| 10:30.18 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 10:32.39 | Ghel | I've experienced something new today. On my way back from shopping I was stopped in the streets by a couple of Christians wanting to talk to me about religion. That in itself isn't new. But they were dressed up wearing shirts and ties and badges on their shirts. |
| 10:33.11 | Ghel | They were also foreign; one was clearly American and the other I think had something like a German accent. They put a card in one of my shopping bags and left me to go back to my flat. |
| 10:33.19 | Ghel | I've looked at the card now. Turns out, they were Mormons. |
| 10:33.42 | Ghel | That's a completely non-interesting story, I know. For some reason I just felt like sharing it. |
| 10:33.59 | Ghel | In hindsight I'm not sure why. |
| 10:37.52 | Hachiman | I hate those kind of people hur |
| 10:38.05 | Hachiman | So you have not encountered Mormons up until now? |
| 10:40.04 | Ghel | No, never. I have Jehovah's Witnesses on my mum's side of the family, and I have seen some in public as well (the other time I was stopped carrying shopping, it was by Witnesses). A few weeks ago a couple of Christians of some minor church roped me into attenting an otherwise-unattended sermon on Jubilee Campus. |
| 10:40.06 | Ghel | But no Mormons. |

| 10:40.58 | Hachiman | Now that I think about it, I have never encountered Mormons either |
| 10:41.01 | Hachiman | Hai |
| 10:41.44 | Monet | Hi |
| 10:41.56 | Ghel | I think it's also Jehovah's Witnesses who stand near the bus stop outside the Queen's Medical Centre pretty much every day. |
| 10:42.09 | Monet | I din't think there were many Mormons in England. |
| 10:43.09 | Ghel | Maybe they've started trying to get a foothold here. |
| 10:43.56 | Ghel | The start of this conversation was that a pair of Mormon missionaries, new to England, stopped me in the street as I was coming back from shopping. |

| 10:50.40 | Monet | They are everywhere... |
| 10:55.13 | Liquid_Ink | I have some very nice Jehovah's Witness friends |
| 11:00.33 | Ghel | Yes, they are human too. |
| 11:00.40 | Imperios | I remember Jehova's Witnesses harassing me on the streets a few times |
| 11:01.41 | Imperios | They always assumed I am Chinese and showed me their pamphlets in Mandarin |
| 11:02.04 | Imperios | One of them did this again AFTER I answered them in Russian |
| 11:03.26 | Imperios | There was also a guy who tried to give me Chick Tracts |
| 11:03.42 | Imperios | I still do not understand what religion he followed |
| 11:03.53 | Imperios | When I asked him he said that all religion is slavery and that I should repent |
| 11:06.47 | Ghel | Perhaps he as a particular spiritual belief set and rejects organised religion. |
| 11:07.06 | Ghel | has* |
| 11:07.23 | Ghel | Or he was trying to mess with your head. Alternatively, he believes that there is a god, but this god is an enslaver of mankind and the only hope is to bow down to him. |
| 11:07.57 | Liquid_Ink | Maybe he was a Stalinist? |
| 11:09.01 | Ghel | I suppose the tracts could have been a way of saying "this is what religion is like; keep away from it". And "repent" is metaphorical. |
| 11:09.44 | Ghel | was* |
| 11:15.56 | Hachiman | Could maybe be a follower of gnosticism |
| 11:16.23 | drom_ | mumbles: "<template DWORD>*" |
| 11:27.17 | Imperios | He was a Christian |
| 11:27.21 | Imperios | He said I should repent |
| 11:27.38 | Imperios | And that Christ died for my sins et cetera |
| 11:30.52 | Ghel | So Christian misotheist sounds unlikely, but I don't know. |
| 11:31.48 | Ghel | I'd better go and try to get some work done now. |
| 11:33.14 | Imperios | I think he was a Christian who believed in God but rejected organised and/or traditional religions |
| 11:33.24 | Imperios | *traditional religious institutions |

| 14:13.18 | Hachiman | The girl in the comic looks cute |
| 14:22.18 | Wormy_ | I like seeing the human form evolve. |
| 14:24.10 | Wormy_ | The SporeWikiverse is going to have an exponentially worsening problem given that it was shrunk to only the nearest galaxies. |
| 14:25.41 | Hachiman | The SporeWikiverse will likely die faster than ours |
| 14:25.50 | Hachiman | By merit of less content |
| 14:27.19 | Wormy_ | Like in the story, its population will outstrip energy demands, so will have to shrink their body-media down but that will barely stall it. |
| 14:27.30 | Wormy_ | Or they could colonise hyperspace I suppose |
| 14:30.23 | Ghelae | Population in the SporeWikiverse a) doesn't seem to grow very quickly and b) is regularly decreased by apocalyptic pangalactic wars against demons. |
| 14:31.41 | Wormy_ | The former is right, only up until now. But with the technologies and immortality becoming more common, it sounds inevitable. The latter should work though |
| 14:32.18 | Ghelae | Hyperspace seems to be a practically unlimited source of energy. It may be both a literally unlimited source of energy and an unlimited heat sink, due to its connection with Essence, thereby rendering the laws of thermodynamics effectively moot for civilisations who can manipulate it. |
| 14:33.05 | Wormy_ | Thats pretty much what happened at the end of the Last Question, Cosmic AC lived in hyperspace and humanity merged with it |
| 14:33.24 | Wormy_ | SporeWikiverse that is happening much faster |
| 14:33.32 | Ghelae | Yes; I read the comic you linked to. |
| 14:34.21 | Ghelae | Although hyperspace in The Last Question doesn't seem to be so thermodynamics-violating, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to solve the problem. |
| 14:34.33 | Wormy_ | yeah |
| 14:35.02 | Wormy_ | In the SporeWikiverse, Exodium already tried to do it |
| 14:35.41 | Ghelae | If the way SporeWikiverse starships avoid overheating is that they use Essence, which is at absolute zero, as a heat sink, then reversing entropy is nothing more than a matter of engineering. |
| 14:37.10 | Ghelae | That is, the maximum theoretical efficiency of an engine that converts heat to work is 1 - Tc/Th, where Tc is the temerature of the cold reservoir and Th is the temperature of the heat reservoir (in most real-world engines, the former is the air, water or coolant while the latter is the burning of fuel). |
| 14:37.33 | Ghelae | Set Tc=0 and the maximum efficiency is thus 100%. Energy can be completely transformed from heat to work. |
| 14:38.17 | Wormy_ | Like some perpetual motion devices? |
| 14:38.33 | Ghelae | This doesn't happen in the real world because systems obeying quantum mechanics have nonzero temperature. But Essence, as we have discussed, presumably is non-quantum in nature. |
| 14:38.56 | Ghelae | And yes, this would count as a perpetual motion machine of the second kind. |
| 14:44.02 | Wormy_ | The SporeWikiverse is close to the Doctor Who universe and the Xeelee Sequence in terms of Clarke's Third Law lol |
| 14:44.41 | Ghelae | Yes, but I've explained how we can violate physics, using science! :P |
| 14:45.40 | Wormy_ | True but I'm trying to think of a word for daily events with ridiculously powerful entities doing their thing |
| 14:46.29 | Wormy_ | on a trivial basis |

| 14:56.31 | Wormy_ | Still if humans still develop tech into the very far future, our science fiction would look incredibly antiquated to them |
| 14:57.18 | Wormy_ | Some of it would be close to the truth, others silly, and they would probably have things we haven't imagined |
| 14:57.47 | Wormy_ | Thats if sci-fi is even a thing then |
| 14:58.33 | Wormy_ | Or on the flip side, try to imagine what their science fiction would be like. |
| 14:58.41 | Ghelae | I'm sure our understanding of how the universe works is becoming more and more accurate over time, so hard sci-fi may not look too unrealistic to them - not liking sending a manned spaceship to the moon by firing it out of a giant cannon, for example. |
| 14:58.54 | Ghelae | But society, and the applications of technology, could be completely alien to us. |
| 15:01.20 | Ghelae | Even with knowledge of microchips and fibre optics and all of the capabilities of modern computation and communication technologies, who could have predicted the modern internet in all of its uses a few decades ago? |
| 15:02.20 | Ghelae | Even if we had a complete understanding of how 31st-century technology could work, we might not have any idea how the people of that time would apply it. |
| 15:02.48 | Wormy_ | It is doubtful the first scribes that developed written languages would have appreciated the full scale of their work, and nobody did for a long time |
| 15:04.47 | Wormy_ | Here is something interesting |
| 15:06.21 | Wormy_ | In the time of Charles Babbage and the Analytical Engine, binary operations were already formalised long before by Laplace. And electric relays already existed that could have sped up the engine and even aplied to telegraphy |
| 15:06.57 | Wormy_ | Not Laplace, Leibniz |
| 15:09.54 | Wormy_ | Shame he could organise himself to build it, or even look in other fields to see the possibility |

| 15:49.36 | MonetAway | Ghelae: I was sure the "giant cannon" idea was because Jules Verne's editor thought reaching the moon via rocket was the unbelievable idea. |

