I love Janny, and I wish them long life and happiness

That God is real

That I can just sit down without external stimuli and think about stuff. Derive new things, create new mathematics, surprise myself in the process.

>>16586143
yeah how do i do that? because i'm pretty i wanted to an hero all day long and it's already 11am

>>16586143

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.

That eating cereal makes me want to kill myself (unironically). I realized how much food can impact my mental state without me being aware of it.

Good. Stay away from Grains, anon. They're evil. Dairy too. Drink Kefir instead of milk. Drink cultured raw milk if you must have dairy. Stay away from meats that are pumped full of chemicals.

That women are the nigger of gender

>>16586271
Believe that you can find a way, and you will. Take the first step to affirming that you can be happy, denying that you can’t be happy, you deserve to be happy, denying that you don’t deserve to be happy, and Happiness will be your destiny as much as it has become your destination. I believe in you, you can do it!

Serious question: how old are you?

>>16586125
meaning is a physical attribute: it is translation from one thing to another. Meaning began with life.

>>16586125
Life and death are equally important processes of natural occurrence, to fear death is to fear life, without death there can be no life and to truly appreciate life one must acknowledge death. Fear of death is rational, one may traverse the dark or sickness or war and return, but no one has returned from death.

You've been put here for a purpose.
I don't know what your purpose is; you obviously don't.
That depression you are in DEMANDS that you get the fuck up and JUST FUCKING DO SOMETHING.
Then maybe you will figure out your purpose.

That thinking of God as a physical and moral imperative is sufficient for me to believe in Him.

my priest cured my elitism, it's always more fun to see others as frens rather than subhuman

>>16586483
I agree with you about the purpose. Overall I do things, sport included, I have friends, etc. I think the issues at hand are more deeply rooted than just being active. I was a little bitter when I answered your post because I don't believe in this optimism about being happy "everyday". But if you're happy of your life most days, I'm glad for you anon and I hope it will go on.

Every experience can be enlightening.

What would you define as your "community"? Do you have close people in your life?

One for Plato reasons and Two because I think Plato is wrong and that it is the key to our universe, maybe Three if you think of another one as the binding force.

>>16586459
Yup

Hapiness begins at seeing the world as beautiful.
Once you realise this you only grow from there.

People who can't grasp that happiness just on its own trumps power, money, relationships, friendships, and everything else that people see as 'making it' in a western world. Having healthy emotions and a healthy mind is the most important thing to life you could ever as for. You just need to be happy. You don't need no reason or reason. It just naturally comes and UHHH it's just so hard to explain to someone who isn't ever happy and can't experience it themselfs. All I want to do is help people see

You guys ever think about the fact that in the bible the first human is named Adam and the thing that makes up all matter in the universe is also called an atom
Pretty crazy stuff huh

>>16586595
It would maybe be interesting if there were any connection between the two.

A best friend, a few close friends, a decent number of normal friends, an overall nice family. No gf, a few girls have expressed interest in me but I fled because of social anxiety which plays a big role in this pitiful state.

>>16586462
leave your concrete building and go into nature to find something beautiful and think about it for a while. Listen to classical music and try to find that same sense of beauty. It's there. It's God. Thank me later.

>>16586595
It's even more crazy that Adam is named after Adama, which would technically be matter... like atoms

>>16586485
And if you wish to love that God, you will see how personal he really is.

I'm a part of existence and there's nothing outside of just being that could ever make me happy or content.

>>16586626
Been there done that. I love trees, Bach and poetry. I have a hard time believing in God but I genuinely try. Guilt, sin and decay always take over. I made a thread on /lit/ about forgiveness a few days ago because I think there is the beginning of a path there.

>>16586125
That there is no difference between subjectivity and objectivity. They are the same thing. When you really think about it, you are put in a very strange mental state.

>>16586697
I really don't get what that means... could you explain? Or is it like profound-but-wrong kind of thought? Like mysticism lol or something

>>16586125
Well I used to agonize a lot over my mistakes, especially mistakes that affected others.
Then I realized that the agony I was feeling over each mistake was suitable punishment for that mistake.
And now, when I remember, I still agonize. But I tell myself that the pain is penance enough. And I don't agonize quite as much as I used to.

What does that even mean? Are you mentally ill?

