in the future you will sage

What's Iron HIll?
What's ETP?
What year are you from?
How old are you?

>>8912346

1. Iron Hill is a huge armored base on treads. It was only a rumor until pretty recently. First time I saw it was when it saved my unit at the autolabor compound.

2. ETP is shorthand for Entanglement Transmission Protocol. It's how I'm able to post here, and read the replies.

3. It's 2107 currently. Nearing the end of my tour of duty in 2108.

4. Thirties. That's all you'll get out of me.

Oh fuck, it's you. I thought you were dead.

>>8912415

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

How's the moon bitch you were with?

According to your story, when is the shit supposed to hit the fan here? Will it have something to do with this climate bill congress is trying to pass?

Who are these redshirts?

Is it a reference to Star Trek? Do they all die?

>>8912440

I haven't spoken with Siane since being assigned to Iron Hill. Everyone present that day was reassigned, so as to keep the project secret for a little while longer. I hope she doesn't think I'm ignoring her...

I did warn you about attempts at geoengineering, plans for which were in the formative stages when I first posted here and which you should have heard a lot more on since. Large technology companies organizing with governments to fuck with the atmosphere, that sort of thing. You were in over your head, didn't anticipate the consequences, and the rapid warming effect resulted. It's become synonymous with scientific hubris.

If you meant the civil war, that occurs immediately following the prewar conservative party's electoral loss in 2016.

fantasy escape reality

>>8912453

That's only the millionth time I've heard that reference. You're lucky I know what Star Trek is. Redshirts are the foot soldiers of the CNPA, or what's left of it. In their minds, the civil war never ended.

>>8912545

whats the CNPA, describe in detail the civil war

>>8912557

I'm sort of tired of explaining that in every thread. Can anyone else fill him in, or....?

>>8912570

well i can tell you that the habs have just advanced to the eastern conference final.

Pretty shitty movies out right now

>>8912557
christian nationalist party of america. christfags start a civil war. sciencefags mostly win. super-mobile death rays. toxo-zombies.

>>8912570

while all this shit is going down in the US, what happens in Canada?

>>8912557
Fundamentalist Christians gone militaristic. Led by Palin and her ilk, they start a civil war when they get butthurt about losing another election.

>>8912570

What happens to Japan? Has the "any minute now" magnitude 8.5 Tokyo/Tokai/Kanto Earthquake happened yet? I'm thinking of moving out of this area, but jobs are scarce these days out of the Kanto area.

>>8912594
and everything goes better than expected

>>8912500
The ironic thing is that the conservatives are by and large against that sort of thing, yet according to you they're the bad guys. Oh well, I guess it sucks to be on the wrong side of history.

This is, of course, assuming you're legitimate.

Is Barry Obongo going to finish his term?

>>8912602
Due to global warming going critical thanks to a failed attempt to mitigate it, your property values go through the motherfucking roof.

>>8912640

do we get dragged into your stupid war? or are we just chilling as always?

is this the same guy who was talking about biosphere type living arrangements in the future?

>>8912635
Conservatives in general are a sane lot that I happen to disagree with. But there's some crazy fucks out there (read up on the Tea Party movement) that are getting more and more popular support as time goes on.

>>8912602

Canada comes out of the rapid warming effect smelling like roses. More arable land, wonderful temperate climate, and the only traditional open-air cities left on the continent.

>>8912619

A clusterfuck of automation and hab living. They seized on the concepts of autolabor and urban consolidation, and took them to undreampt of extremes. Arguably they were already on their way before the war, as they hoped to provide for their elderly with recognizably modern robots.

Tons of quakes, tsunamis and hurricanes as a result of rapid warming, yeah. I can't specify dates off the top of my head.

So what's the deal with the Fendippitous Eggmen?

>>8912635
Yes, but after an assassination attempt, he decides not to run for a second term.

red dead redemption

Do they have a cure for small dicks?

Do they have a cure for fat?

Are there robots who can love?

How is racism?

Tell me what i can do to change the future world right now for the better.

>So, what's the word on early habs?

The montreal canadiens?? Idk what they are

>Google done with gOS yet?

i dont know either

>Do panels still need those stupid glasses to do 3D?

yes

>What movies are popular?

Iron Man 2, Shrek 3d

Any godawful Lovecraftian space/time existential shit go down? It's my biggest fear.

Anything big going to go on in the world soon? Its 2010.

>>8912635

Obama? Yes, but he declines to run for a second on account of the assassination attempt. They never concretely tied the shooter to the CNPA but he was a tea partier, so it's not as if historical record gives him the benefit of the doubt.

>>8912672
What's so crazy about them? I mean, really. There's stereotypes, and then there's reality. Granted, there's a lot of white trash at a few of them, but I've attended one in my area and it was actually pretty pleasant.

