You HAD to use the name Manuel.

Welcome back man, glad to see you.

We could use this opportunity for training--we send one Ordo member there, maybe two, to fight the whole spartan army. Of course it'll be hard, but hard is fun.
Army of two anyone?

Wow I can't believe I missed this.

Grave Irata has been a fleeting disappointment tonight, the twenty-second of May. Pay no mind to the notecards he sent; said notecards were simply an attempt to induce drama and by no means reflect any fidelity. DaveyDarkStrider Oh has been informed about the proceedings, so please do not continue to bother him regarding this topic.

Wow, it's been a while Emma!

Needless to say, I get epic-bumps from this movie.

Thoroughly enjoyed your post Kristian; great input from both Intus and Scientific! Respect is imperative.

Hey, I hope you find what you're looking for here.

Wow, looking forward to the next installment! Absolutely love the attention to detail and the subtle roman themes.

Wow, that was great. Thank you for sharing this!

Definitely going to try this out, haha.

Happy ordo-birthday!

Great post Wolf; thoroughly enjoyed experiencing Ordo from fresh eyes. Keep up the good work.

Primarily, this thread was created MONTHS ago about a group that could potentially pose a threat. Trevor resurrected it. Secondarily, Agares, of course the status of the group has changed over such a long period of time.
This board is based on INFORMATION, not ASSUMPTION. I don't care if you happily partook in the affairs of said group. I don't care if said group isn't military affiliated. Unless you have substantial evidence backing your claim, then your reasoning is an assumption. If you can't handle that, don't post. It's great if you post "Hey guys, as far as I know this group is pretty much dead! I know this because <insert evidence supporting claim here>." Thank you Agares, for letting me know about the status of the sim, etc. That's USEFUL information. Saying "this group is like this," or "lol no assumptions were made," is not useful.
Let's look at the definition of assumption.
premise: a statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn; "on the assumption that he has been injured we can infer..."
Unless you know what Dagger is thinking, or anyone else involved with that group for that matter, than you made an assumption by saying "lol pointless group."

The group was never important. It never did anything but hand out some cool armor, and a copybotted bodysuit.Currently stationed in Lighterdark.

Debate has long been a means of broadening the horizons and expanding the understanding of individuals, and I doubt that any of the proclaimed experts, geniuses, or professionals would come along and condemn us simply for discussing the issue. They might condemn, attack, or disagree with our particular arguments, they might defend them, but that's not what's important, what is important is that we have the dialog, and perhaps come away enriched by it.
There was once a time when literacy was rare, this was the birth of religion. Most intellectuals who are educated in both fields would probably find this thread frustrating and ignorant.
Anything less could easily be mistaken for intellectual cowardice, especially if I wasn't willing, or eager, to go to an expert and discuss it with them, but believe me, I am.I'm an 'intellectual coward' because I like to educate myself about topics before spewing my opinions.
I'll be sure to bear that in mind next time I'm voting, or tying my shoes, or deciding what to read at the library.I can't stress enough how good it if everyone made educated decisions.

it was invalid from an ad hominid perspective, but the core idea that experts in various fields of the science do generally find that such phenomena have physical roots is true.
I don't see the ad hominem. Also, it's strikingly condemning that I need to explain my post; the three of you are either deeply frustrated by the fact that I was so blunt about human intelligence, or in denial. Either way it's a fact that most of the arguments posted in this thread are irrational and hypocritical as none of you(obviously me included, but I'm not arguing my opinion) have a full understanding of either side of the fence or the mental capacity to argue a side in a question of this calibre and magnitude. It would probably frustrate a person who does--that is, have extensive, arguable knowledge in both the humanities and physics as well as the ability to sew logic and intrinsic beauty in the unification of their arguments to others--if they were to read this thread.
In the thread: hypocrisy, psuedo-arguments, pre-graduate level physics, and mockery. Also, cocks.
Go back to school, the lot of you. When you have years of formal mind training, then you can argue such vastly complicated subjects without straying over the hypocrisy line.
Here, let me call your rationalizations/justifications before you post them:
-Either Tiridates or Agares will use some half-hearted argument with no evidence like "that's lazy lol we should continue to be hypocritical and irrational and pretend to argue with psuedo-science, magic, and our minuscule knowledge base in physics."
-One of you might say "no one ever got anywhere by simply keeping quiet about their opinions, that hinders advancement." I'm not advocating silence; I'm advocating knowledge among other vital peripherals of arguing a topic such as this.
-"You don't have to participate Aelus if you don't want to!" I'm not participating in the argument; also, this is my thread.
-"I have a decent understanding in both, isn't that sufficient?" For some lower calibre arguments, of course. This is like, THE argument. The one and only. In fact, this particular topic could eliminate religion's final justification.
-"We're not arguing, we're debating an intellectual issue of importance." See above.
-"What if one day my opinion is the scientifically accepted one?" Great, awesome, magnificent, brilliant. I doubt it.
-Waffle will explain what physics he understands. Granted, this knowledge base is very substantial, however not nearly as substantial as one needs for a question that will probably not be answered for at least another century.
-"I r disapoint." Me too.
-"Let's insult Aelus's rational post, c'mon guys."
Most intelligent, rational, non-hypocritical ideology yet: we keep our lo-fi opinions to ourselves, and try to learn more from those who can teach us; like, for instance, the ones who have years of formal training and have wrote numerous documents on the argument.
See: Scott Hughes, Stephen Hawking, Ray Kurzweil, Steven Pinker, Christopher Hitchens, Brian Greene, or any number of the leading intellectuals for more information. Oh wait, I would much rather know Tiridates Mikadze, Agares Tretiak, and Scientific Waffle's opinions.
