@D. Thorn 'They might as well be writing a Christmas movie where the evil logical person says "There is no Santa!" and the wise mysterious woman says "Yes, there is...but you have to trust your heart." ' You're two generations late ... during our grandparents' time, that was the essence of "Miracle on 34th Street" where the Macy's dept store Santa Claus was the real deal & all kinds of hoopla arose as a result. And yeah, for a X-Mas/holiday feel good comedy, it worked. Here, it's just insulting, just ask my Mahayana Buddhist friend who thought that the premise was lame. And yes, in sects of Buddhism, like Japan's Shintoism, consciousness can exist anywhere, not just confined to a specific corporeal incarnation of a person born out of one father and one mother ... ala the Doctrine of Cleric Zephyr Halima, who's acting like the Ms Know-It-All Pope of interstellar space's neo-Buddhism. 'Here they're asserting that cloning is somehow equal to making xerox copies (a xerox of a xerox of a xerox). Which means each one is going to be somehow "less than" not only the original, but the previous copy.' The fact that only a week ago, Dawn was discovering a new love and thinking of running away with her makes this whole thing look like almost a flaw in Ito's psyche than a reality. I mean I can understand a person like Halima, living on a rock, believing nonsense, but a 12000 year old android? It's like the writers want to appease two camps, the anti-embryonic cloning religious crowd but then, the rom-com believers that love will rescue the young clone from a 'soulless' existence. Sorry JJ Abrams, but your film disciples' hands are all over this.

As far as psychism goes, Salvor's ability is probably more kinesthetic in nature than cerebral/mental, despite her periodic trance states. Still, it's psychic and not like that of a regular person whose only based out of her five senses. "Hari Seldon is sort of not allowed to ever come into existence." Well, it's more that the entirety of his treatise was not suppose to be mainstream to the public, kinda like the notion that the Freemasons had all the secrets of the pyramids, etc, but in today's time, disguise themselves as some businessmen's gatherings. In other words, while it's probably all mumbo-jumbo conspiracy talk, even if a sliver of it were true than it would imply that archaeology is wrong and that there was a greater age of science/technology before than after the time of the 1st Pharaoh of Egypt, Marmer. The world is clearly not ready for that. "What I mean is that the easiest, most basic stuff is also the most powerful. " The issue here is that the Emperor took on a religious (or so-called spiritual) challenge and needed to 'win' it. Sure, not prepping for the long walk w/ extra carbohydrates (to get some belly fat) & electrolytes (to maintain some hydration) was just a writer's oversight but still, to win the tribunal, he needed to have some mystical experience to talk about than in just complaining about dehydration and heat exhaustion. And thus, he borrowed his fellow pilgrim's tale to get the ending he needed and I'm sure he's read mythology books to help accentuate the description a bit. "As for the Emperor's lack of vision, well, he's the Emperor, so that makes things a little different, I think. A naked Emperor without any vision of the future is not the leader you'd wish on anyone." For me, the lack of vision in the cave/pond meant nothing. That was more Ito's way of reconciling the episode and giving a sense of 'emptiness' to Cleon which I believe is nonsense. I used to know idiots who saw the Buddha, some 'breaded guy', etc, using these meditation a/o desert trips and my friend, who's the Mayahana Buddhist, believes that many of them are idiots who see what their unconscious fears or desires throw at 'em during periods of physical or emotional distress. And thus, seeing nothing and experiencing emptiness was the goal of a long meditation journey, not woo-woo sights and sounds. This is why I find that trip to be hokey. The pilgrim who died next to Cleon, was basically in a delirium before death. And the idiot counsel-women believe that this is evolution whereas others (like probably half of Trantor) see it as mere self-flagellation. In a way, I find Ito to be a moron for taking this so seriously.

Cara, eu nunca tinha ouvido falar nesses livros. Interessante!!! Vou considerar fortemente tentar comprá-los. Obrigado pela dica.

Once the space elevator has been built, it's really efficient. But building it takes a lot of expensive materials and energy. It's like a highway: once it's built, it's the best way to drive between two places. But villages don't have highways going to them, because the effort of making them isn't justified for the traffic they get.

Hello. I don’t know this, but I’m sure that the service that helped me https://domycoding.org/do-my-javascript-homework.html will help you. Programming has always been a difficult process for me and therefore I decided to turn to people who understand this well. Therefore, I am sure that you will find the answers you are interested in here)

