It's a fairly popular opinion among physicalists that philosophical zombies (biological humans with all the behaviour of fully conscious beings but lacking internal experience) are an incoherent concept, they're literally inconceivable. The SEP article on it is pretty interesting. I tend to think that's going a bit far, I'm willing to admit the metaphysical possibility of zombies but deny that they would be physically identical to non-zombies. Indeed the entire posit of physicalism is that consciousness is a physical phenomenon, it's an emergent property of the arrangement of atoms in your brain. The reason you experience things as opposed to nothing is explained by the same causal chain that explains your physical existence in the first place, that explains the non-conscious elements of your body. It may be complex or accidental or non-deterministic but ultimately it's a question of mechanics. And that gives us a good reason to suspect other minds because there doesn't seem to be any reason to believe anyone else lacks the physical properties that give rise to consciousness (indeed Chalmers and co. don't argue zombies exist or we should be skeptical about other people's status as zombies, just that the concept itself is problematic for physicalism) but it's not a proof thereof.
steve merchant was actually butthurt when he talked to a homeless guy that had a long distance relationship with another homeless woman because he's a lanky criglospergdyte
burthurt pedophile who will never even get the chance to molest a defenseless child against her will because he is a 61 year old scraggly looking post-milquetoast just... Fucking abominable and any child looking at his prosthetic head would get PTSD, even if they consented and wanted to get violated theyd laugh at his other prosthetic head and go tell the neighborhood kids that sophist had penile cancer and had to wear a glans prosthesis
I've had sort of a hatred against 12 step programs like AA for years because of my dad mentioning how much it helped him, well hes drinking again, like I told him a few years ago that one day he would crash from the beuraucratic bullshit that is AA Their whole philosophy as you know is, if you do drugs, youre an addict. I've sat through countless AA and NA meetings in rehab, and its just preachy bullshit. I I am almost certain that the heroin addicts and alcoholics that came into the rehab place to talk with us were court-appointed and didn't believe in the system anyway. I've also been to an NA meeting back in august 2014, they say not to come if youre high which is also a flawed logic, theyre worried if someone is visibly and obviously high its triggering or some shit. Well I was on a 5 day propylhexedrine and phenibut bender but I kept my cool listened and even said hi on Rochambeau and I'm an addict. Went to another meeting and got the basic text, read it, tried to understand the logic but couldnt. Although I found the stories in there of people talking about their addictions kind of interesting and maybe I got a sliver of inspiration from it So any of you guys been to a meeting/tried or had success with a 12 step program?
Yeah, being poor sucks. But dealing with all the fucking stress and limiting your purchases and shit is all fucking life experience and how to deal with bad situations. No dishwasher? Do the dishes yourself, yeah its gruntwork, but its work. Rich people sitting on their ass all day would get fucking destroyed in prison, anal annihilation etc
plus when youre poor you can sleep on the floor which is fucking better than sleeping on a seely posturpedic fuckin mattress crib bed stack sleeping on the floor is good for your back and plus its easier to carpet surf for crack
I carpet surfed on bk-2cb once. Just laying on the carpet spazzing out like a spastic buzzing unhuman non-socialite. cowabunga

Yeah lanny Ive done bk-2cb, 225mg back in may, I don't remember much from it but I got kinda high, no real revelations or any of that, probably because I was deep in a tramadol addiction at the time. Did 200ug of acid twice in november, enjoyed the first trip to an extent but again no revelations, second trip wasn't a bad trip but I spent most of the time looking for my ipod and headphones to go on a nature walk. Spoiler:I never found them.
The thing that stands out most in my mind from the acid trip are these 2 songs:
Have you tried any type of meditation or yoga? Is there something that makes you depressed or do you feel like your depression comes from out of the blue?
I've been trying to meditate for years but I can never get the hang of it, I know its all about clearing your mind and shit but I always end up getting restless and the racing thoughts never stop
most of the depression is non-circumstancial but my PTSD from a near death spice experience in 2014, coupled with for the most part doing nothing all day definately contributes to it
