Misogyny? hmmmm....naaaaah! That's too negative. Philogyny sounds better.
Racism: One who drives a race car, a racist.
What if a girl became World Chess Champion?

Is it possible to travel into the future (theoretically)? What is the future any way?

Not only that, but it has been going on for quite a few pages now. I found it quite entertaining.
As Theoriticalboy and The Grobe have pointed out to me, talking about women can be a sensitive issue. I believe that part of it has to do with the skill required to communicate with women effectively; and, obviously, that women can (and will!) perceive things very much different than originally intended. Multiply that factor by 10 if the woman in question is a Filipina.

I think the "Filapina" comment was an expression of what it is like to be an oppressed minority.

Talking about and with women is normal and easy for most of us, it's just that you shouldn't do it.
There are 3 members here that are suggesting that I should watch what I post. Perhaps a mod will come in and make short work of me! So long, gentlemen.
Hey man, why are we still discussing this? So what if a woman became WCC?
Let's rather discuss who that woman could be to become WCC! I think Pogonina could do it...

Because now this thread's about time travel and movies.

It's possible to "travel" into the theoretical future.
Oh, okay. But maybe we should open new thread? :unsure:

Time is just as meaningless as a rock. or a tree. . EVERYTHING is meaningless. The only meaningful things in life are what YOU decided are.
Hince we have different cultures (populations which developed meaning) etc.. Meaning is a human contrivance dirived from pattern recognition as apes (or earlier idk). Does it mean DANGER.. Does it mean FOOD.. Does it mean CHESS?
yeah.. not being emo in the least.. Just the serious truth of reality :) Which you can take any way you want.. Its your Choice decide what it means :)
Here's a pro tip if you want to dick around with deconstructivism--everything you've said everywhere in this forum implies that you believe in lots of objectively meaningful concepts and truths. Thus, truth, objectivity, meaning and the like are first principles for you as they are for everyone (even Prof. Derrida himself). You're just being willy-nilly here to reject the concept of meaning and then offer an absurdly concrete and specific narrative for its origins vis-a-vis a ham-fisted evolutionary biology trope.
I didn't know Derrida was using deconstruction that way...I thought the substantiality of the world was Berkely's...

If we could go back in time, maybe we would....
Hey guys, I travelled into future before.
1. I take drug
2. I go ride my bike
3. I wake up in intensive care unit
4. Got sick note for two weeks
5. Get up and sign that you're leaving hospital at own risk
6. Go home and party
7. Repeat
8. Profit.

It's possible to "travel" into the theoretical future.
But theoretically there is no future...whose future? We can at least agree to a certain kind of common past...but the future is blank....(not jumping to conclusions)...therefore time travel is impossible...
Hmm, maybe I was thinking of the hypothetical future.

Have you seen the film +1?
What if Conchita Wurst became World Chess Champion?

Nope, I have not seen it. But I must see it now.

Speaking of nice and short, I recommended Primer earlier, which is only 79 minutes long.
Don't be fooled by this: it requires multiple viewings.
Is the time travel in Primer logically consistent?

At least for determinists, the state of the world determines the destiny of the future. An unstable stack of books has it falling down as something in the near future, even if it hasn't happened yet.
