I half-remember Control saying there's one host out of its loop but it's with guests (this was Dolores). I'm not sure though. If it turns out that MiB=William I'm rewatching the season since there are gonna be massive plotholes and stretching believability. And I'll make a list of them.

16% of population. Out of mistfallen 1/16 were Seers (so 1% of population).

Yeah, I meant it's 'not taught' as it's always said to be wrong: Lamarck's model assumes that changes to phenotype cause changes to genotype.

Some names are quite easy to guess... some people I no longer recognize and then there are some I know who they are but have no idea where their Ookla title comes from For example, @Ookla the Chibi. I'm pretty sure who you are but no idea why "chibi" Is this supposed to be solvable? P.S. Mine's a little poetic but I think it's solvable. Oh, and I changed my avatar. And my signature. Still solvable though

Fourth time in a row mists came out (well, they sorta pulled back when temperature dropped below zero - or below 32* Fahrenheit). I'm starting to wondering if there's a chance (let's say 16%) that they are harmful...

I think he just really, really misunderstood how evolution works. Nobody teaches Lamarckian, right? This is supported by his talking of mutations, he seems to understand that evolution is about mutations; but then he doesn't understand that you can't "trigger" a mutation (radioactivity and similar cases aside) and the change of environment does not make things evolve, it just kills off (or decreases offspring of) those without some mutation helpful in that situation.

People who know crem and speak authoritatively (had to check the spelling, to be honest). Like this commenter on the article about African elephants being born tuskless due to poachers: That's... that's not how evolution works.

Lift can inhale Stotmlight just fine, she just hasn't learned that she can. Unless something to the contrary was revealed in Edgedancer

Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!
Oversleep replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
Try baking soda. With caution. Should help. But in internet please remember, I'm just a random stranger. -
Weird question time! If a Radiant spiked a larkin could such Radiant increase the ability to suck out Stormlight? For example from gems powering the Shardplate which is normally impossible or from other Surgebinders?

Oh Almighty. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID!

I have been planning it for a long time and now that the time has come I almost missed it

Confused about Investiture and Spiritwebs
Oversleep replied to Richard Kopelow's question in Cosmere Q&A
What you think of as "coded in Spiritweb" is what is also "Innate Investiture". These traits are made of Investiture as well.- 2 replies

Even if we go with only 200 most popular words it makes about 40 000 combinations for the Security Phrase. Unbreakeable by human brute-force.

@Yata, not all Inquisitors have longer lifespan. Some had got shorter.

Another thing we may conclude from this fact: it was Rayse who got to killing Shards. Soon after Shattering, so it wasn't like he has gone on murder rampage after Odium warped him to its Intent; no, Rayse took to killing Shards from the get-go (or soon after).

When is the Batman day on Roshar?

I think I've already seen that question on reddit. Not sure what the response was.

Mists came out for the third time in row. ... While I still don't have a mistcloak, throwing on a regular coat still does the job. Sure, it may be too thick and heavy to properly flutter behind me but it still kinda flows when I'm running... EDIT: And now I've gone and taken photos (it was just after midnight). Welcome to Elendel: I think that's the best one. I have a few more but my non-existent photographic skills only allowed me to pick the correct mode and hold objective steady

Without that meddling of a guy that Harmony certainly did not want meddling they would all freeze to death. Period. When he arrived they were on the brink of death having burned pretty much everything they found burnable. And if that certain guy stayed the way Harmony wanted... There are whole topics dedicated to the relationship between Scadrians and Harmony but nobody is saying that he should have made Southern lands fertile like he did with the Basin or dropped on them all the knowledge they could want or heal them from every possible disease like he did with Northeners et cetera et cetera. If he did not want to interfere with them, fine, leave them be. Just make sure the changes he did to the world are not killing a whole hemisphere full of people. Just reverse the adaptiation to the hot world and nothing else.

Bavadin is Trell but is no longer Autonomy and is Dalinar's wife who's Nightwatcher.Sorry couldn't help myself :D. Let's go full crazy here. Hold on to your tinfoil hats! Autonomy's Vessel is now female because it changed hands. This is gonna be consistent with the theory that trellium isn't actually Trell's godmetal. We know trellium is from a Shard we know. We know the metal itself has additional effect of hiding (granting independence or autonomy, I'd say). From Khriss essays we know Autonomy is interfering with other worlds and isolating Taldain. We also know Brandon refered to Bavadin as "he" before. See, I think we may have two Shards cooperating here. First Bavadin as Autonomy Invested in Scadrial creating trellium, made a deal with some female so that she will shut off Taldain when he's gone and Descended. He has gone to Sel and picked up Dominion. Maybe before his Descension he set something up in that regard so he can somehow pick up Splintered Shard. Then he went to Scadrial and started messing around with Harmony and he had already avalaible godmetal capable of hiding things from Harmony and additionaly it couldn't be traced back to him as Dominion as it's Autonomy's godmetal. This would explain Set's mathematical nature and order as something of Dominion and the nature of trellium spike.

@Dunkum, upvote, also I quoted you and added to my previous question (it helps me when I'm looking for my posts with questions for Brandon ) Another question: If we gave medallion to somebody who's not Metalborn and then tried to spike him for the power that medallion gives, would that work? Another question, important one: Why didn't Sazed reverse Southeners' adaptation to the hotter world during Catacendre?

It's not simplified - somethin being crem is not equivalent to being carcinogenic

I know that; can't a rephrasing of his law still be internet's golden rule?
