I have chosen something that is very hard for me: to give up all symbolic forms of art, not the consumption, but the creation. I have decided pure rational pursuits are my desired goals because my desired trades are from those who have chosen only art (I'm not calling art unreasonable). My currency, besides my work & money is adventure. I understand that to pursue this path with my full dedication will probably bring about a destruction of values. I'm doing with the full knowledge that I am a double-destroyer. I wanted to say this, and have realized why (while typing): I want to be the best. Many can be the best, but if you're not the best, you're the worst.

how to judge: the means are either 1.statics/mechanics (architect) 2. structural analysis (soft engineering) 3.Roark's formulas for stress & strain (limit of what I think a person can use) 4. Finite/Boundary methods (computerized) they deal with vibrations from earthquakes, wind; and stresses from the soil. So what's interesting is that a person who sells-out a building, like a performer who sells, do they keep their ability to churn out the garbage? do they make mistakes afterwards? And a way to look at a structure if, say, there's 1 good room, is there a mathematical formula for what comes around the room? Is the next best part as isolated as possible? I'm sorry i just love architecture i guess this is about the law of stolen causes you see this in bands all the time whose first record was no good, there's a few in middle (but they're really dark or something), and they go back to what they were I actually refer to this as being "plugged into the source" what is the source? I've never been able to figure it out & it seems some people when plugged into don't churn out even better stuff (but maybe that's just my personality) but I do regard "plugged into the source" when not deserved always has a tiny watermark I saw some guy become plugged before my very eyes, his personality changed forever. He proceeded to write a decent amount of music with incredible energy embued. Only one song was good, and it was DAMN good. Then he lost all his confidence after highschool & when i asked him about the song he said he had been ashamed and deleted it forever. (around the time period of the incredible song, actually there was a band a year before THIS: he read both The Fountainhead & Atlas Shrugged. from the moment of the change his energy accelerated, it's almost as if I've watched people become REALLY kinetically energized; it just sucks I guess because that energy is simply destroyed. I guess it shows Objectivism isn't going to improve all people; which is why i'm here he said he didn't really understand The Fountainhead It'd be understood here that I was this guy's anti-bully defense, he expressed himself to his friends but through his friends to+/and through his work and it destroyed him; he went from popscreamo to lite jazz programmed music the key here is what was the psychological break that led to him wild demise and led him to selling out his work by letting it go around a highschool that a certain song "who let the orcs out" was about a certain girl. I wrote a song in a band about a certain certain girl (never released) but we keep it to the grave. I've always held "never reveal your inspiration" unless it's to who it's about.

I think a person's own style is dependent on their other accomplishments. Two people of equal ability create two buildings on the same site, they'll be different. They'll be equal.

I have come across a scientist who (r.i.p.) has ideas that will revolutionize science (i believe). The problem is no-one has replicated the experiments in decades, so it seems. I'm not asking for money; these experiments would be quite cheap. But they, according to logic & my reason could unify physics & chemistry. I also have a hypothesis for a galt motor which I intend to pursue The reason I didn't just post this is because I wouldn't want this in the wrong hands, so we shall vote.

I, -The Meson Factories -Introduction to Stereochemistry -The Mossbaur effect -Positron Annihilation -Low Temperature Superconducting Crystals It's just a start I guess for upper level physics

well for me, I was stuck writing music because no moment is to waste on the day I met my best friend (to this day) 23 years ago. I was going to be a paleontologist. But on that day I decided I was going to choose between art & physics because physics used materials and i couldn't bind him to life I chose art. I didn't choose music as such but as we waited I composed a tune. I composed it to be musically good and through that I realized it was the INTENTION that determined the sound. He & I are very different and it shows in our music taste but the GREAT songs we AGREE are GREAT. and what's even more astonishing is we can choose music the other would like

In the case someone has STUMBLED upon this forum i will state that some homo sapians are infact not man, they are animal. But the reason I'm posting is because I saw in my imagination exactly that man is complementary. Nature was never a problem, those creators through history the philosophers, scientists, doctors, and artists were KILLED. I just want to emphasize that now I see this with my emotions. I acknowledge I have to pay for this post but I never bought the bromide I have to die, and neither do you as long as you remember it is every being's right to choose to die.

well it's really that the soul is connected to the body, as long as it has no body, it is not alive. But she was scoring her importance on the world

I don't understand the studies, were you mad you had to learn compositional styles? I hated all the rote-memorization music courses I've taken, in my youth i would play my own written parts secretly in the orchestra. I love my own music and i believe music is universal, a response to physiological responses and this goes DEEP. I used to judge my songs on popular opinion of the BIRDS outside my window, whether they would go bonkers. And the more ethical a song, the more they liked it. My last bandmate I broke off ALL contact with because he claimed music was NOT objective. I knew only then that the response in your mind IS. and he listens to my music today! but I have given up music for my more preferable purposes, despite the fact I have garnered the attention of a forbes list producer/musician. I've even written songs with birds. You can probably watch the body of a person and decide if music is for one to the other

"It is not I who will die, but the world that shall perish"

One day we the living will find another extra-terrestrial species. A species that travels through the cosmos is by definition peaceful. But to find one that has not yet escaped compulsion demands action. We will need every bit of right action (think,judge,act,feel) to save the good ones. Which leads me to my point: there is god and devil on earth. Some devil is having sex with others who have sex with others until it stops when the prime movers say “NO.” I AM A PRIME MOVER AND I RECOGNIZE OTHER SUCH EQUALS. I WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH SECOND-HANDERS. I AM A MAN AND HERE ARE MY NEW RULES: I can touch a second-handers body but they cannot touch mine. Not in the selfdefense term but sexual. The collective consciousness on earth take shape!

draw and measure image in isometric. choose point and insert plane to encompass all points. use trig from focal. I assume for a better image you choose more points but there is a mathematical way which i dont know to perfection. cone of vision is 60 degrees total

in our modern world, turning over an invention to the people and consequently the government is suicide. but there's not other ways to get funding than investors you pay back. What should I do?

i cant choose, i must love LIFE

I was in correspondence with the writer and the guys name is Patrick and he lost his charisma the writers saw him in the library and thought he had gotten a girlfriend this was in 2007

