  • Is modern psychology flawed?
    respect your leeway, thought is a great gift. What you really want is someone to take control of you XD, shake you out of a malfunction.
  • What should religion do for us today?
    that's not good because you blemish a clear view with a word that would require more thought. The actual force - which may not be paying attention to you - would say 'stop calling me a name', 'be accurate and forethought.', etc. It's probably an asleep part of God that can possibly wake up that keeps everything together.
  • What should religion do for us today?
    Why Christ I thought our closest friend, and teacher, was our imagination? I can accept God but not Christ unless he is perfected. That's another man's imagination. His imaginary friend performance. You literally worship the author's joke.
  • Something out of nothing.
    We are too weak to discern what's not now.

    We have no idea what is not now so we're typo-typo agnostic intellectually, at most.

    You would have a down view on what's possible.

    You need to elaborate: It could be this thing, what is this thing, to have any knowledge on the matter.

    Does energy interact with us somehow? Then I theorize yes there can be massive affection. We are all linked.

    It's energy, it's most common representation, light.

    It's more like what light is than what the darkness is. These are strict laws. These are how stars are made.

    Nothing is state, it's just as easy for something to be present. They are both states. Why don't we argue that something existed? It's the answer.
  • Purpose in Existence
    Life has a purpose too but it is an array of things, why love when there are also haters? Universal strangeness implies solipsism, it really does, we talk about solipsism because of the chance it's possible. It also implies other things like love. The horse is not called love anyway.
  • Purpose in Existence
    Purpose is more like program or machine, in my opinion.
  • Something out of nothing.
    Bill, upon death, is still conceptualized by those who know him. He had existed. Death is that this existence must pass, and it becomes the past, metaphysically.

    Does this imply other existences?

    At least other an aspect.

    So as well as he is past universe existence, he is other, because we can't know if Bill is now not present...

    Bill is a concept he is out there somewhere. He probably is known or spotted by someone? He probably isn't heard by someone without paired eyes.

    Unless very important to impede delay I think you refresh in a sea of the dead, and become new life. That either paying debt or just significant enough to select a new life.
  • About This Word, “Atheist”
    Ey, stop flinging shit at each other.

    I think God is a poor way to word creator or higher power. It's not, exactly, a dictionary word. It's in the dictionary but it's conflated with religion. It's not the most mature way to deal with intelligent design or other intelligence external to the universe questions. It works, poorly. Lot's of waste discussion emerges.(et a Frank and DingoJones)

    The hearts of Christians are in the right place, the minds are not.
  • The problem of evil and free will


    What's the value of rationality to you?

    I rationalized most of the universe is focused on healthy progression, and I would rule anyone who is against it as evil.

    Am I the/a righteous judge?
  • The problem of evil and free will
    I think a judge is required.

    If you lived under me, you'd be good by my standard; you'd have privilage to be evil, under me, but my voice should ring in your head 'but that's not good, is it?'.

    You take my idea good.

    You take the ideal human's idea of good.

    In any case, there is no order lest there be justice.

    You CANNOT say something is good or evil, and it hold any logical weight, unless there is a judge.

    Perhaps because most of the universe is growing and focused on health, this points to the righteous judge. He/she would say, 'destroying the planet - that's not good, is it?'
  • Is consciousness located in the brain?
    Consciousness is located in the brain, but it's not all about it's locale. The heart puts consciousness in that position.

    I've held this belief for a long time, anyone care to change my mind?
  • The theory of one hallucination, me.
    Thanks for your kind input, hopefully we can discover a way to cure your discomfort.
  • The theory of one hallucination, me.
    I theorize that all hallucinations occur through interaction with a sensory suite.

    In essence, though a lot of hallucinations are maleficent, to a healthy mind, harnassing the power of visualization and other phenomena present in hallucinations, is potentially beneficent. Why not complement thought with something visual? What's the potential of a visualization capacity?

    An hallucination is often random, and users have no control; in an opposite sense, I hypothesize visualization and other phenomena can be controlled.

    I theorize hallucigenic control to require a sensory illusion; something static and consistent that senses can manipulate. This isn't a hallucination, but rather a shape we know that we can cordinate with, such as imagining you're in a cube.

    I'm now going to describe a 3D shape that I struggle to name. Imagine a shell of line-form that contains the human body; this shell can be many forms, so instead of a whole shell, I want you to imagine it micro-partially, such as by imagining just the part that's over your eyes. Now if you literally believe that you are contained in such a way, there is potential for balance and coordination using your sense of the imaginary shell. It's very hard to explain, so if there is any way you can advance your knowledge of this shape, do that. The shell I imagine is wild line-form, lot's of small lines contained by bigger lines, all projecting current.

