    Nothing because it's all temporary, so imo it's better to live like you could lose it all at any time.

    Originally posted by Fox Paws That’s what I was gonna say to you

    Originally posted by Fox Paws So how does that explain how the self is an illusion. By your definition, I can just say that when I think about my self, I think it’s not an illusion. There, it’s not an illusion now. Because I thought it.

    You can think whatever you want, doesn't make it real.

    If you become aware that you are all of your own body, and that the beating of your heart is not just something that happens to you, but something you’re doing, then you become aware also in the same moment and at the same time that you’re not only beating your heart, but that you are shining the sun.

    Why? Because the process of your bodily existence and its rhythms is a process, an energy system which is continuous with the shining of the sun, just like riveris a continuous energy system, and all the waves in it are activities of the whole river, and that’s continuous with the Atlantic Ocean, and that’s all one energy system and finally the Atlantic ocean gets around to being the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, etc., and so all the waters of the Earth are a continuous energy system.

    But an illusion is a subjective experience that is not what it seems. Illusions are experiences in the mind, but they are not out there in nature. Rather, they are events generated by the brain. Most of us have an experience of a self. I certainly have one, and I do not doubt that others do as well – an autonomous individual with a coherent identity and sense of free will. But that experience is an illusion – it does not exist independently of the person having the experience, and it is certainly not what it seems.

    For most of us, the sense of our self is as an integrated individual inhabiting a body. I think it helps to compare the experience of self to subjective contours – illusions such as the Kanizsa pattern where you see an invisible shape that is really defined entirely by the surrounding context. People understand that it is a trick of the mind but what they may not appreciate is that the brain is actually generating the neural activation as if the illusory shape was really there. In other words, the brain is hallucinating the experience. There are now many studies revealing that illusions generate brain activity as if they existed. They are not real but the brain treats them as if they were.

    Now that line of reasoning could be applied to all perception except that not all perception is an illusion. There are real shapes out there in the world and other physical regularities that generate reliable states in the minds of others. The reason that the status of reality cannot be applied to the self, is that it does not exist independently of my brain alone that is having the experience. It may appear to have a consistency of regularity and stability that makes it seem real, but those properties alone do not make it so.

    WHAT POKEMON WOULD YOU BE, OBBE

    I dunno. I wouldn't want to be a Pokemon. That would be a shit life.

    You can't beat the game with just 1 Pokemon. Which 6 are the best in their classes which work best as a team to defeat the whole game?

    What are the 6 best Pokemon for your team?

    Lately I keep getting green crack and purple kush but I really just smoke whatever. Maybe when it's legal I will pick a favorite strain.

    You should watch "a handmaids tale" it's about your ideal society where women lose all their rights and get raped all the time.

    Originally posted by Fox Paws He is not refusing to do anything. He has no choice in the matter. No “free will”, if u will

    Well I agree 100% with that but I'm not a pretentious faggot about it like how you're acting.

    I mentioned that because I posted something about this topic years ago and everyone was like "shut the fuck up stupid".

    Then someone else made a thread about the same topic and lanny actually tried it and then felt bad that he wouldn't even consider it the time I brought it up.

    Why do you refuse to talk with me??
  16. Obbe Alan What? [annoy my right-angled speediness]
    Yep.
  17. Obbe Alan What? [annoy my right-angled speediness]

    Rather be hollow than salty, I guess.
