Is anyone watching this? It's fucking REDICULOUS! They have wayyy too many supporting resources to be bullshit. Like the whole thing about the 8/13 skulls found so far all being found at gravitational vertexes on the surface of our planet? Feel free to discuss if you have seen it.

Have you watched it yet? It has some pretty convincing evidence in it, and not just from a mythological standpoint. They have some crazy scientific, superstitious, geographical, and even astronomical backing.

yeah true. but they say that the skulls have special powers  and that they are cursed but what it usually is, is just people superstitions getting the best of them and for some people just touching a crystal skull can make them feel better

Not going to lie buddy, I was just digging for more big words that had to do with the show. You sound like a major dicktoucher though.

Maybe you should open your mind.
We are all in a society that is usually focused around thinking one way and that all others are wrong.
Think differently, broaden horizons and you will get so much more out of life.

I dont mean believe everything, just people shouldn't pinhole their beliefs to whatever they were taught or however they were raised.

i'm confused now. So you can rationalize against something BUT you shouldn't use the rationality that you've developed over the course of your experiences we call life?

how do you want me to tell what is a good idea and what is a bad idea? I could flip a coin...

yeah, i'm going to get so much more out of life by believing in some Armageddon theories that involve some crystal skulls supported by things like superstition. i should definitely open my mind to this kind of stuff otherwise i will have lived a sad excuse of a life and will die miserable.






or maybe i'll just continue getting further and further depressed by the rapidly increasing stupidity of humanity as a whole.

Yeah I take back the second thing  said, my thoughts got slightly confused.
I'm trying to say that the more experience and more well rounded knowledge you have can change perspectives instead of being pinholed into one mindset.

Just trying to say that theres a lot more to this theory than just the end of the world and if you learned more, maybe you would be interested or your thoughts would change.

so is this kind of information exclusive only to the discovery channel or can i find some real sources online?
currently, my thoughts are that nobody on this planet knows what's going on, nobody on this planet will ever know what's going on, and anybody on this planet who claims to have some understanding of what is going on is simply trying to find an alternative answer to the only logical answer we currently have, which is this: we are of little or no importance to anything.
i'd like to see something that would change my thoughts, i really would. i doubt that day will ever come though.

You can find some sources online, as I have already done that. I'm not trying to be an asshole but you should really watch this. I'm not convinced of anything either but despite that, I still found this to be an interesting program. You don't have to be so cynical about it, it just has some really cool information.

Fuck you, he asked a good question.

And to answer that question, I dunno how you decide what to believe or not. The world we live in has been crafted so by our basic knowledge and understanding, but some of the greatest leaps in human achievement are when a few dangerous thinkers refute what we think we know and put the puzzle pieces together differently. Theres credence in being suspicious of assumed knowledge.

can i get a link? i don't have cable in my room and our satellite/satellite receiver isn't working.

sure, i find a lot of things interesting. especially things where people claim they know when the world is going to end, or they found aliens, or goldfish are secretly plotting to take over the world. i find it all very interesting. i don't look at it as useful information though, simply entertainment.

It's pretty cool to see the results of Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton work out because of their stepping outside the box, BUT i'm going to say that it was only by luck, and thus by chance that these revolutionary ideas came about, and that In being guided by the reason i've developed through experiance is enough to allow me to asertain fairly reliable knowlege while not limiting me to being decieved by assumed knowledge.

The Mitchell-Hedges skull, made of one piece of crystal, with a detachable jaw, all anatomically correct to a startling degree. IBM, the foremost experts in crystals, cannot provide an explanation for how it was carved. All of our modern methods would probably have resulted in the crystal shattering. Cool shit.

Life based off assumed reason is good, true. But if you dont consider the possibility that our knowledge is wrong at the core, you risk never having a breakthrough and surmounting wrong conclusions that limit understanding. I think its important to at least question our reasoning occasionally.

Thanks for that. Another thing, under an electron microscope the surfaces of the skulls have tiny, perfectly parallel ridges that could quite possibly not be carved by modern machinery.