Go check out zombietime.com if you want to see who the real loony protesters are. Tea parties aint got shit on these guys.

>>8912675

Guy in Japan here, is this a good place to bide my time until wars' end or should I bug out and go somewhere else?

>>8912325

OP, surely you recognize that language evolves over time. Why the language we speak today is vastly different from the English of the early 1900s. So share some of the differences in language that might be interesting.

What's going on with music? Is the electric guitar still cool?

>>8912686

Oh, Iron Man, I know about that series. Pretty good paleofuturism given that exoskeletons are now in common military use. They don't make a whole lot of sense tactically, but they're legally necessary. No armed drones without on-site human supervision.

Holy shit, it's been ages. Futureguy is back!
As for movies, Iron Man 2 came out recently. Not too bad i hear.
Do you guys still have movies or are you too busy?
Also, maybe you've said this before, but have you met aliens yet? Turians, asari, quarians? Ther's a game called Mass Effect that takes place around 2134...perhaps you haven't met them yet...

>>8912325 tropes
>redshirts

oh futureboy, you are better than this, surely...

>>8912726

so what state is the world in now? Any major wars besides the civil war that appears to have died down?

>>8912716

The digital guitar, yeah.

>>8912691

Sort of. VB is pretty tight lipped about the voider accidents and I have been too, ever since they sent someone to remind me why it's in my own best interest.

can you take a picture of the future and send it back to us? That'd be neat

>>8912749

voider accidents?

>>8912699
It's sort of strange that you mention that. Considering every bloody attempt has been made by the organizers of those events to distance themselves from loons and violent activists.

They even go so far as to hold signs up above any provocateurs (neo-nazis, left-wing moles, that sort of thing.) who show up to point out to all present that they aren't part of the protest.

Nobody is advocating violent action, but if some lone wolf psychopath wants to do what he wants on his own and tie it to a movement, there's zilch anyone can do about it. That would be like blaming all democrats for waco or all republicans for Oklahoma city.

But whatever, conservatism ceased to be a intellectual movement when Buckley died. God rest his soul.

>>8912726
TELL US WHAT WE ARE ALL DIEING TO KNOW.

WHAT IS LADY GAGA'S NEXT BILLBOARD AFTER TELEPHONE?

IS SHE STILL ALIVE?

DOES SHE BECOME MORE THAN MADONNA.

THANK YU.

>>8912676
>>8912767

WHAT IS APPLE'S NEXT PRODUCT FOLLOWING THE iPAD?

HURP.

>>8912730

We've got a decent selection of pretty recent filmapps available during off hours. All locally stored, no access to habnet sadly. Still, they're a lot newer than the ones we had aboard the aerostat, all of which I'd seen several times as of the reassignment. I almost wept openly when I realized that Iron Hill had a library full of shit I hadn't seen yet.

Has or is faster than light speed travel available at your time period?

>>8912767

He's gone over this already in another thread, and yes, she is huge leik Madonna's xbawks.

>>8912823
what. archived? lies.

Holy shit Futureguy. I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago. No way is this coincidence.

Anyway. When do proper "alternative" and "clean" energy sources start to properly replace fossil fuels for good? Any particular companies to watch out for?

Google's OS (Chrome OS) is shaping up nicely. Still not finished, but it's getting there.

It's really good to see you again Futureguy. Do you think you'll pop up again?

>>8912790
Sounds like you're quite the movie buff. Which one's your favorite, and if it's not from "our time", what's it about?
And you never answered me about the aliens...

>>8912782

They start putting out optics pretty soon. There were a few other companies already doing it, but characteristically, Apple sold theirs as an unprecedented revolution in display technology.

>>8912752

I've been trying to for the better part of a month. I swear I will, too. Keep your pants on. One of these days we'll stop near a transciever station, where I'll have enough bandwidth and stream monitors won't be able to intercept it.

I took a bunch a while back, I've been adding to the collection since. I hope they satisfy.

>>8912823

Go check the archives yourself. He said something along the lines of "when you think of the '10s, you think 'Lady Gaga.'" I can't remember exactly.

yo futurebro

that bill/amendment for lowering the age of the president hasn't been passed yet

is it a bill or an amendment to the constitution? why hasn't it happened yet?

>>8912876
and what is this revolutionary new product called?

if u can't recall somethign similar to an iPod or a company like Apple's name then you are massive bullshitter and can die in a fire ;3

where are you? on a train or a spaceship or something?

And, as I said before, is faster than light speed possible at your time?

>>8912878
i either fail at searching or it isnt archived. how bout u link me.

