Good, evil, logic. Sleep, death, I don't see a connection unless...you mean to say the sleep of reason (logic) begets monsters (death-dealers).

Perfect balance! +2 and -2 are perfectly balanced.
January 12, 2022 at 12:59
Yes, everybody does that! :up:
January 12, 2022 at 12:41
Yes, Oh! You need to reexamine antinatalism, carefully this time.
January 12, 2022 at 12:39
Then what is symmetry (to you)?
January 12, 2022 at 12:37
Antinatalism: Basis: Suffering. Advice: Don't birth children.
January 12, 2022 at 12:37
Oh sorry, that's not right I'm afraid. Try not to overthink it.
January 12, 2022 at 12:35
Good logic!

Airborne DNA. Could viruses have been shed skin/ lung tissue? The prodigal son returns! The Father embraces his son.

Why? Thanatos (death personified) can sleep, no?
January 12, 2022 at 12:26
You've not understood (antinatalism).

The ego is an illusion; being so, it can't die because it's not alive. Does a stone die?

The Holy Spirit/Ghost is a person. What is a person?

Is acceptance the sleep of death?
January 12, 2022 at 12:10
I didn't say you were right though! :wink:
January 12, 2022 at 12:09
There is no symmetry. Yes, the symmetry we see is just an illusion. If symmetry is an illusion, 1. Either the left/right side of my body doesn't exist...

I like your attitude!

Can we not form a reasonable opinion about the world and our place in it? There's a lot of real pain/suffering out there and happiness is just another...
January 12, 2022 at 12:00
Would you not like to be objectively happy as opposed to subjectively so?

ART vs. ART Notice the serifs in ART; none in ART. Calligraphy vs. Normal writing Art is essentially supra-functional: compare vehicles of the 1900s (...

Old in body, young at heart! In for a penny, in for a pound, eh? Did you know... We need to put thanatologists and the pusillanimous in the same room....

:ok:
January 12, 2022 at 10:38
Let's just say antinatalism isn't as simple as we think it is. I'm also a learner, just like you.
January 12, 2022 at 09:49
Yes, there's understanding, a whole lot of it! :up:
January 12, 2022 at 09:46

:ok: :up: Can you explain the above statement, elaborate it for me please?
January 12, 2022 at 09:43
You've not understood antinatalism well my friend.
January 12, 2022 at 09:41
January 12, 2022 at 09:38
I'm afraid suffering isn't an illusion.

What's that?

I fear you're conflating an explanatory hypothesis with a concept. :clap:
January 12, 2022 at 09:29
:ok: I never said it was simple, but in fact it is! Logical progression, inference from proposition to proposition, is the simplest imaginable (they e...

Why are broad claims meaningless?
January 12, 2022 at 09:15
You fail to see the point. Happiness is an illusion!

January 12, 2022 at 09:00
Yes, yes!
January 12, 2022 at 08:47
That's exactly what I wanna find out. What nonlogical correlations/patterns exist in re our thoughts?

You seem to be on top of things! How? :brow:
January 12, 2022 at 08:34
What do you mean by that? Isn't a correlation a pattern? Everything, as far as I can tell, is brought to our attention, as a thought. I dunno about pe...

I suppose there's a difference between existence (life) and being: "it's obviously not biological life, but neither is it absolute nothingness". You d...

Why would you do that? Are thoughts not mental objects? Are they then pulmonary/renal/hepatic/cardiac/etc. objects? We think about something, then we ...
