Hello to all people, this is my account If you want to discuss with me about something, I would highly recommend doing that with Discord, as from what I'd seen, it is the best way to communicate. You could do it at any time and I would do my best to reply to one of your DMs. My Discord Account: Imperialis Mechanis#5406 If you want to understand the true nature of the Force, just watch these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrU9YDoXE88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJS3Z2DYEO4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xki03G_TO4 In regards to the canonicity of SW Legends before the Disney Era: “Gospel or Canon, as we refer to it, includes the screenplays, the films, the radio dramas and the novelizations. These works spin out of George Lucas' original stories, the rest are created by other writers. However between us, we've read everything and much of it is taken into account in the overall continuity." - Sue Rostoni, Lucas Books and Lucas Licensing Managing Editor and Allan Kausch Continuity Editor for Lucasfilm, Star Wars Insider 23 Fall of 1994 "Continuity has been the supreme commandment at Lucasfilm for Shadows and all its Star Wars projects. The company had made the decision to not only expand its universe but have it unfold as a seamless chronicle. Whether a new star system is explored in a novel or a scene is set in ancient Jedi days from a comic series, nothing can contradict the history or logic of what has gone before. "To keep it all straight there is 'The Canon', a timeline of major events and lifespan of main characters prepared by the continuity editors of Lucasfilm and considered the in-house bible of the Star Wars universe." - Mark Cotta Vaz, The Secrets of Shadows of the Empire, 1996 “Basically, everything except those items marked with an “Infinity” logo (i.e. the Star Wars Tales comics) is considered canon.”-Sue Rostoni, Lucas Books and Lucas Licensing Managing Editor, May 30, 2003 "”Parallel universe” suggests that each universe can go in separate directions which really isn't the case with regard to the EU. The EU is bound by what is seen in the most current version of the films and by directives from George Lucas."-Leland Chee, Continuity Database administrator aka Keeper of the Holocron for Lucas Licensing, January, 2005 “Everything outside of the films was collectively known as the Expanded Universe serving as an extension of the same universe as the films. If something happened in a book or a comic, it could potentially affect everything else happening in the universe. Any discrepancies that resulted would be resolved or retconned (short for retroactive continuity, i.e. changes from previously established continuity) across the board to try and create some consistency.”-Leland Chee, Continuity Database administrator aka Keeper of the Holocron for Lucas Licensing, July 20, 2012 Favorite Movies: Idiocracy (2006) The Star Wars Original Trilogy (1977 - 1983) The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (1999 - 2005) Transformers (2007) Independence Day (1996) Battleship (2012) Starship Troopers (1997) Favorite Books: Fictional: Darth Bane: Path of Destruction (2006) Darth Bane: Rule of Two (2007) Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil (2009).

There are too many regularities of human behavior that the latter can adequately explain, but the former cannot." - From Modernity And Cultural Decline: A Biobehavioral Perspective "A serious weakness in this sociological theory is that it lacks a compelling causal account of why values shift in this way" - From Modernity And Cultural Decline: A Biobehavioral Perspective "Liberalism thus offers an impoverished, even mutilated form of life, in which what we would naturally value most we are forced to value least" - From Modernity And Cultural Decline: A Biobehavioral Perspective “The distinctive conditions that generated Western excellence are set to continue deteriorating so long as selection does not favor heroes, geniuses, and saints, but rather “Last Men” whose quest for personal happiness likely cannot sustain a civilization in the long run.” - From Modernity And Cultural Decline: A Biobehavioral Perspective “Intelligence is like the processing speed of a computer and how much complexity it can deal with before it simply freezes and shuts down.” - From At Our Wits' End by Edward Dutton “If we return to the computer analogy, intelligence loosely corresponds to the processing efficiency of the computer, while personality reflects the types of software installed on it.” - From At Our Wits' End by Edward Dutton “Genius is a form of power. It is indeed a new source of power that adds to human capability. An analogy would be that genius is like discovering a new supply of fuel – a new forest, coal seam or oil field. This new power can be used constructively, or destructively – for tools or for weapons; and a weapon can be used for legitimate defence or for malicious torture." - From The Genius Famine by Edward Dutton "Genius is somewhat like a local reorganization of reality to create new capability or efficiency or effect, the insights and theory necessary for such a reorganization, or a technology or tool that enables such a reorganization.” - From The Genius Famine by Edward Dutton “I have no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied… that babies are born pretty much alike and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, man and man are steady application and moral effort. It is in the most unqualified manner that I object to pretensions of natural equality.” - From Hereditary Genius by Francis Galton “Equality is a lie. A myth to appease the masses. Simply look around and you will see the lie for what it is! There are those with power, those with the strength and will to lead. And there are those meant to follow – those incapable of anything but servitude and a meager, worthless existence.” - Darth Bane “Equality is a perversion of the natural order!