That's not true anymore. If I could kill the dog and get away with it, and that solved the problem, I would do it. In fact, a happy outcome would be if the dog killed the kid, and then the dog got put down. That would solve 2 problems.

Every day when I walk around my neighborhood, I encounter several people walking their dawgs on the sidewalk. I know they're either going to mess with me, or I will be treated to the lovely site of their animal taking a dump. I don't even deal with it anymore. I walk in the street. But I have a right to walk on the public sidewalk. If their owner laid their hands on me, I would have every right to put him down. But their dawg can sniff my crotch and make threatening moves towards me with impunity? And I'm supposed to just laugh it off? Well I'm not laughing. If that's the way it's going to be, then I will exercise my own right to defend myself and mace every dawg that makes such an advance towards me. If their owners want to kick my ass, then oh please bring it on. And if they're too big for me, I've got some extra mace for them too. They should be grateful I don't just shoot their mutt.

Here is an idea for a movie project. Take Bruce's situation. Spend 5 min describing it visually without any commentary (the movie is all probably silent, no dialogue, just events taking place observed from some distance) just the images of life going on and the noises interfering with it. We become very familiar with the entire neighborhood. Then after we have been repeatedly convinced about the reality of the nuisance, you get Bruce introduced in some desk designing plots to eliminate the noise. Like a pink panther cartoon story but only for real now seriously. Consider each plot to eliminate the problem from creative ones to violent ones, to extremely elaborate out of this world genius perfect crime plots. Each plot is executed and eventually fails because something goes wrong at some point. Rinse and repeat take 2, take 3, take 4 whatever each time it fails (take that to mean one way or another the problem gets worse). Oh the rinse and repeat part is like a "Run Lola run"="Lola Rennt" movie type of thing.

Rerunning the sequence from the same starting point of seeing Bruce in the desk as the first time, only each time some random little change (a quantum mechanical in origin thing maybe) completely alters the events (phone rings, a cup is dropped, a bird comes at the window distracting Bruce ,you name it something slightly different each time, we can even make Bruce inspired by the little detail). Of course there are trillions of them like that all the time in all QM systems around us, we just see one as example, all the world changes after each rerun in some degree because of it and therefore a different plot is constructed. So courtesy of chaos theory each plot is unique and fails in a different way each time. Then QM and chaos theory restart the sequence and it fails again etc. The last time finally the brilliant plot is revealed, considering all possible angles (as if learning from all prior ones in some mystical sense all previous world lines learning from each other's failure) and it has its chance to materialize and it works. And then we start the chaos game again, only now from the point of view of the world where the plot succeeded and later. We trace the consequences of every action, in that last plot, to various individuals, even animals, birds, cars, whatever, be as creative as you want to imagine and follow the path of every element of the world you choose to study that is impacted by the success of the plot. We follow the development of these sequences of events to all players, humans, animals and inanimate objects or structures, everything involved. All the paths are radically affected because of this initial event in some manner that is explained briefly visually and through various further interactions of all these players, "colliding" with each other, eventually we observe in some other neighborhood, some other inconsiderate guy gets a similar dog that is also a bit noisy and now someone else has the same problem... We could even make the story such that each player does something a little "nasty" or a little "good" along the way to others until it builds to the conclusion that it is now someone else's new problem and they (all involved) all made it possible.


Oh did i forget to mention the title of the movie is..."Free Will".

Are we allowing time-travel for the hot babes?

Masque, have you seen the movie Groundhog Day?

I have seen all of them but this one will be scientifically designed. Plus notice its object is to recreate itself in the end unlike all the other movies, as if to show you how it all happens against our best designs.

JFC, I will not be playing the part of Bill Murray again.

You might want to get off that diet thingy.

Just made my son watch a bunch of Butterbean fights.

Bruce will design the plots. IQSystems2014 is the company the SMP board will make to submit the script to Hollywood after the script is re-edited multiple times by all major SMP posters that also submit and vote individual details and ideas. Then the movie is made and we profit and when we also get the Oscar we all finally meet at the awards ceremony for the first time to thank the Academy.

Bruce, your symptoms are treatable with medical maryjane.

Marijuana doesn't have any effect on me, no matter how much I smoke.

Do you guys observe your IQ to fluctuate during the month like ups and downs? How about mood eg aggression, friendship/kindness tendencies, irritation tendencies, etc? I have only observed in myself so far IQ fluctuations not mood (well unless its mood boost due to higher IQ lol) (cant control them and they are still not spectacular deviations or anything). I can boost independently of the main effect (which i have no control of and i am not sure its periodic even) almost always by creating artificial jet lag in my sleep schedule (which is chaotic anyway) ie stay up and then sleep for many many hours back to back and then after that (say 5+5 hours) i am very energetic thought-wise and very optimistic after a great breakfast until 20 hours later even. When on a normal midnight to 6-7 am schedule of sleep, like 90% of people, nothing great happens lol. My English also deteriorates after several hours of not sleeping.

Getting the right amount of quality sleep is hugely important to your mental performance. There have been studies that showed even decreasing from 9 hours to 8 makes a significant difference, and to 7 is a really big difference. You could be reduced to 70% less iirc.

