NOTHING tops timecube craziness.

Theres no game here.

[Dragooble]

more hilariousness if you look in the related videos for that interview!

EDIT: and this. could someone explain to me what THE CONSTANT FORCE TRANSFERRING ENERGY OF DATA MORPHING/SHAPE CHANGING OF BINARY TYPE GLPYH SYMBOLS means?

[ToonyMan]

He's right.

[Jualin]

Did you see the movie Matrix?  Actually the induced night "dream world" is synonymous with the academic religious induced daytime "word world" enslavement of humans. Word has no inherent value, as it was invented as a counterfeit and fictitious value to represent natural values in commerce.  Unfortunately, human values have declined to fictitious word values.  Unknowingly, you are living in a "Word World",  as in a fictitious life in a counterfeit nation - which you could consider Matrix induced "Dream World". Can you distinguish the academic induced "Word World" from the natural "Real
World"?  Beware of the change when your brain is free from induced "Word World"
enslavement - for you could find that the natural "Real World" has been destroyed.

What? I... I don't understand.

Is it bad that I think I might somewhat understand that statement?

For those that wish to see a structure of guess-work laid out, there's the below spoiler.

Did you see the movie Matrix?

Yes.

Actually the induced night "dream world" is synonymous with the academic religious induced daytime "word world" enslavement of humans.

I believe what he is trying to say here is that the logical structure of the Matrix proved a cage to the people living in it, like Neo at the beginning of the movie. What he is trying to relate this to is the structure of our every day lives, in which religions and languages represent a large portion.

Word has no inherent value, as it was invented as a counterfeit and fictitious value to represent natural values in commerce.

I assume he assumes that they have no value without the meaning we bring to them by logical structure. By which I mean our language seems like cute squeaks and our religions would seem quaint at best if observed by an alien from another world. Thus, something like "F*** YOU!" would be taken as a sign of affection. Somewhat like when dogs bare their teeth.

Unfortunately, human values have declined to fictitious word values.

He believes that these structures of logic are all we are becoming or have become.

Unknowingly, you are living in a "Word World",  as in a fictitious life in a counterfeit nation - which you could consider Matrix induced "Dream World".

Now he is outright stating the parallel he drew earlier between language, religion, and the Matrix.

Can you distinguish the academic induced "Word World" from the natural "Real World"?

He's asking if we can draw a line between our logical structure and the inherent qualities of an object. Perhaps, more specifically, being able to see a rose not just as a rose of such height and weight, but also what it means to you personally.

Beware of the change when your brain is free from induced "Word World"
enslavement - for you could find that the natural "Real World" has been destroyed.

Here he means that by applying a logical structure to everything, we may forcing everything to bow to that structure instead of the other way around, destroying any unique qualities we might have seen before in that object.

I believe he foolishly attributes to logic what apathy and a desire for control excels at.

It's sorta like Plato's Cave.


EDIT:  Actually, it is!

[Kagus]

Yeah, I had a philosophy class where the teacher handed out some papers drawing correlations between the Matrix and various philosophical schools of thought.  Simulacra Simulacrum featured prominently, and we had to read Plato's Cave.

But that doesn't make this guy any less of an idiot.

[ToonyMan]

You're all just afraid of the TURTH.

[Jreengus]

The Turth is pretty scary, I heard one guy caught a Turth and kept it in a cage. Everyone who went into the room it was in died of fright.

The Turth Machine?

[Jreengus]

Did I totally miss some kind of reference?

[Jualin]

Did I totally miss some kind of reference?

If you did, that makes two of us.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Three.

[ToonyMan]

Oh the humanity!

[Glacial Eidolon]

I wish I could douse him with green flame while shooting wasps out of my eyes, subsequently hovering in between reality and pure, unadulterated chaos, while the pronunciation of Cthulhu's name whispers in the background and Dwarf Fortress is won in the background without cheating. All this would be on a constantly shifting, chameleon-like background with epilepsy-inducing lights and the screams of souls echoing to a chorus singing a lyricless song, and a purple gaseous face hovers in the background, mocking his every action. Horrors from beyond reality would assail his very sanity while I donned a world-crushing gauntlet and destroyed reality's very essence. The horrors from beyond would then tear what little remained of his puny, ignorant mind into small fragments, free to drift into the nothingness for ever... and ever... and ever... and ever... Time would fracture, and everything - every little portion of light - would be extinguished...

Oh, right! We were discussing Timecube, then? My apologies: I got a little carried away.
