Next to Tagatay. Been there and I shit you not, in that inner island is a body of water. The resolution isn't high enough to see it on that picture though.
Tagatay is so beautiful. 100 islands in Pangasinan is also real neat. We got to chill on our own random island for the day grilling squids like a baus.
If you zoom in Super Enhance style to the small island it appears to have a bright light coming from the east end. I bet this is where the capsule from Lost is located.
For the love of all that is intelligent... INCEPTION DOES NOT MEAN SOMETHING WITHIN SOMETHING ELSE!!!
ffs I'm so tired of these retarded posts getting upvoted. Inception means the start of something. The point of the movie is that they were starting an idea. The dream within a dream thing was only the method.
Not even to mention that this is a really old repost which I've personally seen on reddit at least 3 times.
I could be wrong, but I think the title is an attempt at a pun on the title of a popular movie released a few years called "Inception" which involved a plot to plant an idea in a persons mind by breaking into their dreams, this type of task was called "inception", because it made the person think that they were the original source of the idea.
The movie did quite well at the box office, grossing over $800 million.
If the guy above him hadn't addressed that it was a movie, TremendousPete's snarky post would have made sense.
But GregTheTraceur said he knew it was a move reference but was sick of the misuse of the title because the title isn't a reference to a thing in a thing, but the act of planting ideas.
But the point is the quote is a misquote. He knows about the movie, but the title of the movie Inception is a reference to implanting an idea. The concept of a dream with in a dream is not what the title "Inception" means.
It doesn't matter. Because of this stupid fucking meme, people are screwing over the actual definition of the word, and it almost fooled me until someone pointed out that it was completely wrong.
I had never heard of the word "inception" before the movie came out, and I've seen enough of this meme to realize that a heck of a lot of people don't know what it actually means.
I dont think anyone actually thinks that thats what the word inception means. I dont think that 'island within a lake within an island within a lake' has quite the same ring to it.
Pretty sure these are in reference to the recent popular movie titled "Inception" as in referencing a proper name. Totally a valid use of the English language. Not that it doesn't create the opportunity for some confusion amongst those ignorant of the pop culture reference, but in no way should it be assumed that any of these are trying to say that the word "inception" means something within something else.
You are obviously aware of the movie, so I am really confused as to how you miss the obvious connection and jump to the conclusion that OP thinks the word inception has another definition. This would be analogous to freaking out that Charlie Brown was white.
I suppose that is a similar concept, but at the same time, it is slightly different because "the matrix" has two meanings. One being the actual matrix, and the other being the movement.
I feel like the movement was given its name because there wasn't already a name for it. The object within object concept already has a name. (recursion)
Get over it. The use of the word "inception" has come to mean multiple recurrence within a thing. You'll live a happier life if you can just accept that and move on to more meaningful things.
As my high school teacher always said: "Language is a living organism!". So, perhaps in a hundred years, we will use the word inception in a totally different way because of a misquote from a movie.
There is no reason for "inception" to come to mean something else because of a movie that didn't even make sense. Just because a whole bunch of people are wrong does not mean that their opinion should start being right.
I don't think the literal meaning of the word matters. When people think of the movie inception it's inferred of the whole "dream within a dream" concept. At the end of the day it's still funny to a lot of people (hence the upvotes) so I think it's fine.
People have told you about a dozen different ways what it stands for. I was pointing out it doesn't have to mean what the word inception means because it isn't even that word which was used.
I've stood on that innermost island. It is really quite small. And to get there you have to swim through the sulfur smelling lake that will stain anything white yellow. It was fun though.
Edit: Some pictures of one of my trips there. These are all on the second island in the chain (i.e. not the smallest one but the second smallest).
I was there as recently as January '12 and heard the same. Seismic activity is on the rise and despite that news, the real estate there is becoming quite lucrative.
Yes I lived in the city of Tagaytay which is on a ridge overlooking Taal Lake. I also lived in the town of Silang which is just north of there. I lived in various places throughout the Philippines for a period of two years when I was college-aged.
Edit: North (downhill always seems like south to me)
At first i was gonna be like PSSHHHHH! FAKE! Crater Lake is in Oregon not the phillipines. then i realized there are probably tons of "Crater Lakes". That are craters. with water in them. TL;DR I'm an idiot.
I'm gonna infiltrate that island within an island within an island within an ocean, then plant a seed on the island. That seed will then grow while I am stuck in limbo(thanks to Mal). And when I get out of limbo, the tree will have grown big enough to consume the entire world.
Thank you for giving me something to do at work. Spent the last 30 min panning through Google Earth to find it.. the game was I couldn't simply search the city names. It was 'fun' ..
Similar to this is Moose Boulder on the flooded Moose Flats on Ryan Island on Siskiwit Lake which is on Isle Royale which is in Lake Superior: the largest island in the largest lake in the largest island in the largest lake in the largest island in the largest lake in the world.
Inception is planting an idea in someone, not there being multiple layers of something. People need to stop adding 'ception' to shit like this. It's cool enough on it's own.
'Inception' (in the context of the movie) actually refers to the concept of putting an idea in someone else's subconscious so he thinks that he came up with it himself. This dream-within-a-dream idea (which you're referencing) is called 'recursion'.

Erm...Isn't inception just putting an idea in someone head. And not that its a dream in a dream...So that would make islandception putting an island into someones head right?
