and sure we have complex experience of it

2018-03-03 11:56:31 UTC  

but ultimately

2018-03-03 11:56:35 UTC  

it is just experience

2018-03-03 11:56:38 UTC  

Nothing more

2018-03-03 11:57:16 UTC  

so we aren't seperate

2018-03-03 11:57:25 UTC  

me and you are the same thing

2018-03-03 11:57:32 UTC  

The same experience

2018-03-03 11:57:38 UTC  

Different brains with different data

2018-03-03 11:57:50 UTC  

but ultimately its an illusion we are seperate

2018-03-03 11:57:58 UTC  

Now thats just an experience

2018-03-03 11:58:14 UTC  

But a thought provoking one if nothing more

2018-03-03 11:58:43 UTC  

try to imagine experience without thought

2018-03-03 11:58:47 UTC  

Didn't Alan Watts say something like we are the universe experiencing itself?

2018-03-03 11:58:54 UTC  

Yeah he did

2018-03-03 11:59:28 UTC  

Would you consider it to be true?

2018-03-03 11:59:39 UTC  

I believe it to be.

2018-03-03 11:59:45 UTC  

Well I also used to practice a lot of meditation

2018-03-03 12:00:02 UTC  

As do I. With music mainly.

2018-03-03 12:00:15 UTC  

So yes that in my experience seemed to reflect a possible truth

2018-03-03 12:00:21 UTC  

but who knows

2018-03-03 12:00:28 UTC  

hi

2018-03-03 12:00:45 UTC  

You have to see for yourself I guess

2018-03-03 12:00:55 UTC  

Hmm I can understand that experience. And relate to it in a sense.

2018-03-03 12:01:20 UTC  

Yes its a surprisingly familiar one when you have it

2018-03-03 12:01:36 UTC  

I like to acquire as much knowledge as I can. Which is why I enjoy deep philosophical discussions such as this.

2018-03-03 12:01:49 UTC  

Hello @Gosta

2018-03-03 12:01:57 UTC  

Yeah hey,

2018-03-03 12:02:20 UTC  

yeah well it certainly helped me overcome my own nihilism

2018-03-03 12:03:20 UTC  

If I was a nihilist I'd still play the game and stand by my morals for sure.

2018-03-03 12:03:40 UTC  

Just in case I was wrong.

2018-03-03 12:04:40 UTC  

Real nihilism is pretty painful

2018-03-03 12:05:15 UTC  

For who? The self or others?

2018-03-03 12:05:25 UTC  

Or both?

2018-03-03 12:05:57 UTC  

I find true nihilism pretty sad.

2018-03-03 12:06:44 UTC  

to really contemplate meaninglessness

2018-03-03 12:06:49 UTC  

is quite painful

2018-03-03 12:06:55 UTC  

the condition of the heroin user

2018-03-03 12:07:30 UTC  

I wouldn't find it painful to be honest.

2018-03-03 12:07:53 UTC  

Well the human condition is painful

2018-03-03 12:08:09 UTC  

In what sense?

2018-03-03 12:08:26 UTC  

We suffer emotions, delusions, sickness, age, death
