Whenever I post something and there is only ONE person who understands what I'm getting at, asking or playing with it's always YOU! Maybe you don't ge...
I as not asking about it in this way. I was simply thinking about how relatable such 'ideas' are to a developing human society. A plural of perspectiv...
So? What are you talking about? You've lost me. Maybe you're taking this thread as something it isn't at all. I think I'm right. you don't seem to eve...
The idea of deities exists. Psychologically I just think ONE deity seems like an oversimplification as I don't believe they really 'Exist' only that t...
This is an exaggeration of the position for those opposed to making vaccines mandatory. To be 'anti-vax' is a completely different issue. It is precis...
I don’t think so as they are not omnipotent and make mistakes. I would also say that people reflected themselves into the pantheon of gods more and th...
@"Xtrix" Have you ever looked into mnemonics in religious/cultural practice? There was a book written fairly recently by someone I cannot remember the...
To view ‘religiosity’ as a pathological illness is a reasonable question to pose just as it would be to view a lack of ‘religiosity’ as a pathological...
So you’re arguing that there are no selfless acts and that this, in and of itself, refutes the existence of ‘love’ (which you haven’t bothered to defi...
Not living merely for survival. I then went on to show instances where ‘survival’ could well have been the only real focus for prehistoric humans and ...
simply put Nietzsche was remarking about how people adhere to ‘moral principles’ as if they are rules to live by. The axe he ground was about how to m...
This may well be true of humanity today. Humanity in the depths of prehistory could justifiably be framed as only concerned with survival having (poss...
Where’s the irony? Do you not understand what he is saying here. This is basically a description of ‘asceticism’ that he is praising. You take it that...
Because you ‘follow’ and ‘see’ nothing. “Genuine - this is what I call him who goes into godforsaken deserts and has broken his venerating heart. In y...
I know what you mean. This is where nihilism sneaks in often enough. Sometimes people have to become nihilistic to see past it. Acknowledging helpless...
OK. You're human. Congrats! It is a madness in and of itself in times like these. You might come to recognise this 'insanity' as sanity that is probab...
Do you ‘think’ this thoughts or actually hear ‘voices’? There is a HUGE difference and some experience the first believing it to be the later. There a...
I’m not a buddhist. Buddhism as far as I’m concerned is related to nihilism. The nihilist grows from the assumption that life needs to give them somet...
@"Xtrix" I'd highly recommend reading The Sacred and The Profane by Eliade. Unlike other works of his (like Shamanism) it isn't a dry piece of scholar...
I didn't exactly attempt to define religion and that isn't what I meant either way. In simple, and short, terms I just meant that 'religion' (as in th...
I had bliss. That is all I can say on the matter. It's quite clear to me that persons/myths such as Buddha are existent because their there are people...
I do actually have a definition of god though. I think most other people would call it 'me' though and dismiss themselves as ever inhabiting even an i...
Again, this depends on what is meant by 'God'. Define it and it is possible. Don't define it and it is meaningless. It really is that simply (or compl...
I wasn’t referring to any particular institution. I was stating that ‘religions’ are about reinforcing our sense of existence - meaning ‘weltanschauun...
I king did this experiment already. He locked a child in a room and it had no contact with any human. The child couldn't talk or walk. It was nothing,...
I don't think you understand the point of what Husserl was trying to achieve (that is a SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS). He says so plain and clear. If you ...
Husserl doesn't 'deny' any such thing. Husserl cares about the experience of some 'object' as an experience of some 'object'. If I see a table it does...
Consciousness is like Gravity. We know it yet when we get down to the barebones we're clueless. It is okay to a low resolution understanding of someth...
I don't think they're 'taught' this exactly. It is just fashionable to be moody most of the time. Whilst negative nobodies writhe in despair the rest ...
It's not 'minimum' it's meaningless and empty. I cannot 'disprove' something that has no substance or bounds within experience. OR I can simply say th...
Because you say so or because you've written a poem about it you wish to share? :D Seriously, No. It's not enough to say something like "Him the be en...
Because no one can define 'God'. I've yet here a coherent expression of what anyone means when they say 'God'. People generally don't know what they m...
More like 70,000 years. From the hard evidence we currently have. Maybe 200,000 but we don't know for sure if they were 'the same'. All humans have a ...
Still lost I take it? I didn't need to read further. Look my fellow human. This is pointless. Passivity will just instill more and more self disgust. ...
Yeah, it's basically just nonsense. In terms of psychometrics the most solid grounding is 'g' and The Big Five. EQ is just some attempt to smuggle in ...
