• Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    Oh, he would be removed. And so would they. If by force if necessary.

    Of course he has to act within accordance of the constitution. If he didn't he's be removed from office. But precedence has power over any document. It's about what people will accept. And the Donald is making an effort to get us to accept things we shouldn't.

    He said he has total authority, though. He is very deluded.
  • The Principle of Universal Perception
    The problem is in the precept that all that can be known is what is perceived. There is a real subconscious world we have as yet only had the faintest inkling of.

    And what is the physical, anyway? Science is at a loss. We simply have misplaced faith that these men we worship will figure it all out. But the truth is I could claim everything is a metaphysical phantasm. Only the dullness of familiarity convinces us otherwise.
  • Riddle of idealism
    Part of the joy of life is the attempt to verbalize our thoughts in such a way that others can see the deeper meaning of our words. There is security in knowing it will never be so. What is yours is yours and mine, mine.

    The joy is in the proof that other individuals exist, and we celebrate those who prove, through poetry, that we have our own. We are all valuable.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    It was really disturbing to hear Trump speak recently of total authority. Obviously a deadly precedent.
  • Time Paradox
    Two worlds have collided.
  • Time Paradox
    The universe is a gold record, eternal. The mind is the needle which makes the music.
  • Having "Nice" Things to Say
    It's still a compliment pertaining to themselves. A person isn't just a thought.
  • Can nothingness have power or time not exist?
    There is no conceivable way of truly understanding language. It is too dynamic of a thing. To get to its roots would consist almost entirely of conjecture.
  • Can nothingness have power or time not exist?
    Action relies on the existence of time that has beginnings and ends, but the overarching dimension of time is eternal.
  • False Awakening & Unknowable Reality
    There is no understanding true reality. True reality is experienced. It isn't verbalized, as anyone who has ever attempted to describe what it was like can profess. It is felt and experienced, but, for reasons that should be obvious, can't be understood.
  • Thoughts on defining evil
    Evil is not a force. It is abject human stupidity.
  • Are all philosophers insane?
    There's no way to get everything right when the ultimate truth is ineffable.
  • Is strict objectivity theoretically possible?
    There's no way it's possible. Not really. We have five frail senses. All we can know is that "something" exists. We can't discern what that something is. I believe in an objective reality, but from a human perspective we know very little about it.
  • Is strict objectivity theoretically possible?


    I can't verify firsthand that your subjective experience of English is the same as my own. The backbone of your statement is that it must be objectively true that we're communicating, but one could doubt even this. Neither does the fact that I'm using what I believe to be English tell me anything about what English actually is. I'm certainly not objective about it; I'm tied in to my own experience of it.
  • Is strict objectivity theoretically possible?
    Objective truths can only be subjectively known. You can be aware of something that is real, but you have to be honest in what you know about it. You can perceive the world, but no one knows what light is, or how the brain works.

    It is impossible to be objective. No one knows.
