Cozmosus Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 There was a video on TED.com about empathy. If I can find it again I'll pm it to you, otherwise, You can go find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Soldier Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 First of all, Kakkon: Empathy is in the dictionairy with this definition: [i]To show empathy is to identify with another's feelings. It is to emotionally put yourself in the place of another. The ability to empathize is directly dependent on your ability to feel your own feelings and identify them.[/i] Empathy is not some magical power, it is the way to-as stated above-identify and feel what another is feeling, and is usually helped by having been in that position yourself, not simply saying 'I know how you feel'. Many people will actually know how another feels, but not because of mystical powers, but because they have been in a similar, maybe exactly the same, before. And Most occasions of psychic powers-Most supposed Psychic visions and seeing into the future Etc-have been proven fake. So no, it is not just me who feels this, and no I do not believe that the Idea of Psychic powers are not real is the one and only truth, I'm simply stating that it is widely thought that they are false, and that it is Pysically impossible to read anothers mind, with the exception of the twins in Aisa with connected heads, but in their case that is because they share each others brain. All in all, it is impossible(Atleast, in most of the worlds eyes) that you will have psychic powers, and if they were real, it would be very unlikely you would have them. Secondly, 6-shot: Sorry, I didn't notice your app and love revolvers. I'm also in the middle of reading the Dark tower series by Stephen king, which has increased my love for revolvers and the like, and has inspired my app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakkon_Wolf Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I have to say, you've done your homework, but as I said, twins (American, European, African and etc) may be able to feel directly what the other is feeling even from a great distance, these phenomena are unexplained but, nonetheless, existing. But people are free to believe what they will, I personally do not believe in god, well i think there may be a great power, that we call "god", but I just don't like the fanatical belief in that power. Another thing is that the psychological term "empathy" and the mystical term "empathy" are two different terms, though similar... Okay I'd love to continue this argument, but we're getting way off topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Soldier Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I agree, we are off topic. And I dont like that phrase, as the last time I did homework(Before the date it was due) was about 2 years ago, but thank you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Soldier Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Name: Asgol Cretin Age: 209(I'm presuming that Vampires are immortal, as they usually are.) Code Name: Wise man Race: Vampire Personality: A cruel and descisive man, always searching for ways to be stronger. He is also very curious, and while he is inventing, he will try to solve unanswered mysteries, and his favourite pastime(besides killing humans) is riddling. He's also mad. Insane, totally insane. And famous, as he created the first eternal night machine. It covers the main city of the vampires in a shield of eternal darkness, creating an eternal night. However, it has to be recharged every month, leaving a day of light in the city. He also created mini versions of it, that can create night at the flick of a button within a 30 yard radius of the machine. Most Vampire elites and some demons have these devices, along with himself. Gender: Male Appearance: [IMG]http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd128/meh366/Anime%20males/vampire_boy.jpg[/IMG] Weapons: Blade extending from arm(In pic). Ritual knife. Assault rifle. Colt .45. Shadow device. Also has a laser implanted in his right eye, and an energy absorbing eyepatch over that eye that takes in and recycles the never ending stream of energy from the laser.

Magnet Soldier Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 First of all, do sectors indicate rank? Because I did indicate my character was not a normal member. Second, My Michael's last name was not Codiec, it was Rolandson. Third, Here's a song choice for you, the Name and lyrics seem to go with the institute: [spoiler=Reckless youth] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eG1_ybBLIM [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnet Soldier Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Sorry Six shot. My bullet hit first. Anyways(We were a bit of topic there. ), Glad you like the song. Kakkon wolf, I also listen to some heavier bands(My music taste tends to vary from something like Plain white t's all the way to something like AC/DC and on to Slipknot and stuff.) But that is my favourite band, and The institute are 'Reckless youths', so I thought it fit well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
