it's all autism over Being. You can say there's some ground floor or whatever but if human history is anything to go by we can't make heads or tails of what that is.

THE GUMMIES ARE JUST GOING TO ACT OUT THEIR GENETIC PROGRAM

2018-01-17 19:32:15 UTC  

WHO IS "WE"?

2018-01-17 19:32:18 UTC  

SOME CAN

2018-01-17 19:32:22 UTC  

THE OTHERS INJECT CHAOS

2018-01-17 19:32:24 UTC  

You and I

2018-01-17 19:32:27 UTC  

TO TRY TO JUSTIFY THEIR OWN DESIRES

2018-01-17 19:32:38 UTC  

I DO NOT THINK WE ARE THAT DIVIDED, OR THAT LOST

2018-01-17 19:32:48 UTC  

KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE IS A REASON RELIGION IS WRITTEN IN METAPHOR

WE ARE NOTICING FORMS AND TENDENCIES OVER TIME, NOT TANGIBLE OBJECTS IN THE MOMENT

2018-01-17 19:39:24 UTC  

all you have to work with are representations made from a thin trickle of sensory data.

2018-01-17 19:39:42 UTC  

this is fine for navigating

2018-01-17 19:39:48 UTC  

but beyond that

2018-01-17 19:42:22 UTC  

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ MANY THINGS MUST REMAIN MYSTERIES

2018-01-17 19:42:26 UTC  

THAT IS NOT PROBLEMATIC IN ITSELF

2018-01-17 19:42:35 UTC  

AFTER ALL, WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND THEM ANYWAY

2018-01-17 19:42:42 UTC  

DUNNING-KRUGER IS ALSO AN UPPER LIMIT ON THE HUMAN SPECIES

2018-01-17 19:45:50 UTC  

we are boat in a storm that has a little spot light at the front of it that let's us see the waves crash into each other and maybe a water spout in the distance we might want to avoid.

2018-01-17 19:46:12 UTC  

blah blah Dionysus

2018-01-17 19:46:17 UTC  

WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO SEE PATTERNS IN THE WAVES

2018-01-17 19:46:17 UTC  

Blah blah Apollo

2018-01-17 19:46:30 UTC  

THIS IS NOT A LIFE ALONE IN A VOID OF DATA

2018-01-17 19:46:34 UTC  

WE ARE IN FACT AWASH IN IT

2018-01-17 19:46:38 UTC  

THE QUESTION IS PATTERN RECOGNITION

2018-01-17 19:53:02 UTC  

I honestly don't even know what we are talking about at this point

2018-01-17 19:53:46 UTC  

that's why I left the conversation

2018-01-17 19:53:55 UTC  

I was looking at pants on amazon instead, at least that is remotely helpful to my life

2018-01-17 19:58:07 UTC  

We started talking about attitudes and the contents of books but our abstractions grew tentacles of their own and slithered into murky Eldritch swamps

2018-01-17 20:09:45 UTC  

NOT AT ALL

2018-01-17 20:09:47 UTC  

WE ARE STILL ON TOPIC

2018-01-17 20:09:51 UTC  

WE ARE DISCUSSING GERMAN IDEALISM

2018-01-17 20:10:38 UTC  

TRUE NATURE OF HIPPIES REVEALED

Schopenhauer took the middle way. He critiqued Berkeley and Hegel and the materialists

2018-01-17 20:17:04 UTC  

and materialism/idealism are just two autistically extreme polarities that only exist because folk western people decided on a mind/body divide. From there you get spirit and matter and away we go.

2018-01-17 20:19:59 UTC  

NOT IN THE SCHOPENHAUERIAN VIEW

2018-01-17 20:20:01 UTC  

OR THE KANTIAN

2018-01-17 20:20:08 UTC  

THE DIVIDE IS NOT BODY/MIND BUT CAUSE/EFFECT

2018-01-17 20:20:11 UTC  

WITH BOTH BEING IMPORTANT

2018-01-17 20:20:14 UTC  

SCHOPENHAUER MAKES THIS CLEAR