    I can perform many movements that coordinate with the imaginary shell; moving my eye up can be thought to travel along part of the shell, and halting movement is suppresed by further shell sense.

    What I've described here is a sensory suite, infinite in nature(dies with the user if the universe is stable for that time). You can continue for the rest of your life with sense of an imaginary shell, it can even conflate with reality, given you can imagine an advanced enough shape.

    I think all hallucinations can be understood through this shape, it seems to be the only one of it's kind. When we hallucinate, is this unguided interaction with a containing sensory illusion? I think so, I have imagined this shape for over a decade, and all of It's properties(which I have explored), have that potential(such as it's depths, it's swirling power, and more).
  • The theory of one hallucination, me.
    Sure. I'll rewrite the thesis in a more formal format.
  • Informal Fallacies: Reification and the Naturalistic Fallacy
    Taking a minor good that's possibly majorly evil, the games I own that subjectively, I find good.

    There's no short supply of new games, good is increasing, but lone behold, the resource required for games to be produced is decreasing, and it may be required for humans to exist.

    The universe is expanding, increasing in matter and energy, some people find this good. There is what's achievable good, and what's not, per sey, survive unlimited games.

    Fuck it, this is my last attempt at good heat for a while. Sorry, it's a bit too much. It really annoys me how difficult this subject is.
  • Informal Fallacies: Reification and the Naturalistic Fallacy
    Defining good is surely an abstraction.

    Benefience, righteousness, virtue; there is a balance of all these involved in what's good.

    Yes, some beneficent things are good.

    No, not all beneficent things are good.

    Defining good as benefience, abstracts good; fact.

    It must need a new type of word, symbolic of it's wild nature.
  • On The Value of Debate
    Debate is largely for the judge and jury.

    Think of it as extrapolation as well as competition.

    Debate is like discussion, but more precise and characteristic.
  • Truth
    The rate at which truth can be injected is too harsh and can lead to this confusion"There are dinosaurs' - is true. It's true. Truth of the matter suggests.

    "It's true" can be used in any statement.

    Yes, it's true there were dinosaurs, but that's only I because you're highlighting it's truth value.
  • What is art?
    Using a tiny instrument is sometimes cruical to rhythm of instrument, such as two quick taps of a symbol, continuously over time lapse, or are all instruments not harmonious?

    If instruments are, then it's beneficent to focus on even the smallest unit of a beat.

    There is a way to make perfect music. Thus, people can make more appealing art.
  • About This Word, “Atheist”
    How much a mind can contain is also implied in terms of creation capacity. Why wouldn't the creator be something agile in a group, one mind of many? Why is it super powerful in terms of it's character and not it's agility being good? Something was like 'i know this is enough space, that's too much and then the consequence of a prior injection' if a creator did it and lived, per se.
  • The problem of evil and free will


    If you accidentally press the Send All Nuclear Warheads button, you might not be punished for your evil deed.

    However, the action is still evil.

    I don't think all evil is punishable; if contained, evil can complement good.

    Take teeth, they kill things to feed the user. They also are used to chew non-living food. However, I think, they show that some evil is okay.

    It's natural for evil to occur in universe conditions.

    The good phenomenon are super-massive and the chances of evil being too great are small.

    So animals have an element of moral freedom.
  • About This Word, “Atheist”
    We have no choice in birth, that is one reason to believe in a higher power.

    It also implies great mathematical ability, given the amount of births, and types of life.

    We do not know how the universe came about. There's lot's of creation going on in the universe, it's probable someone draws the link between creation and how the universe came to exist.

    God isn't the most scientific term to describe a higher power/creator, and Christianity is probably not the best way to go about worshipping it.

    I'm an Atheist, I rule out God, but I don't rule out higher powers or a creator.
  • It's OK to give up or not?
    One moment I'm suffering, another moment I'm that guy. One strange cycle. Not one imperfection on me. I fit any picture - perhaps a bit unphotogenic. My suffering is a bit different than yours, a graphical rape, inability to calm down - no alone time - solipsist hell. Again, if I wasn't beautiful I'd have given up through suicide already. Hence 'durability'.

    How durable are you if you don't mind me asking?
  • It's OK to give up or not?
    Yeah I am, it's strange how that works. I don't give up, but I have a very durable body.