I suppose there must be somebody somewhere surprised by this. I shouldn't be too jaded. I mean, on the face of it, if Paul Krugman is as big a fan of Foundation as he claimed to be, and he really believes economics is the closest thing there is to psychohistory, and since he loves pontificating about economics... If you thought he behaves like a normal human being, you'd expect him to jump at the chance of using the Foundation series to give some sort of economics lesson, either while praising or damning it. And if you think that there isn't any economic lesson to be extracted from the series, the layperson may need something obvious to classify something as "economics" or "maths", but an expert can find something to say relevant to his expertise while pointing at a cup of coffee. I have no doubt that, if he chose to, Mr Krugman could speculate on whether interstellar trade has increased or decreased during the time we've seen pass in the series. I certainly have an opinion and arguments to back it. But Mr Krugman isn't a normal man, he's a celebrity. So he's reviewing science fiction because... because... well, professors of economics are the obvious choice for film critics, aren't they? There surely is no way that he has any financial interest in the success or failure of any movie. If Mr Krugman has an issue with indispensable heroes or mystical powers, he forgets it in the next paragraph, where he starts praising Dune and his indispensable hero with mystical powers called Paul Atreides. Asimov himself didn't have an issue with mystical powers (the Second Foundation and the Mule have them) and the series doesn't happen to have any indispensable heroes, because it's a bunch of different characters, and none of them are given the largest chunk of screen time. Given the lack of precision in his criticism, it's a safe bet that Mr Krugman didn't watch very far at all, if he watched anything. It's possible that his actual problem is that he watched as far as ep. 4 and he recognized himself in the imperial statisticians, saying that the Empire was doing well because it's still expanding. That sounds a little too reminiscent to mainstream economists saying that a country is doing well as long as its GDP is growing. Then, his issue might be a little more subconscious. He seems to have an issue with Death Stars. Mainstream economics has a lot of trouble explaining what happens to an economy during a highly destructive war. There are two troublesome inconvenient facts: One, that the economy, whatever it was before, tends to become command-and-control once the situation is dire enough. Two, that wealth inequality often becomes lower after a major war. Which begs the question: if the advice of mainstream economics is so great, how come that a war can improve the situation in measurable ways? Or he may have realised, at some level, that comparing the fictional "psychohistory" to mainstream economics wasn't such a good idea after all. If there are people in the world that come anywhere near Hari Seldon's ability to predict the future of a society, they should know how to prevent war and ecological catastrophe. So, to the extent that something like psychohistory exists in the real world, it's either not believed or used for evil. Mainstream economics has been widely believed for a long time, so that would leave Mr Krugman in a very unfavorable light, somewhere between an idiot and an instrument of evil. Happy late Halloween roast, Mr Krugman!

Most of all I love to study sociology and Spanish. and for writing complex essays in French, I use top dissertation writing service this saves a huge amount of time and helps to focus on core subjects.

Hi. The best casino games to play are the most playable and profitable games. You'll see them in the front row when you browse the collection of games on this site https://slotscity.net/ . Some of the common games there include Book of Dead, Wolf Gold, Gates of Olympus, Aloha King Elvis, Sweet Bonanza and many others.

Actually, in the Asimov books Hari Seldon at one point tries to slow the decay of the Empire from the inside. It doesn't look to me like in the series they are going to have that bit in, because in the series Eto Demerzel hasn't stepped down by the time Gaal shows up, so I'd assume Eto Demerzel in the series has been with the Emperor for quite a while. I certainly don't mind ignoring that part, it never seemed all that believable. And since Demerzel is well aware of Hari Seldon's work, it makes sense for her to take on the role of trying to slow the decay from the inside.

Essa editora deveria lançar nova edição desses livros, pois com o lançamento da série, a procura deve aumentar. Mas tal não deverá acontecer, pois a editora está insolvente desde 2019. https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publica%C3%A7%C3%B5es_Europa-Am%C3%A9rica

I haven't failed to notice that. And yeah, both parties mirror each other to a surprising degree. Except that the Blue Team is "mostly consensus reality" while the Red Team is "mostly fantasy reflection". And I'd say consensus reality in the USA leaves something to be desired in terms of realism about resources. Which is why I brought the point that you have to step out of culture and start thinking about other variables more connected to the physical world. I don't doubt that the human mind has limits, too. A society hitting both physical and psychological limits at the same time probably hurts an awful lot. It seems to me that's something that's happened to a few totalitarian regimes. Putting on my amateur psychohistorian hat again, I think Hari Seldon in the series was lucky. The Emperor was fairly well disposed to him. I wouldn't expect any crumbling Empire to be so generous. And certainly preppers in the USA seem to agree with that. Prepper websites are complaining about lots of the wrong things. If that isn't a loud siren, I don't know what is. Any wannabe mayor of Terminus is going to find things pretty difficult. Add to that a few weird experiences I had, as I mentioned before. Once I was talking to a friend about the stuff I like to talk about and he said: "That's like lighting a match in the gunpowder room to see what's in there." I wasn't even saying anything unusual for me, but I guess it was the vibe in the air. I can get a hint. If people don't want to listen, I'm not keen on talking, either. I can recognise if others have been thinking along similar lines as I do. If somebody suddenly develops an interest in paying attention to me, as opposed to the news, that's great. Otherwise, I'll just get on with my little life the best I can.
