Its fun to explore them
I believe a lot of things to be based on faith.
well thats a good point and a central idea in buddhist philosophy
Interesting.
They would say, no faith is not enough
You must experience objectivity
It cannot be conceptualised
Alan Moore dislikes materialism I think for that reason.
So aldous huxley wrote a cool book
called the doors of perception
which was about this
Or the popularization of it anyway.
Interesting. I might read it soon.
and a guy called terrence mckenna also had a lot to say
they seemed to think the right sort of psychedelic drug could give you a brief glimpse of objectivity
but one that could only be experienced
Yes Alan Moore also said something like that if I recall correctly.
there's a substance called DMT
In a sense I agree with you though.
I don't think someone can truly be enlightened.
DMT?
Well what is enlightened. thats a pretty heavy question haha
Dimethyltryptamine.
bingo
I believe enlightened to be wisdom.
Wisdom that benefits humanity in every aspect.
thats one way of looking at it
And perhaps wisdom that does the opposite.
another is that its the state in which you can experience the totality
To know all seems to be even more improbable to me.
Well at this point we're not talking about concepts
I think the use of time travel would be needed to achieve that.
just experience
concepts are limited
Experiences such as what exactly?
well I can relate to you what DMT felt like
or what Buddha thought
or um
I dunno
Well go on then, tell me.