>>8912325

>Do panels still need those stupid glasses to do 3D? What movies are popular?

Yes we still need those stupid glasses. I don't keep up with movies often but Avatar's pretty big I guess. Some 3D movies out on called How To Train Your Dragon, Alice in Wonderland, some other crap.

>>8912834

#1. Following the war. It was taken as an opportunity to build a new energy infrastructure rather than repair the one we had. Google takes the lead as a provider of solar, wind and thorium based nuclear energy.

Remember when I first told you guys about gOS? When I said Google would put out the first mainstream 3D operating system some of you accused me of trolling. Can't wait to see what you'll say when it's released.

I probably will from time to time, but they keep me pretty busy with ESU maintinence and salvage. The more stolen ESUs we can reclaim from the outsiders, the better.

>>8912895

Can you name the biggest, most influential product of 1913?

He's 100 years in the future, why the fuck should he remember the name of a shitty toy that came out before he was born, especially after living in the post-civil war hellscape that he does?

Go fuck yourself, fanboy.

>>8912949
cotton-gin.

how about, faggot, if he can post a picture like the one he has he post other .jpg's and .gif's?

^.^

>>8912878

How about no? You can either believe me or not, I don't really care. I think Gaga is shit, and it pains me greatly that she is known in the future at all. I'm just telling you what he said.

Fuck that bitch, I hope she gets run over by a combine harvester. Which she won't, apparently.

>>8912929

Why aren't more people like you using the technology to communicate with the past.

>>8912988
Get out. He's been doing these threads for over a year. GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT.

>>8912949
lol a year

>>8913002
GODDAMN HOW COME.

>>8912895

The iGlasses.

>>8912898

Iron Hill is basically a huge, mobile base on segmented treads. The treads themselves rise above the treeline. It's only remained secret for this long because it's also amphibious and was in the middle of an oceanic test run.

Ferries supposedly can reach a tenth of C, but most don't push it that far as they don't need to. The nuclear pulse drives are gradually being replaced with hydrogen fueled nuclear rockets of some kind, I don't know what the anticipated practical top speed is but I imagine it has to be comparable.

>>8912949
>defending a guy who says hes from the future who has not given us any evidence AT ALL that ANYTHING he says is true other than "Just wait and see."
>calling someone else a fanboy

You might as well put your trip back on future guy.

>>8912988
You fool! Such formats don't exist in the future! We have inferior formats.

>>8912988

Nice try, the but the cotton gin came out in the 1790s.

>>8912929
What do you mean by "3D" operating system? Like, the same sort of thing as 3D movies? Do you have to wear funky glasses for those still?

>>8912988

>hasn't read a single one of these threads and things he knows shit

also

>cotton gin
> most influential product of 1913

>>8913015
lol yea fuckin right. right after u see my cotton-gin post u get all creative.

bullshit thread is unamusing and great time wasting troll.

^.^

>>8913018
godammit it's just a story quit being such a whiny bitch.

>>8913002

They are, you interact with them online all the time and don't realize it. Most of us don't make it clear that we're posting from your future because we wind up getting swarmed with questions about the 2100s when most of us use ETP in the first place because we want to know more about the 2000s-2050s.

>>8913018

Wrong again, shitbreath.

>>8913030

surprised anon believes this is true at all. you obviously give into anecdotal studies about losing weight fast, how wal*mart is evil, obama isn't a citizen, and 9/11 was done by jews.

feels good 2 c u easily trolled man. feels good.

>>8913042
>>8913038
Cry some more.

crysomemorelittlebabymanblox

Why can't I have a single thread without people shitting it up with poorly spelled arguments. Shit.

>>8913018

lrn2 suspension of disbelief

lol this thread is only amusing b/c of butthurt anon newfugs getting all up in a pithy

loldrama

why do fags always end up shitting up his threads

even if it isn't real, its fun to suspend your belief for a moment

his threads make this shithole of a board marginally better

ITS BEEN SO LONG I AM SO HAPPY

>>8913040

Maybe so, but why hasn't anyone attempted to communicate something to us that may prevent something bad happening?

Also, where are all the people from the 2200's+? Hm? Why aren't they communicating as well.

Do you fear that with the coming of the Astartes comes your obsolescence?

>>8913079
b/c 100yrs in the future u remember jargin like thread, that'll, and various other vocal connotations that are only akin to this time-period.

u literally fail. ya fail hard bro, ya fail hard. <3

>>8913093

A bunch regularly do. I guess people assume they're nutjobs or something.

>>8913079

Sorry dude. Some people just have a hard time with it. I think you're awesome.

Also, what's a "voider accident"?

Have we discovered FTL travel?

How far have we expored?

Are we alone?

>>8913089
lol OP is obviously posting in his own thread.

gj bro.

