That was not the point. The point is how do you know that what you see is actually real since your perceptions themselves can be contaminated by manip...

What? Then who is going help me kick Tai Lung's ass?

That's not funny.

I am not a kitten with a bad attitude! I am a raging tigress.

Look at the title and figure it out. I love the Analects, but it was Plato who first initiated that 'whoa' epiphany for me, when I was 14 and realised...

You can treat time as something real with an arrow that includes a "past" or retention as Husserl would say, that real interaction with the external w...

No, it wasn't. It was a funny way of saying that you type fast. Interesting how your ego can interfere.

Good. :angry:

Seen, how? Like that "good" girlfriend of yours who has manipulated you, where your self-esteem is so low that you conform and do what you are told, l...

A permanent bitch face? Why not.

What are you a boys scout?

Nope. Ever heard of a wolf in sheep's clothing? If it were self-evident, there would probably be no such thing as philosophy. Setting aside the fact t...

Platypi? haha, must use one day.

By an educated guess you imply rational thought and so how can you ascertain the sincerity of your moral claims as transcending some mere expression o...

How is your moral character measurable?

:rage:

Are you suggesting that moral claims can be true or false? I can believe that I am justified in telling you that you are a moron because you say somet...

The connection between moral judgement and motivation rests under the umbrella of our cognitive state and thus moral expression is dependent on ration...

That makes no sense, it is supposed to be personal. As mentioned already to Michael, the Architect at the end of the movie explains whether or not you...

It's not that "deep" unless you want to read into something that's not there. As you do.

:ok: Cowardice. The worst kind being those that actually admit to being a coward, that conscious decision to avoid responsibility and allow others to ...

I am amazed at the constant indirect comments made to insult people under the guise of being some nice person. :starstruck:

I understand that, hence what the schism of opinions are all about since either pill may take you on the ride that seems most fulfilling. One, however...

The validity of our motivations enables an act to be classed as 'moral' and the authenticity behind these motivations are about our capacity to freely...

You are just reinforcing the same doubt, but how that parallels with reality is nonsensical, however even if it were so, the question is about what yo...

It returns back, though, to what you do. It is not self-pity or self-sacrifice that is inherently good, but why it is done, for what purpose. It is se...

That's just silly.

Self-pity lacks productivity. You remain stuck, like rumination. It is entirely selfish. While there may appear a parallel, feeling pity for people be...

You are forgetting the architect. If your life is determined, how can you make the choice for one. And two: What makes you think you will have a happy...

Some people think that there is a sincere implication flowing from self-pity too, but it is nothing but egotism postulating as self-sacrifice. There a...

I agree, but the parallel here is about our state of mind, about the authenticity of our experiences. We can easily find a partner who we are indiffer...

:lol: That is not the golden rule, by the way.

Cypher didn't get the girl.

While you continue to compare yourself to something articulated by others, you will forever remain a pig. Or a chicken.

Nope. Some of us have lives. And are not as weird as Agu who hovers around the forum like some theosophical spirit from a tenth dimension.

I'm a vegetarian.

You don't need to worry bout that, boy.

Where is your self-esteem? You are insulting yourself by calling yourself a pig.

You're such a gentleman.

Why "miserable"? Neo found real love and fought injustice, two of the best things anyone could ever find and the idea of that is so appealing to me. T...

I said silence! I want all the attention.

I believe that authenticity is a state of mind and love is synonymous with what we know as our motivation that combined can be explained as moral cons...

Excuse me. I'm talking here.

That enables progress both for you and others, strengthens bonds and friendships, like we have. When in the reverse?

Dog days are over. Can't you hear the horses coming?

Then it is not love anymore but merely a transaction that is mutually beneficial. It is no different to forming a relationship based on economics - be...

That is just awkward, although there was a part of me that enjoyed the parallel between the Kardashians and animal intercourse. Visualising baboons wi...

What does that even mean? Are you attempting to convey that love is not emotional or something spontaneous that develops out of your control, but rath...

Nah, I'm over it. I releaseth and it hath gone..eth. Ever thought about writing down something you have always wanted to say to someone but were unabl...

:sweat: Not you. You're the man.
