| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

Bushido is hardly different to chivalry, or the codes of honour upheld by Celtic warriors. |

The whole "Must take your dying best friend to the sea at sunset, half submerge yourelf with him dying in your arms, and then learn the Iron Fist" that sounds more honorable. Or grabbing the opponent and stabing yourarm with them and having your best friend decapitate the both of you. |

Celts killed their entire family then themselves if they looked liek losing a battle. That sounds equal to the actions of the samurai to me. |

Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea. "It is the old wound my king. It has never healed." | |

It is more honourable to kill those close to you yourself them let them fall into the hands of the foe! |

No, they must fight! Sun Tzu said that, and he wrote a book about it! So I'm pretty sure he knows more about fighting then you do pal! |

No... Have you read the Art of War? I didn't think so. Plus, he is outdated. And there have been others. Honour is not constant anyway. |

Are you arguing with THE SOLDIER? Sun Tzu gathered two of every animal, marched them onto a boat and beat the ever loving crap out of them! |

That's a different solider, and it didn't really happen. TF2 is getting to your brain. |

At least you didn't think of that "Will It Blend?" infomercial when the giant blender was mentioned. |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

He had luck on his side. Alexander, Pyrrhus, Alexander, Belisarius, Frederick the Great, Richard the Lionheart, the Black Prince, Edward I, Caesar, and their ilk were real generals. |
