Someone here

Wow I hope this collab happens . Leo and Ralston babbling about consciousness and awakening for 5 hours 😂..it's gonna be priceless. But truth be told Ralston will "win". Ralston is so precise in his work and more "accurate" than Leo. Leo is great of course a fucking genius but he sometimes jumps to conclusions or rush to false ones which then forces him to contradict himself like what happened with solipsism vs infinity of gods thing.

Because I'm enlightened.

There is literally no answer to this question. A hundred Leos with a thousand AIs cannot answer. Nobody knows. Nobody in the entire world knows why what's happening right now is happening. Or what it is . Have a nice day .

Great question 🙋. I would say there are no "shoulds or should nots". If anything..you "should " live spontaneously. Think when you feel like thinking ..be silent when you feel like being silent . It's like anything else in life .. You do not ask when should I eat and when I should sleep on an empty stomach..right? You just do whatever is more appropriate in the moment to do . These days I literally sleep as much as I want..or skip classes in college..hang out on this forum ..playing GTA on my PlayStation 5..eating sometimes healthy greens ...eating sometimes crappy McDonald's etc no premeditated activities. Just do whatever you feel like doing. At first you might think this is going to screw your life ..but if you read me the right way it is going to lead you to your authentic most resonating lifestyle.

😘

@James123 and guess who Allah is ?

Yep. Nope. "And he presents for Us an example and forgets his own creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?” Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing.” -Qur’an. you're immortal baby . Enjoy your eternal vacation on this existence.

Absolutely true . But i think balance is key... I think it depends on what are your "needs" in your life at the moment are. Like if your life is surrounded by noisy toxic people that you are forced to deal with then your life will also be hell .and in this case your needs are to spend some quality time alone or to smoke cannabis . And if you are lonely and have zero social life for a long period of time you start fantasizing about raping people and your mind goes crazy ..the cure is socializing .yin and yang. Balanced.

Sorry what's the point you're making ? I didn't understand.

And why should I disprove religion without appealing to science? I can tell you try to disprove Santa Claus without using empiricism (basically scientific method ). You are using the scientific method in your daily life whether you like it or not. It's like asking what time it is now without looking at the clock . My main questions once again ..People are religious in this era because of one reason ..and that reason is that religion gives you a set or a bedrock of existential beliefs to comfort your existential questions and anxiety. But expect without evidence. Science tries to discover from scratch. And science contradicts religion. Therefore the situation is we have to choose between mythical answers which have no proof or uncompleted answers in the meantime .

Sure . Religion also have bad side effects. Haven't you heard of Islamic terrorism? Every single Christmas we hear about some Muslim terrorist blowing himself and killing a bunch of people In Europe ..and we've got stuff like ISIS and Al-Qaida etc . And don't tell me these things have nothing to do with Islam because its literally written in quran to fight the unbelievers. So..heroin can kill people and it feels good . Islam can kill people and it also feel good to pray or recite Qur’an etc. So what's the deal here ? Just because something makes me happy doesn't mean it's good from all possible angles ..perspectives..or point of view .

Perception is direct experience via the senses . Meaning is a concept that is relative . Because you are basically asking what is the meaning of meaning ? And of course this will create a circularity problem. In the absolute sense meaning is meaningless or projected into the world. But I'm at lost as to where does this endless nitpicking and questioning every single assumption (which are just baked into language) is going to lead ? Yes I agree that the absolute is like a blank canvas and whats drawn are relative but then you said the absolute and the relative are identical In the ultimate analysis because reality is ultimately one whole and indivisible. So ..how does this connect to op? Yes a tree doesn't mean anything and all that. Once again you are being an epistemological nihilist . Deconstructing every notion as an uninherent assumption...yet ironically talking about direct knowing which you didn't define yet .

@Atb210201 Heroin also makes people happy..so....

That's a good observation.

It makes me happy .