>>16586618
That makes things difficult, then, although no GF is actually a positive sign. Have you considered a radical life change? An ethically fulfilling career, a jarring move, a perspective-shifting experience? Above anything else, I honestly suggest philanthropy, or a heavily philanthropic career. There is nothing that helps a man more than helping others.

I deleted that post because it sounded a bit retarded. I will rewrite again:

The objective world and your perception of it are the same thing. You are the world looking at itself. Your observation is just an extension of the thing you are observing.

Idk, it might just sound even more retarded.

I realized that everything we see, every animal on earth, every moment in history, every form of pain or pleasure, every profound thought, every great work of art, all of it, was only possible because some fish decided to walk on land millions of years ago.
It's not just a meme anymore. Sometimes i lay awake at night and my cat sleeps on me, and i think that we both have a common ancestor in Tiktaalik. And when i go shopping or go to the gym, or when i go to work and am on transit, i realize that all the people there are all descended from a walking fish. Whenever i see a gorgeous girl or listen to someone influential or intelligent, I cannot help but see them as the progeny of a walking fish. When i go to the park, i know that pretty much every person and animal i see are all there because of him. When i watch the news, i know that even the grandest of political events, all wars, all millitary conflicts, every genocide, every religion, it's all there because of him.

I realize now that Satan in Genesis was never a talking snake, but a walking fish. He ate the fruit by going on land, and he doomed us all to exist.

>>16586317
honestly sounds like he's pretty spiritually immature and hasn't suffered enough. the deeper i go the more i yearn for God alone, and i'm not even deep by any stretch of the imagination. also, Vatican II was a robber council and we haven't had a valid pope since Pius XII and we're living in the end times.

this is more true than you know. one time i had to go to a jobsite in a town like an hour away that i had never even heard of and i don't have a gps. so my boss gave me the address and i looked at where the town was on a map and just said fuck it and drove straight to the house in literally the most efficient route i could've possibly taken. shit blew my mind

Stop with this self help faggotry. It's simple, don't try/force it. Happy people don't force themselves to be happy, they just are.

one time when i was a little kid i was thinking about how memories worked and i thought "what if i remember this moment for the rest of my life" and i still remember it.

>>16586922
I was not happy every single day of my life, but then I only count life as those days I was happy, and life is but the moments I spent loving. As Parmenides explained, one can think of what is-not, but no one can say they Know. For knowing apprehends only what-is.
By definition I can think of unhappiness, and the many days that remain unworthy of the word, which is God.
Stay blessed and peace be with you forever <3

>>16587076
Yeah i had the same thing when i had a memory in elementary school on the toilet. It was on a wednesday

>>16587065
Some people need help, and it is an act of love to aid in their force against the weight that bears them down. But I don’t think think that this is what you meant by faggotry. People deserve love, and if they find love with someone omg the same sex, that is not yours to make a sign of contempt of, and you put yourself out of place by attempting to displace your brothers and sisters dear friend.

>>16586459
This. Roger Scruton said something related to this in a speech or debate: "It's good manners to believe that the person you are speaking with is more important than you".

>>16587101
I like this alot

You will only ever encounter the most infinitesimal cross section of god.
God is an infinite being sprawled across all of time and existence. For all our lives, we only know the smallest slice of the entirity of God. Any perceptions we have of him is akin to pretending to know a man by the manner of the atoms in his toe nail.
We are always seeing an incomplete god because we don't have infinite perception. You need to see all time at once in order to comprehend god in his fulness.

>>16587076
Based, when I was 12 I said I would never fuck a girl, to this day, I'm still a virgin.

>>16586822
Your imagination seems keen on fashioning false memories as real knowledge, and robbing you of your birth right to feel gratitude and appreciation for the gift of life. I framed it in this way so that you know there is still hope, if you can picture it using what you truly know. Be still and know anon, all things are yours so that you may know yourself as that which you seek; abundance!

>>16587128
God isn't divided into parts, so even a tiny perceived "piece" of God is still fully God.

>>16587153
Humans fundamentally do not have the perception to comprehend or grasp all of god the same way a flat slice of a cube is just a square and not indicative of a cube.

We do not and cannot know God in mortal life.

>>16587081
Well written text and thanks for kind words.

