But if one does something for money that they would normally not do if there were no money to be had, then one is doing that thing out of greed. Thinking of a way in which humanity might be served AS A MEANS of serving one's self.
This would have to be so. Reality would have to be independent from individual perspective.
Or, take the other approach. Reality IS dependent on individual perspective. This would indicate that illusion is inseparable from reality.
I completely agree!
Thing is, I don't build much of a coherent reality to begin with. The one I have built (which ensures that I survive to see the next day, allowing me to eat and not be murdered), would result in my complete unhinging as a member of society if I were to deconstruct it. That's...
Yes, I think it is a very necessary and GOOD question. I'm just not smart enough to answer it. I don't know what it means to feel. Feelings may just be a biological impetus for us to support our fellow tribe. They could embody some deeper, more abstract purpose. I don't know.
I think you raise a very fundamental question about the validity of perception. Those of us who place less emphasis on emotions are bound to be seen by others as cold, distant, detached, and therefore weird. In the eyes of those more emotionally inclined, those who are less so are seen to have a...

They seem to know stuff without knowing much about it.
Everyone is dispensable.
If we measure dispensability in terms of how we serve humanity at large, then none of us are exempt from that label. Because at best, we are simply serving other dispensable people.
This harkens back to the eternal question; what validates a life? I don't think there is...
The temperature in my bedroom can range (I estimate) anywhere between 50F - 85F, but for the most part is well in between. This is because all that I have in my room to moderate temperature is a small baseboard heater and a small portable fan. Also, where I live the winters are cold and the...
At first, yes, temperature can make it difficult to get comfortable. After a while though, with the aid of fans or blankets, I can find an acceptable degree of temperature comfort to relax and drift off to sleep.
In the cold winter I find it harder to crawl out of bed (which seems to be common...
Ahahahahaha....
I don't think I could/would ever dance in public. I don't know if I would ever dance with just one other person I was comfortable with. Who said that embarrassment does not = pain? I guess it depends on what you mean by pain. I've done embarrassing things in my life I kick myself...
LOL INTPs...
people are right handed because that's the hand you swing a sword with. the left hand was used to hold a shield, protecting the left side of your chest where ur heart is. Eggheads think it all has to do with writing...
Obnoxious idiot... sounds a lot like a cousin of mine. He would solicit people do do various things with him (going clubbing, to a bar, Wal-mart, gay club/bar, whathaveyou) and could not take "no" for an answer. I would either have to beat him over the head with my lack of desire to go - or...
This isn't really an idiom, but I noticed a lot of people (at least around here) say, "I could care less". Really what they mean is "I couldn't care less."
I don't bother to correct this.
I used to have this problem too. My early school years I would feel really upset and want to cry any time a teacher would take a stern tone with me. In some ways I feel like I may have overcompensated, because now I have a propensity to be quote callous and detached from others and situations...
I tend to know how a person is feeling most of the time. The issue is with caring about how they're feeling. I have a tendency to believe that most displays of emotion are calculated attempts to manipulate me into a certain course of action, so I willfully ignore it.
Yeah, Christmas fuckin blows. I actually despise Thanksgiving even more, though. I really don't understand that holiday. Just what America needs is a holiday centered around eating as much as you possibly can and then some. It's disgusting.
Worst of all though is the obligation about seeing your...
A lot of dislike here for those who believe some things are done by more than one person.
It's almost as though some of you think it inconceivable that 2 or more people would ever work together in order to deceive or exploit others. How can this be anything short of naive?
I can only imagine that people with very low dexterity or fat fingers would have trouble with a QWERTY setup (which requires more finger movement because they common letters are scattered about).
