I agree and love your point. Reality changing and subversive experiences are inherently important to better exploring and interacting with the world a...

I agree, with possible-whats to define the limits of plausibility. The definition of impossible is 'not able to occur or exist' so then we are faced w...

I think it does have a lot to do with mindset and environment. The mind is always in flux, is it not? So at times, some mind altering substances, such...

Fascinating article, I dont have a lot of history in biology/neuroscience, but I did get the gist, especially this part. Seems once more that so-calle...

Hey there! I'm glad someone was interested in bumping this thread, as since my posts five months previously I've come across several relevant points, ...

I disagree. By judging animals by their trainability: ie. their ability to learn human commands is inherently anthropocentric, we are judging animals ...

Have you read Ernest Becker the The Denial of Death?

Hegel I have not learned (yet), he is infamously impossible to read and understand. One of the issues with very academic ivory-tower (Early Modern) ph...

I would appreciate if you stop deleting your original points. That is mere cowardice in my opinion. If you go to all this effort to start a thread in ...

I mean. Thats one sexist narrative. I can direct you to many well-educated feminist writers that vehemently show that such a narrative is just another...

Most do not commonly read with "dedicated analysis" as you noted, but this is what is generally expected in english curriculums, something that is har...

Surprisingly, that's not a common answer LOL only on a philosophy forum it appears to be a general consensus. I too feel the same when I think of all ...

@"god must be atheist" Look at us concurring wholeheartedly! Art is all about nuance. And subjective feeling. And subjective response. Most noticeable...

I agree. I've never agreed with linear conceptions of history. I don't believe that life is necessarily 'better' now than at any other point of time. ...

@"StreetlightX" I found the thread you linked. What a ride. I agree that poetry is gesture-perhaps why poetry is its own form of 'written word'. The r...

Thoreau touches on this. I've been trying to dig up more thinkers. Orwell too. Divide and conquer. Two "parties", inconsistent, hypocritical, regressi...

@"Wallows" I've seen that video too, and I agree, it is fascinating stuff. But I don't think its as threatening or even as beneficial, as people think...

@"thewonder" But what is life? Is all life worth being extended? Many people, including the chronically depressed, would argue that sometimes life is ...

Sorry to double post but.. couldn't resist. Doubt anyone wants to spend a "million" years with anyone, and doing "what"?? Just because death is no lon...