>>16587169
You mean to say women and children aren’t capable of profound thought and the actualization of knowledge, and that by addressing me in this way you wish to make me feel less capable than I am, and that what I have said has less worth than I wish to believe. You judge what I have said as nothing more than a lie, and that what I wish to do is shape reality out of its true form in order to make right what is inherently wrong. You extend yourself not as a friend, you put down those who brought you into this world, carried and nurtured you in their body, you insult the path you yourself once took and fashion yourself to have come fully out of, and the proof of this is in your ability to come against your brothers attempt to help his brothers, and this ability is anything but detrimental.
No thank you.

>>16587303
Not who your responding to, thank God, but I’d like to point out that, after Christ, God is The Friend. And any friend one may find, is a one who, more or less, comes to embody who and what God is. Stay in high spirits

Biological urges not to.

Even if I did not have them, a state of being is almost universally preferable to a state of non-existence on a subjective level, thought that in-of-itself is likely tied to biological urges.

That's the point, I don't have to justify my existence, as my existence or not does not matter, nor does the external universe.
You may as well ask "Justify your existence to the Sumerian King", I do not matter to him, he does not matter to me, we do not matter to the universe, the universe does not matter to me, to itself, to anything.

The grass is always greener; happiness is never truly attainable. It's the pursuit that keeps us going, but it's also the pursuit that can cause profound sadness.

During our earthly existence we will always have a longing for transcendence; to be something beyond what we currently are. Literature, philosophy, etc. all do excellent jobs at diagnosing/describing the longing for transcendence. But, unfortunately, there is ALWAYS a gap between ourselves and what we imagine to be better or elevated. And that is where literature and the wisdom of humanity has no real solution. it can only poke holes in the search for fulfillment, but never actually guide you into reaching it.

This realization can either drive you mad or make you appreciate all the little things and enjoy the life you actually have.

>>16586822
That's not the point of the story of the fall. The eating of the apple, the anger of God, being cast out from the garden, that's all a symbolic interpretation of man gaining consciousness, realizing his mortality, understanding that meaning is fundamentally unknowable, and that death comes to us one and all. The purpose of the story is to give us an explanation for the guilt, confusion, and anxiety we all fear. It's absolutely beautiful and arguably one of the greatest works of art ever created.

Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact, I don't let nothing hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, so can you
Everybody's saying that the Scatman stutters
But doesn't ever stutter when he sings
But what you don't know, I'm gonna tell you right now
That the stutter and the scat is the same thing to you
I'm the Scatman – Where's the Scatman?
I'm the Scatman
Why should we be pleasing in the politician heathens
Who would try to change the seasons if they could?
The state of the condition insults my intuitions
And it only makes me crazy and a heart like wood
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you
As a matter of fact, I'm letting nothing hold you back
If the Scatman can do it, brother, so can you
I'm the Scatman

Well, I'm the professor and all I can tell you is
While you're still sleeping, the saints are still weeping 'cause
Things you called dead haven't yet had the chance to be born

That the world we all live in is heaven. Some days just go so well that I honestly couldn't see it being any other way. Even when things go poorly and I have bad days I realize that the true hell is to never have existed at all. Even to be that man standing on the outside looking in is a gift. You don't have to be the one prospering you can just be. The true tragedy with death in my mind is that its extinguishing knowledge that can never be recovered. With the passing of family members or other dear ones I can only wonder "what great stories did I not hear?" and those stories are forever locked behind a wall I can't pass. I don't even squish bugs anymore knowing what I know. However insignificant it may be I can't help to feel like I just put out a candles flame that had waited 13.8 billion years to be lit. Also feel free to tear my ideas apart I'm not saying I'm right its just the way I think personally and I hope someone else might stand to gain something by it.

When I interact with thise people, I just imagine they are one time characters or georges parents from seinfeld.

Even the most memorable thing or event shall vanish for good into oblivion, since the universe itself will perish eventually (in a long long time, but it certainly won't live forever); so why even try being "the best" at something? No-one will remember me, you, Achilles or Einstein, we'll all fade, thus, we just need to live by the moment, not to think on the future.

that's what he says pretty often, that we all are Christ to each other, and when you do something to others, good or bad, you're doing it to God. through your actions with people you interact with God. the Bible says exactly that but I can't remember which book

thanks man, here's a rare gif

Everyone praises an obedient child, but obedient adults are worth nothing.

