Keyboards and God
« on: Fri, 24 August 2018, 17:18:33 »
Typing imbues the keyboard with magical powers.


This phenomenon does not require belief or faith.

It is a FACT, that a Master Painter is broken without some form of the Brush.


The Omnipotent Universe in Energetic Equilibrium placed that molecular arrangement of plastic, hair, metal, wood and string in the form of a brush, in a store, serendipitously along the path of the painter.

Whenever the Universe acts in this way, the objects in motion possess divine momentum.

The tradition of gifting tools, from master to pupil, from one generation to the younger represents the Casual-Human-Awareness of this Causality stream.

Here at the Gekha, we encourage new computer-Enthusiasts to envelope themselves in Our-Creed, to delve into the modern and the now.

By all means join the mechanical journey with us and procure a New-Board, but be mindful that the more each keyboard is used, abused, aged, and loved, the stronger its Divinity grows, the greater the potential for that one-board upon a fulcrum to lever the User to Transcendence.

The act of collecting keyboards is independent of Using one.

The Magic of each keyboard grows more powerful through its life long proximity and avid-Connection with its partner, You.



By Holy Decree.. Love Thy Keyboard.

It largely depends on how complete the problem you're trying to solve.

For the majority,  it is pleasure today, pleasure tomorrow..

These are not wrong approaches, but they are myopic.

People of this creed will certainly enjoy more pleasure, having optimized their decisions FOR pleasure,   but they will also meet challenges which the procurement of pleasure does not solve.

Having put all their coins into 1-buff, they will win a battle here/there, but ultimately lose the war.

Cronus (aka Kronos) was the father of the gods.

That sounds like Coreans to me.. so I was right! Korean keyboards are the gods we should all be praying to!

Sure you can. It just means that people will be more suspicious of your work (and rightfully so in some cases).
I proxy anything including keyboards (キーボード / 鍵盤), from both Japan (日本) and China (中國). For more information, you may visit my dedicated webpage here: https://www.keyboards.es/proxying.html

Einstein didn't believe in the God of the Bible or Quran.  Perhaps, an unknown creator, but that's about it.

yes, this is what I have been told too.  When Japan took over Corea they changed it because c came before j in the English alphabet.

Facts prove otherwise. At least as far as academia is concerned.
Either way, if you hold true to the core meaning of your statement - neither can an Atheist* be a "True Scientist"... In that regard, only an agnostic person may carry the title purely.
Further more, a true scientist can not claim that fairies and elves don't exist just as well.

*Atheism is a belief in the non-existence of a god, rather than a lack of involvement altogether (such as in agnosticism).
It certainly is a fine line, and although very subtle - the distinction is important.
I personally think that in most cases, most daily practices are equal among both groups


Edit: Just one more thing I forgot to mention...
Your statement utilizes a somewhat Straw Man approach, perhaps non intentionally.
Just because you are a scientist (as you claim) doesn't quite give you a veto in the matter (or any vantage point really). So stating so, as to imply that your opinion is of superior importance - isn't a valid way to have an argument, or state a statement thereof.
It is simply irrelevant.

Dude, you know this kind of thing happens when you skip your medication.

Sure, maybe not a bearded, vengeful guy in flowing robes.

But I totally don't get why there should be any conflict between science, and the idea that everything in the universe is manifested from a single source of energy vibrating at different frequencies to take on the appearances and characteristics of different stuff, including us. And I hardly think we could be more intelligent than what created us, any more than a clock could be smarter than a clock-maker.

If there's one thing we can be sure of, it's that we don't know a hell of a lot more than what we do know. So So do what you wish, Mr. Scientist, but I'm not about to rule out anything that could be true—especially anything as complex, mysterious and miraculous as the nature of the universe itself.

Isn't the simulation just an updating of the creation concept? Doesn't it come down to whether there is a willful sentient agency or simply natural forces at work?

I guess that could be the overarching gist; that there is something above us. But it's more based on logical reasoning afaik rather than a book or whatever or beliefs.

Basically like a fractal reality; we're a simulation that will eventually create a simulation, and that simulation will do the same and so forth. Who knows where it starts and where it ends. I think it's been said that it's highly unlikely that we're the base reality if that's a true thing. Discussion has also been had about what people are calling ancestral simulations; where we're the past simulation of our future selves (If it is even us) or something to that effect.

I'm a scientist. You can't be a scientist and still believe in an almighty entity.

In high school, I drew a single panel comic titled "The Big Shart Theory" with the caption, "In the beginning, God shat the heavens and the earth", followed by a picture of the planets flying out of a giant butt.

I think that addresses all the concerns between modern science and organized religion.
