Your ideal of "One True Self" sounds mystical to me, based on mysticism.
Well the 'ism' in 'your' 'mysticism' means HOLDING a VERY PARTICULAR VIEW, so that if and when you are LOOKING AT or HEARING my IDEA of thee 'One True Self', based on 'mysticism' ALONE, then 'that IDEA' WILL OF COURSE 'sound' MYSTICAL, to 'you'.

This is typical of the liberal-left and their all-inclusive mentality.
And what you are SAYING here is typical of ones who MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS, and who do NOT OBTAIN FULL CLARIFICATION, FIRST, based on OPENNESS.

"
We are all One!" No
We are not. You are not me. I am not you.
That is VERY CERTAIN. The word 'I' CERTAINLY DOES NOT PERTAIN TO 'you'. Which MEANS that 'you' are CERTAINLY NOT 'I'.
So, 'I' am VERY GLAD that 'you' AND 'I' BOTH AGREE ON and ACCEPT 'this Fact.

There is very little you and I have in common at all.
WELL CONSIDERING the Fact that 'you' have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA NOR CLUE as to WHO and WHAT 'I' AM, EXACTLY, then what 'you' SAY and ALLEGE here STANDS TO REASON.

When it comes to self, as I mentioned, it mostly revolves around selective-bias.
Which IS EXACTLY what 'you', adult human beings, DID, in the days when this was being written. That is; BE VERY SELECTIVE and VERY BIASED in regards to 'your' OWN personal views on 'things'.
Wizard22 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 8:06 am
Most of these are sub-conscious. People subconsciously identify with things it values and deems as Good, misidentifies with things it does not value and deems as Bad/Evil.
Yes, 'that' IS EXACTLY what 'you', and 'you' "OTHER" adult human beings, DO, in the days when this was being written.
As 'you' ARE CLEARLY SHOWING and PROVING True here, for 'us', "wizard22".

This is how people identify with groups. Or taken to the absolute limit, as with autistic minds (Age), the need and compulsion to identify with EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE, they mystical, magical, God, "One". Hence why you brought in the term, "One True Self".
Okay. If 'you' SAY SO, then 'it' MUST BE SO, correct?

My intent? My intention is philosophical, to investigate and inquire into all matters of existence, especially the politically incorrect, and all other human deficiencies/blindspots/weaknesses.
Which 'you', "wizard22", ARE, REMARKABLY, ABLE TO OVERCOME, and so HAVE ABSOLUTELY NONE OF, right?
Wizard22 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 8:06 am
Why are there individuals?
'individual' to WHO and/or WHAT, EXACTLY?
And, IN ACTUALITY, or just IN CONCEPT ONLY?
Also, and as "attofishpi" writes; WITH-in (I) divide/u/all, FOR VERY SPECIFIC and PARTICULAR REASONS.

I guess, that Life has vanity installed into it by genetics.
OF WHICH 'you' ARE SHOWING 'us' here, "wizard22", WHEN 'you' MAKE CLAIMS like; 'your' INTENTION IS to INVESTIGATE and INQUIRE in ALL matter of existence, BUT ESPECIALLY SO to the POLITICALLY INCORRECT views that ONLY "others" HAVE, (when those views are of the OPPOSITE "side" or 'position' OF "YOURS', and INTO ALL of the OTHER human deficiencies, which 'you' VERY VAINLY CLAIM 'you' have ABSOLUTELY NONE OF.

Dawkins called it the "Selfish Gene", correct?
'What' IS 'it' here, EXACTLY, which some human being may or may not have called the 'selfish gene'?
'What' 'you' ARE SHOWING and PROVING here?
Also, WHY ask 'me'?
AND, genes are ONLY SELFISH in REGARDS to A species and NOT IN REGARDS TO just ONE INDIVIDUAL OF A species, OBVIOUSLY.
Also, genes are ONLY SELFISH in REGARDS TO ACTUAL 'NEEDS', and NEVER in REGARDS TO 'WANTS'. For example, like the countless, completely UNNECESSARY 'WANTS' that 'you', adult human beings, have 'grown up' WANTING, in the days when this is being written.

There is a need organisms have to Divide, and thus Individuate.
Okay, So 'this' MEANS that ANY talk OF 'unity' is just ABSOLUTELY False, Wrong, AND Incorrect, and therefore just MYSTICAL ONLY, right?
Wizard22 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 8:06 am
This is required in biology, obvious among mammals, as infants and children cannot remain dependent upon their mother for long.
Have 'you' ACTUALLY LOOKED AT and OBSERVED for HOW LONG some of 'you', adult human beings, in the days when this is being written, ACTUALLY WANT to LIVE WITH, LIVE FROM, and/or LIVE ON 'their' "mothers" FOR, EXACTLY?

They must be weaned-off the breast milk, and fast, before they are caught and eaten by Apex Predators.
WHO and/or WHAT are these so-called "apex predators", EXACTLY, that, SUPPOSEDLY, PREY on human babies who have NOT YET been QUICKLY weaned-off breast milk, in the days when this is being written?
Wizard22 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 8:06 am
The same instincts are true in Hominids. Thus there is a need to individuate (from the birth mother, to gain independence).
Were 'you' UNDER some sort of ILLUSION that the named and known 'thing' as a 'birth mother' was somehow the EXACT SAME 'thing' as the 'thing' that 'it' gave birth to?
If 'you' WERE NOT, then WHY SAY such a 'things' as 'this' here?
ABSOLUTELY NO one that I KNOW OF anyway EVER even thought such a 'thing' as 'this'. Let alone has SAID 'it' NOR WRITTEN about 'it' ANYWHERE I KNOW OF.
Wizard22 wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 8:06 am
This should be common-sense. Are you really claiming that you don't know this, Age? Are you faking as though this is unknown to you?
Here we HAVE ANOTHER ONE who completely and utterly TWISTS and DISTORTS 'the words' it READS, and/or JUST SEES, AROUND, AND THEN PROCEEDS to go ON FROM 'its' OWN MADE UP ASSUMPTIONS and/or CONCLUSIONS.
ONCE AGAIN, I WILL suggest ACTUAL and FULL CLARITY IS SORT, BEFORE ANY ACTUAL ASSUMPTION OR CONCLUSION IS EVER DREAMED UP, LET ALONE thought NOR BELIEVED to be true.
If you JUST DID 'this' INSTEAD, then 'you' will NOT BE SO WRONG, SO OFTEN, and 'you' WILL ALSO STAY ON TRACK of what the "other" IS ACTUALLY SAYING, and MEANING.
