Just coming back to this post and yes, I actually prefer Cioran now that I've learnt of him recently.lol

Will not might, in my opinion.

I was actually thinking about this yesterday and I think the problem is money is the only way of expressing worth in our society, the moment the conce...

lol, I'm not certain if I'm not just reading that into it, which is why I posted it here. I wouldn't say I'm impressed by it but I don't share your di...

Disturbing, especially if it's a natural extinction.

I'm not particularly criticizing our system, merely positing that we could use this system to infer the mentality of a group and that the masses indir...

I agree with you, I feel like we often downplay the effect of globalization in that it has made available to us information almost impossible to get o...

To appease them, and escape the nauseating condescension.

Bleh, A creature is more than a memory. When a person dies they take nothing with them but themselves. Even if ou argue that their perception of the p...

Oh well, Perhaps I can smear the shit rather than toss it at you. Descent refers to shared ancestry being a far stronger unifying factor for civilizat...

Yes, is there something I could clear up? First language doesn't mean I'm perfect lol.

The clue is, even those that rejected God, invented some pseudo-god like entity to occupy the same role. And my argument is that this is an aspiration...

There are many people who hold firmly to an empirical(?) standpoint. In a discussion with them, their opinion of what is true/right is based on facts.

I'm sorry I made a mistake during the posting. I've edited it now to what I meant to say. "If all (perception and understanding of) reality is subject...

If all (perception and understanding of) reality is subjective then the burden of proof is not on the claimant but on the disagreer. I seem to have ma...

I say subjective since our perception is influenced by multiple personal factors. Our reality which we experience is personal to us then.

Not the one asked but if it's included in the basic package like General health and dentist and you're required to go for regular checkups, well by th...

I agree with you, I've always held that theoretically perfect systems are impossible because of a human flaw, that wars were sort of a communal orgasm...

They would simply close their eyes and sign it, then slowly it would become an in-joke.

Dissatisfaction drives Humanity.

Are these also from a collection of Aphorisms? I liked the first one.

Late to this but if your bird lays an egg, the egg belongs to the bird who belongs to you, so the egg is yours.

Not necessarily backwards thinking more like it's refusal to play along harmed them all. Their attempt at compensation was doomed to fail.

So the cage is impending doom?

Nice. This was a perspective I never thought of. Thanks!
