Are you like 100 years old or something(?)

Well freak me out, that happens to be my name, but don't tell nobody.

Just my liver.

Dan Rowden wrote:The false and true self.

A self exists. You can't doubt this because if something appears, it exists. But the trick is to know in what way the self exists, and that entails understanding the nature of existence, per se. The appearance we designate "me" doesn't have some miraculous properties and nature that distinguishes it from all other things that we say exist. What we experience as a self, as an apparent seat of consciousness and experience is just like all other things - an appearance whipped by causality (Nature) that lacks inherency. Now, this self is perfectly real, as real as anything else; it's just not an appearance that can generate the sort of psychological output we see in/as emotion. There's isn't the false dualism of self/other and the attachments that accrue as a consequence. There's nothing that loses and gains; nothing that needs security and validation and therefore experiences "rejection"; nothing that desires things be other than how they are or that can be attached to outcomes (being attached doesn't mean you don't work towards them, since purpose and values are hardwired into discriminative consciousness - in much the same sense that a tree isn't attached to the fact that it spreads its roots, it's just part of what trees do).

Easy. First, gag her. Alternatively, you can use anesthesia. Then, using a sharp instrument... Oh wait, perhaps I misunderstood the question...?

Where is the Philosophy in that? Just saying if I'm supposed to be subtly trolling GF, then you are espousing views of hatred. Are you like the same person as Dan Rowden?

Sorry if I"m out of place,

Glad I haven't been around too long, wouldn't mind that IP ban coming up shortly :(

Poetic, yet true.

An innocent joke is an attack? I'd expect such a reaction from Carl, but not from you.

I think the point is that there are some people whose only intention is to reduce everything they see to the level of a joke. It's actually interesting in one sense, but tedious in another.
