A Warning

THis whole thread is insane and, quite frankly, I'm a little concerned that I may become infected by it.

Look, Teelaclarke has a point
Behind all that dribble there may be method in her madness.

The internet is basically just a bunch of millions of teeny tiny little networks all connected together to form a big-ass network.

A network is an interconnected system of things or people. Most people affiliate a network in terms of computer networks. But hang on a minute.

I have to say that we as humans (though we are proud to have constructed the mighty internet) are not the original authors of the concept of a network.

There are networks everywhere in nature, not just in Information technology. They exist in all of the physical sciences, and in all of the applied sciences, and all of the social sciences. Networks form part of the basis of all living and non-living things. The breakfast you ate this morning (if you remember) requires endless arrays of networks in order for it to exist on your kitchen table.

Social interaction is a network of people communicating with each other, sending and receiving information. We may as aspies consider ouselves in this regard as having a "network problem" - or at least having a low bandwidth.

The very essence of reality relies upon a system of interconnections - according to string theory, reality consists of the interactions between strings and D-branes, all wonderfully moulded in 11 dimensions.

Now, what happens when all of these networks in nature come together? They form bigger networks, which in turn form bigger networks, and bigger networks , and .... you get the point.

Therefore, I can say that Teelaclarke was right in her slightly awquard interpretation. The "Internet" was created by man, but the basis to which the internet was made has been copied from nature.

I read Teelaclarke stating that the internet was around before reality and what not, and there are beings in the internet and what not. HEY, who knows, Teelaclarke may be a religious person, for what I can think, she is trying to explain her interpretation of God.

I don't think Teelaclarke is crazy, and I don't like Wrong Planet members teasing her for starting this thread.

it's way beyond time to stop accusing members of being crazy etc.

please stop now.

everyone is entitled to their opinions. please address the issue and not the person.

Eh... you're really jumping through a lot of logical hoops there. While what you're saying MIGHT have been what Teela meant, I'd feel more comfortable with it coming from her...

The sad fact is, most of the time when people say something like this, I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but then ultimately it turns out they really DO mean it in the sense that they say it.

Its like the people I'd know who I thought were just making a harmless racial joke... only to later realize that they really are racist.

Its easy to assume that the person you talk to is thinking on the same level you are, or is as tolerant as you are, but its usually the wrong assumption IMO.

EDIT: this was a response to White Raven

ohhhh Sean, I think this is all getting a bit ugly. I was saying in another thread it's like usenet, this thread - you know heaping scorn and ridicule on someone's ideas. There's plenty of people who are interested in Teela's ideas, I don't know why you are participating just to put her down, are you having a perseveration about this or something? A lot of people would consider your ideas about 'end times' way out or crazy, you know. We all have our own crazinesses.

...I think I'm gonna start crying now...
