I see what you mean. I was "up there cough cough cough" when I was writing that out. I guess I'm more surprised/impressed? about fear's wider implications. It- emotions can create so many different things. Behavior... Actions.. Like that saying about how small beginnings can lead to large outcomes. Like when I think about humans I'm usually trying to break it down/understand from a computer aspect. How we have the general stuff like memory, power supply, inputs, outputs, etc. What component or level in technology would be equivalent to how we experience emotion and its' side effects in computer terms? So with like how we have a HDD/SSD/Whatever and Processor kind of included in the "brain package", when we start to describe how emotions affect us in our heads, how can we/what can we use to describe emotions in a relational sense since if that makes better sense? I'm not asking if computers experience emotion, but what has similar functions to the brain/body as emotions does for humans but for computers unless there isn't? ..Would it just be considered a type of reaction? So just a possible output?.... I don't know. Maybe... If there were emotions, it tries to determine the correct priority set? So with being happy, sad, angry, and all that good stuff just changes prioritization of actions to be taken that may/may not be relevant to the current situation. Is this just going into an AI related conversation? Am I onto anything here?

You guys ever wonder about that feeling you sometimes get when you just know something else is going on in the world that isn't being known? Good or bad. It doesn't matter. It kind of just pulls you in like a magnet. It must be like an inventor's knowing a really great idea- there is a better one not too far away. So as to always strive for their 'perfection' they keep experimenting- they keep on building. I am wondering about fear- the word itself seems like its meaning is really the result of the lack of not knowing something and feeling unable to do anything about it. "He was paralyzed with fear", no no no. His paralysis WAS fear itself- at least at a higher dosage. Perhaps losing a sense of your surroundings/understandings about certain aspects of the world is a result of fear. In this case it was losing his knowledge of mobility- or ability to speak clearly or at all. It can be overwhelming like a computer forgetting how to do subtraction but to the mind- the body is a consequence of the minds' failure- almost/maybe a malfunction. So when we try to picture the world from what we know and realize there is much much more- does it not scare you in the slightest what else can there be going on?

I tried looking for the last half hour on my other pc for any remnants of my history and couldn't find anything. I can tell you I might have done a bit of digging into their background so it was not an easy task or the original page(s) to what I am citing is no longer up for whatever reason. I'm sure it's out there somewhere and I'll link if I ever find it again. Feel free to disregard my claim until then then..

Actually the guy left the project not too long ago if I'm correct. If you look around on the web you'll see his post explaining his reasoning. But it doesn't mean other people cannot pickup where he and some others left off. There is much work to do as we can all tell.

Hello I am here because I have referred to this site before and found the discussions/community pretty useful.. I was just removed from a program for learning web development so my life kind of sucks atm- But I'll try to rediscover my sanity here and there. Interests I have... definitely: Web development.. Webpages, servers, etc. Mainly Javascript Security Raspberry Pi/Arduino Wicca As well as WIN98SE un/related topics. I'm always great for innovative idea discussions so let me know if you ever want to chat. If you know how to get a hold of the retrozilla creator (this person's profile) please pm me! One of the main reasons I'm here.. I look forward to becoming one with this awesome community!