I usually don't sleep well, but occasionally I'll fall asleep in the early evening and get extremely deep sleep and wake up at 3 AM or so, and then I can operate at a much higher level. For most of my adult life I've had delayed sleep phase syndrome which is a non-24 hour circadian rhythm disorder whereby my sleep/wake schedule would precess with respect to the 24 hour day. It's like being in a perpetual state of jet lag. It's caused by an insensitivity to light on the levels of melatonin produced by the pineal gland. It's actually pretty common, but most people don't know they have it. Most normal people are on a 25 hour cycle, so they precess slowly and they can control it. The world's most renowned expert on the condition took measurements of my movements 24 hours a day for a month using a wrist monitor, and she now uses my graphs in her lectures because I'm like a textbook case. For most of my life I would go to bed in the early morning and get up after noon and never in the morning except when I experienced a reset. I had another mode whereby if I had to get up in the morning, say to go skiiing, I could do it if I got up very early, way before anyone else like at 5 AM. Now that I'm older, I almost always get up at about that time. The condition changes as you age. I still don't sleep well though. I toss and turn all night. Always have. I think I need a better bed. My matress is 25 years old. Think it's time to replace it? lol

The western world is crafted for morning people. Rage!

My solution to that problem was to live in the US but work with people in Japan and India. I was on their schedule. Until they decided it would be a good idea to send 2 Japanese guys here for me to train. I almost never saw those guys. They have to stay in Japan if they want to interface with me.

I fit every symptom, most times when I am expected to do something early at the morning I just don't sleep. People have no compassion

Hadn't looked up anything that fit that perfectly, will try to wake up before the time I get sleepy - 4 to 7 am. Will do 5 AM first, have 2 days of test and need to stay awake from 6 am to 6 pm doing it in 10 days.

Last time I managed to sleep in normal hours I was waking up about 10 times per night and had a lot of nightmares.

Miss Neanderthal of 50,000 years before present is eligible, as is Raquel Welch of 1 million BC. Robot Babes from the future, space alien babes from the twelfth dimension etc., are all legitimate prospects. We are not so draconian as to limit ourselves to facts, reality, or plausibility; philosophy being such an expansive concept and subject matter. Let your imagination run amok.

Averna amaro liqueur -- just tried it, highly recommend.

Also recently tried Cynar artichoke liqueur. I can't pick out the artichoke from the 13 plant ingredients but it's an interesting mix of flavors. Probably not for everyone, but better than it sounds.

I think the next one I try in this category will be Fernet Branca and/or Montenegro Amaro. Or any suggestions?

Oh, you mean The Butterfly Effect. That one was already made as well.

That is called "being a human being." Not really much different than asking "do you guys observe that your hunger level fluctuates?"

Basically, the stuff you are describing (intelligence, mood, communication) aren't just traits. They are also states (and even have a situation component to them).

All these other movies are a joke in terms of physics, a game that is never really consistent or properly presented in its true glory. This one is the real deal and it even defines the entire free will topic. The original part is that it recreates itself in the end.

I'm failing to see the physics part. Presumably we will be forced due to the time-restraints of the format to keep the movie somewhat more limited in breadth and scope than a PhD in physics.

Also, not really sure about the recreation part. By that I mean that I am completely unsure of what you could possibly mean. I have some ideas of what you can mean but the ideas I am coming up with are extremely silly, so you will need to explain.

This is a short movie project idea. Not a full feature film. It recreates itself in the end in the sense that all the events that follow from the successful elimination of the problem in one neighborhood lead to the creation of a new similar problem elsewhere as if a cosmic irony. The point is that although it appears the guy designing the plots is in full control of the game, it is gradually revealed that he is at the mercy of the universe (and the universe at his mercy) and all these interactions eventually recreate somewhere else a similar situation, implying that even the original was like that with all actions essentially not free in the traditional sense.

The physics is in describing the visual details properly (cinematography/editing etc) in chaos, QM dealt carefully/elegantly/visually intelligently, and not introducing bs time travel and other crap. The first part of the movie with the various takes is not actually what happened, only one of those takes did happen, we are just presented with what could quantum mechanically have happened in one branch of the world. But we do live in one world obviously so the viewer finally sees the version of the world that the plot succeeds and then we move to the conclusion, the second part of the movie which is the reconstruction of the original elsewhere as if the future shows you what your past was.

The point is to "teach" the viewer how we are all in it together, in this game and although we are not mechanical or "life" anything like predetermined/written etc, its still not at all locally free even if it seems like we are the authors of the plots...

Unless another yappy dog moves into Bruce's actual neighborhood, I think the lesson might be a bit different than what you think it is...

Excellent Bernard McGuirk rant:

Rudy Giulani just ruined Time Square. I look at that place, and I'm like the Indian with the tear his eye in the commercial, longing for the old days of peep shows. The place is pointless, it's stupid, it's culturally deficient. It's full of pig faced overweight European tourists with too tight shorts and sandals. Get 'em out. They want to see where the ball drops. You want to see balls drop? Go to a Mets game. You'll see plenty of balls dropping.
