I agree that there's no point in talking if people don't get the meaning of your message, it's their role to let you know if they did not get the mess...

How can you prove you have been around that long? How can you prove you have been everywhere?

Where's consciousness generated, then?

So, I guess you're just explaining this to yourself and not the OP, right?

The brains of people in comma remain despite having lost consciousness...

Common language can't be as precise as we wisht it were, mathematics and logic get that job done instead. Also, most people (myself included) won't di...

How are you so sure people misunderstand you to that point? Aren't they answering anything?

I second Baden on this. It took some practice for me to socialize better. When I was 17 or 18 I started taking dancing lessons and going to parties mu...

I love philosophy. I just wish I weren't this lazy so I could read more about it. : (

I usually don't ask in forums if I can google things myself. I'm clearly not satisfied by the answers on google and thought that this would need more ...

I don't think there's a particular reason to this balance we see just the same way as there are no particular reasons to most of the things we experie...

Ok, so, the Universe suddenly begins and both the momentum and position of every particle is somehow determined which allows some outer observer to kn...

I think there's no way you can know you could really have been in the right place. Too many variables involved are also ignored by us to be sure. If i...

I think you're right. I was saying stuff from my point of view but I'm sure you look at the issue differently since you were closer to it. And yes, I ...

Why is it disturbing that they are so public? Things like suicide need to stop being considered as taboo to be prevented more effectively. I do agree ...

Awesome poetry. Did you write it or does it belong to some other author? I would like to see more of it.

Schopenhauer1 So it seems you just want everyone to accept that dealing with stuff is actually bad. Then what ? Are you ok with thinking everything yo...

Then no value should be assigned to it. Doing things and dealing with others are just a feature of life. Being aware of the differences between the wa...

Yes. You perfectly got my point. I only compare the suffering of others to myself to realize that what I'm going through is not the great deal. Howeve...

How can you decide having to deal with stuff is bad if there hasn't been any other way ever? This is my point when I talk about ideals. It seems bad t...

You know I don't agree on the inherent suffering in life but I do agree that many people identify themselves with the actual suffering and it fucking ...

I cannot help but asking. What was Schoppenhauer's drive to exist? I mean, did he only survived?

in the end to do something about something is the best advice you can have as people cannot properly empathize, I guess.

I agree with this and I would also add that parents are not to blame either as there's no way to know why you were born and not someone else.

When I discuss about the good things in life and in people we are not on the same page either. I think pessimism is easy because confirmation biases a...

I don't think that dealing with some situation is good is something we can all agree upon. Good in what sense? Good for me only, the person who has th...

I like your quote by Schoppenhauer. That's exactly the way I feel about suicide. I think death in that way is seen as relief just because that's the c...

I don't think life is intrinsically negative. I just think some people created that sort of metaphysics as the easiest answer to life which to me has ...

You're absolutely right. I should have stick to a single activity and not both the philosophical debate and the advice but again, advice must also be ...

sorry for taking too long to answer. I'm still figuring out what being an adult is to me. I'm sure that I do want to do well and make the difference. ...

I don't know anyone in such circumstances but It could happen that some friend or familiar of mine wanted to commit suicide and I felt forced to do so...

both suicide and suicide prevention are philosophical themes to me. Suicide is a philosophical question in the sense that it is a fundamental choice b...

@praxis,@Shamshir, I'm sorry for not answering in a while. yes, I've been out of my comfort zone. I dealt with both asshole teachers and asshole class...

To me there's no point in trying to determine whether that is true or not. If they know they're lying that's their problem. I can only verify their wo...

One thing that makes me sad the most about life is thinking about not being able to learn everything I want to learn because at some point I'll have t...

I believe metaphysics needs to be somehow detached from language analysis to be considered useful.

The wikipedia article also has a lot of links to documents and not only the information you read.

@Wallows, I have no idea of what you're going through. I don't know how I could even cope with suicidal thoughts myself. One thing is certain, nonethe...

Could you please tell us what your sources are? How are you supporting this claim? The only energy known to humans is the one defined by and studied i...

This whole energy thing intrigues me... I suggest you to elaborate as well.

I've recently started to look at solypsism as a kind of metrology investigation. If we want to measure something, we use a pattern and we compare what...

I second this, there's no cage. It's only about exploring your potential, finding out what things you like etc.

Thanks for answering. My issue is that mathematical division seems to be limited by its concepts, by the things that are to be divided and not only by...

Hi, Old Brian. Firstly, thanks for your answer. How exactly did you find out how to equip yourself? Did you read any specific books? Did you talk to c...

Why would you feel disgusted about that? Is it because of what humans have done to them? Otherwise, they don't care about their own way of living and ...

That's obviously not true. Hence why you're here.

Hi there. I've been through something similar. Last year I realized life was meaningless. I also began to question my spiritual beliefs which felt lik...

Interesting experience you had. Do you feel your potential has decreased somehow since the incident? Have you looked up Fermi's paradox?

Yes, he was... Sigh
