Ought we be thankful for wisdom(being mentally experienced in some set of all sets)? Probably the highest kind of self sense.
Is it a good virtue?
Is it sanity?
Is it intellectual judgement?
I think it's important to be thankful if you want to achieve overall success.
You can either respect or disrespect, metaphorically particiles capture and collide. This allows you to respect, or disrespect. The more you respect a moment the more within it's time frequency you are, the less respect you have, the less likely you are to cause a major shift.
If you want to show respect, you're thankful, this is just an experienced answer, and skillful use of mind.
Is thankful above love? Are we thankful more so during love?
Why are so many people religious then? Are they -secretly -thankful? — Qwex
I personally am very bitter. — Douglas Alan
Thank you for sparing us the typical online bullshit trying to show virtue that many people like to spew out. — christian2017
In order to explain all the bad shit that happens in the world, Leibnitz's explanation is that this is the best of all possible worlds, even if it contains a lot of badness. I.e., it just can't get any better than this.
Well, if this is the best of all possible worlds, then it seems better not to exist at all!
Unless, of course, modal realism is true. Because if it is, then if you didn't exist, you'd just exist in an infinite number of even worse worlds.
Actually, if Leibnitz was right and modal realism is true, you do exist in an infinite number of even worse worlds. And this is just the best of all the infinite versions of your sorry existences, where all the other infinite versions of you are suffering even more. — Douglas Alan
I stubbed my toe yesterday and it really hurt.
How does one give upvotes and downvotes on this crazy forum? I want to upvote you but I can't. What is a forum these days if you can't create a hive-mind that will downvote all dissent into oblivion?
Well, just another reason to be bitter, I suppose.

It's all the rage on Reddit, which many people would consider to be the Internet these days. Well, that and Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.I didn't even know that was a feature on any forum. — christian2017

But thank your blessings that we live in the best of all possible worlds! — Douglas Alan
So where does one find out more about this mysterious party? Google hasn't heard of it. Twitter hasn't heard of it. Duck Duck Go hasn't heard of it....I was a whole lot more miserable until i joined that political party. — christian2017

Its kind of like Fight Club (the movie). We don't fight each other but there are lots of fight clubs. — christian2017
So, I need to be invited to a special Discord chat, or something?
I'm never going to convert to Christianity, sorry. Perhaps Zen, but that's mostly just ancient wisdom for how not to go crazy and how to treat people decently. Or at least the parts of it that I care about are. — Douglas Alan
Thanks for the offer of scripture, but no thanks. As for ending it all in what would be perceived as an accident, I prefer to just tell myself, I can always jump off a bridge tomorrow. There's no rush to get it done today. #Tomorrow_Not_Today
As for finding contentment, I'm hard at work on that. It can be a challenge, however. Especially when people who told you that you would always be "my best friend and greatest love", make a bee line for the exit when you hit a rough patch.
But when life gives you lemons, buy a shotgun and use them for target practice.

I'm thankful for coffee. — Banno
Just a piece of advice, because alot of guys like relatively thin women, find a women who loves to lift weights. — christian2017
The problem with this is that she'll want a guy who loves to lift weights. And I prefer to sit in front of this infernal computer and debate inane topics on the Internets. — Douglas Alan
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
