Well, it was indecent.

*pig despairs* ... solipsism

Well, what he said exposes his belief that death can be a release from life given gratuitous suffering and the impossibility of relief from said suffe...

It was just a banal statement, irrelevant to the point of this thread really. My point is that if certain fundamental truths cannot be ascertained by ...

There's a lot to talk about this. It can even be argued that, evolutionary, we're at a disposition to take things on 'authority' and trust in order pr...

By definition, that fulfills the criteria of solipsism. Don't you agree?

Well, he just lost the game...

It's a vacuous and trite statement. Meaningless and nonsensical. As if one were a solipsist.

What does this even mean?

You can nibble on my ear if you get hungry again. :razz:

The only hinge proposition that I've encountered throughout my time doing philosophy is solipsism. What do you chaps think about that hinge propositio...

So, philosophers are full of shit when they talk about hinge propositions?

Why are you a lone wolf? I thought wolfves stayed in packs. Also, I hold no grudges for you eating me when I was a chicken.

OK. If @"Erik" joins us, then I will stay a pig. What's @"Buxtebuddha" up to?

I don't know. I blame the idolatry of the self and taking your-self too seriously. Since the self is the common denominator for all things perceived/f...

*becomes an incel*

Can one criticize the botched, perverted, and sadly mass produced/manufactured Jungian collective unconscious, at all? How does one reason with this i...

I'm still trying to reason through where the incel has gone wrong in his beliefs. Namely, the assumption (grounded on what) that people are all hedoni...

I've grown to understand that pragmatism is what your reffering to when it comes down to assessing the utility of various beliefs. No?

I feel as though, "organized" is being used here ambiguously or pejoratively. I wonder what does Buddhism think about the chaos, disorder, and irratio...

*Pig grows jolly.* Nice to see you. Let us know how your psychoevolution/psychodynamics has been progressing.

The rodents are quite shy. @"Agustino" must be busy preparing for something.

Well, that's quite literally insanity... Self fellating garbage as you would say. However, what interests me is how can this logic, outlined in your p...

This is a valuable insight. Care to expand on that?

Is it an urge, instinct, or what? Like, I get peeing, just not sure if birds feel that way every time they need to migrate.

I'm a pig, I just know when someone wants to harm me. Even in my sleep. ASMR and all that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_sensory_meridian_r...

Yeah, who needs that. Seems to cause more issues than not. So, you migrate. Never understood that phenomenon of my many furry friends in detail. When ...

*pig understands* We treat all animals equally on Robinson Crusoe's island. Friday, helps around too but is no servant nor an animal; but, a human bei...

*pig grows very confused* You have servants?

Not as fun as being fed at the beach by kids: http://cdn.islandroutes.com/tour-images/60/med_yx13n.jpg

Thanks, man.

:lol:

I'm just a pig. I don't know many tricks. And I have no weapons to use. In fact, we don't need any weapons on the island! It's smooth sailing all the ...

*pig mutters quietly* Guns are scary...

I can see why you would say that. You take your time and make sure things are as they should be. Anyway, let's not get too deep it's just a game I thi...

@"Sum Dude" is back. *pig rejoices*

Join us Caldwell. What animal would you like to be? I think flowers are nice. *pig enjoys the flowers in Caldwell's avatar*

Well, I'm a pig. You'll have to ask @"Noble Dust", what he has transformed into.

I don't know. I might be professing my own ignorance about Buddhist thought; but, it seems to me that it is all about perfect control through sheer aw...

What about chaos? I always felt that the desire to alter ones mind and hallucinate meant dissolving the percieved order/chain of progression of events...

So, it's dichotomies all the way down. One cancels the other and so on?

What happens if you take both pills at once? Isn't that the ultimate expression of human freedom?

So, what kind of sounds do you make?

Oh your safe now. *pig goes back to wallowing*

You've hit the 666 post number count. Quickly post something to remove that scary number! *pig grows worried*

Hmm... Well, then maybe Australia? We have a lot of inhabitants from thereabouts and they seem not as inclusive as the Kiwi's, so who knows?

*pig makes a jolly noise*

Yes, it's a great book. I have to read his Nostromo and Lord Jim, which is a direct allegory to his guilt for becoming an immigrant. He had severe dep...

Well we can make a truce on the island. It'll be like the Galapagos islands with friendly wolves living in harmony with us other toothless animals.

Yes, become a turtle. I like turtles. :halo: Sometimes I help the turtles get to the ocean and let them swim there at ease. :oink:
