Lol, no, it's just he has a website named bachanali and he always talks about baccanali and yeah.

Oct. 23, 2008 | 6:25 PM Bacchanalian responds:

Hm. Had no idea about that.

I was going with, "relating to or given to reveling and drunkenness. "

OoooooOo. *Touches Fundemental Drive* ... this is the best one I've seen!

His name probably stems from the ancient Greek usage, monkey.

Slick image, btw.... if you had to guess at the higher purpose, what would you say it is? Preservation? Some clockwork scheme? Random initialization?

...that really is a tidy pic...

Dec. 20, 2008 | 6:21 PM Bacchanalian responds:

Greek indeed :)

And thankyou. It's modelled mostly after Maslow's hierarchy.

As for the higher purpose. Could be any of those things. I'd throw God on the list too (not for likelihood but more for popularity). I really only added the higher purpose level caues some people brought it up. I'm mostly concerned with the other 3 levels.

Oh, right. This chart thing is why I've associated your username with "respect this dude."


Jan. 23, 2009 | 7:16 PM WaffleVoyager says:

you just replied to me in that daft bf/gf sex topic, how do you come up with replies like that? (don't worry this isn't sarcasm, its genuine interest)

Jan. 23, 2009 | 7:30 PM Bacchanalian responds:

I keep a really old, really tiny, really pretentious gnome in my left pocket at all tiems.

Oh, you bastard.

Thank you very much!

Looks cool :D

Apr. 4, 2009 | 5:50 PM Bacchanalian responds:

I find the use of gradients and curves particularly soothing :P


Apr. 14, 2009 | 1:16 AM SevenSeize says:

Gradients make ANYTHING soothing. "The world's about to end and you're all going to die" Put that in front of a blue gradient....no one will care.


Apr. 16, 2009 | 5:14 PM ImlunchBoxx says:

is higher purpose count as someone elses ego ?

Apr. 16, 2009 | 5:54 PM Bacchanalian responds:

Only if that person's ego pervades all the above.

But here's the rub about higher purposes and why it's optional. It's so detached from our scope of understanding that as soon as it is identified as a source of imperatives, it becomes a moral, social or, safety dilemma.

Ooh. Nifty.

Its all that simple, and yet, it still sucks

Test.

Aug. 4, 2009 | 12:26 AM Bacchanalian responds:

Whatever could you be testing for...

A civil war is a war between organized groups within a single nation state, or, less commonly, between two nations created from a formerly-united nation state. The aim of one side may be to take control of the nation or a region, to achieve independence for a region, or to change government policies. It is high-intensity conflict, often involving regular armed forces, that is sustained, organized and large-scale. Civil wars result in large numbers of casualties and the consumption of large resources.
Civil wars since the end of World War II have lasted on average just over four years, a dramatic rise from the one-and-a-half year average of the 1900-1944 period. While the rate of emergence of new civil wars has been relatively steady since the mid-1800s, the increasing length of those wars resulted in increasing numbers of wars ongoing at any one time. For example, there were no more than five civil wars underway simultaneously in the first half of the twentieth century, while over 20 concurrent civil wars were occurring at the end of the Cold War, before a significant decrease as conflicts strongly associated with the superpower rivalry came to an end. Since 1945, civil wars have resulted in the deaths of over 25 million people, as well as the forced displacement of millions more. Civil wars have further resulted in economic collapse; Burma (Myanmar), Uganda and Angola are examples of nations that were considered to have promising futures before being engulfed in civil wars.
Scholars investigating the cause of civil war are attracted by two opposing theories, greed versus grievance. Roughly stated: are conflicts caused by who people are, whether that be defined in terms of ethnicity, religion or other social affiliation, or do conflicts begin because it is in the economic best interests of individuals and groups to start them? Scholarly analysis supports the conclusion that economic and structural factors are more important than those of identity in predicting occurrences of civil war.
