Ouch! The false humility of mind is easily seen here. And I am not just attacking you there. That is a real thing in the world. The restraint of order...
Thank you! And that is awesome to hear and ... things get interesting. I am trying to make my tack a polished thing and that is not easy when one is t...
If the experience of it does not lead to it again, is that accurate? Idempotency must be ... the thing. Meaning proceeds endlessly from meaning. Which...
Well, it is a classical backwards walk, baby steps to glory! But, yes, I suppose any path can meander around and find its way finally to the end of th...
:evilgrin I agree with your sentiment, but, it is the need factor that is the thing to doubt in the sense of wisdom. Amid perfection we would possibly...
I have related insight into BOTH these perspectives and WHY the confusion arises. Essense as a concept just means essential, foundational, base. It's ...
I agree entirely. And these interactions, to be meaningful, must extend past the colloquial local time scope. That means they have to be eternal or la...
No, indeed, I am never so prosaic as that. The ONLY thing in all of existence, including physical matter, is the state of free will, inflicting every ...
Well, ... Amen to that! Ha ha! And that idealists would find something more attainable than perfection. Go figure! What does that sound like? Balance....
'Better situated' is perhaps a sobering but ultimately timid term to describe agency, the burden of experience. It may be more true than not, but it p...
Although I agree, as I understand it, that has no bearing on our conversation. I was the one claiming that no exalted scenario was implied. The reason...
YES there are! That is the metaphysical hurdle we are just beginning to come to grips with as a species. Granted a few of us have always been a bit sa...
I LOVE Sartre's 'bad faith'. I aim to make things HARDER, not easier. And try selling that to the least common denominator in Democracy. Socrates was ...
I mean ... it's confusing that you say this. You say you agree and then disagree. The entire freaking point is that we are not that special and accept...
Well, My own perspective agrees that 'God' is a weird way to think of things. But 'Truth', 'Love', and 'All' work just fine for the same thing without...
Sadly, and apparently it is not evident that I have read quite a bit of it. And gleaned much over the years when I was forced to look up his own words...
The undead then, a being, yet sans the curriculum vitae! En soi! La mort c'est tout! But most philosophers use that word, Dasein, in a selfish way to ...
I mean, what is the difference to you? I am not specifically ... after ... you, on that point, more curious. But the thing is, can just being be wrong...
Everyone is both a teacher and a student. To deny the role of the teacher is avoiding responsibility. To deny the role of the student is arrogance and...
Well, THAT is maddeningly insulting. My expertise is present in many and varied fields. Significance is a choice of each person, and I wonder if you'd...
Because of all that x is, y seems implicit. The seeming is desire. A wish. What is is anger. Being in essence, trapped between what was and what will ...
One really must wonder. Oh, um, sorry! I love the moniker. My normal one is Series0. After me, they broke the mold. Can't have Q running about causing...
If one claims to have an apple here, and then two apples, what is the limit for where the two are distinct? It takes what to separate one from the oth...
It seems though that I am not alone in this belief, that we cannot know things. After all if you presume to know you would stop trying to know. What w...
It does indeed, if one's model of the universe is correct. That is to say, what is thought? That is ALSO to say, what is morality? If we decide there ...
I would suppose that I should not be referred to as 'your guy' in any sense that I am aware of. That turn of phrase seems like the pretentious equival...
Shaka, when the walls fell! I present to you, the universe. THAT is my evidence. Is it not yet enough. I will try to do better. Maybe you think I have...
The last bit has to be said. Compassion helps the giver. Why? It does so because anger is the source of compassion. Anger is the pre-balanced emotion,...
Evolution is sentient. The whole universe is. If we discuss properties of matter, we are discussing everything that is. I suppose one might also say t...
Far from it. The objective nature of perfection is there, the white, and all the rest is only a degree of error. Existence is only some degree of mora...
I love it! Now I want one! I'm getting too old to be punished by a rascal energetic tornado border collie. I love them, but they need open spaces and ...
I disagree. The proper math is this: You are as certain as you are terrified. Fear is the origin of the need for certainty. Fear seeks comfort, the le...
Yes, that's what I meant. Fear, anger, and desire. The anger is the being in essence. So instinct is a body or pre-differentiated memory. The body's s...
I have had many border collies. They do all sorts of propositional things. Language is not required. The body and the now contain the message. But the...
Clearly, I do not know it. I admit it. Certainty is absurd! I only believe it to be so. And I can and do argue as to why. Effort has been made to vali...
Well it isn't completely different. People put things into to broad and vague a category to really understand. It's fundamental forces, only. Order vs...
There are many terrifying parts of that paragraph. In old D&D there was a better alignment system than that which is in most roleplaying games these d...
The definition that I am working off of is this: a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free ...
All 'knowledge' is only a set of beliefs. There is no knowledge that is not only beliefs. It is not just pedantic foolishness that originates these ty...
Knowing is a delusion. Belief is all that we have. He might believe he knows nothing. This is not knowing. It is only belief. So then he believes some...
There is no basis for anything other than beliefs. My beliefs are chosen based on observation, model completeness, model scope, model cross verificati...
Ha ha! That is indeed the generally present response to some of my most revealing posts. But, what is being addressed here merits the merit of that se...
I know nothing. Apparently, you did not read for comprehension. I believe you are wrong. I believe it's a hallucination. I believe that you chose it. ...
You are merely wrong. We do not actually KNOW anything at 100%. That would require perfection. Even if you think you know, or believe you know, you do...
Right but, its the distraction of MERE survival. Forbes had a movie he put out maybe 15 years back. In it he was like 'My people do not consider a per...
