You are very smart. I bet you were the 'answerman' at the pub.
I started acting dumb.
And found a measure of peace.
My friends baited me. Come'on what the capital of Mongolia or who was Kant.?

I joined a group.. the Hegelian scum.
everything changed.
a rock is here because we have defined it as being here. but we are also just a product of our own perceived and defined existence.
I see life in terms of dreams. where do the characters and buildings in our dreams come from? they seem so real and yet they disappear as soon as we change our reference point from the dream to the perceived awakened state, nothing exists other tha the energy we perceive of as sub atomic particles yet we assume it is all a real physical presence even though our awareness of it takes place only in the small part of what we perceive of as our brain.

WRONG!! Any matter, by any other name, or conceptualization, predates mans ability to do so, as all matter is born of the universe. Man is the effect, not the causal. It would seem you love self fellation.

No, rather some have brains that are constipated, as they try and use human concepts, to disprove human concepts. Fortunately, their non sequitur logic, of viscous circle, illuminates their inabilities, all too clearly.

No good at acting but I'm pretty dumb most of the time.

Not into the horror of transcendental idealism of mind, prefer Phenomenology so Husserl and Merleau-Ponty are my kind of scum.

Sounds like Henry Miller to me.
He is a romantic, of course, that's why I love him.

Then sam is the eejit as I find no great conflict with Kant's ideas on Reason and Experience and Phenomenology(as I currently understand it), could be wrong tho'.

My complaint is that it is 3 times the size it needs to be for the ideas involved.
Then again im guilty of liking Nietzsche.
He was cool. As an aussie i'd love to crack a 'tinny' and gab with him.
