  1. Western Philosophy is underrated. Hume, Spinoza and even Kant all knew something... Kant talked about the Self that couldnt be experienced but that experienced the self. Sound familiar? and Schopenhauer loved the Upanishads! transcendental ego (plural transcendental egos) (philosophy, phenomenology, Kantianism) The conscious self which is the unifying subject of a person's experiences and which cannot itself be experienced as an object, understood by Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) as knowable only by inference, and understood by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) as pure consciousness.quotations ▼
  2. https://knowledgenuts.com/2013/09/29/descartes-dissected-his-wifes-dog-to-prove-a-point/ Descartes was probably Red/Blue. Many psychopaths learn to hurt animals before they hurt people. (Im aware of historical context, dont @ me)
  3. What Ben doesnt realize is that if he turned off his emotions completely he would walk out in traffic, get hit by a car and die, what does he think fear is? A rational thought? Lmao.
  4. The mods are building his new harem outside Las Vegas, there he will have his polygamous marriage ceremony.
  5. Leo is on a date. When he comes back law and order will be in full effect.
  6. I thought he had been sick, how did he have time and energy to write a book.
  7. "Soon I'll have the courage to leave my thoughts behind, I'll give back all the knowledge and keep the wisdom precious in my mind."
  8. My religious studies teacher (in high-school) had 5 minute meditation sessions every time we started class too! Thats where it all started! Omg. Sounds like a guy that would be instantly fired in any university here. High School here means Gymnasium, its education from around 17 to 19 years old. I dont have a good word for it because our education system is different from in the US.
  9. These ones have taught me alot! Very pleasant and engaged narrator. Theres everything from Popper to Feyerabend here.
  10. No. Im studying up on grades that I failed when I was around 18-19, lol. Its like "adult school". @Shin Lets hope it stays that way...
  11. Yes, Im incarnated as Leo 2.0, this is the year 3000, we made it through climate change and Kanyes presidency, you can rest easy tonight.
  12. Yeah of course! But how it actually works, like physically, mechanistically.
  13. I dont understand why its so preposterous to imagine heavenly bodies impact personalities, the moon influences womens menstrual cycle so why couldnt something else influence personality. Everything is connected. I do think we need a more rigorous science of astrology which I think will come in the future, right now its kind of waffly, when Stage Green becomes a majority value system astrology will become as normal as math. Edit: Apparently we dont know if the moon affects your period. I still think there is something to astrology though, Im not attached to it though, I believe personalities should be allowed to be flexible, be whoever the fuck you want to be and not what some horoscope says.
  14. But youre Jesus, command thy keyboard!

  18. The sines are usually the dangerous ones.
