POLL: Is "something" happening?
    #2159900 - 12/04/03 11:02 PM (20 years, 1 month ago)

Inspired by my very high mind and something I just read that salviadog said (thanks man!).

Ok, first thing's first: we have to get as specific as possible here...

Unfortunately it's rather impossible to get very specific due to the nature of the question :smirk:

So: what is meant here by "something" is some change which will be much "more" of a change than usual. Something that is going to happen (let's say within 10 years) that will change the fabric of human civilization. I think most of you should know what I'm getting at here: that big "something" a lot of us think is comming.

You can post your idea of what the "something" is, if you think something is happening, but please refrain from posting anything other than your theory :wink:

Is "something big" on the horizon?
Yes
No

The feeling I get is that we are long overdue for a happening of this sort. I cannot look 20 or even 10 years into the future and imagine things going on harmoniously in the context they are now.

Our parents are born to their parents, sent to school to get a good job to send their children to a good school, so that they can be parents of children who attend a good school, so that they can get jobs to fund the education of their children, so that they can have jobs which fund the education of...

This is just nonsense. Too long has the real meaning of our human life been ignored, or lost in our frightened, insane amnesia. Our governmental institutions are poisoned with corruption without exception. The social phenomenon of our self-focus is more intense than ever before, and our insecurity is directly proportionate. It is the unnoticed but complete stagnation of the human spirit, the murky undercurrents of this fetid swamp turning a clunky wheel of large-scale dissatisfaction and apathy which can only foster the extremely rapid degeneration of social orders.

In short, something's gotta give.

Let's not forget about good old McKenna, either. Terence was such a sweetheart.

Yes, something is going to happen.

My 'theory' is found in the thread I just, coincidentally, created called, "Epiphany!".

A bell, collectively, will ring.

I think it might mean, "School's over".

Then, the real beginning begins.

oh, this is sooo why I like the shroomery. only here... this is like an onion spoof, it sounds so stereotypically tripperish, but at the same time, yeah, I feel like a new plateau if some sort of cosmic significance is on the way. 

oddly, virtually everyone who doesn't take mushrooms doesn't see this coming, and warn that many other era's have thought they were the last before a new thing- and we know how that's turned out.

oh, and I think it's great that thusfar everyone has voted "yes".  :lol:

Something will happen because atomics are everywhere, nature isn't anywhere, and people are all fucking assholes. Yes, people are going towards their karmic destiny where the killers will be killed. I hate to say it, but we're a foul species and deserve to cease. Something new needs to take over. We're dinosaurs, and living on their remains.

I think that in times of political unrest, people tend to start believing something "mystical" is happening. Think back to the sixties, when everyone talked about how the planet was going to change because the age of aquarius was beginning and everyone was going to start living in peaceful enlightened harmony.

Didn't happen, of course, but lots of people thought they were in the middle of it.

Now, again, people are saying we're at the dawn of a magical and wonderful new age.

I have thought a lot about that.

However I would not apply the word "mysticism" to what I am speaking of. There is a rational explanation for this, although to make any specifics at this point is probably useless.

It's all about patterns, if you ask me :wink:

I'm not saying I don't have ideas, if I didn't I wouldn't be talking about this, but I don't always like expressing ideas I'm not very sure of yet :wink:

It would be useless because I think the event is either (a) still too far off to have a clear picture of, or (b) the event by nature is not comprehensible to me.

Something big is happening, Clear Channel (TM) has almost bought al the US radio stations and they don't play obscure music any longer. That means all you new kids on the block will grow up listening to commercially created consumeristic claptrap with no meaning. You will all be nursing at the nonpolitical, no-free speech, unimportant media tit. It will look perfect but will be silicone with fake nipples. There will be hoops in them for the effect of freedom but it will still just be fake boobs of a sterile new medium. Long live Kazaa and internet piracy, blogs, and freedom of expression, even if noone in power gives a hoot. Long live the BBS, street protests and fucking in the bushes. And Fuck the Bushes! Down with GPS, down with Amber Laws, down with succint and clearly defined US Constitution. Long live the gray areas of life. Lobg live nature. Long live the time to meditate and just chill. Death to the coming machine. Death to the coming GPS. Death to the coming population control.

Death to freedom. That's what's really coming. Mugabe oh bugger me! How did things get this way? Too much McDonald's. Macpolitics, Macschool, Macfriends, Macbeliefs, Mac freedom. If it can't be packaged and bought for a buck Americans don't want it. Just ask Bush the swaggering turkey toter.

>> Think back to the sixties, when everyone talked about how the planet was going to change

Yeah, but they were all high on drugs!

No, but seriously, I think they were absolutely correct. They witnessed the Kennedy assassination, and the subsequent Vietnam war. That was an extraordinary change for the world: it just wasn't what they anticipated. Keeping up with my typical dramatic and overly forceful metaphors, the blood of democratic America was tapped at the heart and drained by slimy, black and hungry demons, laughing in delight as they transformed the Western World into a bloated and gassy swamp of corruption and rot.

It is intruiging to note that almost 50 years ago, people were coming in to the same ideas our generation of psychedelic drug users are today.

