Yes and no. One can always leave open the possibility that life has cheated one and change their position towards it.
March 05, 2020 at 23:05
There is no sophistry here, worry not. I meant it with regards specifically towards the notion of a negative arising in life.
March 05, 2020 at 23:01
One must hedge for the notion of life allowing one to live in accordance to one's own Will... And, this is profoundly liberating.
March 05, 2020 at 23:00
Well, think of it this way... If I leave the possibility to entertain both notions at once by leaving open the possibility to have it both ways, then ...
March 05, 2020 at 22:55
Please provide something more to go about here. I have given you the template, so you are not left to affirm or deny it, yes?
March 05, 2020 at 22:52
Well yes. If a person chooses to entertain this concept, then responsibility and accountability become absurd to nourish.
March 05, 2020 at 22:50
The grapes are indeed sour.
March 05, 2020 at 22:48
I don't think other terms are necessarily useful here. I have tried to be as succinct with words as possible, and these words were the only ones left ...
March 05, 2020 at 22:44
Yes, but if I have died before death, and if this position is so much easier to attain, then it is of greater strength than merely an affirmation or d...
March 05, 2020 at 22:25
The profoundness is to be found in this sort of rationale in that a negative becomes unnecessary, yes?
March 05, 2020 at 22:21
Yes, but do take it upon yourself to analyze the deeper truth here. If one has rationally preemptively understood death, then there is nothing that ca...
March 05, 2020 at 22:19
Ethically speaking, one can extinguish ones flame without action. This is a rational position to live by and experience life. The Stoics would have be...

There's nothing you can do to me or take away from me at this point. I'm depressed, medicated, broken, but have a clear consciousness.
March 05, 2020 at 19:35
Not very well Tiff. I'm suffering over the complete and utter media blackout on Sanders winning the most delegate rich state, California. I find this ...
March 05, 2020 at 19:16
There's a complete and worrisome silence over at CNN about Sanders winning so many states. Because of this I will leave the country.
March 05, 2020 at 19:03
Nobody better ask me for proof, because I have it and you'll eat your own shit.
March 05, 2020 at 18:50
I actually scoured the CIA FOIA database for information and found something related to communist agents operating in the country. I then sent that do...
March 05, 2020 at 18:48
I find my-self repulsive and full of negativity, especially as of late. Does that contribute to what you describe?
March 05, 2020 at 18:05
How about baby giraffes?
March 05, 2020 at 11:57
Urban dictionary it. Just "Westlake". :kiss:
March 05, 2020 at 11:39
Of course it exists just so that we can say that it doesn't. Shitty post @"Banno"?
March 05, 2020 at 09:50
No, in the sense that how they survive. For fucks sake.
March 05, 2020 at 08:27
Huu? Btw, your totally Westlake, man. Too much time in Thailand I guess.
March 05, 2020 at 08:26
Suddenly becomes interested in baby giraffes...
March 05, 2020 at 05:37
Holy shit was this a two weeks of total something. Was again in a psychiatric hospital but this time in some shady shit neighborhood. Like the populat...
March 05, 2020 at 02:43
I kind of ran through your response, and think there's some merit to the idea. But, it strikes me ass odd to believe that you can't figure out the cha...
February 19, 2020 at 01:48
Sorry. Not sure what I meant there.
February 18, 2020 at 17:50
I don't know, a little more often?
February 18, 2020 at 16:31
Wittgenstein would look it bewilderment. Names ought not be used in such ways.
February 18, 2020 at 16:30
Thanks, @"Baden". I think, it's time for me to shut up and think a little more.
February 18, 2020 at 03:00
Oh, like living with p-zombies?
February 16, 2020 at 23:54
Come again?
February 16, 2020 at 23:49
And what's wrong with that?
February 16, 2020 at 23:45
The concept of gratuitous suffering is rendered more aptly with a fawn or dog or cat than a cockroach???
February 16, 2020 at 23:40
I don't think so. Maybe's aside, doesn't that make God a masochist?
February 16, 2020 at 20:41
Notice the unusual myown fixation in this thread on the word "gratuitous"?
February 16, 2020 at 20:39
Look at what happened to Japan...
February 16, 2020 at 15:14
I have a small solution to #1, being, the problem of GAI, but, #2, remains a sort of hidden variable working in the background. The problem with #1, i...
February 16, 2020 at 12:06
Uhh, I'm on injections now and another antipsychotic. It's my imperative to not encounter another episode and I think I have the right plan to do so. ...
February 15, 2020 at 19:55
Dude it was a commandment from Musk himself, so I had to oblige. #DeleteFacebookNow
February 15, 2020 at 17:50
Man, I really can't wait to get out of this hellhole.
February 15, 2020 at 14:19
Just deleted Facebook, what a process! And they leave you with 30 days to jump on back the bandwagon.
February 15, 2020 at 13:39
Hence inter-subjectivity? The observer effect seems to play a role here. But, that aside, I can see the point of utilizing some ideas from Godel to ju...
February 15, 2020 at 07:40
Well, I tend to think that axioms can be theoretical in nature? Have you ever encountered such a sentiment in your line of work?
February 15, 2020 at 07:36
Sorry I just gasped at the comments about "Cantor's program". I meant Hilbert's program. Such a dumb and stupid mistake...
February 15, 2020 at 03:43
Sorry. A bit flustered today. Anywho, uhh, propose something to talk about and I'll meditate over it. Thanks!
February 15, 2020 at 01:16
But, there seem to be facts that exist in a higher plane, that are pictures or synesthesia or some such? If a higher power language can capture all th...
February 14, 2020 at 23:35
Care to offer any proof to this assertion, kind Sir?
February 14, 2020 at 23:30
I don't know where the certainty in that negation is stemming from. Care to clarify?
February 14, 2020 at 23:23
But, think of it this way. If there exists, a non-denumerably infinite alphabet, then we can enjoy everything there is to say about Cantor's work and ...
