Morality questions and developments, natural vs fake strawberries, and resolutions
Hi everyone,
I have been quite busy, but not as productive as I would have liked to have been. I got to watch most of The Alzheimer Case last night and I recommend it highly. It made me reflect on morality and how setienence and genetic moral instincts fit into human development, as all that can actually evolve is the social conditiioning passed from parent to child or from society to individual and then from individual to society.
I had a nice discussion with Tim on how addictions can cause underlying genetic changes to a society, and the question of whether human conceptualisation and to a greater extent human morality is merely an addiction we have to cope or adjust to life.
I have also been further studying copying mechanisms that people use deal with emotion stress and circumstances in life along with other social motivations , dynamics and interactions. I am enjoying both my maths subjects and most of the project work for the other subjects , despite its longevity and depth and pressure.
Not having my laptop (it is being repaired (hopefully)), is quite the inconvience, although having the 6 Gentoo Xen images running for ITN771 is nice, especially as we have VOIP working now. After significant testing I have discovered the real strawberries are much tastier and sweeter than the strawberries and cream Allens lollies.
I found a really good list of skills required to be a Game Developer and was plesantly surprised to see that I had most of them. I have also been trying to deduce Blizzard’s path finding algorithrm from comparing creep path finding in various mazing TDs, the resistance and movement probably indicate a D* or A* algorithrm but I can’t work out the coeffecients from deduction alone and I have a bat’s chance in spaghetti of actually seeing the source code, so I guess I will just never be sure.
In other news I can make full pan sized pancakes without burning them , after the amount of practice I have had. Ivanhoe still has broken USB ports and both my knowledge and recall continue to surprise me when I am able to help and assist people with work from subjects I haven’t done but have some knowledge in.
I would really like to start roleplaying again but GURPS seems to ebbed in to the abyss for the moment and forum rpging is to incohesive for me. I finally got my ext3 drive working with the silly machines from uni using ext2fsd.
I also was reminded by Hui Min about Padan cake and Kek Lupis Sarawak and am now craving Indonesian deserts, however Bondi Bali reminds of exactly why I promised never to go back to Bali, so I will probably end up returning to Java instead.
What type of food haven’t you had in a long time and would really like to have ?
Best wishes and have fun,
