23:56.02WormyAnd its fun to think about the possibilities of things like cyber-heaven, having multiple bodies, experiencing things never before possible, and other such sci-fi scenarios
23:56.22DrodoEmpiretest
23:56.46MonetWe as a society appear to ahve developed a meme of wanting the next best tech.
23:56.59WormyI wouldn't say its a bad one
23:57.53WormyThere are good and bad memes I think, bad ones decay people's critical faculties and promote stagnation, while say, the menes of the Enlightenment, has brought many fruits
23:57.59MonetI remember watchign a program on planned obscelescence and the interviewer asked a bunch of people lining up for a new iphoen model or the Xbox One were asked why they were there. Most of them struggled to come up with an answer beyond "I don't knwo really"
