The picture you linked to me was Bosch-like but doesn't fit too well to the description of Bosch here (it isn't that crazy/surreal) so this is fairly accurate in that sense.
Gotta love those Putins.
This is really amusing. Especially for me, cause I study Art History. :)
The real thing works actually like this: You look at as many pictures as possible and with the time you learn to recognize the artists. To distinguish a real painting from a forged is a little bit more complicated. You can use the Morellian method for that. But forgers use it, too, that's the problem. :/
Ha, I was wondering who this was (Pieter Bruegel).

Very humorous. I'm partial to art from the Renaissance and even took an "Art of Italy" course back in college, when I was a studio art major for a year. Much of my own artwork, and love for art in general , was inspired by the Renaissance Masters.
One last question, would you go to a Star Trek transporter assuming you will rematerialize from different particles?
Here's a related SMBC comic.
So you believe that life is something outside the material world and that we are more that biological machines. But we are already able create synthetic yeast so I guess this applies to something which has a "soul" or something.
I'm sorry, to be honest, I don't really understand it. I don't much about biology and it's not written in my native language. Makes it difficult. I still think the bodies would be dead, but maybe they could be reanimated. I think, it would be a very complicated and expensive method...
I see you're having a chat with talking "semidual" wristwatch, kadda.

Haha, great thread Lungs.
I majored in Biology(before and after majoring in art) at my university, and even after studying chemistry and physics during that time I do not think that life can be explained by physical laws alone. I mean, obviously physical laws are a significant and extremely important component, but I do believe there are forces that animate or direct life. In other words, life is created by both physical laws and unobservable phenomenon and energy. Humans cannot create life from scratch, but from DNA and other molecules that have already come into existence through ways that are not understood. Personally, I think organic molecules are manifestations of energy that become matter in order to create life. Life cannot "become" without a vessel for existence. Making a vessel, whether it is a yeast cell or some other cell, only creates something than can either mimic life, such as A.I. or captures and harnesses the forces that make life possible, the forces that animate us all. In the latter, the cell really would be alive and posses life energy that could develop further. I don't know, that is how I see life. It is something greater than the sum of its parts. It is how I see the world through the lens of an artist. I have no proof, only intuition.
I do not know, but I suppose much of it is a quest to discover the true nature of the observable universe. Maybe it is to overturn the worldviews found in religion and strengthen more modern ones? Maybe it is just some people suffer from a mixture of insatiable curiosity and a dose of God complex.
omg :lol:
