Human/monkey mind is not an object that can be "contained" in a human/monkey brain. Do legs "contain" walking?

The ego is an illusion to the extent it can't be zeroed in on. Can you tell me what's your ego? Is it your body? Is it your mind? Quid sit?

That's precisely the problem. Mind is an activity à la breathing, walking, talking. It is not an object like lungs, legs, mouth.

Let's not get bogged down in what's going to be unfruitful. Let's start over. For me what we call mind is an activity like walking & talking , and not...

:clap: :clap:

-2 and +2 are considered mirror images of each other (they're reflections of each other across the vertical line L of symmetry that passes through 0)....

Walking is not as real as legs that do the walking. Consciousness/mind, just like walking, is an activity. To think that consciousness/mind is an obje...

Category mistake.

It's ok. No problemo!

The brain doesn't see itself as a brain. That's fascinating for me. It sees itself as what people call a mind. In other words, the brain identifies it...

You will realize it (the truth of antinatalism), the easy way or the hard way. Seems like you've made your choice. Good luck!

Monkey Mind. I thought you knew.

All I can say is you're hung up on language. I made it clear to you that language isn't the only way to understand my point.

If there's a message in my posts, it's this: Happiness is an illusion. With that natalism collapses like a house of cards.

My bad. Apologies from the :heart: I'll get back to you ASAP.

Your inability to understand common phrases/idioms is your problem, not mine. I do watch videos of these people. Thanks for the reminder.

I can't simplify it further. I've avoided linguistic references and focused on what is true. Thinking = Mind. Thinker \neq Mind. It's as easy as ABC. ...

There's no such thing as a mind which thinks. Thinking is the mind! Mind is an activity (thinking), not an actor (thinker).

tl; dr

Mistaking an illusion for the truth. As expected. :ok: I'm sorry to say your view is not the samyak drishti. Yes, life, everyone's, is tragic. The coi...

You crack me up! Merriam-Webster Dictionary defintion of "show one's stuff" (Informal): to show what one is able to do : to show one's skills The comp...

There's nothing in walking that we could consider ontologically equivalent to kidney or a heart. A mind is not an 0bject like the brain, it's simply a...

Go scientific!

Sound advice. However, I'm not just a collection of ideas, am I?

@"DA671" You're talking out of your hat here. I'm all out. Good day.

No, you don't. If you did...you wouldn't have said what you said. Happiness is an illusion. Everybody is in the dark about happiness. All they know is...

Changing the subject! Well done!

@"DA671" You don't know what suffering is.

I would've liked to say natalism is idiotic, but now that I think of it, it's infact wicked!

:rofl:

Then why do you use it?

You've missed the point completely. No amount of rationalization is going to have an effect on this runaway train we call civilzation. All people, bra...

I don't get this :point: :wink:???

You don't see what I see. Here's a glimpse of the future: 1. Overpopulation (contagions, cut-throat competition, food shortages, violence, wars,etc.)....

If you rob, would you mind being robbed (universalized)?

Illusion. Repetition signifies importance. Why? Is there going to be a(nother) resurrection?

Big Bad World! Big Bad World! Big Bad World! Third times a charm!

You commit a fallacy that undermines your position. Not a fallacy fallacy I'm afraid. You seem to know very little about the...er...big bad world! Jus...

This shows that you have no idea what suffering is. As I said, you don't quite understand what you're saying.

Whatever makes you happy.

Shifting the goalpost. I see you wish to commit every fallacy in the book. At this rate, you might just pull it off. :grin:

Referring to yourself?

Then it's difficult. Ergo, suffering!

No, it isn't. Happiness isn't going to come this easy.

No, it isn't. I could say the same thing about you.

Your idea of happiness is too expansive. As I said this is not happiness. :ok: But you don't know what happiness is.

You've misunderstood.

I don't experience satisfaction and even if I do, it's not happiness. If you were to ask me, nobody knows what happiness is.
