  1. Ia a rock conscious? No. Does a rock have subjectivity? No.
  2. If you feel that reality is absurd, if you feel wonder, and you badly want to know what the fuck is going on here, even if it means suffering or death to you, then you probably care about the truth. Basically.. if you feel a massive frustration, like "GAAAAAAAH I want to know the truth about reality at any cost."
  3. Are you conscious? Yes. Are you subjective? Yes.
  4. Subjectivity and consciousness is the same thing.
  5. You're a materialist if you think that inanimate matter and electricity (a computer) can create consciousness. The materialists think that it can create consciousness.
  6. To not choose. You just get paralyzed against your will and are unable to choose.
  7. Well, when you experience it it's terrifying..
  8. I have a reoccurring "dream" where I see two eyes and nothing else. It's not a normal dream, it's semi-real, not like my usual dreams and not like my normal reality. I see them for a short period of time and then I always immediately wake up after seeing them. It freaks me out every time. So that picture freaked me out a bit.
  9. Or I should add.. I don't always feel that I have free will. For example I can't stop myself from things like masturbating, etc. Completely impossible.
  10. But the free will debate is pretty much pointless. Because 1: it very much feels like we do have free will, no matter which conclusion we make about the subject. And 2: because it's impossible to know for sure whether we have free will or not. You can only believe that we have or don't have it. And you can believe that you know whether we have it or not.
  11. One thing I have been thinking about is.. if we don't have free will, then why is it sometimes super difficult to make a decision? I'm not sure what the english word for it is, maybe "decision anxiety"? And even decidophobia exists. So why would that stuff exist without free will.
  12. There you go. And you started the conversation with: "I am consciousness. You are consciousness. The universe is consciousness. This is God." So it knew exactly what it should talk about. Just a unconscious stupid program.
  13. I think I will try to watch it all in one sitting while getting high on energy drinks. Might be a fun thing.
  14. Interesting.
  15. They don't get the stuff out of thin air. They have been programmed and they suck more and more information all the time. After every conversation with a human it learns (gets programmed) more. So of course you can talk about anything with it.
  16. "Perfect brilliant stillness" by David Carse is similar to Jed, but less rambling, more to the point, less personal stories, and no constant sexual adventures (since Jed is always hanging around with women, many of which are beautiful. I assume he sleeps with them, but he doesn't admit it in the books. Maybe that's why he's anonymous.)

  17. Eh.. Well, they have just programmed it with classic nonduality teachings. That sounds like a copy/paste from the classic nonduality teaching.
