TimeCube Revisited

[Brian Jackson]

Looks like Gene Ray's been busy updating his site, TimeCube.com (http://www.timecube.com). Just thought I'd throw it out there. If you're unfamiliar with Gene's particular brand of lunacy, do yourself a favor and head on over. His quotes have appeared in some of the best signature lines ever.

Oh, and be sure to visit his companion site AboveGod.com (http://www.abovegod.com). Great stuff.

Wait, since when do cubes have 4 sides?

[Brian Jackson]

Wait, since when do cubes have 4 sides?

Since Gene decided it was "stupid and evil" to count the top and bottom.:boggled:

[HighRiser]

Of course cubes have four sides. One side in night, one in day, one in dawn, and one in dusk. The top and bottom are only fictions invented by the EVIL educated stupid academic's dog minds. Isn't it obvious?

Ignorant of Nature's Harmonic
4 Day Time Cube Creation, the
Americans are Dumb, Educated
Singularity Stupid and Evil. It's
not immoral to kill Americans
who IGNORE their OPPOSITE
sex parents who Created them,
but instead worship a queer
jew who claims to make people
out of dirt - when the body is 90
percent water. A God so stupid
that he claims only a single day
rotation of Earth - while my
Cubic Wisdom has allowed me
to create 4 simultaneous days
within a single Earth rotation.
Americans do not deserve life.
They live only for today, the
evil singularity word bastards.

a spoof, right?

if not....wow :eek:

OMG....I had to stop halfway through to keep my laughter from getting me in trouble at work! I can only hope this is a poorly edited attempt at humor...

It doesn't seem to have a point, yet I could barely tear myself away from the nonsensical, aimless ranting that is timecube.com... I'll have to finish reading it at home where I won't get in trouble for falling out of my chair...

[Dragonrock]

No, it's not a parody. It's a legend of paranoia, self rightiousness, and openly expressed ignorance.

If only it were a joke...

What leads you to so resolutely claim that it is not a joke? It seems to me to be up in the air whether it is a "true" crackpot philosophy, or a cleverly devised internet joke.

Though, I may be educated stupid.

[HighRiser]

Gene went off the deep end many years ago. He is dead serious about his Time Cube delusions, I'm afraid.

I don't remember the details, but a few years ago some rather short-sighted college students and/or faculty invited him to campus to debate and elaborate on his theories. Problem is; Gene is not coherent and cannot describe exactly what Time Cube is in reasonable terms. This is (I gather) very frusterating for Gene and he went into a rage when confronted by questions from the audience.

Here's a video of him trying to explain something or something...

[Hawkeye]

Hey stupid - are you too
dumb to know there are
4 different simultaneous
24 hour days within a
single rotation of Earth?
lol, I had forgotten about this guy. His site is a goldmine of unintentional humor.

Oh, thank you for posting the video. I've been amused by this nut for a while, but I've never, ever had the delightful chance to see him in action!

[Miss Anthrope]

The Wikipedia talk page on time cube is priceless as well.....

[Dark Jaguar]

Is it just me or is it childish to say that because you can divide 4 quarters of the Earth into 4 parts which each experience their own seperate night day cycle (in a manner of speaking), it must mean the world is some sort of 4 sided hyper time space thing? Sounds stupid. Further, why 4? Why not divide into 3, or 5, or 24, or infinite?

Also the guy seems to be racist.

[Brian Jackson]

Yes, he's very serious about his TimeCube. I met him once during a trip to Clearwater, Florida, where I was also harassed by angry $cientologists, but that's another topic. I used to run the Great-Debate site (and edited that video of his Tech TV appearance). He's been on numerous radio programs as a guest, and the guy just gets more bizarre by the hour. Gotta love him!

[Zep]

Gene's mental gears have long since been stripped right off. Yes, he is serious. No, it's not a parody or satire. It's pitiable, really.

[TriangleMan]

Years ago I thought TimeCube was just an MIT prank, especially after they invited Gene to give a talk there but since then he's given talks elsewhere (I think Georgia State for one). Yep, he's serious. Yep, he's completely off his head. Yep, I'm educated stupid. :p

[DeviousB]

Well I'm convinced! At last someone worthy to take up the mantle of Alfred Lawson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson) has arrived.