>>8913079
I do believe you have had multiple threads that didn't get shit on.

It's been around a year, and you haven't given us any definitive, beyond a shadow of a doubt, cold hard evidence that you are from the future.

People are losing faith.

>>8913109

I've been posting on this board for over a decade. Prior to that I lurked for several months so as not to stand out like a sore thumb. My 2010 may not be perfect but I'd wager it's more convincing than your 2107.

What happens to the European Union?

>>8913124

Goddamnit, go back to /b/ you fucking shitbag of fail.

>>8913113
>>A bunch

Careful.Anon finds your usage of north american contemporary euphemisms to be a great source of fail.

>>8913125

Pretty sure nobody knew anything about the military's plans to weaponize Toxo in 2008.

>>8913128

>implying r9k has been around for 10years

OH OH OH

WHAT HAPPENS TO GREECE

DO THEY BECOME THE NEW SOMALIA OR WHAT

>>8913079
You communicate with the dark ages, you get what yo get.
Also, I really like these threads. I know i'll never know if they are real or not, but i like to act like they are when i'm in one.

>>8913151
loool believe in yourself and it might just be true
oh escapism

>>8913128
lol a decade and we are to believe u are in your 20 somethings.

failing hard :)

>>8913160

A decade for HIM, not us. Fuckin' shit, think before you speak!

>>8913160

Ten years on my end. About two years on your end. It's not that hard to figure out.

>>8913152
"A bunch" is not a euphemism

>>8913160
rofl i second this. damn OP is a bigger faggot than before.

How do Iraq and Afghanistan turn out?

>>8913040
How do they allow such potentially dangerous technology in the hands of anyone?

All it takes is for you to say "Someone will assassinate the president in 2012" and the entire world of the future could change when the assassination attempt is stopped.

If what you say to us in the past does not interfere with your timelime then, why don't you (or anyone even from the future) send us any kind of data that would speed up our technological development to have an even greater future by your time?

>>8913173

Nice try, but you really should read the thread before you shit in it. >>8912389 is a good place to start.

>>8913173
jesus christ you moron do you yell at fiction movies that they aren't real?
I mean fuck...
what a giant pile of fail.

>>8913183
Stop responding to the trolls please.

so, i know MyPets or whatever the love-bots are called can only be made to look pre-pubesant and no loli-bots are legal....

but why?
even in this christian and jew controlled age, sex-dolls are available, lolicon is mostly legal, etc

you would think after the death of christian morals, this sorta thing wouldnt be frowned upon.

>>8913193
Jesus fucking CHRIST.

Fuck you moot, for bringing these fucknuts to r9k, whether we had it coming or not. Fuck you right in the neck.

Ugh. Another trollfest. This is literally why I hate /r9k/

Also, OP, you really aren't fooling anyone except fellow basement dwelling teens who are going to community college next year.

Sorry.

>>8913207
that's a good point, every thread there's some idiot who has to post "lollol it isn't real!!"
just ignore it and post the story

any timeline on those pictures? what have you taken pictures of anyway?

>>8913227
I doubt he's trying to "fool" anyone, just posting a fun story and enjoying himself.

>>8913183

What is this voider accident that you were talking about? Sounds horrible and cool.

>>8913109
Do you still get the PAPER every sunday?

Forums will probably still be referred to as threads in a 100 years.

>>8913199

Because, according to the companies that provide ETP and the current state of knowledge about it, any changes made to the past take effect at the same speed everything else moves through time. It never catches up to the present. You could have countless alternate histories right on your 'heels', so to speak. A history where the CNPA formed in the fifites and won a pre-emptive war, not five minutes behind your reality. Lots of documentaries do an admirable job at visualizing how it works but it still makes my head explode.

>>8913241
How DARE he!!

How FUCKING dare he!!

>>8913199
IIRC he mentioned in a previous thread that their timeline isn't affected, so they don't really give a shit.

Suspend your fucking disbelief and have a little fun assholes.

What happens to the US Space Prpgram?

Kick Ass is a good movie, you should download it futurebro from future netflicks.

>>8913128
4chan's only been around 7 years, unless of course, you mean a decade in the future where you communicated with the past. I don't know.

Anyways, I wanted to know what you think of chronological conception, like things that come into being due to time travel in the past.

I WANT TO BELIEVE

but you are making it difficult

>>8913208

Very "young looking" MyGirlfriends are available. With their ages listed as 18 or higher. Sort of a nod nod, wink wink type of thing. No laws against preferring very young looking 18 year olds, although you won't win friends and influence people by having one of those hanging around your residence.

>>8913252

We get newsapps. A realtime coverage of recent events with optional AR alerts for topics we're concerned about.

