I believe that the decision to break addiction and the effort required to do so is a sign of mental strength, however the addiction itself will have if anything weakened your mental strength through chemicals and poor levels of activity.

ANDROID :borg0:

best: being imaginative worst: poor at socialising

I would see life less in terms of its biological definition and more in terms of what it is like to be alive. It is to have a mind, to have a body, and for that body to do things in a way which the mind is comprehending. Though, I guess that would mean that we are dead when we are asleep. :confused:

"This looks like a cupboard... maybe it's actually - a fridge! Nope, it's a cupboard. This looks like the last cupboard... maybe it is actually a fridge! Nope, another cupboard. Geez, what are the odds of that? C'mon fridge, I know you're in there... I know you're in there somewhere...

well accept it and live it that is the key

Thanks for that.

What if there really is a quick fix in life and one day I will realise that life actually is enjoyable and that it's just that I had a mental illness for most of my life which makes it seem that life is bland when in fact it is not. What if I would do those things which I seem to remember...

Y...es? Everything is weird!!! Weird weird weird :kodama1:

Sinny's Shenanigans the title of this thread is now "Sinny's Shenanigans".

I think whoever made the universe had a choice between quantity and quality of creation and they went with quantity because there's lots of stuff and life is kinda dull. I hope I wake up tomorrow and something cool happens, that would be cool.

haha, ya weirdo :p

And it probably was for fuck's sake, ya bastard!!! :cthulhu: -- I tagged up a primary school and wasted the past few years of my life.

For fuck's sake, Cognisant!!!

I was speculating on the possibility that due to some kind of distortion in spacetime at very long distances, its possible that a far away galaxy that we see is actually structured totally differently in that actual galaxy, i.e. not only that there is a millions of years lag in what we see, but...

I SACRIFICED CHILDREN IN A SATANIC RITUAL :twisteddevil:

I thought it was very well made, but lacking in a certain something. 7/10

You ARE really weird! Everyone here is weird. Except for the people here who aren't weird. Those people are weird.

I wonder... from a different galaxy, does our galaxy look completely different? I reckon that if earth was zoomed in enough from a really, really far location, it would look super trippy like a glitched video game - like, a telescope in a room in the middle of a mountain, and all kind of...

That Athenian education list looks good. I would teach meditation.

Actually, it doesn't necessarily require that but that's a similar principle. It works in a more differential fashion, i.e. in that moment A + X = moment B where X is some choice. I've also considered that if the zero-sum game is dangerous, then this theory that all increases at some rate could...

today: pizza!

ok cool, we're on the same page then :D

I'll often mumble the words so that it's pretty much impossible to hear what I said, but I don't think I've ever really just frozen like that? I have a lot of difficulty making conversation in general. I find a lot of the time one person will talk, and everything I think of to say I won't say...

That doesn't sound inherently true, because it still sounds right in theory that someone could be either neutral or negative eV against you. What you say does sound right, but I'm not totally convinced. Like, what if the opponent decides to check back whenever they have the nuts, or something...

Helvete already refuted this, but as another example, say your unexploitable strategy assumes that the opponent is going to be betting mainly value hands, but instead they bluff 50% of the time - then bluff-catching would be +eV when it should be neutral. (basically there's all sorts of ways...

Root: under-active (-25%) Sacral: under-active (-25%) Navel: under-active (-38%) Heart: open (6%) Throat: open (6%) Third Eye: open (44%) Crown: open (12%) My highest two used to be Heart and Crown. Apparently my Third Eye has opened since then. :cat:

Time is the way in which being attains change, and eternity is the collection of all being. Time and space are perceived from the perspective of the agent, reality is intertwined relatively. Nothingness is the supreme truth, the companion of existence. Pain and suffering are the...

Destroy values according to which values? I guess an alternative which still includes shoulds would be to ethically reason without referencing any fixed values, and only holds these implicitly. Regarding the particular issue, like you mentioned that this relates to, stay true to who you are and...

A flea's life is not pointless to a flea, Stars in far away galaxies, are all but pointless to me.

If you're making friends with someone, chances are you already have common ground to begin with, so the chances of them being the same or similar type are higher.

I had similar utopic thoughts, around the time I was about 13 or so. By that time I had begun thinking of all sorts of philosophical questions such as if there is free will, what is good, what is real, and of course how to best run a society. I think I identified with some form of socialism, and...

hi! :)

I guess, as an idealist, I see the dichotomy as pretty much theoretical. Still though, it has the potential to shape my behaviour.

I would say that idealism is the attempt to interact with reality based on an internally held vision, whereas realism would deal directly with the world around based on how it is.

Well, it could be that sticking to your way of doing things is conducive to some other goal, perhaps a feeling of self-satisfaction in knowing that you are doing things according to your own beliefs. My own view of morality, at least currently, is semi-nihilistic, in that it asserts that most...

Then what is the ultimate basis for choosing one choice over another? Is there ultimately nothing, and it just comes down to a sequence of choices done because the agent felt like doing them, with no ultimate measuring stick for determining whether the choice was, err, well chosen, or not? So...

So is it a feeling then, just a reaction to a particular action, such as a feeling of disgust? Or is it like, wrong means "should not be done" and "should" just means "in this circumstance, do this" and whereas usually it would be said "do this to achieve X", we could then follow a chain of...

I just mentioned the argumentation bit since it felt like things would start to go around in circles if I didn't. So, what is your understanding of the terms right and wrong (and/or good and bad/evil)? And given that you make decisions based on your subjective opinion anyway, why do you see...

pfft, fuck that, everyone's a special snowflake nowadays

Can you really make decisions from only an "objective" viewpoint? What is the ultimate standard by which you decide something - wouldn't it ultimately come down to something subjective? Like "well, this is right according to this society, this is right according to this other person, and this...

Yes, everyone is right from their own perspective, that doesn't mean that some perspectives aren't better than others. Whether it is a good way of judging past actions, the past can be learnt from, and the global perspective can be a good way to look at things when making decisions.

Then that still implies that there is right and wrong...

Then in that case the race being attacked would be in the right for fighting back. Maybe if you said "the other race has enough foodstock for them both but won't share" then you could say the party attacking was in the right. (Though, in that case you would think the ones with the food would...

I have a new theory: The goodness of a state of existence never diminishes, so that however good something is, it never gets worse, so the future is always better than the present, and the past always worse. This is based on all things being good, and the present containing all past. This is...

Well, who started the war in LotR? I know very little of the story. I've only seen the movies and don't really remember them. If the orcs went around looking for trouble and starting wars... then it makes sense to fight back as self defense. Whoever was fighting because they were forced to...

I finished the test (so I thought) then told me I missed questions and tried to make me answer 3/4 of the test again... nope I would have scored either INFJ or INFP.

I think just change the N into an S in your type code and that will be the most tolerable S type for you. \(o.O)/

Not necessarily... sort of. See, we humans were created from the Earth and Sun. Now, these entities are more powerful than us, but we are the ones with what we know as "intelligence". It evolved. Likewise, humans, through harnessing greater powers and knowledge of evolution, could...

I have the unfortunate tendency to compare myself against others in terms of inherent worth, like - who is more intelligent, who has more inherent "potential"? It's ultimately an unanswerable question and probably just gets in the way of actually being the best that one can be. In Jungian...
