Khaos! I was wondering what had happened to you, man. I've been away for a while, but also hadn't seen you post anything since I got back. I was missing your responses, even though they seemed to hack off some people here. lol

Glad to see you're still around. Although your Dark-Side-esque profile photo is missing now...

Hahah, yea, Khaos is loads of fun! He adds a necessary twist that keeps us all questioning our methods and improving.

Hey man I wanna take the altered states class with real-world mind altering drugs. That would be fun.

Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.

It would be kewl to have some accreditation with the philosophical training, but if that's not practical then why not have little courses on various topics of interest. I could do 'Rogue Squadron - Practical Flying Theory (Atmosphere)'!!!

Can you guys provide examples of what you want?

It's nice to say that ancient philosophers could do other things, but I'm not convinced by a maths lesson in the IP, not to mention it's still abstract.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

Well, I'm not sure that anything should be added to IP. I thought the original idea was more of an elective sort of thing. Optional training/classwork for those that want to broaden their learning.

That's how I understood it, anyway, I cannot speak for others, of course.
