Okay.
For the discussion of all things philosophical.

Okay.
What find very humoros to observe is when people say things like: I have no intention of answering personal questions., but then, hypocritically, do the EXACT OPPOSITE.
If you are totally satisfied with your life, and have no desire to change the world or others and are thoroughly enjoying your life of learning, experience, and achievement and have no desire toward others but a benevolent desire for them to enjoy their lives as you do yours, I'm happy for you. That's the kind of life I enjoy, a dangerous exhilarating adventure of discovery and achievement, sharing my joy with those I love, thoroughly fulfilled and without a single regret.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 8:25 amWhatever you insisted is 'wrong' is only 'wrong' relative to your screwed-up ignorant views.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 7:06 pm What I Don't Believe

If you keep your views to yourself, that is no issue, but the fact that you make it public is a concern as it may influence others to their detriments.
The point is certain views may be viewed as wrong or not-true relative to some framework and system of knowledge but they can be or the only recourse for the majority to extract the necessary utilities to keep them alive optimally.
For example, the claims of theism cannot be real nor true relative say to science, but theism has great utilities to the majority is a state where they must be theists to facilitate their well being in their present state.
Point is theism has its pros and cons and a considerate human being will weigh the pros and cons according and recommend the course of right and corrective actions as necessary.
I am a reasonable expert in Eastern Philosophy and is aware it is as, even more sophisticated than Western Philosophy and had contributed greatly to the progress of humanity in the Eastern World and now influencing the Western World as well.
It has its cons which need to be filtered so that we can keep the pros that are optimal to the current and future conditions.
Note this tool from Buddhism, how can it be wrong or bad?
Buddhism's 4NT-8FP is a Life Problem Solving Technique.

Buddhism promotes the Middle-Way which implied for all those 'ism' you rejected as wrong, you [and everyone] must be rational and pragmatic to extract whatever is good and reject that which is potentially evil.
You need to expand your vista of knowledge and learn how to weigh the pros and cons of each field of knowledge.
You failed to differentiate between a hypothetical question and a personal one? But if your error entertains you, giggle away!Age wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 12:31 pmWhat find very humoros to observe is when people say things like: I have no intention of answering personal questions., but then, hypocritically, do the EXACT OPPOSITE.

Perhaps you are beginning to discover that the human intellect is severely lacking? It's not that you don't believe, it's that you can't believe.
What, "duality?" There is only one existence, one, "everything," one reality. That reality consists of innumerable entities.

Who's talking about science?simplicity wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:05 pm Your science is not going to help you with the great questions of existence [life and death] and really, not much else, as well].
An ontological fact? This is your system of thought.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:44 pm
The fact that there is only one real existence is an ontological fact, not a scientific one.
Wouldn't that be nice. If you took all the bullshit out of science, you wouldn't have much of anything left.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:44 pm Science only studies those aspects of existence which are directly perceived, that is, seen, hear, felt, smelled, and tasted.
Life and death are at the heart of every discussion.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:44 pm When did life and death become part of the discussion? You seem to have trouble following a thread of thought.
There is nothing special about life, itself. There is no virtue in the perpetuation of protoplasm. Life is not an end in itself, it is the means to being all one can be as a human being, learning, working, producing, and achieving all own can, a life of endless adventure, discovery, and enjoyment, without regret and totally fulfilled.simplicity wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 5:33 pm Is there anything more precious to human beings than life; anything more terrifying than death?
To suggest that there is nothing special about life is to be in tremendous denial of the miracle of life itself.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sun Sep 12, 2021 6:24 pm There is nothing special about life, itself...Death holds no terror for those who know what life is.

Perhaps you will feel differently when you begin the process of morphing into a new form.
