Re: The map is not the territory
Clearly man cannot live without his maps. He has his religious maps, his scientific maps, his socio-cultural-historical maps, his philosophical maps and his spiritual maps. What distinguishes the enlightened map-maker from the unenlightened map-maker? Put simply, an ignorant map-maker believes his ...

Re: Arguments against temporal finitism
Hi everyone. Are you familiar with Kant's famous argument against the idea that time has beginning? If not, you can check out this wikipedia article on temporal finitism which mentions various versions of the argument and the objections of academic philosophers against it. https://en.wikipedia.org/...

Re: fluid theory
... it is only our consciousness which creates the appearance of rigid bodies. Our conscious "frame rate" creates a powerful illusion that rigid bodies exist, when in fact all is fluid. I am wondering if this hypothesis is contradicted by scientific equations or validated. Scientists are ...

Re: Are we all the same person?
For myself, to speak of "all the same person" conflicts with how I normally define "person", as exactly that isolated "idios kosmos" which would dissolve rather quick in the face of its ultimate truth. Semantics. The crux is what he is saying is that everyone is the sa...

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump
snip David you could not be any more correct. You are preaching to the choir right now. It is no secret, to the sane among us, that choosing between Trump and Hillary was a bit like choosing between piss soup and poop brownies. The fanatics who support Trump and Hillary, many of them are a lost cau...

Re: Statement about Solway and Trump
But let's cut the nonsense. Name ONE significant achievement to come from Arabs, Africans, or any of the Aboriginal people of Australia or the Americas. I don't care what it's in: math, science, philosophy, art, or literature. I'll save you the legwork. There are none. ZERO. The most valuable contr...

Re: Life is overrated.
Life appears to continue despite the suffering. Perhaps it's even part of the process, so far, as some suffering can indeed become a regulator (eg pain says "do not!") or activator ("escape the badness or die trying"). If destroying all consciousness in totally ever would be a p...

fluid theory
I have been watching modern tv and with these new slowmo HD cameras I have been seeing drag race cars on TV, bend and flex. I began thinking about a simulation called "Rigs and Rods" and I said to myself, do metals behave as chains of rods? I said no, thinking back on Archer's Paradox, I b...

Re: Life is overrated.
You all make valid points, not much needs to be said. The only thing is, this. I would choose to struggle in reality, rather than be sent off to bliss for the rest of my meatsuit's life. This is fundamentally illogical. Good is good. Good is good and this is the closest I can come to A=A. If you don...

Life is overrated.
Many people will say I'm insane for what I am about to say. Einstein said that genius sounds like insanity to those who don't understand. But I have thought about this my whole life. This is well thought out and I am sure of this conclusion now. Life is simply, overrated. Buddha said the inherent na...

Re: What I've learned thus far
Ah, impermanence and permanences, masculine and feminine. There is permanence. Permanence of memes. The more zoomed out, the more blur, the more structure. When zoomed in, we zoom into chaos. Waves of unordered molecules. Nothing looks the same, we claim it is meaningless, impermanent, all variety. ...

Re: We the gifted, we are discriminated
I am probably talking to the wall here, the individual who posted this topic has long since abandoned these forums (5 months and only 1 post...) so I can see how the comments about how he is skittish are quite valid. But in the rare event he comes back, this post will be waiting for him. Remember th...

Been browsing Menoftheinfinite youtube channel, saw a video about Friends and Ego. Dan Rowden's I think. I firmly believe society needs to see these videos, because they are vital components to a functioning mind. These videos taught me not to believe these videos or worship these videos. I do not w...
