What, don't want to become one with the forest? To be of the prestigious tree people? Highly trained in tree related disciplines, and puns? Well the o...
It's all China and the US. Stop being rich assholes, stop being super powers, producing everything including all of the climate change. It's meaningle...
Something in your hand or room right now differs from your names for it, and ideations about them. Those are abstract, the thing in your perceptual fi...
I think that the problem stems from faulty conceptualization. We do not experience things as discrete things, but as events. Events have duration, cha...
Yes, we hold various preferences because of what we take causal relationships between things to be, and what kind of outcomes we will imagine ourselve...
You don't need motivation for things you actually want to do, you need demotivation for those things, and motivation for things that you don't want to...
Point ultimately reducible to a mode of being, or perceiving. One exclusionary, divisive, hate, doubt, fear based. Identity by what something is not. ...
The thing is, that this is what is good to believe, or supposed to be true. It's ethical in nature, or based in comparative value judgments. It's impo...
Do you know what self-knowledge looks like? How sure are you that what you take it to be isn't based in hearsay, and amounts to shackles and chains? h...
I gave clear rebuke, of its self-defeating nature, and also reasons why it isn't true. Don't want to have true believer syndrome, so that all I know f...
How certain are you of that? Just guessing? Isn't this eschewing of certainty just a form of virtue signaling? Assuring each other that we aren't thos...
Are you certain? You'll certainly behave as if you're certain of many things, when the pressure is on, your body will be certain. Everything is dubiou...
"God is being" is vague and unreachable in my view as well. People say that they see God everywhere, because they see order, and significance which is...
We're simply not built for happiness. We're build to feel both rapture and agony. These feelings are aspects of your being, all, and cannot be expunge...
Living and dead gods. Etymologically "God" is that which sacrifices are made to, and as such, one worships the bloom because they sacrifice, and prepa...
I know more than I let on, but I'm attempting to fulfill my social duties here, and not tell people what to believe, but how to get their soul back, a...
I reject these notions of "primitive pasts" and sophisticated presents. On our way to being God. I prefer the notion that the gods were representation...
It's intuition, nous, that we're attempting to frame and make explicit. It's sense, sensitivity, life, feeling. None of that is improved in the ways y...
Faith is understanding something spiritually, when one cannot explain, and precisely delineate how they know it. Reason is the process by which we mak...
It's the comfortable that aren't religious. People want to be happy, but being wrong, particularly with respect to sin, and your own doing feels terri...
I am not without strife, and aggression. Aggression is a combination of desire and blame, in that it is a reaction to an obstacle, delay, or obstructi...
I also think that that is silly, which is why it is difficult to know what one believes and doesn't, and particular states and circumstances are neces...
You may think that all of that sounds ridiculous, but what we are and are not willing to try comes down to just how much it matters, and how desperate...
Predation is a result of the fall, and in the kingdom of Christ the bible says that there will be peace on earth, and includes animals, and peace amon...
People tend to always speak of originality, and novelty when speaking of art, and creation, but that is from the perspective of the consumer. The arti...
Well, indifference is the opposite of love, so... good job. Referents, evidence, is all nonsense about experiences. For the index of the thing, not ev...
To put it in another way, the emotions are salient, directional, highlighting. They reveal what is significant. You can say as aggregates of form and ...
The problem is not a "violation of natural law", as that is a nonsense, as the prerequisite of the judgment is a complete knowledge of nature, so that...
Doesn't hurt to be as shredded as Geralt either. Thanks a lot for the comment, I don't disagree with it, but that is the thing, per the law of attract...
Values are constitutional, they imply physical arrangements and health. You can say no evidence, they're stupid and wrong, but if your values are toxi...
Art is emotionally manipulative, and within dramas, the author controls causality, so that the outcomes of actions and resolutions of circumstances ca...
Another way to look at the problem of the will, is through care. How is it that you can know the right things, and not do them? Why can't you have the...
I was inspired there by your post on Augustine's influence. Really informative, I didn't know of those distinctions, and I learned, and agree with you...
There's a beautiful irony in that art is more literal than anything else. All of the metaphors of the bodily that proliferate it, conjoined with a sug...
I did answer that. You're saying that you should only discuss the finer details of positions and doctrines with people that already agree with you and...
Perhaps you could give a demonstration. I still don't understand what you want me to do? Make up someone with different views to mine and then pretend...
I haven't spoken of essential elements of faith, or advocated for any particular sects, and have rather said that I thought that they all worked. I do...
Why? Should you only ever preach to the choir, and only ever talk to people that already agree with you? For me personally, I don't find that nearly a...