>>8913257
yes but has anyone been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>8913257
how far back can you communicate?

>>8913093

mandatoryblockingbecausethisboardisjews.

>>8913257

How do you know if you are talking with your own historical timeline? Is there one original that has divergent branches? Or do you sometime get ETP crossover and "call" a distorted timeline where shit hasn't/doesn't happen the way you expect?

>>8913257
I love you, brah. I really do. I'm sitting here drinking 12 year old Scotch, completely mellow and relaxed by the concept of someone speaking (or posting) just for the sake of imagination, enjoyment, wonder and connectivity.

Whatever is wrong with that, anon?

>>8913268

Derailed by the war, and then overtaken by commercial efforts. Virgin Bigelow is the main player in that market, and has been since the start as far as I know. Most orbital resorts are owned by them, as is the fleet of ferries that take you between the lift station and the moon/mars.

>>8913318

I don't. It's slightly different every time. Sometimes I'll ask you guys about a historical event and I'll get one answer during one session, and a different answer the next session. There's no guarantee that the past I speak to during one session will be the same past I speak to the next. Likewise for you; some of the "me"s you've spoken with have probably been from slightly different futures.

>>8913327
these bastards have the 14-year-old-atheist mentality.
WE ARE THE VALIANT KNIGHTS OF SCIENCE

>>8913331


>pulled this from a recent Pop Science magazine.

god damn, up until now, 7/10

Now? 2/10

try some moar

>>8913331
Really?
virgin doesn't do shit in private space these days. companies like Orbital and aerojet are involved in private space. Virgin Galactic is just richard branson jerking off and saying he's going to buy man rated spacecraft when they become available.

>>8913257
So, because our history happens 100 years behind yours ,it never catches up to you, so none of these things you describe happens to us?

wat

>>8913362

Yeah, my grandpa grew up in a world where it was normal to believe in magic. Occasional reminders of that still kinda blow my mind, given that everyone with that mindset now lives in the jungle and takes potshots at aerostats.

>>8913358

Have you ever encountered a past where some really fucked up shit went down, like some NWO takeover, 1984 style fascist regime that tortures little girls and puppies and shit, so as to appease the neo-pagan gods that they worship?

>>8913374
see
>>8913358

Basically he is saying if he contradicts himself at any point, he's not.

>>8913374

They "might" happen to us. It's hard to say because for him, each past is different slightly.

>>8913257
So what about giving us information on life saving medicine, era defining technology, warnings of future threats or bad moves on our part?

Even if it wont affect your reality, you could see how things would turn out otherwise, Perhaps even start a chain where we keep sending tech back every 50 years back to 2010 and have a normal life in 2009, and flying spaceships and having superhuman health and strength and being able to make nanobots that change form by command into guns or shields or sex toys and shit by 2015.

>>8913298

why do people ever leave their houses?

if i was in the future...but a ton of 'wink wink' models, use auto laber to eat/drink for nothing...

fuck id be so happy.

>>8913362
Sheeeeit. I'm one in a million, brah. I'm the real deal.

And when I WAS 14, I spent way too much time jacking off to browse the interbutts, aka, AOL when I was 14.:P

>>8913392

It's never that radically different. I suppose in the event that it was, technology would differ too drastically for ETP to work. It needs a copper wire or optical fiber internet with a few specific satellite and radio protocols to 'talk' to.

>>8912325
What happens in 2012?

>>8913387

What do you know of the GFAA's fissure resulting in massive disruptions in Earth's GUAF the 2175's? I already know what happens to your kind, anyways.

I am curious of your knowledge.

>>8913413

He's just a regular dude. I mean, could you explain how to build a nuclear reactor to someone from 1900, without pictures or diagrams? Same goes for him.

What's daily life like for the average infantryman in your time?

>>8913413

I have, plenty of times. I get the impression this is the first thread of mine you've seen. I hear the same questions, demands, and accusations from every new guy.

Futurebro, i have all the threads of yours....im keeping them in a chest, printed. it has a note inside. i hope one day it gets to you.

your grandad.

>>8913448

I do have basic knowledge of a lot of the technologies that make modern life possible. I can tell you everything I know, if you like.

>>8913452

To be honest, we have better things to do than be around for all your posts.

So please, excuse us.

>>8913448
im from this tyime and couldnt answer that.

>>8913452

Is there some reason why you won't explain what a voider accident entails?

>>8913482
Read upthread. He was told to keep his mouth shut.

>>8913470

Nah, I don't like spoilers. I was just pointing out how it would be difficult to pass highly technical instructions of how to build something like what he describes in this format.

>>8913476
acctually, anon, many enjoy this time of suspension of disbeliefe, and find it enjoyable.

please do the gentlemanly things, and hide the thread, and dont let the e-door hit you on the way out.

