After seeing the new Jarvis video- and knowing its unlikely at this point Hank gets most of the artifacts- is anyone else glad Hank is sort of immortal now? I mean, at least we don't have to worry about Jarivs or ADA going after him...

    I don't think it's as simple as that. What happens if his body is damaged or destroyed?

    Do we know where the body is? I thought it was IN the nest, which would basically kibosh any attempts to damage it.

    Theoretically the body is still in the nest.… Maybe. When we asked Hank about it in Austin he said that it was safe.

    Just because it is safe now, doesn't mean that it will always be so. Also the idea of having to reset every time you die and or every five'ish years, whichever comes first. Is very… Inconvenient at best. And pretty horrible when you stop and think about it.

    Yeah, but don't worry: the artifacts are Shaper tech. Think about that. With sufficient study, anything can be reverse engineered....and Hank has all the time in the world. I do hope that Hank isn't being influenced by Jarvis, but he never struck me as someone who can fall prey to that sort of stuff. He's former PsyOps, that probably means he has strong mental barriers, especially if the cycle takes him back 2010 in memories each time. I mean, that's my assumption. If he becomes Tabula Rasa, that would be another story, but the writer of the Greek message made it seem as though he maintained some level of memory- literacy, and such. Procedural memories, such that the subject doesn't revert to infancy.

*Is Abaddon to be feared?*

*Is Abaddon to be feared?* My argument is no. I'm interested in knowing the origin of the cited scripture. Or is it scripture? It looks like it may be another person's version of the scripture which comes across as... It feels evil and foreboding. I have 2 sources that paint a different picture. In biblical text the apostle John translated the Hebrew word Abaddon to Greek which is Apollyon. Apollyon means “Destroyer,” and is given as the name of “the angel of the abyss.” Though most reference works apply this name to some evil person or entity, the whole setting of the apocalyptic vision in Revelation is to the contrary. It consistently portrays angels being used by God to bring woe and destruction upon His enemies. Not the devil or his demons. Destruction is not always evil. The Interpreter’s Bible says: “Abaddon, however, is an angel not of Satan but of God, performing his work of destruction at God’s bidding.” It wasn't until the 19th century that the 'angel of the a...

Kalash of Cultures - Pakistan: http://youtu.be/qEXnEfdvv6s The argument: 1. Watch the video; this Dardic mountain tribe plays polo. They fiercely fought for their independence through the ages, till the British arrived; at which point they adopted some British customs like playing polo on weekends (although they claim they invented the game first). 2. The Kalasha have lived in geographic isolation for so long that their DNA has diverged. But, there are markers to suggest that they come from around the Mediterranean(that is, that they are Dardic). There are 2 theories as to how they got there: a. They were travellers along the silk route who decided to settle in a scenic location and sell spices, apricots and cherries (the latter two do not grow in the subcontinent, only in the Mediterranean; and with no contact with the outside world for centuries, there's no other way they could've gotten these fruits) b. They are descendants of Alexander the Great 's armies; who ref...
