Indeed, with each solution often comes new problems... I definitely agree with the novelty argument -nods-

Btw - No mail from you Pix?

I just emailed you like a minute ago so let me know if you didn't get it (as I couldn't get the automatic email to work right and thus had to improvise, so I'm only hoping it made it to the right account).

I just typed a long reply and lost it all because I forgot to fill out the username/ password. I will try again later.

I liked the video.

I'm just worried now. I wonder if striving for any sort of "Utopia" is impossible? Must we make do with the current system where the wealthy stay wealthy.

(This was all I had saved that I had typed. I went on to expand how the current system isn't fair, and it does not allow anyone who wants to climb up to do so, and how I believe the Venus Project to be a good idea but have to question it, but maybe there is still another way to live in a better world without becoming too much like Star Trek?).

I like the film "Avatar".

Aww too bad LTT

For long posts I always use a word pad or something, as the boards can glitch and one loses their lengthy reply.

My opinion is that there will always be an underclass, and if things continue as they are it will be replaced by Machine-Ai. Then later we will question whether we should enslave these AI who do all our dirty work. If we can prevent them achieving sentient thought, such would be best.

Otherwise we are back to square one in this crazy game.

The Vesus project is interesting, are they still going ahead with the proto-type city in South America?

These words came to me while meditating with a crystal.

Echanted garden

Long ago,
In a time forgotten.....
Nature, dancing
Singing
Flowing into one.

In clear streams
Fishes, jumping
Playing as they swim
At changing colour
In sequence.

The trees, the birds
And every creature

Sings to another;
Symbiotic exchhange;
A dance of creation,
of energy
In joy.

As time went on,
The once etheric beings
Experimented; explored;

To experience,
as if more
and more

Seperate, individual.

Until in time,
They began
more and more
to forget

Their true nature;
Their interconnectivity.

Fear came into being
Where there was love.

Do we want to feel love?
Or do we want to have fear?
Do we wish to suffer?
Or have joy?

I have known joy
And I have known pain
So cry to the universe
To make us whole again.
If we want to remember,

Then we need understanding,

To see through our walls;
Imaginative constructs.

If only we could see;
And feel;
Each others feelings.

Then empathy and love
Would be law in itself.

Be nice if they showed the full episodes, but they show enough to make them worth watching.
