It depends what you mean by stupid. Monogamy selects for traits like being nice, loyal, content etc., while polygamy selects for dominance, looks, (possibly smarts). Some may even say this is deteriorating western culture lol. From natures perspective you could argue that the best specimen should reproduce unhindered and all the other men should be monogamous and raise the children of their women (even if they are not their own). Monogamy is just the only sensible mating system in our current society. Polygamy is really only ethical, if we can ensure that everybody gets to fuck (otherwise were back to survival of the fittest again).

Its obvious that you dont give a shit about a girl you have known for one day. If you really care about monogamy, or at least want to give it a serious shot, you just have to bite the bullet of getting to know each other, going out, doing activities together etc. I wouldnt even put that on a limited capacity to love; its as with everything - the more time you spend with it, the better it gets, the more time you want to spend with it. Its just a pain in the ass to get to the point at which the relationship will be meaningful enough to justify it.

Lol pls dont tell me you were the guy recording that Daniel Schmachtenberger disstrack.

For somebody who watches so much Schmachtenberger, your confidence intervals suck balls man

Lach.

Plot twist: the pedophile Leo hung out with was actually Michael Jackson.

I appreciate it, maybe something science/philosophy related, but I definitely don't have the same passion for mysticism, or whatever you would call it, that you have.

"Tantra" by Feuerstein or various books by Santa Gamana, but they kind of suck balls.

I've read books with 100s of pages talking about Shiva and Shakti and all that crap, but you actually made it come to life in a few paragraphs (and you're always so enthusiastic, which is awesome). You should become a teacher or something, that would suit you so well

That's not what philosophy is to me. If it doesn't change the way you experience reality, and is in turn influenced by your experience of reality, it ain't philosophy.

I love philosophy as well and I don't want to rob you of your joy for philosophy, but wouldn't it be cool, if you actually could experience the things you are speculating about? There is still plenty of room for philosophy and new ideas, but just speculating about something from an armchair position is not really philosophy in the first place.

You are inquiring into these things daily, what exactly do you wish to achieve with that? If you're not serious, you are just wasting your time, in which case you should rather focus on getting laid or whatever you are ready to handle at this point.

You are speculating that there is no one behind your mother's eyes, but that isn't really true. The consciousness of your mother is the same consciousness of you and you can look into her eyes and recognize that. You wouldn't say there is no one there, unless you had some kind of Neoadvaitaesque worldview (or you didn't know what the fuck you were talking about).

Ok I see your point now. I guess you could just call it xenophobia instead of racism (although I'm not fully convinced that there is no such thing as racism).

You are behind her eyes. You are behind everything. How ironic is it that you evoke some stupid no-self philosophy in your own thread warning against that precise philosophy

Protecting your ingroup and fighting your outgroup on the basis of appearances (as is the case with these monkeys). That's pretty much what racism means. I don't know the statistics, but I bet if you were to control for cultural differences somehow, you would still find significantly higher rivalry between people of different skin color.

It's still fun though. If you go out with your friends and you all have great fun, the last thing you will think about is whether they are real or not. It simply doesn't matter.

Long before humans existed, monkeys were grabbing each others children as a meat shield to cover their own ass. They didn't know who's kid was who, but they could pick their rivals kid out of a group with very high accuracy, all based on their limited sensory input (which is predominantly visual). All that is to say that these dynamics predate any meaningful notion of "culture."

"I" is the ultimate strange loop and the best pointer to infinity.

Don't be silly. What difference does it make? You can still connect with humans all the same and potentially way deeper than you could have ever dreamed of.

Yeah, I got the message. My kneejerk reaction is to fit everything into my worldview, but I realise that is precisely not the point here lol.

Great movie as well.

Its fine. I am kinda bullshittin, but it would be nice now and then to just have a normal conversation with you lol.

I can see the intelligence in it, but it still messes with my head

It's impossible to communicate with you in good faith. You just flip the script however it fits you (for better of for worse, I'm not sure).