credit: Habit (user @ rsdnation.com) & other users: An LTR of mine has this friend. We'll call him Prophet, because the first time I met him I could have sworn I was talking to the messiah. This guy is the PERFECT AMOG. He's not a muscled out meat head. He's not a loud and obnoxious "friend". He's not the good looking natural. He's a below average looking applied chemistry major who barely says a word. Yet AS SOON as he enters into a room, for some reason, ALL the attention goes to him. The room could be full of some of the greatest naturals, and as soon as he walks in they and all of the chicks they were gaming would IMMEDIATELY start qualifying themselves to him. This man has the strongest frame in the world. You can't tell a story in front of him without it turning into you qualifying yourself. I'll be talking to a girl, telling a funny anecdote, when all of the sudden: Me: And so there I was... Prophet: (from across the room) And then what? Girl: Yeah, and then what? Me: Surrounded by people looking at me with the greatest expression of awe... Prophet: Sounds fun Girl: Yeah, Prophet's right, it sounds fun... Me: twitch You can't tell a joke without him somehow getting "credit" for it by merely doing you the service of laughing at it. I was at a bonfire a few weeks ago with a big group of people. High value people too. Skin Industries models, dancers, etc. We're in the middle of having a crazy time when all of the sudden everyone's conversation stopped because Prophet brought up how cool it was that the soda cans were turning into aluminum oxide when he threw them into the fire. Everything stopped for a good 20 minutes while he talked about how awesome it was. This wasn't to chem majors. This was to Skin Industries models.... The worst part is, he does this all subconsciously. I can't even really put my finger on what he does. He just steals ALL the attention in the room by sheer power of presence alone. Lucky for everyone, the guy's not a closer. He COULD be swimming in women, but it ACTUALLY SEEMS LIKE WOMEN ARE BELOW HIM. Trippiest stuff ever. Anyway, so I OBVIOUSLY don't really like being in the same city as this guy, because he's INSANE to compete with. He won't pull, but if you are in the same room as the guy you are not getting any attention. Normally my strategy was to Amog as subtly as I possibly could, or just try to out-awesome him with self-amusement, but it never really worked. That changed when I went down to my mLTR's university over the weekend. I show up, see my mLTR, and give her a big hug. Me: "You HAVE to hear about my trip down here..." mLTR: "Sweet, you can tell me and Prophet!" Me: "Alright!" In my head: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! So I start telling the story, and AS SOON as I walk into the room it's somehow reframed as me qualifying myself to Prophet. It affects her too. At every punchline she looks to see if he's laughing. He is. With his implied permission, she laughs. Try as I might, I fall deeper and deeper into his frame. By the end of two hours we are both sitting there listening to him make jokes about Edison's childhood and both laughing even though neither of us get it. Goddamn. This guy's good. She brings up how he has a date that night. He talks about how he's too hung over to do anything. Wait. What? My frame comes back. If I were in his shoes, I'd be on that girl so fast she wouldn't know what hit her. Me: "Call her up." Prophet: "Sure." (Man of few words, that asshole) Me: "You're just saying that. Do it, I'll watch." Prophet: "I don't even remember what she looks like." Me: "I'm sure she was CRAZY HOT dude. CRAZY HOT." Attentions back to me now. I'm the one leading. I'm the one giving advice. He's the inexperienced one here. Score one for me. Later that night while my mLTR (I went down there for her, so I wasn't worried about my female options that night. I decided that I would learn as much about subtle Amogging as I possibly could) was showering before a big party, Prophet and I sat and chatted. I saw his frame grow a bit weaker as I sat and watched silly youtube videos with him. Anecdotes were shared. I was qualifying myself to him less and less in his frame. I was still IN his frame (there's no escape. His frame has the strength of a black hole.) no doubt, but not as deeply. We go to the party. I have fun opening sets, he has fun being the center of attention (as always). We get to talking. He starts going on about pressurizing the keg (which was broken, at this point). All eyes are on him as he speaks about how pressure works and how interesting this is (weirdest thing ever. Seeing 8's 9's and 10's get doughy eyed from a physics lecture). I, in my drunken state, have had enough of this. His frame is SUPER strong. These girls are looking at him like he's a GOD while he barely acknowledges them and lectures about PHYSICS at a FRAT PARTY. PHYSICS!!! I can't take it anymore... Me: "Prophet?" Prophet: "Yeah?" Me (with a tiny little smirk): "Shut the fuck up" He gives me a look similar to one I'd give if I saw a little green man with seven eyes walk into my room and take my stuff. It was SO FAR outside his reality, SO FAR outside of anything that happened to him in his life, that something snapped inside of him. I held my eye contact. He shuts up. I start talking. He starts listening. Soon we're opening sets together. Self amusing together. Getting hyphy together. By the end of the night, we were the best of friends. I didn't do anything to the guy's frame. I just removed myself from it. I did something SO FAR outside of his reality that I just removed myself from it. Lessons learned: Amogging is not a matter of being loud or funny. This guy is neither. You can get a room full of girls doughy eyed and wanting to fuck your brains out by talking about hydraulic pressure. If someone has a strong frame (I mean GODLY), you HAVE to break through it. Anything you do will be inside their reality unless you do something so FAR from their reality that they have no choice but to look at you in a different light. Talked to my mLTR the next day. mLTR: "Thank GOD!" Me: "Eh?" mLTR: "I'm glad you and prophet became friends. It was either that, or you guys were both going to become arch-enemies." Me: "It was pretty close to the latter..." mLTR: "You should have seen you two together. Both of your personalities were amplified exponentially. All the eyes in the place were on the two of you. It was really cool. I've never seen anyone retain their individuality in front of him. But you two are such unique people, watching the both of you was like watching something historic happen..." That was a pretty cool little speech. It made me realize how far I've come. The guy is generally regarded as a God on Earth for some reason wherever he goes. People are constantly raving about how different this guy is. How one day, he'll rule the world (I don't disagree). Being put on that level is something that never would have happened a year ago. Thanks guys. It was combative out of envy and the fact that in the months that I've known the guy, it's been impossible for me to maintain ANY semblance of frame around him. Basically out of the fact that every time the guy talked, his frame immediately took over. It's like when you play a videogame against a friend who repeatedly owns your ass. But you can't put down the controller. Just over and over again "Damnit, damnit, damnit, damnit". Quote: LOL prophet