Perhaps you've heard this story. In ancient Egypt, the hearts of the dead were measured against the feather of Maat, to determine their passage in to ...

I don't think it's the biology that determines that. You could acquire a sum of great biological features and yet your psyche may be incapable to prof...

Which would mean we certainly don't exist. Oh, well.

I do. For the same reason that the end of a movie exists before it is reached. But I am a part of everything. So if everything exists at all times, so...

But considering 'you' are just the frame or composition of different things, you do exist prior to transmutation - even if in a state of void. Now I u...

You're saying that there's no state of being prior to conception. And yet... But we'd be creating something, by changing its state of being, wouldn't ...

Now, suppose we swapped out 'creates' for 'transmutes'. How do you go about then?

No pierogi?

In that sense: 1. Pleasure is acquisition. 2. Medicine is denial. Just one more thing VS no more.

But if the grass is always greener on the other side... Where's Switzerland if you're already in Switzerland?

Due to there being less pet humans, than pet animals. We butcher animals with little resistance, but cannibalism is controversial. So and so.

You will arrive along the old road. It winds with a troubling, serpent-like suggestion through the corrupted countryside. Leading only, I fear, to eve...

Ruin has come to our family. You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial. Gazing proudly from its stoic perch above the moor. I lived all m...

Wallows and the Wall-Owls.

Then tell him, but let him judge whether the mark should be lowered. Though it is an indirect analysis, if you agree with what you have written, what ...

That it fits. When the shoe fits, it is comfortable. When it does not, it pinches or flies off.

Meh.

People want too much, and can't carry the burden of it. It's always pushing and pulling; an overstressed heart. A heart attack is a learning experienc...

More or less. What does it matter if the grass is greener on the other side, if you're on this side? I guess it matters in a way, helping you take not...

The only thing I did, was write a few words to you. I did not request that you consider them. If they are not to your liking, pay them no heed.

Technically not, because who I am is not who I was; and yet, who I was, when I was, is who I am. The self is just a frame of many; in this sense there...

Then, I propose we cease this yapping. My advice to you would be: Look it over some more, mull it over some more and then go with what comes - whateve...

Not necessarily. Round and not-round can be, without being applied to anything; making us oblivious to them, but not destroying them. Again, not neces...

Technically, every desire bringing about discontentment with the self, sets one on the path to not be oneself. Obviously, even during this process, yo...

Wouldn't choice simply be 'one instead of the other'? Well, you are what you are, instead of what you aren't. That's a choice. You don't have to be aw...

It's not an inherent quality of the object. It doesn't have to be round, big or smooth. You say round in comparison with something thought of as flat....

Wouldn't they still be your choices - albeit unrecognized and unforced? Choices that don't know or care about options

You can resolve that by considering eternity isn't bigger than itself; so it's finite.

Infinity has the size of infinity. An infinity. One infinity. Infinite infinities? Let's just divide infinity in to infinite pieces. But we're still d...

Let me phrase it this way: Oversimplification and overcomplication are like zoom out and zoom in. Less pixels vs more pixels; but essentially the same...

Is there a thing such as oversimplification? Probably. Is oversimplification overly simple or just right? Depends on if you're looking at it or someth...

Moral simply is the absolutes of good and bad; which is to say, their combined form, born alongside them. The goodness and badness of things, is not g...

Let's think of it like this: Everything simply is. There's no reason, cause or purpose to its being outside of simply being. This is a self-determined...

The whole is the sum of its parts plus itself. Think of it like this: You cut up a square in to four parts. How many squares are there? Five; four lit...

Understandable. As to, did we exist before this? I'd consider it as existing in another 'state' or 'frame', moreso than existing; considering the afor...

Not necessarily. Maybe you did and you can, but you just don't remember. Consider this: At birth, you pass through a sieve, which leaves some qualitie...

Consider that when he says nothing, he just means 'lack of'. Now - are something and a lack of something different? Sure. But is a lack of something, ...

Sure, that works. I'd only say, I find spirit and soul to be different things - like the light of a flame and its heat.

Skyrim never gets old. And apparently that might be because it's from the future? I sure hope I never come across Skyguy. For all I know, he might put...

Consider the Eye of Magnus and all the mysteriously vanishing free energy projects. How from one Frodnar, we've come to a swarm of pranksters. How som...

Humor this... Mass influx of refugees from the desert to the cold north. Civil wars of appointed rulers vs usurpers 'who have the best in mind', but a...

No. Either reasonable people need me to be reasonable to accept my belief, which in turn means I have to be reasonable - or they're not reasonable; in...

You're saying reasonable people 'need' it, and yet I don't 'have to' be reasonable. So clearly, I either have to be reasonable or you're unreasonable ...

Spirit is the the power that moves. One may compare it to wind. Now, consider the following: If you should sever your hand, you would no longer be abl...

It is not about justification, as nothing wants nor needs your justification. How can you justify the existence of things? They just are, with or with...

They're all worth exploring or you stay in the dark. As to whether they have been explored? Probably. As to whether they have been sufficiently explor...

Aren't philosophers ones who should explore ideas, wherever they may lead? So, shouldn't reasonable people reason that there may be more to something,...

By contesting previously established scientific ideas. If they didn't and merely stuck to what was, we wouldn't have made a step forward. But I digres...
