Reminds me of a video.

You should post more frequently to change the outcome.
It suddenly occurs to me, maybe the most possible method to have Gundam, person piloted giant robots,
Would be to have the story focus on a group of 'tiny aliens, maybe mouse or ant sized?

@Lemming
Extensive use of GUND-ARMS resulted in pilots being crippled or even killed. In response, the Mobile Suit Development Council, led by the top mobile suit development companies, ordered an entire permanent ban on the GUND Format and all its applications.
In some forms of fictional magic, parts of a person are used as a medium of sorts.
Whether voodoo or tracking.
I suppose science can be similar in some ways.
Fingerprints can be used for tracking people, or allowing access through locked doors.
Some viruses and diseases, effect people of certain genetics more.
Dogs can track based on scrap of person or clothing.
People have talked about giving robots a sense of smell.
Knowing someone's true name,
Knowing someone's name and address,

You are just short of suggesting identity theft.
I often wish food companies had to identify their products by each new change,
When changing the method, quality control, ingredients, proportions, something or other,
Should declare and admit it to be a new version, a new product.

Eg adding more salt or over frying it could change the outcome totally.
It'd be kind of interesting if RTS games showed where other players were looking.
Maybe like in BFME2, an eye of Sauron for every player, always active and directed wherever each players camera is.
Course, might take away from some steath tactics in RTS.
Eh, just add an ability to hide the eye now and then.

That would be cheating.
I’ve been accepting debates when no one else does.
May as well take the free wins…
Doing so also just keeps record of the random passerbys.
Chess is a hard game. I should’ve quit while I was ahead today. I caught a few losses and then lost another out of tilt.

You’re a nihilist, huh?

I never cared much for Gundams.
I do like a lot of Transformers stuff.
Don’t mind me, just finding stuff to post to get this thread to 2,000 posts.
Why? Idk. I feel like it.

I like this thread. I think subconsciously I wanna give this thread a status it deserves. Perhaps a little strange to feel attached to some thread, but you know what? I like my cozy little internet spaces.

I did end with more wins than losses tho :)

@Mharman
That is the same random thought you had before. You are just repeating yourself.

@Shila
I don’t care.

@Mharman
Often, negative thinking comes from things like past experiences, anxiety, depression, or even just habit. It can feel like a cycle that's hard to break, but it's possible to shift the mindset with some effort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be super helpful in challenging and changing negative thoughts.
"You’re a nihilist, huh?"
Yeah, but it's a pretty vague label.
"I never cared much for Gundams.
I do like a lot of Transformers stuff."
Eh either way, giant fighting robots.
I mostly post here so my account stays on the Most active members spot.
Why bother with an mmo when someone else holds your character and world hostage?
No offline play, changes to game.
Might be interesting if one could retire their character to an offline game.

You must treat this as your daily exercise to stay fit.

It's a funny thing when literal Gods get into one's. . . Pantheism?
Well, the Atheistic Pantheism anyway, always so many variations of ism.
Though maybe the Greater Good is more akin to Taoism or Confucian beliefs?
Albeit again, the Atheistic versions.
Course from what little I've read, Taoism seems more like a riddle than clear cut,
And Confucian-
Well, I don't actually know much 'about religions, just 'of them in general.
Idealism?
Ideal more specifically one's ideal, not the other meaning that implies unrealistic pursuit of.
. . .
Heh, then at some point people perhaps argue, don't get your religion in my political ideology.
-->
@Lemming
You admit you read little and you don’t actually know much about religion. That is an unrealistic pursuit of religion mixed with your political ideology.
I don't have a strong view of the visuals used for the YouTube videos.
Gives people something to idle watch I suppose as they listen, if they are looking at the video.
I think it'd be better to do just a slideshow of pictures, related to whatever is being mentioned every few seconds or minute.
But admittedly such would probably take more time.
And I don't much care 'what is shown in the video, since I'm just listening to it.
I suspect some videos do better 'with relevant pictures though.
I'd imagine various video game clips were chosen because videos with black blank screen do worse than video game clip.