… It binds the strong to the weak. They become anchors that drag the exceptional down to mediocrity. Individuals destined and deserving of greatness have it denied them. They suffer for the sake of keeping them even with their inferiors.” - Darth Bane “The dark side will devour those who lack the power to control it. It’s a fierce storm of emotion that annihilates anything in its path. It lays waste to the weak and unworthy. But those who are strong can ride the storm winds to unfathomable heights. They can unlock their true potential; they can sever the chains that bind them; they can dominate the world around them. Only those with the power to control the dark side can ever truly be free.” Darth Bane "No, people are bounded by a natural order. A higher principle or divine providence that creates stratum between inferior and superior" - From Of Grimm and Nazis Chap. 6 "The Grimm are monsters; I am far more terrifying. I am a man who realizes the truth of the world." - From Of Grimm and Nazis Chap. 6 "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through...all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague." - From Marcus Tullius Cicero "In every controversy, most people care much less for what the truth is than for which side it's safer and more respectable to take." - From Joseph Sobran "The object of the superior man is truth." - From Confucius "Nobody is more inferior than those who insist on being equal." - From Nietzsche "There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.” - From Thomas Jefferson (paraphrasing Aristotle) "The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal" - From Aristotle "The love of complexity without reductionism makes art; the love of complexity with reductionism makes science." - From E.O. Wilson "Science needs the intuition and metaphorical power of the arts, and the arts need the fresh blood of science." - From E.O. Wilson "The art of Pablo Amaringo is worthy of analysis in the manner of the natural sciences. His paintings are a test case of consilience, an arresting fragment of culture that might be explained and thereby given added meaning at the next, biological level down in complexity from artistic inspiration." - From E.O. Wilson “Preferring a search for objective reality over revelation is another way of satisfying religious hunger.” - From E. O. Wilson “Every major religion today is a winner in the Darwinian struggle waged among cultures, and none ever flourished by tolerating its rivals.” - From E. O. Wilson “The cost of scientific advance is the humbling recognition that reality was not constructed to be easily grasped by the human mind. This is the cardinal tenet of scientific understanding: Our species and its ways of thinking are a product of evolution, not the purpose of evolution.” - From E. O. Wilson "To dissect a phenomenon into its elements, in this case, the cell into organelles and molecules, is consilience by reduction. To reconstitute it, and especially to predict with knowledge gained by reduction how nature assembled it in the first place, is consilience by synthesis. That is the two-step procedure by which natural scientists generally work: top-down across three or four levels of organization at a time by analysis, then bottom-up across the same levels by synthesis." - From E. O. Wilson "I have come to believe that real science depends for its long-term success on an explicit and pervasive pursuit of the ideal of transcendental truth. ‘Transcendental’ implies that a value is outside the material world; is real, stable and ultimate – it is aimed-at but can only imperfectly and imprecisely be known, achieved or measured. So, transcendental truth is an ideal but actual thing, located outside of science; beyond and above scientific methods, processes and peer consensus. Transcendental truth is not, therefore, evaluated by science; but is instead the proper aim of real science. It is regulatory of real science." - From Bruce Charlton "Real science is not, therefore, made of institutions, nor organizations, nor of rules, methods nor processes – real science is made by, done by, individuals: people working together to discover and communicate reality" - From Bruce Charlton “For monarchy to work, one man must be wise. For democracy to work, a majority of the people must be wise. Which is more likely?” - From Charles Maurras "I hate rebels, I hate traitors, I hate tyranny come from where it will. I have seen much of the world, and I have learnt from experience to hate and detest republics. There is nothing but tyranny & oppression, I have never known a good act done by a Republican, it is contrary to his character under the mask of Liberty. He is a tyrant, a many headed monster that devours your happiness and property. Nothing is free from this monster's grasp. A republic has no affection for its subjects. A King may be ill advised and act wrong, a Republic never acts right, for a knot of villains support each other, and together they do what no single person dare attempt" - From Lord Horatio Nelson "In fact, after having abolished the monarchy, the best of all governments, [the French Revolution] had transferred all the public power to the people - the people...ever easy to deceive and to lead into every excess..." - From Pope Pius VI, Pourquoi Notre Voix, June 17, 1793 "We can reasonably affirm that a true Right without the monarchy ends up deprived of its natural centre of gravity and crystallisation, because in almost all traditional states the principal reference point for realizing the independent and stable principle of pure political authority has been the crown." - From Julius Evola “The Imperial Household, as represented by the Emperor, has been praying for the welfare of the people while nurturing harmonious relationship with them. Based on the people’s respect and adoration for the Emperor, the Japanese people have stayed united. That is the essence of Japan’s national heritage, I believe.” - From Yoshiko Sakurai "If government is in the hands of the few, they will tyrannize the many; if in the hands of the many, they will tyrannize over the few. It ought to be in the hands of both, and be separated…they will need a mutual check. This check is a monarch." - From Alexander Hamilton Man is insatiable for power, he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man. - From Count Joseph De Maistre “I write