    i'm a big fan.

    would recommend checking out some of the rest of that scene's podcasts. Duncan Trussel Family Hour, Ari Schaffir's Skeptic Tank and most the stuff on Deathsquad. Podcasts are a fascinating format. Conversations are long and intense so you can really get to see how someone thinks which is fascinating and beneficial when devloping the way that you want to think.

    sup all

    been interested in starting to collect some edible mushrooms. have found a lot of species in pine plantations and would like to try eating some but finding it hard to find some solid information like just a list of edible mushrooms.

    did some forum searching and going to try some slippery jacks and hopefully porcini from adelaide hills.

    have heard there are milk caps around but not sure what type of subspecies to look for in SA.

    any other types of mushrooms to try? keen to try strange tasting weird ones as long as they aren't deadly.

    any other relevant info on the subject would be great.

    cheers

    sounds awesome. how are you going to approach it in regards to yourself or westerners on camera?

    those peyote and iboga documentaries were quite good IMHO as the main white dude in each approached the people in a respectful manner and also were interesting enough to add to the story themselves.

    the alternative is to always be behind the camera and interview them and get the subtitles put on later which can also be very good and feel more like you are stepping into their world rather than watching someone else step into their world.

    oh yeah and cycle - i got a dvd of chi gong movements. is crazy, after doing some of these exercises you hold your hands together palm facing and its like you have two magnets pushing themselves away from each other. feels crazy and is meant to be the feeling of chi moving through you.

    more than the novelty though the exercises are meant to be very good for you. now if only i actually kept at some of this stuff instead of spending so much time in front of computer screen...

    depends on your definition of chi. some translations you can read like breath or air. opening up chi pathways is oxygenating your body. but its much more than this as well. can mean the enrgy that exists in everything as well.

    im saying yes to the question cause whatever energies that fit the description that do exist, do exist, therefore at least some types of chi exist. perhaps not the kung fu chi blasts in cartoons but hey, you cant have it all.

    ah it's not actually, just my ideas. I see how you would think that, but i've tried and still can't really understand buddhism lol. Ah anyway, everything is made of atoms right? So when we die those atoms are still there, so maybe we just become a part of the universe and a higher level of awareness. A bit vague, i need to think some more.

    cheers

    for what its worth, its my opinion that our conciousness are these atoms dancing together in a certain way and death is the end of the dance.

    i therefore cant see how a higher awareness after death would work.

    if australia was under threat and the fight was justified then sure, i would fight. what would this world be like if no one stood up to the germans?

    wouldnt fight in a war i objected to though.

    edit: good to see others find the rebel group the sexier option in the poll. too many "tomorrow when the war began" readers perhaps.

    sure, absolutely. dont wanna hate on Gandhi cause he is an inspirational man and a key figure in india's quest for independence.

    that said, do you think he was a strongly sexual man before his celibacy?

    of course, in our culture that has negative implications as our advertising in particular uses the fear of sexual inadequacy to control us while in reality there are all types of sexualities out there. some people need sex every day, some never. nothing wrong with any of these unless it hurts someone.

    but yeah, with any case of celibacy i wonder how much the person is fighting their instincts to control it. for some it must be amazingly hard, for others completely unnoticeable. we all have different biology.

    amazing technology. i have heard of software for songwriting that tailors tunes to be as popular as possible. not sure how well it works or how much its used. really popular tunes still need to be slightly original. just not too much.

    also i heard about some software that you put all of a composers works into it and it calculates the patterns behind it and pumps more out.

    the dude who created the software had a series of concerts of music that was like it was from Bach and people got really offended by it.
