My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Part 10: Vinyl & Octavia Go to White Castle

No, I was wondering what it was since there's a Red Ants song where he speaks of it. Says he dwells in Newton, Isaac and Chaos theories. I know the two other, but I did not know chaos. It's interesting :P

It is, strange how the interesting things are the ones you'll probably never use unless you specialise in it (Philosophy, Psychology, etc).

Jesus Christ, the SDK takes ages to install.
For something that`s only 2GB to download, it sure is taking it`s time with the installation process. Should be worth it either way.

Anywhoo, how`s everyone doing?

Oh hai Chipperific

What is that Ziru?

Mathematical version of birthphilosophy, if I read this correct.

Like, if you have something that will forever rise, and then change the basic amount, the growth will not be controlable. In philosophy we like to compare it to a child, and if you could implant a memory inside the head of an infant. How would its life change from that memory alone? And with that, how much of our personality are from nature, and how much comes from memoria?

I'm liking this :P It's a bit too math for me at some points though.

Yeah. What we want and what we can is changeable, but what we are allowed to do is limited.

I haven't seen you a lot around here recently. Are you ill? Usually you don't leave the place unless you're ripped apart from it and shoved into a room in a mental ward. At which point you usually focus all your energy into telepathically using the site, which only takes around 10 minutes with the practice you've gained.

everypony is best pony.

That was only during Thread 9. Now Luna is.

I don't get it o_o

Guy walking along. Guy sees butterfly and stops to look at it. This causes him to be just late enough to miss his bus to his work. Being late to work causes him to lose consideration for a promotion. No promotion causes lots of tension between him and his wife. Tension causes separation. Separation causes despair. Guy commits suicide.

It's referred to as Chaos Theory or sometimes as "The Butterfly Effect". If that guy hadn't stopped to observe the butterfly, he would have been on time and everything would have been fine. The tiniest of events can have catastrophic consequences.

[Freyera]

heyo guys! I'm fine how about you two?

it is so awesome! /)^3^(\

Grats for you!

3chaotic5me <.<

I approve of your newfound love for your origins, my friend.

Chaos theory is interesting.

I have that shit in my physics book
confusing shit

I've been working 50 hour weeks for the last 2 months (5 days a week, 10 hour shifts, Day Shift on Wednesday, Night Shift Thur - Sun), so I've been pretty busy

I"ll try to be around more

This just sounds like a cause and effect chain.

^ This.

A choice leads to a consequence etc.

Matrix toyed around with it a lot, now that I think about it.

[Flutterguy]

Matrix trilogy sucked.

[Deleted]

Steins;Gate would be pretty interesting anime for you zirusianna, it's about butterfly effect and shit.

also it's so cool sonuvabitch
I should stop saying this

They tried to be deep and came up with confusing.

Look into Chaos Theory. It's a decent movie, if you like Ryan Reynold's acting and is a decent example of Chaos Theory at work (no science-y stuff with it, though).

I'm doing good. Just waiting on my last patient for the day to arrive shortly.

That Luna is best poni? Yes.

Scrubs had a not-quite-as-depressing episode like that, mixed in with another movie (Go?) that showed alternate things happening. Season 3, and it featured an actual butterfly that started the chain. But I agree with Frey here, it just seems like a chain of events, it doesn't seem like it deserves its own special name.
