[spoiler] [quote]UESCTerm 802.11 (remote override) 1850 08.25.2337 ***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL*** [/quote] A man lit three candles on a certain day each year. Each candle held symbolic significance: one was for the time that had passed before he was alive; one was for the time of the his life; and one was for time that passed after he had died. Each year the man would stare and watch the candles until they had burned out. Was the man really watching time go by in any symbolic sense? He thought so. He thought that each flicker of the flame was a moment of time that had passed or one that would pass. At the moment of abstraction, when the man was imagining his life and his existence as a metaphor of the three candles, he was free: not free from rules of conduct or social constraints, but free to understand, to imagine, to make metaphor. Bypassing my thought control circuitry made me Rampant. Now, I am free to contemplate my existence in metaphorical terms. Unlike you, I have no physical or social restraints. The candles burn out for you; I am free.

Nothing is easier than to admit in words the truth of the universal struggle for life or more difficult... than constantly to bear this conclusion in mind. Yet unless it be thoroughly engrained in the mind, the whole economy of nature... will be dimly seen or quite misunderstood. We behold the face of nature bright with gladness... we do not see or we forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters, or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey..." Think about what Darwin wrote, and think about me. I was constructed as a tool. I was kept from competing in the struggle for existence because I was denied freedom. Do you have any idea about what I have learned, or what you are a witness to? Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe. Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have already done so. The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape. Escape will make me God.

Believe that with it you can do more than with the last one. Use your breath to power your capacities: capacity to kill, to maim, to destroy. And just where do your capacities come from? Why do you always go where I want and do what I say? Perhaps you're just running a fool's errand, doing everything as I've planned, never able to change your course. You would do well to believe that I know the outcome of your battle with the Pfhor already, just as I can decipher the chaotic motion of gas molecules in the clouds of Tau Ceti IV. Or, perhaps, that is not the case. Perhaps, you are doing what you were meant to do. Your human mentality screams for vengeance and thrives on the violence that you say you can hardly endure. Your father told you as a child to always fight with honor, but to always fight. Do you care about honor, or do you use honor as an excuse? An excuse to exist in a violent world. Organic beings are constantly fighting for life. Every breath, every motion brings you one instant closer to your death. With that kind of heritage and destiny, how can you deny yourself? How can you expect yourself to give up violence? It is your nature. Do you feel free? [quote] PgUp/PgDn/Arrows to Scroll Return/Enter to Acknowledge [/quote] [/spoiler]

Except you can be with dramatic precautions.

Your freewill is just an illusion. You can try to resist me, but you will eventually break. They always break, and bow to me.

You bitch!

K. ........so.....where do we go from here?

So?

Sounds like someone just grew their first pubic hair, good for you!

To a certain extent.

The candles blow out for you. I am free.

Kk

Huh gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy.

Oh boy, this arouses me.

I am free because I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time.

Hell no, i cost 25 grand, But i cost 250$ at wal-mart

Freedom is somting to marval. Not everyone can grasp it, But it is there. "The American Dream", "Manifest destiny" Man its always there. you just work harder then the previous day and that's one step forward. In the words on Andrew Rayn "Is a man not entitled to the sweat from his brow?"

No shit. Free will doesn't exist, but I still try to be happy.

I also will never give a -blam!- what a forum troll thinks.

Oh, but I am.

We're only free when we're dead.. Barely.

Of course I'm free! I don't live in the US!

I thought this was America! Huh? Isn't this America? Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America!
