# It /might/ be cubism.
edit: Hah. Count on _Felix to elevate the discussion to philosophy :)

(Of course, you are all imaginary people, by the way, I hope that you know this...)

# Although having said that, this sentence (attributed to David Deutsch):
"David Deutsch says that flowers are beautiful because they communicate accross a genetic gap,"

Is such astonishing bullshit, that I can't even begin to explain how stupid it is.

# Who the fuck is this David Deutsch, anyway?

# Haha, what a post that is.

# I think I remember that thread
pages and pages of art school argument over what cubism is.

Possibly the most highbrow discussion I've ever witnessed on /board

# Haha from where I was sitting
it looked more like a casual tourist falling into a shark pool.

# Also, someone in that thread was pimping his nodes...
node pimp!

# Boo :(
I've discussed about whether Lagrangians are covariant or not, the physicality of a non-covariant Lagrangian (of course it has one; if it didn't the whole of effective field theory would be pretty suspect), and something of the inner workings of acoustic black holes. I thought that was pretty highbrow.

Then again, you probably didn't see it.

# Was that discussion with Moon Unit Technologies? :)
(I helped save b3ta! The Alchemist king of the needlessly complicated, Fri 19 Mar 2010, 22:19, archived)
# Very possibly, yes
Indeed I think it probably was.

# I can't say it's stuck in my mind
so you're probably right. I didn't see it.

# That or it bored you rigid
Both are entirely possible.

# I was involved in a two-person economics pun thread once.
I think I win.

# That is pretty superior. Chemistry discussions would probably be pretty boring.
Although there was a documentary on last night about chemistry where I learned about the first guy to draw a chemical bond as a line on a page (he was Scottish!).

# Mine wasn't a chemistry discussion!
:( Mine was about quantum physics and field theories and condensed matter and, specifically, acoustic black holes which are exactly what they say, black holes for sound.

I'm going to go and sulk* now.




* Sleep, I get up in six hours to go to an airport. I love** flying.

** Fucking loathe


Edit: Also I actually agree, chemistry discussions *would* be pretty dull. Then again, so would theoretical physics ones, I guess, so I'm actually no better than you. I really am going to bed now.

# That second one is a rather hefty thread haha!
I scanned over it really fast, love how it starts with talk of cubism/coconut crabs and bounty bars only to end at "beano art".

# Yeah
He's become more of a rare luxury, though.

# that was ace :)
Some of my favourite b3ta conversations have been late night arguments with _felix