>>16589211
holy based, imagine being a miserymongering whining faggot instead of believing that life is a literal garden of Eden

>>16589441
they're worth everything in the eye of the statesand its avid followers (see: bootlickers), aka the same people who praise in children obedience over every other virtue.
good upbringing would reward not blind obedience, but an ability to see where others know more and taking their advice and requests seriously

>>16589287
you are really dumb

I'm not transgender, I've always seen myself in the future as a father, not a mother. I was made to feel this way since I was a child by the manner of other children mocking me for being the weakest, slowest and thinest child among my peers. I was also told at the time to be more beautiful than some girls, and I was not stupid, I noticed since a child my finer facial structure and attractiveness. I was even further humilliated by some girls as they armwrestled me and won. I guess I resorted to the: if only I had been a girl instead of a boy noone would be making fun of me and instead they'd love to be around me. I never liked men, tho, and also I never started acting like a faggot, I still hung out with male friends and was kinda scared of girls. I still fantasized about being a girl when I was going to sleep though. Mix that with porn since like 14 and you get a degenerate who wanted to transition since like 16. It was all a farce, though. Thankfully I got out of it and also got another online friend out of it along the way. Some people live that farce, though, without ever doubting their own lies. They'll die unfulfilled.

>>16588796
Yes.

>>16587004
Bame an example of something that is "profound."

Depends what you mean by obedient, an obedient adult is one that has at least understood the consequences of his actions.

> mfw no prettyboy straight/bi /lit/ friend
FUCK

This isn't the most profound but it pertains to the thread, and it has the most implications; Omnia vanitas – it can go any which way. People here talk about happiness and sadness, but none are objective. Both are the case, it is your choice. Pessimism and optimism are choices. In spite of the greatest sorrows and heights of pleasure, it can go any which way. It's a little hard to explain.

>>16589441
Not true. A child needs to be taught and socialized so it can act morally as an adult. "Obedience" in that sense is always praised.

There is something in the heart of those who have greatly suffered in their childhood, a dull flame,
something that others simply cannot see or grasp. I've seen it times and times again.

>>16586125

It is necessary and morally correct to reject god even and especially in the case that hell exists and knowing that such rejection will condemn you to it.

I’m fucking your mom. Every day.

>>16589563
that's a cool intellectual exercise tbhon. logically you are correct.

>>16589563
Because it would be immoral to embrace god for the sole reason that it grants you entry into heaven and is therefore necessarily selfish?

your prose is effortlessly great. you write short stories? >>16589559

>>16589583
not just that, but immoral to sincerely love an entity that damns eternally those who don't.

>>16589607
Thanks anon, that means a lot to me.

>>16589164
that interpretation works with the fish anon tho. except the fish one is more universal cuz it applies to non-humans

whatever gave rise to reason had to have had no reason to do so.

there is a thing that gives rise to things (or at least a thing, reason) without reason.

it is the ultimate god we can -reasonably, heheh- know of, and it is blind (without reason)

>>16589610
Who are we to claim we understand god's motivations and choices, though?
It is my conception that I am to god what an earthworm is to me. Can the earthworm understand me? No, he cannot. Therefore I will not be presomptuous enough to claim I can understand why god punishes those who do not follow him.

Most profound thought I've ever had was probably something to do with reading about synchronicity which is a concept many authors discuss. Basically all the events in the world are connected which means that of course, since you are a part of the world, everything that you personally experience is like a little part of the whole interconnectedness which is constantly working towards an end, but is only revealed to you (the individual) in little glimpses during your life because of your limited perspective.

And there is a pitfall where many people start to realize this, and then see synchronicities everywhere they look even where there aren't any profound mechanisms going on, for example a clock is run by many gears working in cohort, but it would be futile to study the movings of only one of these gears without taking a wider perspective and viewing the whole clock. You could never understand the workings of the clock by looking at the movements of only one of its gears.

The concept made me see other things in a new light and allowed me to understand historical events (and persons). Normal people don't think about this so they react only with irrational emotions, they are like being tossed about by elemental forces. But it is possible to "rise above" those elemental forces in a way, just through pure knowledge of how the world works, you do not actually need to submit yourself to events that are outside of your control like the stoics think that you do. That's probably my most profound thought because it ties into a whole worldview and opens up for many subsequent profound thoughts, building from that.