Problem with predicting "something big", is that there certainly will be some event that could be labeled as "big" if you want to.

shroomism, this has happened before and it will happen again, in fact, its always happening! the earth has been in constant transformation since the age of enlightenment (and before that, to a lesser extent), and our percpetion of reality has been in constant flux since we started thinking.

I think the world economy is going to change for the worst. Unemployment is rising everywhere, people are replaced by machines and efficiency, and while this has been going on for quite a while, the system is under stress right now.
It'll have to collapse some day, as people in poor countries can't continue to work for slave wages forever, and when they do stop, production costs will increase and/or company profits will have to decrease. Think about it, it can't keep going, unless the system can create another need for consumers, just as it did the internet.

I agree with shroomism, but i think only becuase its more fun that way

lots of things are headed for a change, well shit they always are. But its like we are in a bottle neck, we have been going there since the 20s imo. Who knows how much longer we will go this way, but at some point we are going to either break out, into something "new" or travel backwards untill we are ready

A writer/professor named Vernor Vinge came up with a concept that he refers to as a "singularity".... a point in the future at which the rate of knowledge growth goes asymptotic, and anything beyond that point is unpredictable, due to the massive growth. This is one possibility, and actually appears to be happening as we speak...growth of knowledge is accellerating, and will soon be completly beyond prediction.
As far as patterns, history does have patterns...and we're in for one gigantic war pretty soon...the middle east, and the intervention of major powers is just the spark that's going to start the fire...15 years, if i don't miss my guess, maybe 10. Pretty close to novelty theory...weird.

Now, who are these people that are going to change the world? and why are there 3 of them currently? How does one spot these people?
Very intresting, i'd like to know where that came from..
Neways, let go, take hold, and hope for the best.
Stay Frosty.

Pfft. If you consider four elite mutant turtles devoting their lives to battle 'little effort'.

Well...yeah, it is part of the human psyche to believe a huge change is coming soon...but in this case, it appears to be backed with some substantial developments.

Knowledge...our store of it has been growing and accellerating exponentially over the last 200 years...and doesn't appear to be slowing. It probably wont, and this is going to be a critical point in the world culture over the next, say, 50 years. I fully expect (if we last that long) to see a world that is nearly unrecognizable by the time i'm ready to die.

Trade...i have a hypothesis that i've been playing with for the last few months...That all conflicts in human history can be charecterized as a struggle between black and white market economies. Given this hypothesis, i see the current world situation polarizing into two distinct camps...those who favor legalization and regulation, thereby converting their portion of the black market into white, and those who do not. The nations and peoples who do not favor legalization are slowly but surely cutting off outlets of pressure for the black market, and the few that remain are becoming dangerously squeezed...it's just a matter of time until the situation explodes, and it will probably be violent in nature when it does. I have no evidence of this as of yet, but i'm searching. Hell, last numbers i saw put world exports several billion (trillion?) dollars more than world imports. THis itself is an indication of either shoddy record keeping, or the black market. exact figures and economic histories are hard to come by, but i'm looking, and trying to begin relations with embassies that may be able to help me find the information i require. If i finish this anytime soon (and i'm honestly looking at a timetable measured in years) it may be predictive...but i'm rambleing.

Stay Frosty.

no it isnt. try again with some facts this time.




I meant sanations and staff cuts are made in a lot of companies, and a lot of plants are closed. More work is being done by less people, while companies impose production goals for their employees that they know are unrealistic, just to boost up production. This I know from working at a Nike distribution center.

It is interesting to note; in the histroy of mankind there have been only a few who have, by there own intellect and discovery changed the nature of life for everyone. Some feel there may be as many as three of these individuals alive today--simply as a matter of genetic chance.





I have to respectfully disagree with this take on human potential. There have been numerous people throughout history who have made major changes - Edison, Einstein, Ben Franklin, Newton, MLK Jr., Gandhi are just the first few that come to mind.

And there's a lot more than 3 people alive today with that kind of ability, the trick is to recognize & cultivate their talent before the world beats it out of 'em.

Hello. I'm glad you liked my idea trendal:) I do think that something big is happening. In the original post, "All reality falls..." or something like that we were talking about synchronicitiesn and how everyone is experiencing more of these lately. And if this has any relations to 2012. I'm still curious myself, but I am happy to see that the poll results are so high.

Size is relative. Something appears big when next to something small.

Well maybe the Earth will say "i can't take anymore, you're overpopulated." Fresh water is depleted, the Earth tilts and we have another ice age. Then the cockroach people take over.

or maybe grass will become legal?

or maybe that "one guy" that screws it up for everyone will finally be wiped from the gene pool.

or...Phil Lesh becomes President.

"I think people have always thought this, i think it's part of being human too think it's just round the corner."

agreed. for the most part, all changes in life seem to be gradual. and like namaste pointed out, something is only big when compared to something small...comparing the conciousness* of today to what it could be far ahead in the future will show significant difference.

*my theory...changes in counciousness is our next step in evolution. i mean that in the most vague way possible because the next step is never like the one behind us. example: the 2D reality has zero comprehension of the 3D reality. make sense?

yes, "something" will happen.

humanity has gone from a stagnant pond of indifference to a festering ocean of shit.

humans are violating the earth and mother nature will only put up with it for so long before unleashing her fury and restoring balance (if our own technology doesn't destroy us first).
