To be blasphemous ...... I`ve watched , heard and read enough mentaly confused bullshit from Terrorist McKenna ........ Time wank zero ( After haveing a nervous breakdown in the jungle , being abandoned by his friends , then his brother and not sleeping for 14 days !!!! )...... and ...... machine elves ( after reading gulivers travells and then smokeing DMT ) ...... and ..... 2012 ( Based on the fuckin I-Ching = fantasy shit = the bored housewife syndrome = Look at me i`m an exoert in something that doesnt exist ) ........  SO ...... Whats it about please ......

To be clear GOOD guy . Thanks Terry for the mushroom cultivation bit ..... BUT ...... the fucker went off his rocker towards the end ........

T.L.S. puts asbestos underware and bullet proof full body condom on and hides in a hole waiting to be shot at.........

Its sunday .SO ------>

Dont want to spoil the party guys ......BUT ....... i had a look and had to turn it off after fighting with myself to watch it for 7.5 minutes . Its utter crap . Nice fantasy stuff and good for people to get stoned and listen to but total bollocks .

A lot of it doesnt fit together and the conclusions that they are talking about dont fit the facts that they are talking about . neither do the things that some people say fit with what others say . This is fact and that is fact and it means this ? Does it ? The film represents what i hate about pseudo scientific esoteric shit .

An example . Just because the amount of knowledge doubles every so often and those periods are getting shorter doesnt mean that one day things wiil go bang and we / computers will know everything and have all the answers  .......Remember each answer leads to other questions .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UH4erOQ43E ....... It doesnt mean that all knowledge has any relevance either ......... AND ....... knowledge isnt answeres ....... AND ...... A fuckin singularity !!!!! what has been said has NOTHING to do with a singularity ? Also trying to imply that the computational power of a computer that keeps increasing means that a point will come where they are intelligent is BOLLOCKS . Whats intelligence ? Just because a computer is "Intelligent" wouldnt mean that it can do anything with that intelligence and doesnt mean that they will take over or we will become obsolete . To do that the fuckers would have to have consciousness and free will . WE decide what they do not them .

The future might look android in one form or another but computers / technology are never going to creep out in the middle of the night behind our backs and decide to get rid of us because we are inferior because they cant think . We build it , we use it , we control it . Again consciousness and free will . Independant decission makeing .Shit ....pull the plug and the fuckers are lost . Tell an intelligent one the we will pull the plug and no matter how much control it has over other computer systems it still couldnt survive without us . Tell a computer to invent a time mmachine and its lost . Tell it to cure cancer and its lost no mater how much information it has at its disposal .

And the one person talks about kinowledge and the next talks about change . More kniowledge doesnt mean more change in life , in us , in the world .

How the fuck does any of what was said and what is happening point to the or an end of time ?

I`m gob smacked my brain and my mouth have gone out of sync because of the amount of bullshit that was shot at me in so short a time so maybe some of what i am saying is suboptimal .

Its typical Terrorist McKenna crap . OK big words and cool formulations ..... BUT ..... does it mean anything ? Has anyone ever read the text of what he said sometimes and then translated it into "normal" english  ? Edited it ? Because if one does a shit load of it is pure blah böah .

Fuck . Scratch head . Bang head on wall . TILT .

Please please shoot holes in what i have said . I probably said it in a crap way because that film took my breath away .

I didn't watch it but I wanted to comment on what Lone Stranger said - I think people who truly don't understand computers and technology mystify it.  There was a quote that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguiable from magic.  That is why people have fears about technology taking us over, they've never spent 18 hours writing a program for the damned thing.  It's a tool not an entity and none of the AI predictions made back in the 80's have ever come close to coming true yet.

If you want some perspective on the 2012 thing go back and read some of the old posts on survivalists forums about Y2K -does anybody remember the end of the world was coming then that all our computers would shut down and major disasters etc.

What most people don't know is that there are a handful of people in any one company or entity that babysit computers and systems and without them most don't run.  So I spent most of 1999 being harassed by Y2K committees and paperwork bs and got to spend New Years Eve 2000 babysitting some computers who didn't so much as hiccup.

If the world were as predictable as some think we'd all be flying in our cars and talking on videophone.  Back in the 70's that was going to be the latest thing - we'd all be talking over live video - instead wireless became the thing.  Video phone is sort of available but not really used much.

Allah-luja.....Thanks Salat

Its still sunday ....... SO ----->

Remember loads of people shitting themselves because of what they feared would happen in 1984 and then when nothing happened people started talking about 1999 and mother shipton then y2k and now its 2012 ? Remember all the nostradamus hysteria any time anything happens <------ EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS ? Every time anything big happens in the world that books sales go up and people point at the same passages and say they relate to the present  ....... the guy predicted ..... NOTHING ....... he left a bunch of blah blah behnd to confuse and take the piss out of dickheads and some people would rather believe it means something than think sensibly for themselves and take the responsibility for themselves and their lives .

A better theory to spread than uncle terrys is the more knowledge and the more people there are the more of them are going to missunderstand it and talk bullshit . -------> This film ....... and ..... danilel pinchbek , david icke and dan winter being prime culprits .  <------ better said liers and nutters .

All those people and the film makers are wanking their puny little egos trying to be important and know something ....... trying to teach us that they understand and that they are cool ........ thereby makeing ......$$$$$$$ ....... anyone wanna buy an esoteric book ? Watch a film ? Hunt aliens in a corn circle ?

Nothing against esoterics when it has a sane base . Some of todays esoteric is some of tomorows facts . Some of yesterdays alchemy became some of todays chemiustry...... but ....... not all .......some of it remains pseudo intellectual / scientific clap trap .

Witches , astrology , tarrot , i-ching , druids , shamen .. Nice games to play for people who have no position in their society and cant survive in the real world BUT wheres the proof . Science is repeatable . If it isnt it isnt science .

YUP I dun gone of into comercial ego wank esoterics BUT the fuckin film and uncle terrys theorys are just that ...... pseudo scientific bullshit ....... modern day hokus pokus .

The hunting season is open so please, feel free to shoot live rounds at me .........

EDIT - I aint shooting at anyone here . I`m shooting at terrorist mckenna , the film and the people that made it .