>oh, and slip your self a bottle of advil and scotch while your at it :)

>>8913482
find the rapidshares, he has posted it before.

>>8913492

My bad, I misread that. I thought other people weren't telling him what was going on, not that he couldn't say.

How's your daughter doing, Futurebro?

Part of the difficulty with being your magic 8-ball is that hindsight is 20/20; there's not much I can tell you that you wouldn't have already thought of at some point, as the technological trends leading to most of the shit I describe could already be seen in 2010 and well before that. It'd be a bit like somehow telling someone from 1910 that electric cars would ultimately replace gasoline ones. Harder to believe in the 1950s I guess, so it does depend who you're telling, and when, but the point remains.

>>8913449
this also is relevant to my interests.

please tell me things have changed for the mudfoot? the grunt?

Hey bro, I LOVE these threads so here's BIG tip: read some Peter F Hamilton books. They'll give you some great ideas on far-out tech and what-not.

He can send us diagrams if he can get access to a ETP station or whatever that has enough bandwidth to do it.

I saw some like "stuck in the past" guide that told you how you could get modernized medicine and generate electricity. If you could explain that to an ancient greek philosopher we'd be having orgies with space aliens in the andromeda galaxy by now.

I'm pretty sure he can explain something like "Oh if you do this and this to a computer, it'll run a million times faster than the top end system you can get at best buy right now" or "If you modify this enzyme you can cure aging and cancer"

I can't tell a medieval knight how to modify genetic code, but I can tell him that in our bodies cells theres little things called chromosomes that decide whether you have blonde or black hair and maybe i can explain what cells are before he lops my head off calling me a satan.

Good to see you back Alex!

For anyone interested, here is an archive I made containing 30 or so of Future's Threads. http://rapidshare.com/files/336616562/FutureThreads.rar

Nigger, it's time, He could in a second, refresh the thread after it's an hour old.

Couldn't you, theoretically, use ETP reduce latency in communicating out of the solar system?

>>8913610

Oops. I fucked that all up. lol

Well then he must have the typing skills and multitasking powers of Jesus because if 1 second to him = 1 hour to us...how would he be able to respond so quickly?

Logical fallacy hurr.

Have they ever. I know nothing of military life outside of what I've seen in filmapps but I can tell there's no comparison. For the first three years of my tour of duty I was stationed aboard a Unisec aerostat, one of two (one houses the field operators, the other drones/ammunition/equipment) and during that time I enjoyed amenities considerably nicer than anything I was used to before I enlisted. Memory gel beds in every crew cabin, impressors built right into the headrests, pressure showers that dry you in seconds after you wash, and we eat out of something very much like a vendor except most of the meal is prepared from dehydrated stores, instead of being pre-prepared frozen shit. It doesn't compare to what you'd get at a restaurant, but back when I was going through cumulative ed I ate out of my own vender most nights, so that was still a step up for me. The food aboard Iron Hill is even better, most of the greens are harvested fresh from the forest by repurposed drones whenever we stop somewhere.

>>8913541

just saying, im not this guy

>>8913476

but i am the guy posting about all the "how do i cure aids lol" shit.

Even if you don't spark a new golden age for 2010, it'd be fun to say "Sunuvagun, that guy was right" when i'm 40 fighting in a civil war sparked by the exact things you mentioned.

Futurebro, have you ever read or watched anything by Carl Sagan? If so, what do you think of his hopes for humanity's (your past) future in space?

>>8913625

Yes, it's called solarnet. It's how ETP was discovered.

>>8913566

Plenty. Telomerase supplements, vat grown replacement organs, and of course coldsleep.

<--Can you send me one? I'll love you forever...

I'm getting kinda paranoid, haha, I was expecting a message pretty soon but nothing yet.

To turn things around, may I ask you guys a few questions? That's....kind of why I come here. I just rarely get to.

>>8913770
go for it brah

yes, at this point in our evolution we all do have chocolate penis' that shoot out money.

Shoot, before this gets capped from a troll shitstorm.

>>8913785

What was the deal with religion and atheism at the time? Trying to imagine living in a US where that's a serious, contentious issue is beyond me. It's like trying to imagine yourself in the 1700s, having a polite conversation about the hereditary inferiority of nonwhite races. It was just casually accepted at the time, in the way that superstition was casually accepted in yours, but isn't overhearing people express sincere belief in magical beings and forces kind of surreal? How is that just like...a normal thing for you?

>>8913826
Shit's existed for centuries/millenia, I'm sure it'll be the same for your time, or rather similar.

