where is the highway since i am not going your way

i came across this on tumblr

and got me thinking about logic

for though the answers to the question are labelled creative
they are not technically wrong


they are just not answers the questioner was looking for
but the thing with language and it use and misuse
and the whole strata of the double entendre

that is what influenced wittgenstein
and why some people prefer mathematics
but what would become of poets

wittgenstein also felt that many of the problems philosophy or philosophers were grappling with
was just a matter of somersaulting semantics


but the question is what happens when rigidity comes up against fleeting freedom
for some a blank page is nether realm
all buttoned up is akin to a straight jacket

 which ties in to the latest episode aka episode ten of susei no gargantia
which blew me away

and it goes into the rational
between the hideauze and humans
quick fact hideauze were humans who used advanced science to alter their bodies
to adapt to the aquatic domain to survive the ice age earth was going to go through
where as the humans used science to build themselves a space colony to venture out into space and return in the possible future

and without going to much into the story we get into the part that blew me away
since the main character guy with the silver hair
is a soldier trained to kill the hideauze without prejudice
finds out their from the human family
albeit with tinkered genetics
he comes to doubt himself and needs to reestablish his position
the machine you see in the pic above^^^

deduces that their is no reason to reestablish himself his goal is the same the protection of humanity
without going into the whole thing what is humanity......
and that humanity if they were equipped with strong versatile bodies like the genetically tinkered one
it would not have been necessary to develop machines like the one in dialoguing  to him currently

he then states that he is the crystallization of humanities intelligence

for one it can fly
two it ready and equipped for space travel
thats right
body stasis oxygen storage
three has healing functions
four ai is smarter than 80% of people
combined
since it translated a language it had never come across before within a day
providing floating led screens for the pilot to read in his native tongue
and with ridiculous range
life wifi on roids
five incredible offensive capabilities
six incredibly durable
seven has auto pilot

to just name a few

he goes on to say he is there to offset the fragile body mankind has

and that humans that surpass their limits
create civilizations and develop their intellect
and that this civilization is what separates mankind from the other primates

but the hideauze
had thrown away their human forms and now have no physical limits
well episode one we did see them flying up in space

chamber goes on to say that if living beings only seek out happiness and gratification
it is not necessary for them to have higher intellect
but the human race relies solely on machines like chamber

and that the hideauze by overcoming the intellect have reached an extreme state of existence
and now he battles for the dignity of the human race

and that with something that shares the same building blocks as you faliure means extinction
and that one seeks out civilization and the other abandons it

and that the battle is between two different survival strategies

which questions us what would we do in that situation
flee earth
or evolve in a sense adapt and change
to or from

it also ties in with a recent song by lupe fiasco animal pharm


where one of the most poignant lyrics from the song does it make me better because i have thumbs
for some people argue based on this
that why humans are better because of their thumbs

we have seen through examples
the clashes of opposites
but some will say must their be a dominant must their be looming threats of extinction
can there be coexistence
but some will say their is no such thing as coexistence
it is just breather in between the war for dominance

for would it be right for a human to say i am better than you hideauze
or ant or any other random animal i am better than you because of my thumbs and because of my civilization

the hideauze could say i am better than you because of my durable body or because i can fly or run fast and that i have no need for civilization
but you could not live in nature like i


and in closing one could say dominance creates war
for if one took the saying my way or the highway to heart
and one coveted everwhere there would be no highway so one would have to fight to have an area of their own
or on the other hand if one coveted everywhere and you have your own place and they invaded war would ensue

so could one argue that war is tantrum in between peace time

^^ here is the link to the gargantia bit

Everyone everyone lets be civil shall we

So for anyone who has never played any of the incarnations of this game


on a serious note i am not promoting this game i am not an advert

but the game does give you a new perspective
for you are really a leader of  a kingdom how big and how long it lasts is up to you




you  get advisors who you can choose to or not to listen to and you have to be wary not to just follow what they say

on the civ 5 version you more so decide which one of your amany advisors you want to follow





and as the leader you can choose which of type of government you are in dependent on the game

the civ game on ps3 lets you choose within ranges from
despotism monarcy etc


where certain actions like just going to war will be blocked by your councilors or people

but you ultimately choose how you want to play do
you try to win te game through technological advancements

do you try to win through diplomacy

or do you win through a monetary victory

or do you hunt down every last civilization till you are the last standing

you can go so far as nuking other cities
on one incarnation

you can build the un and since you build it you hold the most votes and can vote against anyone
else having nuclear arms even though you do

and this is the closest most people will get to that kind of influence and control

this meme will flash before your eyes


for as your influence grows such as building monuments

but others may have coverted it and denounce you because of it they may even stunt your growth
and box you in so you cannot expand territory your people need
and they may not trade items you want
or allow diplomacy so though you are boxed in you can go through their land without
sparking war


so your resolve will be put to the test
if you will stick to your other world stance
and not take over cities
decline war
or maybe you hide behind its just a game
and become genghis khan


their is also another tidbit added into the game
the raising of cities


so in closing to know what leader you will be or where your morals lie try out civ 5

they say power corrupts but can you corrupt what was not capable of being corrupted