stole the attention again! Hahahaha, Goddamnit! Quote: i don't want to meet him. ("prophet") i think he's an over-rated d-bag and all these people are hypnotized by his bullshittery. Until you meet him. You'll probably still hate him. You'd do your best to prove that you were above his "bullshittery". And then you'll find yourself qualifying yourself to him. Or you'll find that you're being totally ignored because you're the jerk that's trying to tool him. It's one of those "seen to be believed" things, but me and my mLTR joke about it all the time. The only people I've EVER seen hold their frame around him is the single GREATEST natural I know (I joke about how he's going to be president, and prophet's going to be the one pulling the strings behind him) and Prophet's best friend, who is on par with Prophet, but in a different way (the guy speaks like he's retarded, is below average looking, cracks jokes that don't make any sense at all, and is constantly surrounded by women...wtf?). Quote: I loved this story and way you prospered. Any insights on the way Prophet talks, moves, acts? Does he act by those 25 (I believe) rules about body language? Reply With Quote Just looked over them again. I've never seen the guy actively try and pick up a girl. So some of those points don't apply. All the ones that talk about body language hold true, but to such a crazy point of congruence its not even funny. However, he doesn't speak in a loose or relaxed tone. His tone is consistently a strange mix of a VERY businesslike vocabulary and tone, and his own strange language and quirks. He speaks with a HUGE vocabulary, excessive curse words, Ebonics, and valley-girl phrases. Thuriel, you've got it. This guy isn't a personality, he's a PRESENCE. As for the big frame eats small frame, I PRIDE myself on having a big frame. Before I ever even got into this stuff I was all about frame control (though I didn't really know what I was doing at the time). This guy has a frame the size of Jupiter... nothing stands in its path. Everyone else gets sucked into his reality so hardcore that if you fall outside his reality, you are IGNORED by everyone else. li0n, sorry, you don't got it.... The thing is that it comes from NOT TRYING (building, as you put it). I've never seen him TRY to do ANYTHING. The man just IS. Algeristo, you'll be hearing more of this guy. I got my car back, so I'll be going out more. Now that I can hold on to my frame in his presence, I think he'll make a few cameos in some FRs of mine. It's funny. My mLTR has just as much fun examining the social matrix as I do (reason number 267 she's my primary LTR), and she's constantly cracking up at the guy's sheer presence. She told me a story about how she went to a party with the guy, and by the end of the night, everyone was speaking in a strange Businesslike tone with ebonics, curse words, and valleygirl speak thrown in liberally by the end of the night. The entire place fell into his frame and started subconsciously emulating him... Wow, necro-post... Anyway, sure, why not? Since that night (it'd be about four months ago, maybe more) I've gotten to know the guy better. Not a lot better, but better nonetheless. He lives in San Diego (I live in LA, moving to SD in a month) so I don't see him often, but when I do, I gain more and more insight into him. Someone recently PMed me about this post, so I'll copy paste and elaborate a little bit more. PM in normal font, elaborations in bold. --------------------------- I gotta say that I refuse to post pictures of the people I tell my stories of over the internet. Last thing I want is someone to know that I'm talking about them. Not only that, but I've made a few enemies since I started up here, some that I know for a fact are into "the community". I'd hate for someone to click on some pictures that I put up of a crazy night and see that it was his long-time one-itis that I got with (A community guy I know has one-itis to the max over HBEx, from my latest field report. You can understand how that stuff would get messy). So yeah, sorry, but on principal I just don't want to put stuff like that online. I can, however, tell you more about him as I've gotten to know him a bit more. He's just the perfect example of someone who lives in his own reality. As such, sometimes people's RAS won't even go off about him (Brought him to a party in my social circle, no one paid him any attention (I'll say this. Their RAS's didn't go off around Prophet, but Prophets RAS didn't go off around them either. He just flat out acted like he was in an empty backyard. Barely even acknowledged anyone there)) and sometimes people will go crazy over him (the guy, once he starts talking, holds court like none other). Fact of the matter is, the guy has a few qualities that make him such an interesting person. First off, he's absolutely brilliant. He won federal funding to do science experiments with when he was fourteen. At the same age, he won what is tantamount to a Nobel Prize for under-eighteen year olds. Second off, he's a character. I went to a concert a few months ago with the guy. He pulled out a small vial from his pocket. "What's that?" I ask. "100% pure ethanol. I stole it from the lab. It's basically 200 proof alcohol. We use it making bomb tests. I use it to get fucked up." He proceeds to drink the entire vial. "Nothing feels better than getting fucked up off chemicals you stole from the state". Needless to say, he's an interesting human being. Third, he's in his own reality, completely and 100%. If he doesn't like the track of conversation, he'll simply stop talking and zone out. If you say something to tool him, he doesn't even hear it/get it. If you say something he doesn't find funny, he gives you no courtesy laugh. All these combine to make someone who, at their best, Lords over parties with funny stories and a strange sense of humor that you can't help but be captivated by because you recognize his brilliance. I have to, on the other hand, warn you. Like most brilliant people, there's a bit of a dark side. His social skills are like an on-off switch. He's either absolutely lording because people are completely drawn into his reality or he's a creepy social outcast because he doesn't give a damn enough to give in a little bit to other people's reality. He suffers from cripplingly low self-esteem, so while he can lord like a motherfucker, he never closes. He's stoic and cool, but this is partly because he never lets any form of emotion out. If he's pissed that you disrespected him, the anger just waits inside him forever and eats away at him. So as I said, there's a darker side to it too. He's someone to be learned from, not necessarily someone to emulate. He's a completely fascinating human being and a shining example of certain aspects of RSD, but he's also a shining example of what happens when you take these things too far. Anyway, that's just what I've gleaned since I've started my friendship with him. Hope that gives you some more insight. ------------------------- I have to emphasize that this guy is NOT A NATURAL in the attracting women sense. He is simply the greatest AMOG ever because, totally naturally, people get sucked into his reality. People ask how they can be like him, but it's not something that you can set your brain to. The strong reality, I think, is a side-effect of his sheer genius. It's one of those "genius and insanity go hand in hand" things."

