  • Truth is a pathless land.
    pathless land means:
    There is a land with no paths.
    So the truth is land itself. Truth isn't moving anywhere in is just there. In the land.
    — One here

    Truth is in landfill?

    Horizons are a broad land?
  • Truth is a pathless land.
    Sorry for being blunt, I just fucking hate it when people end questions with "no?"
  • Truth is a pathless land.
    If all lost together then not alone, no? — Janus

    No.
  • Truth is a pathless land.
    Why would pathlessness entail lone climbing? — Janus

    Because there are no paths, and everyone is lost.

    I don't think there's much of a philosophical connection but there are similarities in appearance and especially their voices.

  • Defining Good And Evil
    ↪Devans99
    Your definition is evilly narrow, and actually evil in itself as it denies many other forms of evil.
  • Defining Good And Evil
    ↪Devans99
    Can you stop trying to define me please. When you judge me, you do not define me, you merely define yourself.

    I can't speak on behalf of Good, though...
  • Truth is a pathless land.

    Yeah known about him for many years. I used to listen to the 'Freedom from the Known' dialogues with David Bohm, in which they were talking about 'truth' being distinct from 'reality'. Apparently we live in reality but not truth.

    They said reality cannot reach truth and the twain can only meet in a one-sided movement where truth visits reality from the 'ground of being'. Or something like that...

    If "Truth is a pathless land" why would it necessarily be on a mountain-top?

  • Thoughts, feelings, actions = who you are?
    It's the kind of daring thinking we can engage in now and then, and then we return to ordinary functioning where the 'I' or thinker is roughly understand as fundamental in the context of the roughly conceived non-I, also fundamental — macrosoft

    You're describing the fall

  • Evidence of Consciousness Surviving the Body
    This is probably one of the longest surviving threads, I remember it existed back on philosophyforums.com . Good ol' Sam26. I can't say for sure there is evidence of 'consciousness' but you can bet this thread will still be around after the demise of the collective body.

  • Going from stupid to well-read, what essential classics would get a person there fastest?
    Generally, I would say that a good stock of magic is the best defence against the stupidities of philosophy, of which there are many, and philosophy is the best defence against the stupidities of religion and politics, of which there are also many. — unenlightened

    What is the best defence against the stupidities of science?