>>16586603
Believing in “meaningless coincidences” is begging the question

Christian missionaries saved Africa. There was an opportunity for Africans to gain citizenship in the new world of they showed themselves capable of good hard work, making them eligible to be among the children of God according to the Puritan / Protestants in the colonies. The history of work rendered and slaves made free men, baptized and given a space to participate as citizens of the new word is a story that may never be heard so I am just throwing it out there. Sometimes certain truths make other truths inappropriate, and while racism exists people will continue to learn the narrative of blacks being dehumanized as they are today, which is good. But the story of those good Christian families, who saw in African men and women brought overseas a chance at redemption and a new world of God, will always remain inappropriate in a world that refuses to live outside single narrative structured historicism. I take consolation that perhaps the community they created for themselves was paradise enough without the need to be remembered in memory. I think about all those who must have found paradise on earth, so much so that they left their tombstones unmarked, and took what they found with them together where ever their souls returned. We shall meet again, but not yet. Not yet. (Que Gladiator soundtrack, fade out of Juba’s smiling face)

I basically came up with the Perennial philosophy before I'd ever heard of it being a thing.
You might feel that it was disheartening to realise that it wasn't an original thought, but I realised in that moment that the process of coming across the same truth through other means proved perennialism in itself.

The only thing that's truly sad is that he probably thinks a good criterion to decide if you deserve such a wholesome afterlife is what you do with your penis

>>16586822
>some fish decided
Except that's not how evolution works anon, nobody "decided" anything. Fish didn't want to walk at all. It's more like this: an handicapped fish is born with stuff that looks like legs and some sort of amphibian capacities. All other fishes think he's fucking weird and so he's exiled on land because nobody wants to fuck him and he's constantly horny. Luckily, on land, he finds out other fishes have been born randomly mutated and handicapped like him, so he fucks them and passes on his handicaps. Turns out those handicaps sort of work on land, for completely random reasons. And so on and so forth until you get organized societies of naked monkeys with oversized brains

>>16586125
How important walking is for the sake of walking. I firmly believe walking is as essential as sleeping to humans for both mental and physical health. You should walk for at least an hour a day whether it's a city stroll or a rough terrain hike, just do some walking. There is nothing wrong with exercises like running or lifting, but I think just walking for a prolonged period of time wil give you a lot of benefits which can not be gained with any other activity.

>>16586125
It does not matter what is true, it only matters what is most useful to believe

His philosophy is directly trying to think of the world from outside perception, basically ditch phenomenology and arguing for a strange logic positivism. He argues that rational rules exsist outside human minds and that human consciousness is only a bridge but this is a machine were caught in, eternal icey wave. Read universal black essay.

>>16589779
he's very liberal in a good sense, cares so much about good deeds and positive impact one makes rather than one's vices and mistakes. he's one of the most down-to-earthly virtuous men i know. he's a foreigner obviously (minority-catholic country, and he's not from one of the catholic neighbours but from another continent) but loves this homely shithole so dearly few locals do

Heroin and Meth met on the spoon
One was sticky, the other like glass
Boiled into one another like food
All sucked up in the syringe at last
Mr Belt tied the knot like a big balloon
Soaring high until everything passed
And together did two say I do I do
Until Arm took what shoots in the ass
By the stream did it run like a typhoon
Until all heirs stood as blades of grass
And mind and body was all consumed
Diamonds are cheap, small and crass
Compar’d to thy sweet fruit of a loom

>>16587076
The way we interpret life as a kid is very interesting.
I was about 6-7 years old and obsessed with Ocarina of Time, and it occurred to me that if I didn't want to play anymore I could save and quite, but that I couldn't do that with real life, I was never able to "reload", so to speak and also if I died I couldn't just continue from my last save.
So I basically learned about mortality and consciousness from comparing life to a video game.

Most people don't believe in God because it's more convenient. It gives them the "free pass" from all the rules. But never did they actually dive into their religion and see what it's all about.

I came to realize this about myself in the beginning of the quarantine, and when I did dive into my faith it was so beautiful I cried. 7 months later I've never been happier. My life is on track, I've reconnected with friends and family, and focused more on who I am above everything else. And I implore you to just try it. What's there to lose.

