Chasm / Re: ForeBears, a film starring Varg Vikernes
« on: April 26, 2013, 05:13:41 PM »there's some samples of the new album. They're not long but it sounds promising. You got to love cheesy ambient music, which I do.

Chasm / the dream thread
« on: April 25, 2013, 01:30:40 AM »
I thought it could be a good idea of having a thread where we can tell others about unusual, scary or significative dreams.
I'll start with one:
Last night I dreamt I was some sort of necromancer. I bent all my will in the purpose of bringing to life a rotting corpse who was in a parallel dimension. The energy involved was very negative. I was like it was twisting and killing my soul. Hopefully, I awake soon afterward.
I thought about some interpretations about that dream. It made me realize that when we are bending life to our Will, it can only turn into disaster, especially for the ''spell caster''. And that creation cannot come from thin air. We can only come with interaction with an other, especially a loved one. Love of life is greater than the will of life, in a way.

I suppose this speaks exactly to my point. Can the media and the public not grasp simultaneously that a person can be a victim as well as at fault? When anyone hints at having sympathy for the bombers they're blasted. Love thy enemy.
Even if they are in some ways victims, why would should be having any sympathy for them?
They didn't belong in this society. They came from an other country with and other culture and mentallity. Why would they didn't go back in their country instead of blowing up another one that they didn't like? They wanted everything. The opportunities of Usa and the cultural background of Chechnya. You can't have both, a least not everytimes. It's why multiculturalism don't work so well. Trudeau almost imply that it's the fault of the host country and not the immigrants. In the case here, what would we had to do to prevent them becoming terrorists? Turning ourselves into a islamic country? Give them free jobs and diplomas?
I can understand about how they felt to some degree and not hate them.
I can give you a parallel; if I am attacked by a ferocious animal, I will not hate it for that, but I will defend myself, even if it get to the point that I must kill it.

Chasm / Re: Liberalism causes terrorism
« on: April 20, 2013, 05:27:51 PM »here's some words from Justin Trudeau about the Boston bombing, who wants to be the future prime minister of Canada.
“Now, we don’t know now if it was terrorism or a single crazy or a domestic issue or a foreign issue,” he said. “But there is no question that this happened because there is someone who feels completely excluded. Completely at war with innocents. At war with a society. And our approach has to be, where do those tensions come from?
“Yes, there’s a need for security and response,” Trudeau added. “But we also need to make sure that as we go forward, that we don’t emphasize a culture of fear and mistrust. Because that ends up marginalizing even further those who already are feeling like they are enemies of society.”
For him the terrorists could be considered as victims.

Metal / Re: Group project: metal esoterica
« on: April 20, 2013, 04:48:16 AM »
here's a few ''metal'' terms that we could do some search. I'm too tired to do it right now.
-(black) sabbath
-pentagram
-(Elizabeth) Bathory
-Golgotha
-the influence of the moon, like in ''freezing moon'' or ''drawing down the moon''
-Murders in the Rue Morgue - from Iron Maiden
«Poe wrote "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" at a time when crime was at the forefront in people's minds due to urban development. London had recently established its first professional police force and American cities were beginning to focus on scientific police work as newspapers reported murders and criminal trials. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" continues an urban theme that was used several times in Poe's fiction, in particular "The Man of the Crowd", likely inspired by Poe's time living in Philadelphia.
The tale has an underlying metaphor for the battle of brains vs. brawn. Physical strength, depicted as the orangutan as well as its owner, stand for violence: the orangutan is a murderer, while its owner admits he has abused the animal with a whip. The analyst's brainpower overcomes their violence.The story also contains Poe's often-used theme of the death of a beautiful woman, which he called the "most poetical topic in the world"»

Chasm / Re: Separating the real humans from the zombies (DeathMetal.org)
« on: March 31, 2013, 11:19:37 PM »Some possible autistic hippie-nazi hybrid finally volunteered to get off his/her/its blubbery neckbeard's duff and link to the death metal underground site on social media.
http://www.reddit.com/r/deathmetalorg/
What is reddit.com? Is it worth it? Is there someone there with enough potential to be interested going to deathmetal.org?
I'm asking this because I feel like the majority of the internet is worthless. What about this site?

You can start a conversation with your workmates by saying:« instead of talking about cultural feces like your soaps, lest talk about natural ones. I bet you didn't know that you could grow vegetables by using your own feces. Well, the carrots I brought you from my house yesterday, they are grown with that technique.»

Chasm / Re: While the West stagnates, China surges ahead in IQ research
« on: March 30, 2013, 07:34:10 PM »Of course there can be wisdom in superstitions, but they have to be considered on a case by case basis.
Christians believe that the reading of tarot cards is of the devil. Of course, there isn't some external spiritual entity that will cause you harm should you use tarot cards, but it is bad mental hygeine to believe the future can be foretold. So, in a way, there some truth in the superstition that tarot cards are evil.
On the other hand, some ancient peoples believed that headaches and other physical ailments were caused by evil spirits. In order to release those spirits, a hole would be drilled in the head with crude stone tools in a process called trephination. I think it is safe to say that this particular superstition is nonsense, as medical science has shown that ailments always have a physical mechanism, and that drilling a hole in one's head is, in fact, harmful.
EDIT:
As for the Christian belief that genetic engineering interferes with God's natural order, that remains yet to be seen. Obviously, the universe doesn't care if we play God. There very well could be catastrophic real world consequences: perhaps genetically engineered individuals will have decreased immunity to disease or something through genetic fluke. Perhaps they won't. But the fact of the matter is, while China is trailblazing what could potentially revolutionize the human race, the U.S. is busy infighting over morality.
I think trepanning made sense in a way. What about brain surgery? We open the head of people to operate in the head. The ancient people weren't far off. They just didn't have the right tools and all our knowledge. And how if they didn't drill the head of the sick, how would we know now it is harmfull? Also, some modern chirurgy is harmful but we are drugged not to feel the pain.
And about predicting the future, you can to some extend. Human nature, both physically or emotionaly is pretty predictable. If you know the past and the present of someone, there is some chances that you will know his future. I don't know about the tarot card, so I can't say nothing about that, but it's really complicated and it deals with a lot of archetypes.
Maybe it's immoral for christians do think about the future because «Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble» Matthew 6:34
About morality about genetic engineering, maybe it's good that someone think about that before we all end up like robots.
Behold the new chinese man!

Chasm / Re: Why am I laughing?
« on: March 30, 2013, 07:05:06 PM »
For me, the heaviness of the metal is like the sound of thunder, an avalanche, a howling wind in the winter or the sound of a fall. It's like the sound of the fury of the nature. Sure, it cannot be compared with real nature.
It's a celebration of that side. It can serve us to be humble in face of it.
I think metal music is only really usefull in artificial suroundings like cities. Because who needs metal when we are facing the real deal.

Chasm / Re: Death vs. Hell.
« on: March 29, 2013, 02:13:02 AM »That's how I mostly see hell. Do you see one after physical death, too?
Yes, if physical death is the end of the human form (body). I think a soul always have some form in a way or an other. If a soul whatever its form, by it a tree, an animal, a rock, has that distortion, he will be in hell. But I doubt by their nature that a tree or a rock have that kind of problem. It's only when a creature grows a head that those type of problem begins to occur. In some ways, they are smarter than humans.

Are you speaking of hell as existing while the body is still animated?
Yes.
