I got into an argument on debate.org with some fruitbar who claimed morality is innate / intrinsic and that children are born with it. I argued that right and wrong are matters of perception and that humans may perceive behaviors as right or wrong due to various factors, no behavior is inherently right or wrong. He stopped replying after that, but in your opinions which position is closer to the truth?

You lack discipline and blame your shortcomings on an a disorder you imagine having. You've spent 3 years in your house high on cough syrup because you lack the will to do more with your life.

^yeah I really bought calvin klein underwear if thats what you're getting at.
I think he was getting at the fact that you consider yourself a "good catholic boy", yet you have sex with prostitutes, abandoned your child and spread STD's by not wearing condoms.

People are not what they appear to be, the three dimensional physical and mental reality we experience is an extension of hyperspacial beings / structures existing in higher dimensions, produced in a way metaphorically similar to the way we produce ideas and concepts expressed with words, except our reality is expressed with forces like gravity and magnetism and languages like mathematics and DNA sequences. You are a part of something beyond comprehension but metaphorically similar to a machine or program, an intricate structure the extends beyond the perceived boundaries of your identity. One day you will die and all your parts will be disassembled and repurposed by the machine and it doesn't even matter at all because you were never really you in the first place, you've always just been the machine except you thought you were a person.

Would you support or reject a new world order / one government ruling the entire world? Whether you support or reject the idea, do you believe it's a real possibility or goal of an elite groups, or is it just a krazy konspircacy theory?

I can't remember it was too long ago. I found totse after watching Fight Club for the first time and finding the anarchists cook book and similar files on the web and was searching for more. Found totse, read many files and didn't care about the forums at first. Eventually I started reading the forums. Eventually started posting. Look how far we've come.

The bicameral mentality would be non-conscious in its inability to reason and articulate about mental contents through meta-reflection, reacting without explicitly realizing and without the meta-reflective ability to give an account of why one did so. The bicameral mind would thus lack metaconsciousness, autobiographical memory and the capacity for executive "ego functions" such as deliberate mind-wandering and conscious introspection of mental content. When bicamerality as a method of social control was no longer adaptive in complex civilizations, this mental model was replaced by the conscious mode of thought which, Jaynes argued, is grounded in the acquisition of metaphorical language learned by exposure to narrative practice. According to Jaynes, ancient people in the bicameral state of mind would have experienced the world in a manner that has some similarities to that of aschizophrenic. Rather than making conscious evaluations in novel or unexpected situations, the person would hallucinate a voice or "god" giving admonitory advice or commands and obey without question: one would not be at all conscious of one's own thought processes per se. Research into "command hallucinations" that often direct the behavior of those labeled schizophrenic, as well as other voice hearers, supports Jaynes's predictions.
