I almost feel militant and hostile towards the Western conception of what the family/atomic unit ought to look like. Yes, it exists in the back of my ...

I must say that this thread is a delicacy. Thank you, Fooloso and Pussycat. Meow!

Hmm, a difficult situation. I have come as close to bliss and tranquility as I could possibly have by staying on the seabed since I'm a metal exoskele...

I made some rice. It's was a little to oily but tasted good. Now trying to sleep.

Papa!

Baden, should be orphan-Wallows father. Hear hear.

Not what?

But, I've been lost in some dark and dank forest easting some strange mushrooms. You wouldn't want that. All this neglect, oppression, abandonment, is...

See, what unenelightened is telling us here is that I belong with the child protection agency. I don't know how to take care of myself. Imagine my ava...

I would name either @"Nils Loc" or @"unenlightened" his Godfather. But, since unenlightened is tired of llfe, I might choose @"schopenhauer1" or @"dar...

Yeah, well, why doesn't Bob want to be a bodybuilder? Doesn't every male fantasize about being big and strong and look like Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Can you try and please explain the psychology behind this whole process? It's like these people are actually hurting by being themselves, and hate the...

How could this be true? Every wrong has to be madeth right, so sayeth the Lord.

So wallowsome!

So, the question has become one of not socialization; but, collectivism. Can individualism coexist in a highly collectivist society, implying that suc...

Well, we no longer have the draft, in place. But, would you call a society, say Israel, as more coherent and socialized in terms of atomic units rathe...

See, you're even doing it @"unenlightened". To prove a point, and now we may rest since the point has been made.

But, can't their e a moment of inhibition in regards to the incessant arising of wants and desire. Some ough call this death or the relinquishment of ...

One the contrary. Boredom only attained a negative association with the rise of the ROmantics and such. It's a battle against the different terms used...

Therefore, if you're feeling bored, everything is alright! Huuurayy.

I believe that meditative bliss is the final telos of brute boredom. SO, to recreate the situation in a different light, then boredom is simply an art...

I'm surprised more mature readers of this forum, haven't found solitude in "boredom"? Isn't that a sign that everything is proceeding well and such?

So, boredom need not be evil. It can be good too.

I suggest looking into a IHSS (In Home Supportive Services) equivalent in your state. It has been a Godsend for me and my mom. We kind of exploit the ...

It's fine. Wallows perfunctorily...

Poor cat! Wallow wallow...

Oh, like setting the world on fire... Wallow wallow...

Go feed the cat. Wallow wallow ...

Yes, it was a sad day. Wallow wallow.

Wallow wallow ... Poor cat. Wallow meow....

Wallow wallow. Did you feed the cat? Meow meow.

Wallow wallow... Yes, the ship is sunk. Wallow wallow...

Too busy wallowing... Wallow wallow. :blush:

This might come off as disingenuous; but, the Nazi's hanged signs stating something to the matter that work gives one freedom, feeding the belief that...

I think the bigger import of this story is that wavefunction collapse fails under such an interpretation of results.

IN case you post this on PF, please send a link. I stopped posting there indefinitely.

Yes; but, there can be no modality without the observer effect on a macroscopic scale concerning n>1 observers, such as has been demonstrated here? So...

Sorry, this link is more suitable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity Where the previous one is a thought about the later.

It's pretty big. Have a read about what Ray Kurzweil thinks about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singularity_Is_Near

The key piece I took away from the article is the following: The experiment produces an unambiguous result. It turns out that both realities can coexi...

Oh, cool. Glad we can agree on something here. Have you or do you subscribe to the SIngularity movement? Or have heard of it?

I don't quite see any intermediate entity that would be some arbitrage between the demands that we will face in the future due to our collective lifes...

I think the concept of generations is becoming subject to increasing scrutiny and examination, now that practically everything of interest is becoming...

Indeed he is. :cool:

Aww, @"Baden", I blame @"S" for moving this thread to the Lounge.

I got over it, like I did of your selfish, egotistical, and highly immature comments. Hah! :blush:

You can't sink a ship twice.

It must be Alzheimer's. Did you take your daily dose of fish oil, pops?

A rising tide lifts all boats.