Trying "move --> think --> see" doubled my productivity and creativity. It also helped my mental health greatly.

one day i got really high, and i went into the bathroom because i wanted to enjoy a warm bath while high, and my cat came into the bathroom with me, and he looked at me with half closed eyes, and i suddenly became keenly aware of our distant relation. the thought came to me that this tiny, furry creature is in fact related to me by blood, though the connection is millions of years in the past. one day, long ago, his fathers and my fathers were brothers. it was an awareness that overpowered me, and filled me with a feeling of love to all living things in our world. except insects, fuck those things

Straight up. There’s a verse in the Quran that says one of the Meccans was suspicious of the existence of God on account of cockroaches.

You obviously need someone to go over it with you. It’s literally the most perfect book ever. I say that as a book lover. It’s absolutely a miracle if ever there was one. Once you get even a taste of what it’s doing you will realize it’s beyond any piece of art ever. Nothing even comes close. And not just that, the history of how it came, and then the aftermath of the prophet from Medina to Mecca to infinity. It’s a marvel

>your most profound thought?
here's one:
you should expect to be immortal

>what?
assume that there's a finite number of mortals
and only one immortal
without knowing which one you are,
which one should you expect to be?

the immortal

>why?
one immortal has an infinite number of observations
a finite number of mortals have a finite number of observations
almost all existing observations belong to the immortal
if you perform an observation,
that observation almost certainly belongs to the immortal

but that observation also belongs to you,
so you should expect to be immortal

>does this work if the observation is not from the year infinity AD?
yes.
even if an observation from the year infinity AD is chosen
every prior observation that belongs to the same set
("set" as in observer)
would also be carried along
the immortal's early life (the year 2020AD) would be actualized
even if the randomly chosen observation is from the year infinity AD

TLDR:
you should expect to be immortal

What's the cereal pill anons?

If the universe is defined as “all there is”, it must be infinite. If the universe were not infinite, then it would be banded about by nothing; but if something is banded about by nothing, it is infinite. So a non-infinite universe is a self-contradiction. Things like the “three torus model” of the universe (pic related) are literally nonsensical, because it is being claimed that the space in the middle of the “donut” does not exist, that it is nothing, and so it should be deleted from the picture entirely. The universe is necessarily infinite.

I am a fucking skin slaying stone throwing zealous medieval executioner on behalf of the religion of perfect works of art, which the Quran is at the apex, followed by the complete works of Plato, Ovids Metamorphosis, and Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream. Fuck around and find out

The day i realised i was not sad, i was just envious. All this years, and all this sadness was just envy for people who have better lifes and had better experiences than me. Guys who got a regular development, got girls, jobs etc. I thought i was sad and lonely, but i was just an envious bitch all along.

Private epiphanies during certain experiences will always give you greater wisdom and truth than listening to or reading words.

The greatest tragedy of humanity is our inability to really learn from other's mistakes. Just endless cycles of people making the mistakes their elders warned them about, then trying desperately to warn the youth when they become elders themselves. I've seen it happen in my own lifetime with lessons my father has taught me, and I've even foolishly thought to myself "I'll make sure MY son doesn't make the same mistakes." Tragic.

>>16590776
There is nothing tragic about it. The real tragedy of this is the inability of people to understand how futile words really are if they are not reinforced by authority of the speaker.

>>16590783
>There is nothing tragic about it.
You don't think it's tragic? How much of humanity has been wasted by people figuring out things for themselves that have already been figured out?

I guess a better way to word it would be: "It's tragic that for most of humankind the only way to learn from and internalize an experience is for it to happen to you."

Jesus did that with his apostles. Don't God is personal

>>16590809
Are you an idealist or dumb?

>>16590798
The reason for that happening is because elders do not invest themselves in the young, the young grow up looking at elders as obsolete, useless and stupid. I was never apathetic to anything my grandfather said, it is a purely Western problem.

I respect my dad more than anyone, as I've gotten older he's even confessed that he was a little disappointed in me that I always listened to him when he told me not to sneak out, party, etc. He expected me to rebel a bit more, like my brothers.

I'm talking less about civic duty and responsibility (as I think you are), and more along the lines "Son, don't stress so much about your high school relationship, you're not going to end up married," and then I proceeded to spend a year pouring myself into what was a pretty dumb relationship where we fought a lot. I thought I knew better for really no reason, and it's that kind of thing that so many people go through that bums me out.

>>16590842
Well, honestly his advice was pretty bad. Relationships that start from high school have the greatest potential to last for life and turn into "true" love and a more compatible couple. Also I meant both the civic advice and the kind of advice you disregarded. Issue with the latter is that sometimes, often even, elders don't know jack shit about life, they grow up as "NPCs" and have close to zero good life advice to give, I know my dad is such a person.

