Re: If you could go back what would you change (IPT)
If you could go back and fix your mistakes, what would you learn?
EDIT: If you knew there would be no consequence, what would keep people from going out and misbehaving?
I for one think that it is a negative concept, because I believe that it would be misused especially if the ability to time travel is held by a small number of people. I believe human nature on a macro level (ie. Nations) would use it for ill rather than good. I don't think people have transcended the human condition enough to use something so powerful and A.) understand it, and, B.) use it for altruistic purposes.
Perhaps if people (everyone on this planet) changes it would be a postitive concept, but we can't even get our minds around global warming etc so I remain pessimistic on the matter.

Considering Aadmin's thread, perhaps one of you mods could bring this topic back to the Serbian forum?

Just think about it.
Images, video, light, travel at the speed of light (Vo). If we could beat this speed and travel much faster lets say at speed Vmax, then we could travel to a point P(X,Y,Z) at a distance lets say So from the earth, at which the image of the world arrives (at the speed of light Vo) as it was Y years ago. (i am using math nomenclature here).
If we install a xmitter at P, and Vmax >> Vo, then we could have the images from P xmitted to us, with a delay of So/Vmax, wherease "past" Y years would be equal to So/Vo.
So we could have a "time" buffer which could enable to us to look into the past.
Its not exactly changing the past, but it is rather *accurately* viewing the past.
How would you think that *knowing* the past would change our current situation?

My dad also had an economics degree from Novi Sad. Now he's retired w/ a spinal injury (factory related).
I'd tell my family to put all their money into Berkshire Hathaway stocks 20 or so years ago...... and not have money problems.

I'd kill Al-Ghazali:
Ijtihad
Ijtihad is the process through which Islamic scholars can generate new rules for Muslims. Ijtihad was one of the recognized sources of Islamic knowledge by early Islamic scholars - that is, in addition to Quran, Sunnah and Qiyas. While it is not widely agreed that Al-Ghazali himself intended to "shut the door of ijtihad" completely and permanently, such an interpretation of Al-Ghazali's work led the Islamic societies to be "frozen in time". Works of critics of Al-Ghazali (such as Ibn-Rushd, a rationalist), as well as the works of any ancient philosopher, were practically forbidden in these "frozen socities" through the centuries. As a result, all chances were lost to gradually revitalize religion - which may have been less painful had it been spread over a period of centuries.
Whether the actual outcome of "freezing Islamic thinking in time" was the goal of Al-Ghazali is highly debatable. While he himself was a critic of the philosophers, Al-Ghazili was a master in the art of philosophy and had an immense education in the field. After such a long education in philosophy, as well as a long process of reflection. But only taking Al-Ghazali's final conclusions, while lacking a comparable education (and a reflection process) in the area, and as a result being unable to trace Al-Ghazali in his thought process, only exacerbates the probability of the misuse of Al-Ghazali's conclusions.

Re: If you could go back what would you change (IPT)
how old are you Sar if you dont mind me asking.
I am 36 I dont have children yet but this could change in next few years as My gf and I are considering that after marriage of course. Personally I dont regret having children yet I see
the good side of it and look forward to that in the future but really on the other hand I have enjoyed my freedom and I believe its a better thing to do when you really feel ready for it.
