Of course they don't. Why do you think he posts this drivel here?

Arcadio, ok, say I've now traveled back to this present from 50 years in the future.

Theoretically, can I now beat you to death with croquet mallet and yet escape all legal consequences entirely by escaping back to the future where either the statute of limitations will have expired or the culling of the intellectually annoying will have long been legalized?

You cannot beat me to death with a croquet mallet (whatever that is) because then it would make it impossible for me to come back in time.

Come on... you are not thinking deep enough. If you set all preconceived notions of reality aside, and think for a bit, you'll understand that what' I'm trying to say is actually very insightful. You'll thank me in the future.

Arcadio, you should pick up a few basic philosophy books. I'd recommend Hegel, Descartes and Plato for a start. The reason your philosophical threads don't get much traction is that you treat these ideas as new revelations when they're very old, and you just dip your toes in the water when the depths have already been explored. If you had more knowledge of your topic and were posting more significant questions (standing on the shoulders of giants, as it were) then the responses would be on a more serious level.

Will do. Great suggestion, even though I've already read a couple of books about similar topics.

But that's the whole point . . . theoretically. 😛

Edit: A croquet mallet is time-tested English pest control device.

Yeah... It is also used for croquet...

Use your ban croquet mallet on Arcadio already. >_>

I have a headache on one side form this thread.

whatever you do, might be a good idea not to read my amazingly awesome neuron-destroying post a few up from yours.

It hurts my head just remembering vaguely what I typed. And I don't dare re-read it, not yet. Maybe after some sleep cures this fog.

For the past couple of days I've been thinking about the fact, that if we develop a time machine in the next 20, 30 or 50 years, one of the first things we would want to do is come back to the time when we were younger, stronger, and more attractive, and re-live the entire experience again... well guess what: That's where we are right now!! It's basically a theoretical time machine that will be built some time in the future, and will allow us to come back to the past. That past is NOW.

The only draw back is that you cannot go back to the time when you came from, so you gotta live these years again, but for many of us, that's actually a very good thing!!

So for the past couple of days I've been living with the idea in my mind that I came back to 2009 to re-experience these days once more.

Try it and you will see that this idea will make you enjoy your life even more than before.

You're a fucking moron. You realize that you'll be like fucking eighty when you go back in time right? You don't just magically take your fucking brain and replace the brain that is in your old/younger body. NOR DOES YOUR EIGHTY YEAR OLD BODY MAGICALLY TURN 30 AGAIN....

Fucktard. Go die in a fire already.

Calm down there, kiddo 🙂



Guys, Arcadio's threads need to be taken with some sort of alcoholic beverage. He isn't always serious. I think he's part robot, part troll, and part human. It's like a hybrid Humantrollbot. Don't get frustrated over it, for your own sake.

HUGE difference between reading about certain philosophical topics or philosophers and reading the works and ideas of the world's greatest philosophers in their own words. 🙂
 
I didn't realize when I came back in time that I would be trapped here. :frown:

I really miss my siamese/saber tooth hybrid kitty. Can't imagine what she's doing to the leather furniture while I'm gone. 🙁
 
This sounds like a crappy Bay or Woo movie. Let me guess; the time travel wiped our minds of our future existence, yet, somehow, we know that we've traveled back in time?

That happened on a Star Trek: Next Gen episode where time kept on resetting with the crew only having deja vus of previous instances. It was a pretty crappy episode IMO.