by the light of two eternal truths: religion and monarchy, those twin essentials affirmed by contemporary events, and towards which every intelligent author should seek to direct our country.” - From Honore de Balzac, 1842 “Monarchy is the one system of government where power is exercised for the good of all.” - From Aristotle “In a Democracy, the real rulers are the dexterous manipulators of votes, with their placemen, the mechanics who so skillfully operate the hidden springs which move the puppets in the arena of democratic elections. Men of this kind are ever ready with loud speeches lauding equality; in reality, they rule the people as any despot or military dictator might rule it.” - From Konstantin Pobedonostsev "Japan is a nation that has over the centuries built a gentle culture centering around the Emperor, whose role it always has been to be the chief Shinto priest praying for the well-being of his people and state. Except for a few relatively brief periods, the Emperor has been far removed from the seat of power. Historically, he has protected the people with prayers, and they have been tightly united around the imperial household. Because the Emperor represents the symbol of the unity of the people, the nation was deeply touched by the many tireless visits he made to the afflicted areas in East Japan following the March 11 disaster. No nation is, or should be, devoid of a sovereign. In Japan, no one is better qualified to assume this post than the Emperor, who has continued to pray over the course of centuries for the welfare of his people and state as the chief Shinto priest. This role is certainly not for politicians, who are entrusted with mere political power. Based on this point alone, it is clear that meaningful revision of the constitution could hardly be achieved by simply modifying certain expressions or sections of articles." - From Yoshiko Sakurai "Constitutions become the ultimate tyranny. They're organized power on such a scale as to be overwhelming. The constitution is social power mobilized and it has no conscience. It can crush the highest and the lowest, removing all dignity and individuality. It has an unstable balance point and no limitations. I, however, have limitations. In my desire to provide an ultimate protection for my people, I forbid a constitution." - From Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert "...anarchism, while perhaps not the most attractive political philosophy, is certainly excellent medicine for epistemology, and for the philosophy of science." - From Against Method by Paul Feyerabend “My interpretation of scientific knowledge, for example, was a triviality for physicists like Mach, Boltzmann, Einstein and Bohr. But the ideas of these great thinkers were distorted beyond recognition by the rodents of neopositivism and the competing rodents of the church of 'critical' rationalism.” - From Against Method by Paul Feyerabend "The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God." - From Euclid “Science is essentially an anarchic enterprise: theoretical anarchism is more humanitarian and more likely to encourage progress than its law-and-order alternatives.” - From Against Method by Paul Feyerabend “The withdrawal of philosophy into a "professional" shell of its own has had disastrous consequences. The younger generation of physicists, the Feynmans, the Schwingers, etc., may be very bright; they may be more intelligent than their predecessors, than Bohr, Einstein, Schrödinger, Boltzmann, Mach and so on. But they are uncivilized savages, they lack in philosophical depth – and this is the fault of the very same idea of professionalism which you are now defending.” - From Paul Feyerabend “My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is, rather, to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits. The best way to show this is to demonstrate the limits and even the irrationality of some rules which she, or he, is likely to regard as basic. In the case that induction (including induction by falsification) this means demonstrating how well the counterinductive procedure can be supported by argument.” - From Paul Feyerabend "One can show the following: given any rule, however "fundamental" or "necessary" for science, there are always circumstances when it is advisable not only to ignore the rule, but to adopt its opposite." - From Against Method by Paul Feyerabend "What is surprising is that almost all the trends that developed within the sciences, Aristotelianism and an extreme Platonism included, produced results, not only in special domains, but everywhere; there exist highly theoretical branches of biology and highly empirical parts of astrophysics. The world is a complex an many-sided thing." - From Conquest of Abundance by Paul Feyerabend "Reading Feyerabend is like taking a cold shower. One steps in and is froze; one exits stimulated, invigorated, and agreeing with more of what he says than one is inclined to admit publicly." - From Philip J. Davis "The working biologist does not ask whether he should follow the prescriptions of this or that school of philosophy. When one studies the history of various theories in science, one sympathizes with Feyerabend (1975), who claimed, "Anything goes." Indeed this attitude seems to be what guides the biologist in most of his theorizing. He does what François Jacob (1977) — with respect to natural selection — has called ‘tinkering.’ He uses whatever method will get him at the moment most conveniently to the solution of his problem." - From Ernst Mayr "How significant is Aristotle? Well, I wouldn’t want to exaggerate, so let me put it this way: Abandoning Aristotelianism, as the founders of modern philosophy did, was the single greatest mistake ever made in the entire history of Western thought." - From Edward Feser "A soul is the actuality of a body that has life, where life means the capacity for self-sustenance, growth, and reproduction. If one regards a living substance as a composite of matter and form, then the soul is the form of a natural organic body. In humans, this soul contains the nature of a rational intellect, which ultimately is immaterial." - From Aristotle | |||||||
