Because sometimes you don't want to be too rational. Rationality unchecked deconstructs meaning and purpose, hence why existential nihilism and unhinged hedonism becomes a problem at Orange. Orange work ethic tends to be a slave to hedonistic pleasures, exploitative corporate success, material wealth and social validation (status, sex, drugs and money). There is a lack of higher-order purpose, of morality, of giving back to the community.

A less dogmatic and more rational version.

Orange developmental outlier stuck in majority Red age bracket ?

So his argument is that because there is regularity to how experience unfolds ("the scientific method works"), therefore experience is produced by a separate substance called matter? *sigh*

Seems like you're very eager to explain why that is.

Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's easy.

Sensations are real. Thoughts are real. This is not a problem. The problem is not being aware of pain as sensation and suffering as thought.

Read the guidelines.

Is a Norwegian soldier the same as a Taliban soldier?

You want meaningful movement.

Suffering is just a thought.

You're confusing happiness with stagnation. Life is movement. Stagnation sucks the life out of you.

Art is an example of "analog communication" as opposed to "digital communication". A picture is worth a thousand words.

Yeah I'm pretty divided on it. I like the authenticity as a general trait, but he often expects way too much from the other person. Though I think he has realized that he needs to be more smart about it in the future.

which is a statement that is not compatible with ontological materialism, hence we've finally reached consensus.

Bernardo Kastrup calls this mental dissociation (from his ontological framework of analytical idealism), which is the creation of individualized mental perspectives (the experience of being tied to a particular identity, localized in time and space). In other words, it's not that the substance of mind did not exist before biological organisms, but it's rather that the bubbles of dissociation wouldn't have formed yet. Dissociation is also just a byproduct of form (differences). You can experience formless reality through meditation where your bubble is no longer defined, which is an indication that mind exists beyond form, beyond time and space, beyond your bubble. You can also look to dissociative identity disorder, which is where Kastrup got the idea from, where one's perception of self and reality can get severely altered: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/could-multiple-personality-disorder-explain-life-the-universe-and-everything/

If matter is defined as that which is not mind, then by definition, no. If you instead define it as an aspect of mind, then sure.

Is Jordan Peterson Green then? Just kidding

Again, I'm using the ontological definition of matter: "The word matter is derived from the Latin word materia, meaning "wood", or “timber”, in the sense "material", as distinct from "mind" or "form".[1]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_matter The idealist position is that once you have experience (mind/form), you don't need to invent a new substance called matter for things to exist, because experience is existence. I experience Sam - he exists. This is getting circular.

Do you know about any Green online figures?

You were confusing the concept of form and matter, and I pointed out the distinction. I didn't mean to say that matter exists.

We already went over this as well. The materialist says "material stuff is not mind stuff" and vice versa. It's true that so-called material stuff and mind stuff are used to refer to different types of phenomenological experiences (e.g. seeing a table vs. thinking about a table; the former being a so-called experience of matter, the latter an experience of mind), but from an idealist's perspective, these experiences are made out of the same fundamental substance, namely experience itself, or mind, qualia, consciousness etc.

We already went over this.
