    lol as humorous as this all is, that site is full of shit anyway XD
    obviously the book is a lucky coincidence, however, the so called facts that the website uses are not facts at all.
    also, lets just assume we could do some kind of voodoo ceremony to see in the future or whatever takes your fancy. we would not see exact details :hahaha:

    its very human to assume we are all completely free beings doing excactly what we want when we want and that nobody controls what we do. people do not like to think about the idea that maybe a small aspect of their life is out of their control. maybe its small, maybe its big, either way, its easier to fight the people reminding you than to fight the people enforcing it on you.

    the most important thing is for us all to not shelter ourselves.

    Yes man, I am surprised that huge number of people fell for this false information. US elections are near and it is seen all over the world that right wing political parties are on rise, the reason is fake news and false information.:crazy:

    A simple web search with a little use of brain can tell us what's fake news and what's not.

    Where can I order those?
    Do they come with a chinstrap?
    Link please
     
  8. So, regarding my original question, the answer you were all (apart from Xupito) looking for is a simple "No". The rest is non sequitur and superfluous noise. Thank you boys. x

  12. OK, sorry I didn't make it clear that what you're referring to was just my own musing which led to the actual question I was asking. I was hoping to find somebody to discuss the book with, not start a pissing contest.

  13. My earlier post seems rude and petulant with the benefit of hindsight. I apologise to all posters in this thread.:sad:

  15. Little advice for the future... Don't sell your F ASS just because Elon Mask tells you to do it. Fuck that guy. Instead, grab your obsolete smartphone and make music with it!

    That's true. It's like with music, there isn't something like NEW music, as someone sometime has had similar ideas.

    Nevertheless we should learn from things that have been predicted.
    ATM I'm reading a book about clinical virology and epidemiology. This book is from 2009 (newest edition). Everything that has been said in the last few weeks has been found out in the years following the first SARS CoV (1) epidemia from 2002 on.

    We really could have known better: An enormous amount of knowledge has been accumulated about the large group of corona viruses since 2002 (e.g. that there is a Coronavirus in bats). If we had used this knowledge, very few people would have died fromSARS CoV 2 disease, because there is actually not much really new about this virus. More or less it's a second edition )as scientists ame it).

    By the way: from the point of view of the threat to humanity, SARS CoV 2 is quite harmless. Death rate 0.8 to 1 percent. MUCH more worrying for scientists is H5N1, which has a death rate of about 50%, which therefore is at least 50 times more deadly. The only advantage is that H5N1 is not transmitted from human to human, but only from chicken to human. However, it is only a matter of time before the germ makes this leap. And then God(s) may help us.

    its not a contest, people are just having fun. show me a forum where the topics do not derail. if we stayed on topic people would have abandoned this thread a long time ago. isnt that how normal conversations go? they progress?
    if you were asking something music related like "how do i use a compressor to get a punchy kick", or whatever, then people will usually stay on topic. this is the lounge though so..
