Nope, i like my shitty drawing.

Lol, you'll see how sore a crotch can be....

You have to save it physically on your disk, if you did do that, try a different browser. Chrome Works for me just fine.

I brought this up because it was super addicting for me, the leveling was extremely slow, which led me to sit for prolonged hours...the horror.

The game was also strongly leaning to bi-sexual, which dripped some decimals on my Kinsey Scale.

A really fun game.

Has anybody played it?

I'm guessing this has to do on the psychology of trust - peer pressure is one powerful example, where a person unconscious forces the conscious mind to "trust" their surrounding peers in a decision, despite wether they consciously agree with that decision or not.

Leaders and oligarchies were the beginnings of utilizing the power of mass psychology, albiet in primitive form, these people were able to sway the mass to their direction.

It is one thing to note however that leadership - hinted upon the trust on a single person, which although powerful is not as powerful as what we have today, which are symbolic systems.

In which, instead of putting our trust a tangible and relatable things such a person, we put our trust in symbols or concepts. Such as "America", "China", "Russia", "India" or "Japan", all of them have thier names & symbols, and although they may have their respective & individual cultures, it is their symbols and names that give them a tangible form.

Instead of a Leader in which you put your trust into, you put trust into a symbol which becomes more than the trust in the success of that symbol - it becomes self-referential - it becomes an identity to which now you will not only support, but protect.

I think that it is important to realize that as irrational as the human unconscious mind might seem, it follows a very predefined & predictable nature seen clearly only through a set of logics and the observation of large numbers. It is a good guess that through evolution, the unconscious was formed not to follow the rules of benevolent morals, mathematics or politics - but of the maximum possibility of survival.

In the end, i think that labeling human beings as "evil" ...is not constructive - it simplifies and ignores the intricacies of human nature, and puts blame on the human conscious without taking into account of the influence of the unconscious and the yet still unknown intricacies of the human mind.

So basically a little bit of both?

Shifting the topic of discussion closer to the topic of the thread, after watching more of The Century of the Self, from my understanding there are basically two competing opinions on the state of human nature:

1. By Sigmund Freud, that people are basically animalistic and need a society and 3rd bodies to keep them in check.
2. That people are inherently good, and that it is their environment and society that forces them to become corrupt/animalistic.

EDIT: removed evil

Lol

So are human beings ultimately not responsible & stable enough as a crowd to decide on majority votes?

If so, is a republic a facade for such a problem or a solution?

This is a great video ~3hs of 4 ep, i recommend watching it all, but my post is about the first episode.

Quick Summary of the 1st Ep:
Edward Louis Bernays was an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as "the father of public relations", and creator of consumerism that we have to this day, founding on the gentle principle of the herding of the masses.

Introduction aside, i think it's important to acknowledge that, as ego-stripping it may be for some, that the knowledge to manipulate the public exists, and has existed long before we were born.

But to get to the point, what surprised me was that Sigmund Freud himself, believed that the concept of Democracy, as righteous as it was, was impossible due to the irrational and uncontrollable beast that resided within man, and was even more unstoppable within large numbers.

Leading to the belief that true democracy could never be accomplished, and that a steady hand, must always be at hand, either behind a party state, a face, a corporation or an unintelligible shadow.

And after watching the first part, i dare so say that i have become a skeptic of the "rightous" and free-willed idea of democracy that we have today.

Can there be even hope for democracy? In this dark and ugly world of man?

Or is it simply a utopia - a fairytale that is only to be believed?

Basically the most "promising" from non-invasivee BCI tech to my knowledge in regards for *input* ( from brain to machine ) would be: MEG
In regrards to *output* ( from machine to brain ) would be a whole different story, i would imagine of using some sort of magnetic fields to stimulate the brain - TMS- and thus produce a predictable and controlled hallucination of the five senses.

A way more cool way of imagining it would be that it would not only be Non-invasive & Portable, but also allow you to interact in the "computer environment" while still having full access in the real environment. You could have something akin to Google Glass, but without the glasses - the image is transposed not into your eye, but directly into your visual cortex, it would be like a thin backwards bracelet that sits snugly on you neck that can be mass produced.

It would be beyond the matrix ( or nerve gear for that matter) because connecting simply allowed you to access the other world without being disconnected from the real one.

You would essensially have 10 senses in total, 5 senses for each world, and you would "focus" on the senses that you would want to feel or be aware of.
Similar to the way that you are aware of your body sitting in the chair and your each individual toes of your feet. You could simply change focus.

It would literally replace computers (aka desktops, laptops, even phones ) a full fledged NIBCI ( Non- Invasive Brain Computer Interface )

I know this is old, but i can't help it.

I'm not so sure...

What is your first language?

I support this, but i think the font needs to be thicker like in the manga.
EDIT: And i think the "i" should not have a top serif thingy - it looks like a "1"