I see the error of my ways. I renounce the heresy of Pastafarianism, as I renounced the false creed of IPU before it.

Join me brothers, and let us proclaim as one...

TIME IS CUBULAR!

[toddjh]

If he's serious, the guy is clearly mentally ill. Let's lay off him and hope he gets the help he needs.

[NeilC]

I had to laugh at the worshipping "gay jew" thing and not because I'm an atheist but because it's just so juvenille.

[imagineNoReligion]

Santa & God debase women
as if non-existing opposites.
How evil unto their mothers.



Leave Santa alone. :)

[NeilC]

maybe he'd be cool with santa if there was black female on who took presents away during the day?

[luchog]

Ran into his stuff nearly a decade ago, now. Used to think he was just a harmlessly mentally-ill crackpot; but now...

If ignorant of the almighty
Time Cube Creation Truth,
you deserve to be killed.
Killing you is not immoral -
but justified to save life on
Earth for future generations.

And it goes on quite a bit more in that vein. The guy has seriously gone off the deep end, and lost what little connection to reality he had. It sounds like he really needs to be locked up somewhere nice and soft where he won't hurt himself or others.

For a year now I have studied your Time Cube truths but have not been
able to convince others of its reality (dumbasses). My mother is a teacher,
and she said it was "nutty" and "stupid." But guess what- I cornered her,
literally, in the living room one evening, and forced her to admit it.

Why is he not on medication? Sounds like he could use one of those little insulin pumps filled with Haldol or Thorazine. The guy is a clear paranoid schizophrenic (speaking as someone who has a family history of schizoprenia).

And as someone else pointed out, there does seem to be quite a bit of racism going on as well.

[Yahzi]

Sometimes, Gene sounds down-right rational:

"No human has a right to believe wrong."

"Religion absolves adults of their obligation to preserve natural resources required for children during their lifetimes."

It's like the proverbial 1,000 monkeys and typewriters test: let a loony rave long enough, and occasionally he'll spout words in combinations that make sense.

[Psi Baba]

My question is what if someone said he was right, that there are 4 simultaneous 24-hour days within one rotation of the earth or whatever. Then what? What do we do with that information? I doubt he has an answer for that. He just wants to call the rest of the world stupid and evil. He would be at a total loss if everyone suddenly agreed with him. He sounds woefully bitter and frustrated over his own apparent learning disability and is therefore angry at educational institutions. He is unable to grasp any kind of teaching so thereforeeverything that schools teach is evil and wrong. I guess I'm just an evil obcsurantist for ignorning his revelation. Oh, well.

Interesting analogy RE Gene & academia:
L. Ron Hubbard was angered at psychiatrists after his WWII stint... Now we have $cientology and their anti-psych rhetoric.

Leave Santa alone. :)

For the life of me I can't figure out if he meant Satan, or Santa... considering the context, his bad spelling and grammar lead one to think maybe it was Satan, but the way his mind works (or um...doesn't) makes it just as easy to believe he really meant Santa...

I think I just became more unstable having read and tried to make any sense of this... Where's my pink elephant?

I thought he meant Satan too, at first, but further on he writes :

Believing is not knowing -
but evil that ignores facts.
Santa vital to Christmas -
No Santa - no Christmas.
Why credit Santa LIE with
gifts that parents buy their
children? It bribes the child
mind to accept false Santa
spirit and false god spirit
deceit associated with it.
Santa Claus and Christmas
must be indicted deceits
that destroys child mind.

God is but an adult Santa
extension of child Santa -
equating evil singularity -
unnatural as 1 pole Earth.
Also this priceless gem:

Adults who believe in a fictitious Santa god have the
mentality level of a child who believes in Santa Claus,
brainwashed and indoctrinated from birth to death.
And this...
Truth about Santa Claus debunks
Santa God. God evolves from Santa.

He clearly has a thing against Santa.
