All right OP, I'll play along. Please explain how using hypertext relates to time travel.

ETA: though I see you didn't cross-post like you said, you just made a link.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I don't expect you to do this, but many do it naturally from their debative nature: That is they go through all the cross reference threads I listed and delve into each topic. Once you do that you can have an idea of the actual total idea, and that leads to time travel, but I have to reiterate I can't fully explain it in words, some things can't be explained in words. As the human race we tricked ourself into believing everything can be explained in parts, but somethings can't. They have to be understood as a whole.




As a side that I forgot, this thread was deleted in SMP because it didn't fit in the section criteria, but thats the thing, even a forum so big as this one doesn't have a section for threads that cross multiple sections....thats a symptom of the issue....we miss important discussions because of this (with important minds?).

So you re-imagined the web without realizing it, and have concluded it leads to time travel. Cold prose, sibling.

In a forum as large as 2+2, it's very tough to miss an important discussion. Someone will see it. But at the same time, someone will also see the stupid ones. You know, like now.

yes but we can get rid of the redundant ones, and do higher level talks...

for example Futurenomics is a concept where we develop future technology based on the assumption we will develop bridges to that technology in the future. That way were are already ready for it.

So for example AdvancedCivilizationsMovingPlantes

We can assume we can move planets and then study technology we can invent given that assumption

So with threads you can move onto greater topics without having to prove 10 things at once just to get to the real debate.

Get over yourself.

No, it's not uncomfortable or fun, it's just an unnecessary mess.