Nihilism is self-contradictory.
Anyway, what's the difference between nihilism and subjectivism?
-->
@Mharman
Short answer,
I don't know.
Maybe they're the same, rough enough,
In some of their variations.
I wouldn't be satisfied though, in labeling myself in Subjectivism, rather than Nihilism.
Long answer,
Apparently a bunch of unhinged ravings.
I'd not bother reading it, I don't manage to pull it together into anything coherent 'enough.
Yet it stays with me, and as I've thought it and typed it, I may as well post it.
. . .
I agree Nihilism is self-contradictory,
And I think Nihilists continue to live despite Nihilistic conclusions or beliefs, because it doesn't matter in a way.
Human going to human.
I don't know the difference between Nihilism and Subjectivism.
. . . I'm not even 'quite sure how to define them, but one 'has to label themself.
Perhaps Nihilism is more self aware?
And Subjectivism is more recognition that people will hold different views and values based on their position?
I assume however that Subjectivism can still assume there is a 'correct Moral position, some people will just believe the wrong position?
. . .
Hm, history. . .
We often cut people in history slack, for actions or values of their time, as we understand the effects of Nurture.
They were a good person (For the time period they lived in)
Moral Subjectivism, might still assume there to be a "correct" or "superior" morality?
. . .
I made a comment on a debate about Pantheism recently,
As soon as good, evil, harm, meaning, oughts, ideals, morality, ethics, truth. Pop up,
Rather than expected to occur, or consistent with framework of a subjective system.
I think Burden of Proof often pops up as well.
. . . Moral Subjectivism. . . Makes the claim that there are many moral positions, and that they are all valid within themselves?
Even if they are opposed by other moral systems, they are still valid?
While Nihilism might argue none of them are valid, and that it is an illusion?
. . . I 'think even Moral Subjectivists 'do tend to fall into habits of acting, saying, and 'assuming they are Objectively correct?
Humans are habitual creatures, very fond of norms, established rules?
Nihilism I suppose is a frustration at the contradiction?
A continued awareness of the void?
. . .
A person might say slavery is wrong,
B person might say slavery is right,
Moral Subjectivism, slavery is both right and wrong.
Nihilist, might say they cannot both be right,
What you are describing is an individuals 'acceptance of the concept.
What you are requiring is a contrary to humans.
Something cannot be right simply because it matches with what you want.
You cannot be 'Righteous with your belief when it means no more than it's opposite.
You cannot fight against slavery and against torture, cannot claim it 'Right, when you admit the opposite is also Right.
THEY CANNOT BOTH BE RIGHT!
Even if we will end up acting and often thinking as if the path we choose is right.
. . .
In his heart, the Moral Subjectivist takes an action and says even though this is dependent on my beliefs, it is right.
In his heart, the Nihilist takes an action and says even though this is dependent on my beliefs, it is not right or wrong.
The Moral Subjectivist attempts Societal Change, The Hypocrite!
This is wrong according to our values they say, but what they mean is this is wrong.
What 'Rightness is in a robot? IT'S JUST F****** ROCKS FALLING IF ITS JUST CODE!
NO! I AM NOT A ROCK!
And so I scream in contradiction, ego, and hypocrisy even in myself.
I think it's Opposite to the human condition, to believe in Subjective Moral Right,
We are built to believe in Moral Right.
Even if we understand Nature and Nurture, and that different people will reach different conclusions.
We are built to believe that Morality truly exists, that it is more than personal opinion.
Yet the F****** truth cannot be escaped when I examine the problem.
There is no morality, only directives.
If even that.
The Nihilism expands, and one doubts the 'classification of anything, cabbages and kings? Word games, meaningless sounds between voids, that never refer to the same.
“Like seeing roasted meat and other dishes in front of you and suddenly realizing: This is a dead fish. A dead bird. A dead pig. Or that this noble vintage is grape juice, and the purple robes are sheep wool dyed with shellfish blood. Or making love—something rubbing against your penis, a brief seizure and a little cloudy liquid. Perceptions like that—latching onto things and piercing through them, so we see what they really are. That’s what we need to do all the time—all through our lives when things lay claim to our trust—to lay them bare and see how pointless they are, to strip away the legend that encrusts them. Pride is a master of deception: when you think you’re occupied in the weightiest business, that’s when he has you in his spell."
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
But there is nothing left when everything is fully deconstructed.
Man cannot live by truth, because truth is meaningless, there 'is no truth,
When we are dead, it is as we never were,
When the final human dies and falls, will it make a sound?
"She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing."
-Macbeth
Some argue that nihilism can be healthy by promoting freedom and personal responsibility, freeing individuals from the pressure of external values to create their own meaning. This view, often called active nihilism, can alleviate anxiety by helping people let go of trivial worries and focus on what they value.However, critics warn that unchecked nihilism can be destructive, leading to despair and a feeling that life is worthless, and that a healthy approach requires consciously creating personal meaning rather than completely rejecting all value.
I don't think we'll ever know for sure if Shila is a chatbot or not. Oh well.
