The 4 Elements
Ancient civilizations believed in the four elements in the creation of life. even some belief systems and religions still hold the ideal. Although we have ‘evolved’ and discovered a lot over the years, the idea is still as real now as it was back then. The Chinese use a fifth element of metal, and I am sure there are other religions or civilizations that have other such differences.
Daniel ClarePublished 5 years ago in FuturismReview of 'Emergence' 1.2
A good second episode of Emergence last week, in which the main action are the bad guys, or superior people, or people from the future, or whoever; they are trying to clean up all traces of what happened the previous week.
Paul LevinsonPublished 5 years ago in FuturismReview of 'Emergence' 1.1
Emergence, which debuted on ABC last week, is another example of a recently well-worn theme back on network television yet again: a child or teenager who mysteriously appears, and turns out to have some kind of superpower.
Paul LevinsonPublished 5 years ago in FuturismThe Rise of Skywalker or the Fall of Rey?
So how about that teaser, huh? Quite a curveball to say the least with that last shot of Rey looking like the second coming of Darth Maul. I must admit, I am pleasantly surprised with the reveals of both teasers for Rise of Skywalker. First, we learn that Palpatine is back, and now we’re given the impression that Rey may do more than just flirt with the dark side in this one. My question is: What is the connection between both reveals?

2017 was the year of sadness and excitement for Doctor Who fans. In early 2017, current Doctor at the time Peter Capaldi announced he would be stepping down as the Doctor and Series 10 (ending in July 2017) would be his final series. Capaldi, [Pearl] Mackie and [Matt] Lucas all bowed out in the Christmas Special “Twice Upon a Time,” which saw David Bradley portray the First Doctor.
Lewis JefferiesPublished 5 years ago in FuturismCan Cognition Be Explained by Folk Psychology?
Ever since perception was thought to be regulated by animal spirits, neuroscientists and philosophers have come a long way when discovering cognition. However, there has been a great deal of debate over who should continue the search for answers. Many of the current methods used to explain this phenomenon have been grounded in folk psychology (FP)—which is, briefly, the set of common sense concepts that we use to predict and explain behavior and which many believe fails to offer the reliable explanations that are required for this largely unknown mind to brain relationship. This work identifies the challenges to neuroscientific attempts to understand the mind, including the opinions from Churchland, Slors, Anderson, and Hamilton, each offering their own views on current methods and how research should be continued by neuroscience. As well, we will discuss what challenges may arise and how neuroscientists must work to overcome them.
Nicole AddisonPublished 5 years ago in FuturismDay 7
The first few days of when Violet was activated felt as if they took ages to end, despite the fact that it was a fantastic time. That being said, as the week is starting to trail off to the end, I feel as if time is getting faster and faster. Which is something that I do not want because the time that I am spending with her is some of the happiest moments I have had recently. The companionship and the warmth of a relationship are making me happier each day.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is my favorite video game of all time. Hands down, there is no other. I'm sure many will disagree and that's fine, they're probably not as big of a Star Wars geek as I am. But, this game made my childhood.

The Arch of a Lost Civilization (Part One)
Liz swam through the reef. Spotting a strange light, she approached a cavern. She looked back. Will the others worry? She continued onward. Something jumped out! It was just a school of fish. She squeezed her way through the tight entrance coming into an open space large enough for a few cruise ships. She looked to her right, spotting the source of a blue light. An arch stood, larger than the one in Mississippi. Liz swam closer. There were glyphs on it. They were unlike the ones she has seen in history class. Some were obscured by gunk. She reached a hand out to wipe it off. Then a blast sent her back and into the dark. *********************************************************************

Introduction In 2016, I saw that the astrological community was very divided on who was going to win the presidential elections, but I noticed that these astrologers had one thing in common: their predictions were driven more by bias than astrology. Hilary Clinton supporters were predicting her win, while Trump supporters predicted his win. Not once did I see a Democrat predict Trump's victory nor did a Republican predict Clinton's. For someone actually wanting to study astrology, it was very disappointing.
Kaitlyn MauraPublished 5 years ago in FuturismLorelie's Wish
I am destined to be alone for all of eternity. Not as a punishment; I was here long before man, and I will be here long after. Modern mortals call me the grim reaper or death, but those who know me, which are a select few, call me Lorelei. Yes, I’m a girl; most of humanity’s modern artists depict me as some stalky, bony dude. Though it’s not like I have the authority to change them. Although, it is always hilarious seeing the look on spirits face when they take a peek at my modest chest area.
