Maybe if you weren't hiding/resisting(?), you wouldn't mind my questions at all -- you could see them as the playful challenges that they are to explore. But nope, "not your cup of tea" -- your identity is (apparently) too serious for that. Lots of people like to stay intoxicated with their beloved brew.

Indeed it is, although participation is not an absolute requirement.

But in order to perform the perfect dance, one must move along side ones partner in sync, not keep stepping on their toes.

I guess I'm just a sucker for perfection, simply because that's what I am.

Well, then all makes sense.

Once everything was about nothing, deleting it is coherent.

Nothingness is the absence of everything.

As usual, Bill is right.

Moderators want us to be better philosophers and wander about nihilism, not only rationally but also empirically.

If you had quoted Me correctly, then others would notice that I said the 'everything' quote was about nothing IMPORTANT REALLY.

I did NOT say it the way that you are alluding to here.

The only thing worth learning is the unlearning of the things learnt.

What will be will be.

You have no control over what happens.

You cannot out run the speed of happening. Stay as you are, and wait and see. The magic will appear when it's ready to appear and not before.

.

The magic can only appear when you are open to seeing it. If and when you stopping holding onto beliefs like dontaskme does, only then the 'magic' is ready to and WILL appear. Like I said before, I am about to give 'you' the greatest surprise of your life.

ken wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 10:52 pmdontaskme, some of us are NOT "crying over spilt milk". We are just curious as to WHY the thread was deleted.

Everything that makes up you is being deleted every nano second. The you that you think you are now is only kept alive by the dead memory which is then revived by dead knowledge of the dead memory itself. It's a trickless trick, and the joke is on you.

Who is the joke on?

I am the One who is able to explain and clarify what it is that dontaskme is trying to explain here.

Nothing important really is nothing again. Philosophically speaking, a thread on nothing should have the title empty. Once it didn't, negating it by deletion is a nice exercise of philosophical nihilism as I said, so that we can train both rationally and empirically.

Was there a thread at all? Or are we yielding to false senses? Maybe you can only justify your belief solipsistically with your memories, but memory is tricky and subject to the influence of evil geniuses. This is a good start.

Dontaskme speaks (and projects) from behind a mirror that she refuses to be reflected in. When it suits her, she DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. From there she can control and hide and pretend... seemingly oblivious to the comedy.

Strong minds discuss ideas;
average minds discuss events;
weak minds discuss people.

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

So, Walker, why are you repeating MY response as if your comment applies specifically to me, when there are all kinds of conversations (and projections in this thread from DAM) that are personal "about people"? Just trying to take a swipe at ME, are ya? Hmmm.

Yes, he seems to be discussing you. Mmmm.

It's an idea.

But if the shoe fits, Cinderella.

Weak. You directed it at me. Put the shoe on your own damned foot.

That comment was unnecessary, Walker, your weak mindedness has already been established.

Chuckles. Must have touched a nerve, foot or brain.
