goldeneagle2 As I was saying—and I really want to dive deep into this one because it’s such an interesting point—it turns out that... He definitely missed the mark on this one! Honestly, if he wanted to go head-to-head with those religious extremists—you know, the ones constantly fighting over whose tribal deity is bigger and stronger—he should have headed straight to Divinity School. That’s where the real combat happens. But us? We aren't about that life. We’re much more focused on the spiritual side of things here... we're all about the lotus flowers, crystals, chakras, mantras, tantras, yantras, and—well, maybe a little bit of Asana too!

In other words—you're basically living in a total fantasy land!
We really need to nip any mention of reality right in the bud!

Scott Nguyen5 said:Believing whatever someone else tells you is the truth isn't spirituality—it's just being naive.

Real spirituality comes from within, not from following a script someone else handed you.

There really has to be a balance between the collective "we" and that inner "I" when you look at it this way.
Both our shared identity and our individual selves are constantly evolving, after all!

Sam Martinez9 said:I’d say that sounds more like something an influencer would post.

Well, at least they're actually doing something...

Sam Martinez9 said:Of course, from the moment anyone rolls out of bed, they’re thinking about physics, quantum mechanics, cellular biochemistry, hormonal balances, or the chemical makeup of some substance... things like that. Honestly, those are the primary topics of conversation in every local diner across the country.

Honestly, 90% of them just barely scrape by, while the lucky few actually have some sort of philosophy to live by.

Mark Torres14 said:Let’s say humanity runs into an alien intelligence in the near future—something that evolved completely separately from us. That reality would absolutely wreck the scientific establishment. We'd be forced to tear up almost everything we think we know and rebuild our entire worldview from scratch.
The real question is: in this hypothetical scenario, which philosophical stances, theories, and methods become totally obsolete?
For instance, the idea that "man is the measure of all things" would become just as useless as claiming the Earth is a flat disc.

If something is fundamentally disconnected—meaning there's absolutely no common ground—then contact isn't even going to happen.
It's like saying two magnets with the same polarity are somehow going to snap together.

I was just watching this video one guy filmed... He’s out here claiming that the stars circling Mary's head are some kind of devilish work—basically saying she isn't really the Virgin Mary.
When they asked him why he thought that, he just gave this vague "because" answer. It was wild! People actually tried to counter him by quoting the Book of Revelation—you know, where it explicitly describes a woman crowned with twelve stars—to show him that his theory doesn't mean a thing. But nope, he just keeps spinning the same old tired rhetoric about it being demonic.
It’s honestly just a total lack of ability to argue or even process a logical point.
Or, to put it more bluntly: the man is a complete blockhead.

velvetbear372 said:I’ll illustrate the concept of reason using Star Trek—specifically through Spock and his adherence to Vulcan philosophy;

In one particular episode, Spock’s mother informs him that his father urgently needs his blood transfusion to survive—he'll die without it—and demands he leave immediately. Spock refuses. At that moment, a critical situation was unfolding on the ship, putting thousands of lives at risk. To him, it was the only logical choice: saving thousands outweighed the life of his own father. His mother was devastated—she was weeping, furious, and eventually slapped him, declaring she would never speak to him again (since she is human). Spock’s response? He simply asked what his father would think of him if he had chosen his own kin over thousands of others.

To make truly rational decisions, one must diminish—though I wouldn't say entirely eliminate—emotion, while simultaneously remaining moral.

After hearing that example, can you still argue that this is loosely tied to logic? Or that it's merely subjective?

That sounds like standard political maneuvering designed to keep certain groups tightly knit together... though you'll probably ask me why I'm being so cynical now..

Paul Rogers94 said:You're just proving how much ignorance and malice is in that statement.
It's a shame that basically any kind of lowlife can have kids these days.🕺
I highly suggest you go find some therapy elsewhere to deal with your issues.

You totally twisted my points, and honestly, you're being way too dramatic with your wording.
At the end of the day, your opinion is your right.

I'm a total follower of Markikin! Buahauhu

Paul Rogers94 said:The whole work ethic ideology is basically one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse—sitting right alongside nationalism, religion, and the concept of family.😉

Well, I guess that’s how it looks from a parasite's perspective!
Once you actually have to work to provide for a child, you start to realize what it truly means to give back—which is a pretty massive difference compared to those parasites who just want to live off everyone else.

Paul Rogers94 said:Pure love for the self burns away all the 'impurities'... a person can't achieve anything through their own will alone, without some sort of 'grace or help from above.'

So, what you're saying is there's one main parasite? 🤦
