    I just wished to create a sense of Mindfulness. How many of us focus, analyze, or even give ourselves a second look? We take the world for granted. Its an extraordinary thing, people do not realize that we march like automations not taking in the pleasures of life. When I talk to anyone about their lives I find dissatisfaction in all of them. from those who are the proletariat to the bourgeoisie its quite fascinating.

    I will say this, The staff has their reasons, perhaps due to the tension growing we are forgetting to be mindful of others and the rules of the # 1 server. It is quite important that we remember that we should hold and unconditional positive regard. I Myself see both sides. The forum if not regulated could enter a state of calamity. We as players should be more select in our topics. I know I have not been very concise with my thoughts and creating new threads in the past. There are others of the same way. If the tread is moot or is not used for a certain amount of time then let it be removed and start over again. Plus I would assume the forum must be limited in the thread count. I am sure it is costly to run the forum. having anything online or on the internet is costly.

    I concur, the stats are rather moot. There are other reasons and ways to play the game.

    I see the arguments on both sides. There are pros and cons. Perhaps a simulation would be in order? select a certain group of players and have them operate under a "Proposed Economy" and see if it flourishes or if it will die. I would be very interested in seeing how that would play out. I would invest in research and building a facility for such a simulation.

    It is only natural for humans to hunt for the truth, we search for ways to understand ourselves, our world, and our universe. Thus the birth of science, with every test, fallen apple, glimpse through a telescope, and surgical incision we believe that we are one step closer to knowing what we seek. Once we find these answers we publish them and share them with the world, but these new discoveries must stand against their greatest opponent, time. Pluto, the state/creation of the universe, the human mind, our galaxy and our place in it, the medical field. These all have been changed once if not many times because we are still learning, science is sadly not fact but the most recent findings. We can not hold science as the highest and utmost authority because it is not resolute and the findings of today may not be the findings and "truth" of tomorrow.

    Consciousness is a state of awareness of the internal and external experience. Every sentient species has a consciousness, this can be observed with their behaviors from the external and internal stimulants, however now we get to humanity. It's ability to transcend the rudimentary cognitive process, to aspire culturally, intellectually, and socially. What has caused this?

    Being an objectivist I stand on the side of reason, however contrary to the beliefs of my philosophical views I also hold God close to my heart. I have walked both paths and I have found both are the same. Science and the supernatural walk hand in hand in the gray that we choose not to see.

    The soul is a complex construct. It is our eldest title for what we call consciousness. It is to help explain our eldest truth, mortality. I have looked into eyes and there is something there, a light if you will, not a literal but figurative light. Its a spark that units humanity on the most fundamental level. We may be separated by culture, society, or even geographically. But we are all the same, we love, fear, hate, we feel sadness, joy. I know the chemicals of the endocrine system and I know how they can affect our mood, but notice something? Every book, every professor I have talked to have used the word affect, not create or produce. The brain informs the body what to do, it tells these chemicals to be released. These chemicals are not the reason we are so alike, it is the complex connection that we share.

    After all I said. I submit the following conclusion, The soul does exist, it is not yet to our understanding but it has an affect on our biological and cognitive processes, which in turn makes us feel our emotions may they be whatever they are. Specifically for this thread it would be Happiness.

    I wish not to offend nor preach, this was not the point of the thread. I see all the answers here and they are based of logic of your choosing and in my eyes are sound. I hold reverence for all who have commented on this thread, you put forth the energy for some answer and place it here for all to read. You have my thanks.
