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.

2018-03-03 11:51:54 UTC  

Which i've dabbled with

2018-03-03 11:52:03 UTC  

DMT?

2018-03-03 11:52:15 UTC  

Well what is enlightened. thats a pretty heavy question haha

2018-03-03 11:52:28 UTC  

Dimethyltryptamine.

2018-03-03 11:52:31 UTC  

bingo

2018-03-03 11:52:46 UTC  

I believe enlightened to be wisdom.

2018-03-03 11:53:04 UTC  

Wisdom that benefits humanity in every aspect.

2018-03-03 11:53:12 UTC  

thats one way of looking at it

2018-03-03 11:53:27 UTC  

And perhaps wisdom that does the opposite.

2018-03-03 11:53:31 UTC  

another is that its the state in which you can experience the totality

2018-03-03 11:54:04 UTC  

To know all seems to be even more improbable to me.

2018-03-03 11:54:21 UTC  

Well at this point we're not talking about concepts

2018-03-03 11:54:23 UTC  

I think the use of time travel would be needed to achieve that.

2018-03-03 11:54:24 UTC  

just experience

2018-03-03 11:54:28 UTC  

concepts are limited

2018-03-03 11:54:42 UTC  

Experiences such as what exactly?

2018-03-03 11:54:59 UTC  

well I can relate to you what DMT felt like

2018-03-03 11:55:04 UTC  

or what Buddha thought

2018-03-03 11:55:20 UTC  

or um

2018-03-03 11:55:23 UTC  

I dunno