>>16590776
I agree. One of my greatest regrets is not getting into a sport when I was young, or continuing to play an instrument. Telling a child that they need to persevere and develop a work ethnic doesn't work, you need to be there beside them making them go and do these things when they don't want to, because kids are dumb and short sighted

Good to admit that you are an envious bitch anon keep up the good work kiddo

Sorry was having private epiphanies didn’t read lmao

>>16590926
No you didn't, you just replied to people whose thoughts you didn't like, and then did not give a single "profound thought" yourself. Here's a thought for you: the inability to allow people to enjoy things and hold their own thoughts is evidence of a deep-seated depression and lack of empathy. Further, an inability or lack of desire to help others learn is another sign of inhumanness.

>No you didn't, you just replied to people whose thoughts you didn't like
wrong, i replied both to the posts I liked as well as those I didnt like
>and then did not give a single "profound thought" yourself
heres one, just for you "whereof one cannot speak, one must remain silent"
>Here's a thought for you: the inability to allow people to enjoy things and hold their own thoughts is evidence of a deep-seated depression and lack of empathy
Nice, but I don't get how thats "for me", I'm not preventing anyone from enjoying their own thoughts
>Further, an inability or lack of desire to help others learn is another sign of inhumanness.
This does not apply to me either, as I literally gave people reading reccomendations, meaning I do have desire for them to learn.

>>16590980
Most of your replies gave under 3/10, your highest was a 5, and you gave a ?/10 as well. Even if you did reply to some you liked, the majority you clearly disliked.

>>16590908
>no
it's meant to be a hypothetical to help you understand
reality isn't as clean cut as that
in reality there would be a normal distribution of observations-per-observer
and the cumulative would follow the corresponding normal power law
but the conclusion still holds when you do the math
since almost all observations belong to a minority of observers
just ask yourself why you're you in this technological era
rather than some nigger in the jungle from a thousand years ago
the math says you should expect a priori to be immortal

>>16586593

I smoked an entire marijuana once and hallucinated that I was every being and creature in the universe that ever existed. Even though billions of people live concurrently I only experience the living of one life at a time. I deduced that we are all connected as one and after I've finished subjectively experiencing every life the singular soul linking us all together will be perfected in it's comprehension of one another and the universe.

>>16591521

Consciousness (and by extension the sense of self) is emergent from many small processes in the brain, which can be explained without God, much like many solid grains of sand can act as a fluid in large quantities, only in the case of the brain the amount of small processes is simply too large to comprehend intuitively.

Allow that the same could be said about physics in general. If it could be proven, then there need not be an existence of any sort of God.

>>16591583
...or you could just simplify it and call it God, you fedora wearing fuckhead.

God suffers more than any person.

Everything I've ever witnessed or thought about is true and real FOR ME and everybody saying something else can go fuck themselves. This applies to every single person. People who doubt reality doubt themselves and how can you doubt your own doubt? If your own doubt or own pain isn't real for you then you don't have doubts or pain. If literally nothing is real to you have no self and you basically become an unconscious animal, a single cell.

We can't ever come up with new ideas out of nothing, we can only rearrange what we've already encountered.

if the distribution of observers is such that the number of observers gets cut in half for every extra observation made, then yes there would be one immortal
if you cut infinity by half over and over, you can still retain at least one observer forever.

Go to /sci/ and ask about high dimensional topology. While most scientists believe our perceivable universe is part of a much larger structure, ultimately the total structure contains itself.

>>16592310
I always hated this take. There's only ten digits in mathematics, too. There're only three colours in a picture. The entire universe is reducible to a handful of simple values, but it still arranges itself in new and incredible ways. It's like you're saying every painting is worthless because they were all created with a brush.

>Consciousness is emergent
if you mean qualia, then there is no model for how qualia emerges or is even necessary. there simply is no causal link that we know of. introducing god doesnt solve the question but there still is a question.
>>16591604
stop tradlarping. if the meaning of "god" is so far removed from the things we usually mean by it, then theres no reason to keep calling it god. a blind process thats responsible for everything, or is everything, doesnt really match up with "god" cuz theres usually an implication that intent or intelligence is involved.
