Trump and his Imps don't share your hippy sentiments. They will fuck you. If you stop calling the devil out on his bullshit he will fuck you and the world harder. If you were in the jungle, you would let a jaguar slaughter you with this attitude. We're all one man, let the jaguar have some lunch!

It can be a biochemical issue. When I occasionally struggle with depression / no motivation I have vitamin deficiencies. Get a blood test if you haven't recently.

Well, if you ever discover such a universe please let me know. But you will never find it because what you are cannot exist in it. There can be no humans in a universe without death.

You're welcome to grow wings and fly whenever you like.

How would you create a universe without death? Seriously think about it, what would you have to change in the universe? How could you do it without affecting other aspects of reality in a massive way? It's a mistake to personify God, like it picks and chooses what it wants to create. God is not a being, God is a system. And God doesn't use workarounds or avoid certain results within it's system.

You wouldn't be able to have everything else you enjoy without survival and death. Reality is like a house of cards. You can't just take away one aspect you don't like and expect everything else to stay the same. For example, without survival and death humans would never have evolved the ability to taste their food. So, if you enjoy the experience of eating, you have survival and death to thank. Death is a necessary component in order for the universe to exist at all. You don't question why Mars exists, or why birds have wings. We fear death because we are biologically programmed to.

That would create thousands of jobs too. Genius!

There is the most unhinged Call of Duty ad 7 minutes in. I nearly fell out of my chair I laughed so hard. I can't believe Joe is completely clueless as to how dangerous having these fascists and conspiracy theorists on his show is.

True in theory. Not in practice. Lots of groups get special treatment. That's why class, race and gender are political issues. Communities compete for special treatment. LGBT people deserve special treatment insofar that they need it to meet their basic human needs. LGBT people using classic gendered bathrooms can be dangerous and unsafe for them. Therefore it is reasonable for LGBT people to use separate bathrooms within reason.

Most trans people I know are not comfortable using either gender bathroom. They prefer using a disabled or other gender neutral bathroom that's non communal (one person at a time inside). As long as that is reasonably available they're happy.

Yes! Put it literally. Humans have never invented anything. We can only discover what God has already made possible within the rules of the game.

I am both the pieces and the construction. My nature is both relative and absolute. I am dual because I am made of many things. Even if I couldn't consciously grasp numbers, their existence potential is absolute. You live within God's mind. What is real is not at all based on what our little human minds can or cannot distinguish. So, I guess we agree to disagree here.

Sure. I thought you meant relative like a perspective. Everything is constructed, from smaller and smaller pieces that would go on forever if you looked. 1 = 1.000000000000000000... Distinction does not have substance. It's beyond that - it's like a mathematical law. Distinction is what makes numbers different. Distinction is the relationship between pieces. All pieces are different, so all pieces are distinct. The sense of time is constructed from many pieces. This is the only metaphysical thing I know for sure.

Women like guys who meet their needs. Guys like women who meet their needs. Not just material needs, in relationships it's mostly emotional.

Christians and Jesus, whats the deal?

Whenever I think of Marvel movies I think of Ben and Jerry's because of one throwaway joke in Avengers. Marketing works.

Agreed. I'm obviously not trying to justify war. I was illustrating a 'history is written by the victors' point.

Because they threaten me. But when my country does the terrorizing at 100x the scale, I turn a blind eye. One rule for me, another rule for thee.

The piece of shit who wins a war goes home a hero.

There are no ethics. In war, one does whatever they can get away with in. It's a fight to the death with millions of lives at stake.

If Solipsism is true then the concept of relative doesn't make sense. Your distinctions are just true in themselves. If other minds exist, then yes all of your distinctions will be different than someone else's. The same distinction can never made twice. (See Heraclitus river quote) Have you ever experienced the same moment twice? Is that possible? Distinction does not have substance. And its not nothing. It's consciousness that's changing. Consciousness that is dual - not uniform.

Yes. A ≠ B. Everything is not nothing. That nature is a categorization. A conceptual boundary you draw around your paradigm of distinction. Raw distinction is something more fundamental. @UnbornTao Yes I see truth in that. Distinction is very fundamental.

What do you think are the best video games? I've been playing Silent Hill 2 remake and it's pretty great. I love these horror exploration games. RE2 and RE4 remakes were awesome too. I am not super interested in personal taste, I want to know what you think are the best crafted on a design level. My top five gotta look something like: 5. Doom 2016 4. Slay the spire 3. Resident Evil 4 2. Subnautica 1. Sekiro I love a short and sweet game.

We got quite the discussion going! Love this. My little theory would suggest reality is made of infinitely small points of Quilums that exist across infinite dimensions. Like TV static, these Quilums tune into gestalt patterns of emergence which create form. Concsciousness and physical reality exist in the same quilum space. All quilums are both connected and distinct. Connected in that their collective states can influence each other and create gestalt form, distinct because no two quilums are the same. I actually do claim this. If you can draw distinctions, then there is a way to define each side of the distinction. Therefore there exists a point of difference you can identify. I don't claim space and time are necessary. That's a materialist mistake. That's just one possible dimension of expression. Every distinction is distinct too 😁 It depends how you frame it. If you sum all distinctions together you get oneness. Whatever you draw a distinction around is a 'thing'. And that drawing is conceptual. Within that drawing are infinitely more smaller distinctions. Which we summarize in order to create the higher conceptual 'thing'.

How so? I don't know what you mean by qualium. And I do want to go all radical. It's not truth seeking if we half ass it.
