What is the difference between a drug-induced trip and any fantasy I may conure up without drugs? How do you measure the value? What are your fundamental truths, Loof? Do they proceed somewhere along the lines of “if it feels good, do it� I agree. I was actually going to mention it but I thoug...

I understand what you both are saying but I just dont want to delude myself into experiencing purpose when there is none... I'm a very intellectually honest person and if there's delusion I do everything I can to destroy it - remanants from being a christian I suppose. That didn't last long. But I h...

The problem is, I guess, that we can only make our own purpose which will usually be different from anyone else's, and that purpose we make is essentially, well... nothing. So, what's the point of making your own purpose if you know there isn't much true value to it besides what it does for your emo...

Enlightenment VS The Meaning of Life
What is the purpose of enlightenment? What is the purpose of leading a superficial life? What is the purpose of anything ? While on the path to enlightenment one must sacrifice finances, a social life, family, friends, anything that would obstruct this path. And in the end, if one finally reaches en...

If whatever exists, or seems to exist, does exist in some form or another, then it surely had the potential to exist Maybe it's just me but I see something as either existing or not. I perceive the situation as being more binary. If something doesn't exist it's a '0' and doesn't become '1' until cr...

WOW! Thank you DQ for that site! I plan to immerse myself right away. :) I love to read, but getting good material is rare, and expensave! I'll be sure to check your site out too, I glanced at it already, but I'll be more in depth soon and maybe if I find something that intrigues me we can start a t...

Since if a brain did evolve from real matter and can display 'intelligence', then 'intelligence' has to be ingrained in the fabric of reality itself. I think a very interesting discussion can follow from Sapius's quote here! Although I'm not sure if we can go so far as saying that it's ingrained in...

So, does a genius by this forum's definition need a large amount of intellect as well as wisdom? Because I'm facinated in what reality really is, what life is, what the Universe is, who I am, etc. etc. but I lack the intelligence that society's definition of genius requires me to have. So what am I ...

Dhodges, If, say, in fifteen years it will be possible for the upper-middle class to buy a computer chip that could be interfaced with the human brain to dramatically improve higher brain fuctions, would you buy it? Needless to say this technology would be a turning point in human evolution. Imagine...

DQ, your thoughts on Hawking, Einstein, and Davinci are illuminating. It never occured to me that genius and intellect would be different. I guess I still have to really think what genius is because it's hard for me to thoroughly seperate the two. However, I think Einstein in his persuit for an ulti...

It definitely needs to be rewritten for clarity! But the author Chris Langdon is no college stoner. If you read some bio's about him you'll find this out. Somewhere in his site (http://www.ctmu.org) there's a link that can take you to the entire layout of the CTMU with neat little diagrams. It doesn...

Where is the boundary on intelligence?
Can a "normal" person transform into a genius with years of work? It would be interesting to find out. Let's take myself as an example. I'm 22 (young) and I'm healthy - but no genius. However, I do like to think. I love chess (however sometimes exasperating) and I'm infatuated with self-di...

Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe
I'm not a genius by any account but I have read the CTMU introduction (put forth by Michael Langdon - a genius) and I would like to get your (pl) opinion on it. Thank you.