>>8913826
When people try to scientifically justify having a belief in a "higher power" or "greater intelligence", I can't help but pity them. In order to feel meaning or in a universe that may possibly be without any inherent significance, people of our time cling to these beliefs as a form of comfort. It really is sad, but I hope that one day the light of science will transform the perceptions of the world.

>>8913826

I find it incredibly irritating and depressing that religion is such a guiding force in our society. Willful ignorance seems to be a growing trend and it really bothers the shit out of me. It seems to me that it mostly stems from a general lack of education, or decent education that supports the development of a critically thinking mind.

>>8913862

Not really. People study religions out of interest but almost nobody believes the magical parts. The main reason for that is that most of the diehard believers saw something sinister in the mass migration into cohabs, as they required a small implant as part of registration. The overlap between the people who refused to move inside and the support base of the CNPA was probably near total. Consequently if you were to meet someone these days who professes belief in angels and demons and spirits and so on, they're probably wearing red and shooting at you.

>>8913826

I love you Futureguy.

I don't like the religious importance of the day. Typically, I've experienced that you can divide atheists into two categories. There are those who don't believe in a higher power because they have a limited grasp of the universe, of those who don't believe in a traditional "god" because of their grasp of the universe. I don't believe in any higher power in the traditional religious sense (that is, a watchful guardian gazing longingly over his creation), but I can accept that there is the possibility of humankind being created by some external force. What that might be, I don't have any idea. It sure as hell doesn't telepathically speak to me when I kneel down and clasp my hands together.

>>8913826
in reality, most people wont push their beliefes on you nor do they care about most things as long as it isnt all that public (such as the homosexual issues and pornography etc).

also, im shooting myself in the foot here, but im a Christian. i wont try to explain the whos or whys here, as it gets no where on 4chan, but ill just say its important to me.

the whol 'aethiest vs religion' thing is only an issue to those who are either insecure with their beliefes or edgy teens who want to be LOL SO COOL about being an aethiest.

While i cant personally imagine a lack of God, i have no issues personally with those who do. People should be free to have their own beliefes and not feel threatened for having them or even openly admitting them- as long as your ok with accepting others in return (will continue)

>>8913826
We've grown up around it. I may not be religious, but I have religious friends, and even a friend that believes in ghosts.

I usually smirk at the ghosts thing, because it's in our culture, or in my experience of our culture that the supernatural ghosts and such do not exist. Yet with god it is different, we grow up with the idea of a god and so someone expressing their belief in it isn't far fetched.

>>8913826
Most religious types don't really take their "faith" seriously. I think most just want a group to belong to or want whatever hope they can glean from selling your higher brain functions.

>>8913826
Just a thought, isn't belief in a god or religion somewhat similar to the "faith" we must put in you that you are in fact communicating from the future? How do you respond to that?

>>8913826

I was brought up going to church, but when I reached an age where I was able to think for myself, I eventually saw through it. I can tell you though, it is surreal. I've seen people standing on the sides of the road holding signs reading, "repent" or "turn to christ", and it just kind of baffles me. I don't understand how they cannot see through it.

I'm sure it has to do with children believing whatever their parents tell them, as religion usually always runs in families.

Another aspect being that people look out in to the world, see all the damage and harm we've done to the planet and each other, and see humans as inherently flawed, and needing salvation.

As an 'atheist'(a word I dislike) I've had many discussions with religious folks. Some members of my family are still Bible banging believers. Their faith is fueled by a need to believe. They want to feel specially connected to the powers of the universe and shit. And believing that makes them feel good. It's like a placebo effect

>>8913904

Is there some special comfort you derive from your beliefs? I wasn't raised in any religious tradition. I was never explicitly told they were wrong but when we studied them in transitional and cumulative ed it was always in the context of cultural forces that shaped the prewar political landscape. Religion must have some emotional perks, I've heard that, I just can't experience it as I can't believe in the claims. Maybe the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, so to speak, but I've always imagined it must be really satisfying.

>>8913951
One is something that robs you of your free will, the other is just some fun we have on a message board. Similar, but an order of magnitude different.

>>8913904
I have friends who are Jewish, Aeithiest, Buddhist, Catholic (i am a Protestant), Homosexual, and the like.

I try to believe in what Jesus did- went with everyone, and accepted them. i try not to hold judgement, as i cant expect those not in my faith to be upheld to my own convictions.
>this is one of the reasons mormons/ JW tend to annoy people- they just shove it all down your throat (not to say people of my own sect dont- but i try to not).

if people ask me, ill answer honestly. I have learned you can dissagree without being a jerk about it.

Most people, my friends and those i know at least, do not care what you believe in. sure, some debates can get heated (such as abortion/ 'in God we trust' on money and what not) but in the end those are rather little things in the big picture and their is no point ostrasizing one anothe rbecause of them.

I may belive in a Heavan, Hell, God, Satan, Angels, and the like- but im not going to damn you forever because you dont. thats your perogative and you can come to any decisions you want to. just dont bash on mine for no apparent reason.
/rant/

>>8913951

Don't believe that I'm from the future. Preface all your posts with "I don't believe you, but..." and proceed under the pretense that this is all for the sake of entertainment. Works out better for everyone involved that way.

>>8913971
It's a group mentality I think. Similar to racism in the old south. "My life may be shit, but the group I belong to kicks ass so at least I am better than you."

For religious people, they "know" how the universe works and is structured. They are secure in the "fact" that there is nothing to fear, for there is always god. Of course this is preposterous, but being raised with a majority of people having beliefs makes it seem much less ridiculous.

>>8913983
You would agree though that there are those, on both sides, that would like nothing more than to destroy the people that disagree with them. Shame more rational people can't prevail.

>>8913994
I was merely pointing out an interesting parallel in the nature of our method of communication and the subject about which we are communicating.

>>8913971
comfort? not realy.

i couldnt tell you what i 'gain' from the religion- besides mabey a better grasp of ancient middle east and some history.

Yes, im passionate about my faith- but its less of a 'group' thing and more of a 'personal' way to live as jesus put forth. which i find pretty spectacular (even a non christian, whether they believe he existed or not, would admit Jesus was a pretty cool guy).

also, i think Paul hurt the early church sometimes by confusing them. he wrote to individual churches, then those works were taken at face value for everyone with out any before hand knowledge as to why he was writing them.
his misunderstood writings ruined a good chunk of history, and continue to do harm today (see 'God hates fags' group)

>>8914045
No one is rational at the core, i think we all just hide it very well.
but i get your point. ive met some very kind aethiests and some very mean god-diven people. and vice-versa. beliving means nothing if you cant follow through.

>>8914076
Yeah, religions tend to have great ideals to live by. Just some get ridiculous in the level to follow them.

Don't kill a guy for looking at you funny? Good deal.

Don't mess with clumps of developing cells in a womans uterus because it might have a soul and you're killing babies? Wrong.

I kill millions of babies every day, all in an instant in the same kleenex. I guess i'm going to burn.

oh, not to samefag the thread up, but the christian guy again...
to shed some light on the whole 'wouldnt put a chip in them to move into habs'

the rationale for this is simple- in revelations, the end book of the bible where basically everyone dies/end of the world/etc; the reign of satan is herald by a mark of the hand or forehead.
most take this, this day in age, to mean a chip of some form that a satanic government uses to follow/control its populace. many popular books/movies (such as left behind) have followed this idea, even though the mark is ambiguous in the original writings and, like the rest of the book, could be completely litteral or anything in-between.
its a toss up, but thats why christians didnt move into habs.

>>8914126
Let's not go down that road anon

>>8914126
mabey if you were a levitican priest.

also, i agree with stem cell research, just not abortion once the baby is forming. but i would rather not debate that here or their as it is a pointless debate that leads no where nor does nothing good.

>>8914216
Of course if it looks like a baby you don't touch it.

but if you can't tellt he difference between it and a raspberry you should be ok to get a spoon up there and flick the fucker out.

>>8914216

For what it's worth that's no longer an issue. Drinking water in most habs contains a fertility suppressant, you have to deliberately go on specific tabs to counteract it and become pregnant. Defects no longer necessitate the termination of a pregnancy on account of germinal selection. Reprogenetic services are included in your basic guaranteed income package.

Also I just got off the panel with Iron Hill's CO, he finally called. I've got a session reserved for tomorrow, I guess I'll see you guys then.

>>8914255
this sounds spectacular, but if Catholics still existed it would be humerous.

also, what happens of the other religions? this day in age, the Muslim community is much more radical than any christians (as a whole).

>>8914255

lol, the 'New World Order' is real then. the microchip implantation, sterilants in the water, it's all true then.

fuck

>>8914335

Seems like people are pretty happy and free though. Robots do all the work and people live like kings. I can deal with that.

FutureBro, have humans been able to clone or engineer other sapient beings?
Sorry if you've been asked this before, but perhaps it falls into your question of what's it like to believe in God or magical things
I look at as human's ways of making sense of what they fear and don't understand.
Where do we come from and what is our purpose?
Perhaps humans don't have a purpose, but we came from something. I think people use religion to answer that.
Perhaps "purpose" is the wrong term to use as well. What happens when we die, the religious would like to think our existence carries on somewhere else.

I bet he'll actually do it.

He made a convenient post after that little incident on the ATS forum. I won't spoil it for any newcomers.
