>How does it not cause suffering?
Why do you hate suffering so much?

3/4 of the threads on /lit/ are copy-pasted.
I'm half convinced its a single cunt down on inflating the thread count for some retarded reason.

>What is the exact distance between the centers of the circles?
Whatever distance there is between me and the circles.
I am the center.

If only material objects exists and everything is only a direct representation of material properties, then entire ideal operations disappears and become impossible. Take negation for example. The source of the problem of non-existence in philosophy is the lack of understanding that negation is a reflexive operation available to any consciousness. Negating something doesn't do anything 'in the world", there is no such thing as an apple or a table or a rose out there being the subject of a physical operation that can in any way shape or form called negation.
However, negation *is* something, something that remains so timelessly, for us, available at any moment. If eliminative materialism is true, the axioms of the most basic operations of logic, mathematic, any eidetic science, essentially are illusory.

Only a fucking midwit or a poohead would think one position contradicts the other.

>This can become especially tricky for materialists regarding plants and crystals,
Its tricky for anyone with a goddamn reason. Its a particular indictment of your position that even materialists have the presence of mind to realize its wrong.
>And how do you know the supposed Brahman isn't responding because he doesn't care?
Because of the deep inter-subjective nature of consciousness. We lean how to be conscious by being exposed to other consciousnesses and non-consciousnesses, and we learn how other consciousnesses and non-consciousness are by ourselves being conscious. I know that there is a difference between being conscious and being attentive to your surroundings. I have myself operated modification of the state of my consciousness in which my awareness was fully turned toward internal, inactual, fictive content and which stopped me from being responsive to all the other content of my actual consciousness (daydreaming, deep thinking, being lost in thoughts, etc...). I also know that even in those states, a simple modification of my consciousness is always capable of repositioning me toward actual content. If you pinch me while I'm daydreaming I don't have a choice to keep on daydreaming.
>Doesn't exist.
It does. Even now in waking time you have micro-moments of unconsciousness. Doesn't really matter tho, for the matter at hand.
>So why would, in a dimension that is not truly atomic but rather just a field (or series of fields) with disturbances,
The fuck is this mongoloid speak? The mind is not a different dimension, it is not in a different dimension, please explain to me in very specific mathematical terms what the fuck is the relationship between the mind and transformations on platonic solids in higher dimensions? If you can't, shut the fuck up with this retardation.

>None of you fags will know reality.
I've literally killed over a million hogs in my life.
What is your kill count, as you clock out early like a little bitch?

It was the point tho. The entire Second World War was a false flag operation set up by the Catholic Church in order to get their hands on Husserl's manuscript before too many people managed to reach the transcendental field on their own.

Ayyys don't read, they access the residual noosphere directly without need for a sensual interface.

Prosody is an unsustainable, vain aspiration entertained by novelettes; in a Fahrenheit 451 situation, Ulysses is eventually pruned from memorized circulation, along with most other navel gazing existentialist urban lit

Belletrism is incapable of even producing a facsimile of the tragic view of life won by a personal, exeatic knowing; the best literature is the product of such a pathei mathos, and only hints at this through misdirection and unmarked asides — a poet’s mettle is apprehended instantly, even by ones indisposed to the form

> A very intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) presents you with two boxes: box A is transparent and box B is painted with a thick coat of black paint. Box A always contain 1k USD. Box B can either contain 1M USD or nothing. Do you choose to take both boxes, or just box B? Before you select your option, there is an added complication: before you get to pick, the AI has made a very, very accurate prediction about your choice. If you decide to pick just box B, you’ll get 1M USD if the prediction was correct, and 0 if it was wrong. If you decide to pick both and the prediction was accurate, you 1k. If you pick both and the AI was wrong, you get 1M+1k.

The nature of the transcendental Ego and access to the field of pure infinite consciousness.
I'll have to admit I just followed Husserl's footsteps but he does require us to do the work, he's just guiding us along.

Jesus fucking bloody Christ.
I would commit the worst atrocities if it had even the slightest chance to bring us back to the 90s.
Moloch I swear to you I will skin a thousand newborn babies in your name if you allow me to undo this. I will even sacrifice myself, you may eat and rape my soul for all eternity if you wish, whatever the cost it must be paid.
I beg of you.

It starts strong, you don't know where it comes from, and you really feel elated whenever your with the other person. Everything is better.
About 3 months in sex is just insane.
Then things become stale.
Then they become boring.
Then they go bad. You resent her and she resents you for not having held on to the early feeling.
Then you leave each other.
And then the real feeling starts. The absence. Love is truly nothing until it has ended. Then it fucks up your life more than any other feeling I've felt except that one time I had legit reasons to think someone wanted to kill me. But it doesn't go once the cops got the guy. It takes some time. Hopefully, you keep waking up feeling like she's right next to you only for the following two weeks.