| 16:01.51 | Hachiman | "In any case, as the great philosopher, Forrest Gump's mom, "life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get". But if you look at the world through Gump's eyes, you can bet it's going to be sweet. And knowing my luck, it'll probably have fucking coconut." |
| 16:01.57 | Wormy_away | Ghelae: There's a gremlin on SporeWiki which keeps setting my preferences to Monobook. |
| 16:07.30 | Ghelae | Monet: Yes, I think so too. It was just the first example that came to my mind... I think Wormy usually mentions "spaceships made of brick" or something like that. |
| 16:07.45 | Ghelae | Wormy_away: Now that's just cruel even by gremlin standards. :P |
| 16:08.19 | Ghelae | Saying that, I don't think there are any known cases of gremlins being truly cruel... |
| 16:08.20 | Wormy_away | Yes I was going to mention spaceships made of brick |
| 16:08.36 | Ghelae | is trying to avoid offending any gremlins should they exist |
| 16:08.43 | Monet | Hachiman: I never got why coconut in chocolate is so horrible to some people. |
| 16:08.49 | Wormy_away | It appeared in a Victoirian story about going to space or the Moon |
| 16:08.57 | Ghelae | Monet: The taste. |
| 16:09.02 | Hachiman | kek |
| 16:09.09 | Monet | I must be different then. |
| 16:09.16 | Hachiman | Coconut is fucking awful hur |
| 16:09.32 | Monet | Bounty is one of my favorite chocolate bars. |
| 16:09.36 | Ghelae | People who like coconut in chocolate generally have different tastes to people who dislike coconut in chocolate, yes. |
| 16:10.03 | Hachiman | Your mother raised you the wrong way boy |
| 16:12.10 | Monet | I look at it this way. If a girl buys me chocolates at least she doesn't have to secretly eat/throw away the coconut ones. |
| 16:12.32 | Wormy_away | Ghelae: According to this encyclopaedia of spirits, Gremlins have been helpful to mankind. They helped Benjamin Franklin and the scottish Gremlin Hector o' the Clyde drew James Watt's attention to steam power by bouncing the boiling lid of a kettle up and down. |
| 16:13.14 | Wormy_away | Regrettably, most human engineers lacked insight into Gremlinology |
| 16:13.43 | Wormy_away | To give them the credit they deserved. This insult soured the gremlin attutides towards mankind |
| 16:14.51 | Wormy_away | What technicians now call the Gremlin Effect, or GE is down to them making life difficult |
| 16:15.54 | Wormy_away | Each household has a hereditary gremlin. And the first person to recognise GE was Pilot Officer Prune of the Royal Air Force |
| 16:16.34 | Monet | Wormy: My house's gremlin must have moved out then. |
| 16:16.44 | Wormy_away | Skillfull manifestation of GE is when only a minor component isn't working forcing the mechanic to take apart the entire machine |
| 16:17.44 | Wormy_away | Ghelae: To ensure we please the internet Gremlins, we must acknowledge our lifelong debt to Gremlins |
| 16:18.01 | Hachiman | Gremlins should have told us what they wanted before they assisted us without our word and then felt obligated to draw rewards from us |
| 16:18.42 | Monet | I live with a relative whose philosophy of maintenance is "only when it breaks" and his attitude to cleaning is "when I feel the need". So I think our house gremlin got sick of his attitude and moved on to greener pastures. |
| 16:21.04 | Ghelae | Hachiman: In ancient times, gremlins - i.e. household spirits - did have a mutually-understood deal with humans. |
| 16:21.42 | Ghelae | Presumably, the Enlightenment resulted in people viewing these agreements as mere superstitions, and ultimately forgetting them. |
| 16:22.28 | Hachiman | Not our fault they became obsolete in a technologically evolving world |
| 16:22.56 | Monet | And that's why they break our shit lol |
| 16:25.18 | Ghelae | Specifically, it was the industrial revolution that made them become obsolete: most households no longer needed spirits to help out on the farm, and yes, new consumer technology made most of their housework redundant too. |
| 16:25.45 | Ghelae | However, gremlin activity really peaked during WWII. Most of them seem to have calmed down since then. |
| 16:25.59 | Ghelae | Accepted their fate? Found something else to do? I don't know. |
| 16:26.49 | DrodoEmpire | test |
| 16:27.08 | Monet | House spirits should be respected. |
| 16:27.36 | Monet | They were our friends |
| 16:27.37 | Hachiman | Except they do not pay rent |
| 16:28.31 | Wormy_away | This is a good book, I recommend it http://cdn.halcyonrealms.com/illustration/the-encyclopedia-of-things-that-never-were-book-review/ |
| 16:28.44 | Ghelae | Since they don't need food or water, or use heating or electricity, and don't count as residents for tax purposes, there's little for them to pay rent for. |
| 16:29.34 | Wormy_away | I need to show my respect to the Gremlin, I wonder how |
| 16:29.54 | Ghelae | Well, I say they don't need food or water... the gifts they were given in payment for their work were edible. |
| 16:30.53 | Monet | Wormy_away: Maybe a combination of believing and doing housework? |
| 16:31.36 | Wormy_away | Perhaps, I don't do enough housework. |
| 16:32.13 | Monet | At the end of the day it wants to feel like it belongs. |
| 16:34.02 | Wormy_away | I will offer coffee to the Gremlins |
| 16:34.16 | Wormy_away | I mean, we all like coffee at work, right? |
| 16:34.37 | Wormy_away | And I might end up with a business of selling coffee to the Gremlins |
| 16:35.00 | DrodoEmpire | what |
| 16:35.33 | Wormy_away | Yes, bad idea. Selling coffee won't make them feel respected. |
| 16:35.58 | Ghelae | I don't know about coffee, but IIRC they do enjoy drinking cream. |
| 16:36.18 | Ghelae | And maybe honey. |
| 16:36.28 | Monet | Hney might be a good one |
