who and what

It all started as a YouTube series, called 'I Power', about leading a pro-active lifestyle. Initially, the main attraction of the series was that it showed the more serious and intellectual side of professional gamer and extravagant Internet celebrity Chiren Boumaaza, aka 'Athene'. It quickly turned into an international movement when its viewers started forming a community of 'Self-Development Activists' (SDA) on the series' forums. The community revolved around not only self-help and psychology, but is perhaps even more known for its activism, primarily surrounding the topic of net neutrality.

 

 

 

 

As the community grew and the movement became relevant, producers Reese Leysen and Chiren Boumaaza began to focus on taking the concept of SDA beyond the traditional self-help topics and into the realm of actual scientific research.

Chiren's findings in his studies of neuroscience, psychology and sociology were documented in Reese's 'God is in The Neurons documentary, which can be watched here in its entirety.

I'm the sure this is the one of the best example of quantum mechanics.

Nobody is aware that ultimate possibilities of universe and they sure this time's physic laws are latest technology like, when cavemen found wheel at first time.

We are the ones limiting ourselves, that thing is has no possibilities as "god can't be us" . I've achieved many impossibilities with a new thinking way.

I love the fact it's acalled Atheneism and that it's a joke... it shows your side of humour in even seriouse things. Humour is one of the greatest weapons of all ;)

I've watched the youtube : Chiren's Livestream 1/26/11.  I've watched it up to minute 13:47 . And from what i understood of it is , that Chiren found a way to quantify Conciousness ? Now , what i deduce from this is that by being able to quantify conciousness as something physical , it brings it more to the scientific side and out of th philosophical side. Also making it more like something that is can be viewed objectively as opposed to subjectively.  Are my assumptions correct??

Comment by ninja ninja on February 25, 2011 at 9:32am

this response is directed towards rage, ants seem to work together for the better of the ant colony, which i dont know what the goal of an ant colony exactly is. what is for the better of the human colony? one answer doesn't exist if you ask me. you cannot compare humans to ants in one sentence in my opinion. math is like a language. and like spoken languages in todays world if you are not knowledgeable about the language it will sound like jiberish and you will not understand what the other person is even trying to say at all. how can you explain what is going on if you do not understand the language? I do not understand yet but wanting to learn is the first step i think.

try tell an ant that he is part of a bigger picture...u think he is that stupid to not know that?the only thing that will confuse him is a math behind that picture.

that is how i see this movie.

I completely agree athene.

I say the internet is like football in some way or another, If you notice commercialization really is destroying the sport it is moving the attention away from the fans and more to the TV companies, It is also now having a disasterous effect on footballers themselves who right now seem to care all about the money and not for the club or it's fans for that matter so to compare to this to the internet it is like saying the fans are the users and the clubs are the internet providers google, verizon, etc,,

So just like football the internet is a public service that people love and without it great anguish would be caused.

Being right

In a sense I want to blow up the words “right” and “wrong”.  I want to banish them from my vocabulary.More specifically I do not ever wish to BE right.And I do not ever want to say to someone else “you are WRONG”. What is the purpose of being or proving oneself to be, right? And what is the purpose of proving someone else is wrong?Apart from some sort of ego based sense of satisfaction what is the purpose of these things? Can anyone give me an answer to this question? If someone says something…See More