    If I was in a lesser vessel, I would've topped myself a long time ago.
  • It's OK to give up or not?


    I actually can't wait for your suffering to end.

    You sound like a human who has suffered enough.

    There's a nice beautiful body waiting for you and an applause at 'heavens gates'. While the muffled laughter of the many sheep you burned fade away.
  • It's OK to give up or not?


    Why are some of us happy and comfortable then?

    Luck? Really?

    Yeah, you revert to a more normative state when you die after a life of suffering.

    Call it falling to hell, or picture it as you, right now, suffering. Up to you.
  • It's OK to give up or not?
    I mean, you might be being punished.

    I'm not telling you to give up, but I'll suggest, again, that you are in hell.

    For committing a life crime in a past life, perhaps.

    Suicidal thoughts are part of the package. Would you have preferred the flame?
  • It's OK to give up or not?
    Maybe you're meant to feel this way.

    Maybe giving up is the quick way out.
  • Flaw in Searle's Chinese Room Argument


    You're entitled to that belief, however, I wouldn't say it applied to this thread.
  • Anscombe's "Modern Moral Philosophy"


    8 doesn't complain after, 'all we were was a good performance'.
  • Flaw in Searle's Chinese Room Argument
    I agree.

    We are like machines.

    I'm not saying we're toys, but we're petty life that progressively gets smarter, or dumber. A machine can age quickly, and has greater half-life.

    I believe that natural machines exist.

    A natural machine can calculate who's focusing on me in their thoughts - an example of it's type of math.

    I think that "natural machines" collect data from the universe by using living things as a Turing Machine.

    I don't see the point in making self conscious or intelligent machines. I think beyond aethetics, it's a waste of time.

    It's probably more beneficent to make a good 'dumb-robot'. Such as one that expells fire and rolls really fast at a target it fixates on. It may become more effective than a human-like one weilding any weapon.
  • Anscombe's "Modern Moral Philosophy"
    If my objective is, goto Yeovil, going to London is immoral. I ought to keep on the roads which lead to Yeovil. Therefore, morality is.

    There is also subjective morality; I think my organism is doing a good job with my existence but that may not be good for others.

    Should we banish morality? No. We'll destablize.
  • Contributing to Society
    Powerful people may become mad at you if you are immoral.

    You don't really need to contribute, just don't annoy the wrong people.

    Will your lack of contribution hurt you? Nah.

    You're very insignificant. So you're right. No moral obligation to society. However, society and life are different; immoral actions here, may hurt you.
  • Anscombe's "Modern Moral Philosophy"


    Doesn't 'held' imply there is already a reason?

    I believe in God. Is just a statement.

    I hold a belief in God, surely refers to some sort of held weight.

    I think it's a semantical error resulting in a red herring.

    A belief without any reason is irrational belief.

    A held belief, without any reason, is not irrationally held. It's an irrational held belief. (This statement is errornous I know, but hopefully it shows you the semantical error).
  • Anscombe's "Modern Moral Philosophy"
    To hold a belief without any reason is to hold it irrationally

    I believe the cat is sat on the mat. My reason for such a belief is nil.

    It's not irrational or unreasonable - it's just an errornous statement.

    To continue to hold that belief, is pure stupidity.

    Banno is right by saying it's outside of rationality.
  • I am my highest authority, judge and guide. Who is yours?
    If I theorize something, what judge do I go by?

    There is no perfect judge. Evidence.

    What keeps my theorizing stable from start to end?

    Good morality (Otherwise my theory will become unstable).

    How do I know that the theory is sound at the end?

    My own good judgement; reasoning.

    How high is your authority? Is a good question.
  • Is modern psychology flawed?


    I'm not in contact with them, no.

    I will give them a try if I feel the need to discuss my treatment.

    I have an appointment with the psychiatrist tomorrow; I will be discussing coming off the medication.

    This thread was not a complaint, I was suggesting psychology/psychiatry could be improved.
  • a model of panpsychism with real mental causation
    Sense is layered onto the brain(?)

    Consciousness originates in the heart and simulates in the brain.

    The heartbeat can be traded for any external stimuli, where the brain hijacks all the hearts momentum.

    Thought, can be heart alone, or external stimulus.

    Things may be moving too fast to say one is more significant than the other. Consciousness is the hearts and the brains continuum.

    Perhaps not.

    I feel I am close but, no cigar, if you know what I mean haha.
