I'm just saying what I'd believe atleast.

2018-03-03 11:41:59 UTC  

yeah I follwo

2018-03-03 11:42:34 UTC  

I believe we only have one life though

2018-03-03 11:42:53 UTC  

So you believe time is linear?

2018-03-03 11:42:57 UTC  

So who am I to ruin any lives?

2018-03-03 11:43:09 UTC  

Hmm I don't know to be honest

2018-03-03 11:43:28 UTC  

past present and future may just be a singular thing ?

2018-03-03 11:43:52 UTC  

Sounds like a paradox though

2018-03-03 11:43:56 UTC  

How so?

2018-03-03 11:44:10 UTC  

How could the universe exist and not exist at the same time?

2018-03-03 11:44:25 UTC  

Assuming the universe was to end of course

2018-03-03 11:44:45 UTC  

ah see now that's a pretty weird idea

2018-03-03 11:44:53 UTC  

A universe that is all at once

2018-03-03 11:45:22 UTC  

Doesnt make sense to me

2018-03-03 11:46:09 UTC  

just think about time as a singular thing

2018-03-03 11:46:17 UTC  

we experience it linearly

2018-03-03 11:46:20 UTC  

but that doesnt make it so

2018-03-03 11:46:32 UTC  

Ah ok

2018-03-03 11:46:49 UTC  

I get it now. More or less I think.

2018-03-03 11:47:13 UTC  

So there are a lot of ideas about this

2018-03-03 11:47:19 UTC  

Wouldnt you need to base that on faith though?

2018-03-03 11:47:20 UTC  

Its fun to explore them

2018-03-03 11:47:33 UTC  

I believe a lot of things to be based on faith.

2018-03-03 11:47:44 UTC  

well thats a good point and a central idea in buddhist philosophy

2018-03-03 11:47:57 UTC  

Interesting.

2018-03-03 11:48:04 UTC  

They would say, no faith is not enough

2018-03-03 11:48:12 UTC  

You must experience objectivity

2018-03-03 11:48:20 UTC  

It cannot be conceptualised

2018-03-03 11:49:11 UTC  

Alan Moore dislikes materialism I think for that reason.

2018-03-03 11:49:42 UTC  

So aldous huxley wrote a cool book

2018-03-03 11:49:46 UTC  

called the doors of perception

2018-03-03 11:49:49 UTC  

which was about this

2018-03-03 11:49:54 UTC  

Or the popularization of it anyway.

2018-03-03 11:50:18 UTC  

Interesting. I might read it soon.

2018-03-03 11:50:19 UTC  

and a guy called terrence mckenna also had a lot to say

2018-03-03 11:50:42 UTC  

they seemed to think the right sort of psychedelic drug could give you a brief glimpse of objectivity

2018-03-03 11:50:55 UTC  

but one that could only be experienced

2018-03-03 11:51:09 UTC  

Yes Alan Moore also said something like that if I recall correctly.

2018-03-03 11:51:29 UTC  

there's a substance called DMT

2018-03-03 11:51:32 UTC  

In a sense I agree with you though.

2018-03-03 11:51:44 UTC  

I don't think someone can truly be enlightened.
