Holy shit dude...I just had a crazy thought. What if the saviour of humanity ends up being a computer?
It already holds that esteemed position for some, dont be too surprised, the worship has begun and some people are already tools of the digital ;-)
i looked it up and found this: "Archeologists - claim that the Maya began counting time as of August 31, 3114 B.C. This is called the zero year and is likened to January 1, AD. All dates in the Long Count begin there, so the date of the beginning of this time cycle is written 13-0-0-0-0. That means 13 cycles of 400 years will have passed before the next cycle begins, which is December 27, 2012. The new cycle will begin as 1-0-0-0-0. " from what this site i found says, it sounds like december 21, 2012 AD would be pretty much like, or similar to, our Januray 1, 2000. where it was like, the start of a new century.
You remember the doom that happened on Y2K right? I broke a nail on my computer. Damned technology!!!!
I felt completely ripped off by that Y2K bug. You know how much money I put into correctin the technology I used? And stored food and cash and toiletpaper and toothpaste??? OK< I didn't really go through any of that, but I really expected great apocalyptic catastrophic things in the world and some new spiritual reality made manifest. Or something. Instead we got NOTHING. NOTHING!! and all the experts agreed that if things weren't fixed in time there would be huge probleems. Yet, things some were not fixed and nothing happened. Fixed or not fixed. Isn't that funny? lmao
It dont think the Mayans predicted an apocolypse, merely an end of a cycle, like a zodiac sign (if your into that sort of stuff) doesnt mean the end of time, it is supposed to indicate a period relevent to people born under that sign. The computer prediction and Moores law is very similar. We can actually work out, from experience that certain trends in technology can, with foresight, tell us what new information and ways of processing that information will be. What a difference to the world global communication has made, but that could be predicted when the first radio's and telephones were invented. I'm sure there were people breaking nails on that technology when it first appeared and also people with the imagination to see the potentials of it.
well trippin, if a computer saved humanity, the programers would probably get the recognition. rightly so, i say though it is an interesting thought havnt you seen i-robot?
Waste not... Want not. Except with weed. The latter part doesnt apply there. stonerbill I have to ask......its been bugging me for a few days now. Do you know what that saying means? If so, my apologies... if not, the point it makes is that if you are careful with your supply and don't waste it, you will never go without, in other words, you'll never be left wanting, cuz you saved some. The only reason I wondered is that for a couple of years long ago, I did not know that.
Yes it will be the end of the world as we know it but not the destruction of the earth. It will be a birth into a new consciousness and change of value, connections of community and family… but it wont be a instant flash on 2012
Its already started guys. Look around you-older stuff like music is comin back bit by bit. People are changing. 2012 will be a great time to live no matter what happens.
yes but i was inferring at the time that i always want weed, because the phrase "want not" doesnt apply. older stuff like music? what? music has always been around. bringing back music of the decades past is a clear show of why society will never change for the better, with that mindset.
From: The Mayan Prophecies by Adrian Gilbert pg. 211 "As we approach the doomsday year of 2012 which the ancient Mayans prophesied would be the end of the last age, one can only feel apprehension for the future of our Earth. The start of the last MAyan Age was the Birth of Venus, the Quetzalcoatl star on 12 August 3114 BC. On the last day of the age 22 December 2012, the cosmic connections between Venus, the sun and Pleiades, and Orion are once more in evidence. For just as Venus was indeed 'born' on the earlier date, it's rising just before the dawn being heralded by the Pleidaes at the meridian, so it now symbolically goes down on 22 December 2012, Venus will sink below the western horizon and at the same time the Pleiades will rise over the eastern. As the sun actually sets so Orion rises, perhaps signifying the start of a new precessional cycle and symbolically giving birth to a new world age." Can this thread die now?
First of all your name is right, only Idiots Love War. And Second, This is the end Right Here. Second Age Of Aquarius, the second Hippie Revolution will begin.
WOW, that is a VERY strange date indeed! I have been seeing the year 2012 appear more and more in the past few months and my fiance and I were discussing having our first child that year when I'm about 27-28. Strange thing, her birthday is Dec 21st as well! I had no idea about the Mayan calander. My fiance and I know there is something big in our future and we're working on finding out what it is that we're destined to do. I have a feeling the world is going to need repopulation after the year 2010-2012. It wont be everyone of course, but I think many of the earths population may die out. Don't ask why, I just have the feeling... This may sound strange, but I believe, if it's possible, we may need to request the assistance of another civilization. smlchance is exactly right. We humans HAVE always been just as smart, but also just as ignorant as we are now. Although I'd have to say, with all of our new technologies and 'innovations' we are more nieve/cocky now than ever before. As spirituality dies out, people will die out and it WILL start over. To deny the spirit is to deny life. 2012 - New Beginning?
