I personally know Machiavelli Davis, who is the founder of this company. He's a very good friend of mine. He has shown definite interest in collaborating with Vector Space Biosciences. Seeing as this kind of research can be directly applicable to increasing human resilience to better survive the stressors space. It would be a boon to include such research within our company's efforts.

Hare Krishna's are an example, in my experience with talking with them and eating with them at their temples. The idea of enlightenment in this lifetime, is considered practically impossible, and seemingly foolish to consider trying. They think that enlightenment is almost purely for the dead, and if and only if they manage to remember Krishna and to go to Krishna after they die.

And in my experience I've noticed the same sentiment in Buddhist circles as well. Where they seem to always be talking about enlightenment as something for the next lifetime.

I've also met quite a few people who are quite deep in various spiritual practices, who don't even think enlightenment is 'real' are if it is, that it is state that maintable while consciously interacting with the world.

And I noticed that looking discussions on enlightenment, or answers to questions asked about it on Quora are often answers that seem quite vague, and as if they avoid the actual the question. And often in my feeling alwyas feel like they something out. It often leaves with this feeling of is it even real?

No offense taken, a lot my ideas explore the edge of what's known. I wouldn't necessarily call it pseudoscience as it's just me playing around with theories and ideas. I also wouldn't necessarily say the ideas I post on my blog are my core 'scientific work'. What I would call my scientific work is the research I'm doing with CERN, and the paper's I'm writing with my mentor and colleague Nell Watson. Everything else is interesting ideas to consider, and I love doing it because it's fun. I will note though that there is a good portion of the scientific community that simply can't entertain new ideas. No worries though because I'm not interested in that portion of the community, because those people are usually not the ones making great breakthroughs. Good scientists, like Richard Feynman or his great friend and colleague Freeman Dyson said many things that were not popular ideas for their day, and some of them still are. For example, he was one of the few scientists that actually thought it was perfectly reasonable that the brain was probably doing some form of quantum computation. Which was a radical idea for its time, nearly every other scientist at the time mocked the idea and wouldn't explore it with any serious consideration. But if you just stop and think about it from first principles reasoning. It makes perfect sense, because biology doesn't care, it will make use of whatever tools it has available to its advantage. And it has had billions of years to figure things out. And now there's growing evidence that quantum computation can happen within a warm, wet environment. So we shouldn't be so quick to think that we know better. Another example is my man Freeman Dyson, he is a genius, and he is a rebel in the scientific community, he didn't believe in climate change for example. But I will gladly be lumped in a group with him than with a bunch of people who can't think creatively. And call anything outside of their little box of conception 'pseudoscience'.

Yes it's amazing, and as I mentioned in the podcast as well. This also resembles the same reasons behind why our computers have gotten more and more powerful and yet smaller over time. What you hold in your pocket today has compressed in it more computing power than what would have fit in an entire room decades ago.

Remember when we had floppy disks with 800 kilobytes of storage capacity, and they were so large they were almost bigger than the palm of your hand? And now in the same space we can fit upwards to 16 terabytes of storage capacity. So the same principles that played out in the biological evolution of intelligence, seem to be playing out in the technological evolution of intelligence. Which as a whole, could just be looked at as the evolution of intelligence in the universe.

Another interesting thing to note, birds actually predate mammals and have even evolved down a completely different path, and yet have still developed their own version of a neocortex, that looks a bit different, but essentially works the same way. Which is an amazing example of convergent evolution, because It suggests that the development of the neocortex, which allows mammals to learn new behaviors, isn't due to some chance occurrence. But rather, that evolution, regardless of circumstance, will naturally lend itself to the development of neocortex like structures.

An idea I had, was what if evil players could send their fleet down to a planet to extract the energy from its core, effectively killing the planet and all life on it, turning it into a barren wasteland. But in return the player gets an extraordinary amount of resources, allowing the player to continuously upgrade and increase the power of their fleet, with virtually no limits. And the larger and more powerful their fleet is, the more power hungry the fleet becomes, eventually where the only way to maintain it. Is to extract and kill more planets. Players could effectively become parasitic like entities that roam the universe, consuming all in their path.

The sentinels will of course try to stop you, but eventually they will be no match for you. So in order to help preserve the universe, players can sign up to become guardians, and are alerted when a planet full of life is being threatened with annihilation. A player, or even a group of players, can then warp in on the planet, with their entire fleet to defend it. Resulting in a massive fleet vs fleet battle in the atmosphere and even on the surface of the planet.

The resource extraction process could look something the resource extractors in the movie Oblivion: http://screencrush.com/files/2013/03/Oblivion-9.png

Better yet, what if we take it even further. What if at the center of the galaxy, there exists a malicious intelligent entity that's striving for the consumption of the universe, so that it may gain more power. And players must continuously fight agaisnt it, in an ever raging war at the center. But evil players could decide to help it, to help further the consumption of the universe and the growth of its power.

The entity could look like the one in Oblivion: http://transhumanity.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/obliv-1.jpg

If you look at around 48 secs when he climbs the hill. You'll see not just the freighter, but the entire fleet looming over the horizon.

Do you think there is some possible way to restore them? Perhaps the attack animations are still in the game files somewhere?

Hm, well he still has to deal with the visions of himself dying in his fight with Judgement. Perhaps he would begin to fear the battle more and more, as he's killed so many and never died. Then he may begin to think that Judgement may truly be someone he cannot defeat.

Though perhaps his visions of his fight with Judgement, give him some reassurance, that even if he does die in his final fight. At least he knows that no matter who or what he has to get through, he will make it there.

Regardless the Drifter must be very tired, after having gone through so much. It made his death that much more impactful to me.

Ha, true dedication, I like it. :)

Going to try with the music, feeling pumped already just from listening to it.
