We are the 88% that refuse to post on the UG until.. well until something.. but until we figure that out, we will camp out here in the What If section. The red headed steup child of mma.tv forums. The neglected Taiwanese baby that can only speak Cantonese and not Mandarin and eats his noodles with a fork not chopsticks. That one lamplight the city refuses to fix. The unfed hippopautamus at the zoo. The plumbing pipe that remains unfitted at the store even after decades of shoppers passed it by. Join us. Tell us stories of your hardship.

lookoutawhale 438 Member Since: 1/8/09 Posts: 6601	why dont you plug in the dreamcast. If you can, try and get Aladdin for it. Ill grab some takeout. Are you in the mood for some chinese, pizza, subway, quiznos? I was thinking of having a POW WOW and really bang out some ideas here on this occupy what if movement. You have ignored this user.

If we can get more people it would be better, but at the moment its just us 2 in this pow wow theres a possibility rick storm might join us. One of the problems as you've addressed before is that the What If forum is the place where threads die. but... and this is a big butt.. what if... in the What If forum threads were born, blossomed, matured and then were sent to the UG when ready. An incubator for thought. What your thoughts on this?   You have ignored this user.

as has been mentioned, what if... is a quasi-mythical region, much like the legendary Elephant Graveyard, except here it is ideas that lay down and die.  the cycle is a circle: a death is the birth of emptiness, birth is the death of ignorance. As elephants leave behind precious ivories, could not these lumbering old ideas leave something of value?  could they, in death, give birth phoenix-like to new life? in dying do they not enrich the soil with their intellectual nutrients?  if the premise is accepted, would this not be, theoretically, the most intellectually fecund region of the underground where a fresh new universe of thought could ripen on the tender vine? the thought is not the thinker, nor is the thinker the thought. i see the what if... as being capable of representing all  the many threads in the tapestry that compose our multiverse.   it is, i feel, only a matter of time that one of these posited possible potentialities proves true. i believe in what if... the only forum brave enough to treat everything not as fact, but as an inquest into the truth.  all is as glimpsed, before the fire.  remember, even a broken clock is exactly right twice a day.  unless its digital, then its just broken.
