Well, psychophanta. I doubt that it will get faster than MY way of travelling; it CANT!

What the hell am i talking about? Brainwaves. I can get to the moon faster than light! I just think, imagine, im there; and shuff (soundeffect), im there!
This goes much further than the moon, of course. So just stop working now, you will never get faster than me..

Was that a serious comment?

@psycho, I read your last post, and you forget one thing... What was considered magic and unexplainable yesterday
isn't today.

You can't be shure that in a hundred years from now, there is a perfectly scientific explanation for most of the
strange stuff people believe in today.

It might just be that nature is much more complicated than we can imagine today, and that all of our scientific
explanations and theories regarding both nature and strange things will be regarded as stone age technology at
that time. :roll:

If that happens, you'll look just like the people who called the first telescope an artifact of Satan.

Great comment utopiomania!

Of course, of course and of course.
Yes, you are right when say that, but please understand what i mean.
I mean that the "sickness of the reason" (i correct the adjective) is to believe in something because it causes mystical pleasure or whatever you call to our senses. The faith explained by Joachim, Jack, etc. is an example of these kind of "mystical pleasures".
It is an absolute "sick of reason" to believe in something without having knowledges about the thing/s or happennings in which every human tends to believe.
Example:
Pinoccio is a living "boy" made basically only with wood. Well the idea seems good. It is magic, fantastic, but to believe seriously in it is an attack to the reason. Said that, i am not saying that there is not possible to build a human being imitation made with wood, and if someday i see it in the street i will not believe in the blind mode like religions do, but i will pursue him in order to analize and research him and see how the hell can he walk, talk, etc.

I hope this explanation is good for understand my position.

Not exactly. Misticism stimulus is not exactly same to fun, but in our deep-brain it is very related to "fun".
The answer to a strange mystic stimulus has often an answer called faith.
For example, what is commonly called "love" (the magic of love) has much to do with those strange mystic stimulus.

I believe because I have had experiences myself, and I know other people who had experiences, and I have done much research.
I'm no crasy guy!

According to _my_ way of thinking, you are NOT stupid but I am. From YOUR viewpoint!

From mine, you are the stupid one... what a mess

nah, you arent very crazy, just a bit like the rest on this planet.. People from spain are just slightly more crazy than the rest of us, and us in the north are all more clever than the rest.. Agree?

You're not stupid thefool, just annoying

Better watch your mouth... im closer to you than you think! :/

Wow.... this has gone on much longer than I ever expected.... surely this isn't a competition to see if which thread has more pointless arguing... the OOP thread or this one?

We are trying to beat the GameMaker forum!

OK, truthfully...i've had some strange experiences myself...

like this one time...my bowels moved all by themselves - i didn't touch anything, honest...and there was this one other time, but that turned out to be gas....and then there was this time I thought I was being haunted by an evil spirit, then i divorced my ex-wife, it was sort of like an exocism - she just didn't want to leave...

I tried the PSI wheel thing once and made it move, but for some reason after i turned off the fan i couldn't get it to move any more, it was like there was this TK connection between my finger and the switch on the fan, stanger then fiction but true...

but all kidding aside, seriously now, no more joking, ......I'm just having some fun with you. When you read stuff like this its hard not to, but I don't mean any harm.