Tangential and this post should probably be its own topic but whatever you can look up chemistry experiments done under a torsion balance and they got waves that were not electromagnetic and also this combines all three if we were to create a catapoltic chamber however tall in the shape of an upside down parabola with an accelerator at the top we could probe gravity in particles

So basically I think we should check Quantum field Theory using Schrodinger's equations via exotic atoms obviously there is so much to do but on the other hand really interesting would be organic molecules those would be key to this I think and I've also got a story one time at a Natural Science Museum I overheard a conversation where a guy said science was dead we've reached the limit because the Schrodinger equation can't be used it's too hard well you know they say the same thing about roark's formulas for stress and strain so anybody with full knowledge of physics want to chip in and we'll go all the way we'll keep our own papers or whatever I don't really know what we'll do with them

It's like Tesla he didn't actually go insane he was leaving an integrated Legacy 3 6 9

in the time of the movie only the character of Toohey wouldve been a hero. In the movie Dominique was Katie, Gail was Gail, Peter Keating was the other peter keating. Only Robert Douglas was the hero & he knew it

lithium bicarbonate lessens my needed sleep to 4-6 hours if i don't drink alcohol. it takes a month to kick in & you need blood draws or it can get toxic

thanks! This Thread is getting a lot of views that's a good reason to engineer and put in perspective like Frank Lloyd Wright's perspective drawings

I believe these buildings can be built with truss webs holding up the top heavy parts you want to save the trees down below so iterates outwards sometimes you have to lay support columns that span all the height of the building but the foundations are underground slabs with piles or Piers connected if necessary to counteract the moments it should work because some soils are 1/10 the strength of steel and if you make the foundation deep enough because f equals Ma You use the lighter materials on top My building philosophy it's not to do anything too freaky it's supposed to be livable space the freaky stuff is turned into furniture but I realized that if a building is different it is also a tool to the intellect
