morality, drugs, existence

Sounds like a plan...

wasting your time with posts like these.

I doubt that very much, CM. Listen to the tone of this reply...and then compare it to the ones you gave to my several posts prior to it.

ok sorry. if you consider me 'changing my tone' a victory on your part, and a great use of your time, then you are right you are not wasting your time at all.

actually, it is nothing but a failure on your part, proving that my previous tone had an effect on you. the correct effect, the one where you didn't like it, and had to get me to change that tone. so thanks for falling directly into my trap.

Wow...that was desperation at the keyboard, CM.

You gotta calm down...and only write when you have something reasonable to say.

As for pretending that you had set a trap and I fell into it....well...I will carry that with me for the rest of the morning and probably laugh at it as much each time that it comes to mind as it did the moment I read it.

YOU...setting a trap!!!!

"THE Muslims" didn't do 9/11. SOME Muslims did

I am waiting for nothing. I am just saying what I see: China is becoming expansionist. It's not a democracy. The lunacy of a few men can lead the country anywhere, like when Mao's policies killed by some estimates 40 ml people in a few years -- about the same toll as WW2 -- just because he wanted a Great Leap Forward... But that doesn't count in your violence stats.

I suppose Japan, with its fair share of Buddhist, was not interested in power before the 30's. Ignore history's lesson at your peril.

Anyway, India is but a meaningless concept full of nothingness, so if it disappears we shouldn't be too bothered, right?

i have to use desperation to get anywhere with your primitive intellect. everything i say no matter what, you will interpret as unreasonable. therefore, i most certainly did create the trap of giving you the reasonable answers you wanted, flavoured with an intensely deep sarcasm.

laugh away, all the way into my next few traps. HAHA what did you think, i really did suddenly think you were god and i was wrong about everything? rooofl you wish

it is you that is simply offended by the very idea that maybe abrahamic religions ARE more violent, and trying in vain endlessly to prove that hindus are just as bad. keep struggling..

nothingness is the absolute primary only existence, according to indian philosophy.

I am just less naïve and better informed than you are.

I am not offended.

I will believe it the day you prove it.

Otherwise it sounds like another cheap cliché. And a very dangerous one to hold on to...

Nothingness does not exist at all, it's an empty concept, by definition.

Anyway, in the course of this discussion, we've established you are a hater

, a naïve, misinformed and nationalistic dummy

, a mind incapable of logic

, peddling an immoral theory

and mentally dead.

If that's the best Indian philosophy has to offer, it's really sad.

I'd rather think you don't understand your own philosophical tradition very well. Millions of Indians can't be that stupid...

CM...you are one of the funniest people ever to post here in A2K. I thank you for being here.

Setting more traps!!!!

Oh, my aching sides.

in your limited mind, the universe exists. you exist. the concept of nothingness doesn't exist.
in my unlimited mind, nothing exists absolutely, and therefore by default, that 'nothingness' becomes the only absolute paradoxical 'existence'.

i agree it is hilarious, but for different reasons. you think the idea that i could 'set a trap' is hilarious, because i am too dumb? perhaps. and yet you are the one who brought up my 'change in tone' as a victory for you.

i think its hilarious because you pretending to laugh this off is your only way of saving face, now knowing that you actually did fall into my 'trap'. let me define my trap for you a little better:

you were/are still extremely narrow-minded in your understanding of this conversation. you got intellectually interested in my propositions about 'nothingness', and the obvious but primitive instinct to negate that came up in you strongly. so you felt the need to prove me wrong, that there is no possibility of nothingness, it is all paradoxical, only 'what is is'. you need to establish that you are correct about 'what is is' being a better explanation of 'absolute reality', which you believe in as a result of the primitive desire for consciousness to define itself as real. this primitive desire dissolves once intelligence overrides it.

now, i digress, lets get to the 'trap'. i could see that no matter what i say, you are just on autopilot, maintaining the simple idea that 'what is is' and not budging from it, because of your ego dominance. so i decided to totally agree with you, treat you like a god, so that it wouldn't be possible anymore for you to keep blindly negating me from your blind ego impulses.

it worked perfectly, because you started avoiding my responses, you never really addressed this new 'tone' i had. you wrote it off as me being immature or something, but essentially, you had nothing left to say because i was agreeing with everything you said.

then, having seen that my trap has already basically worked, i let off, and said 'you are wasting your time'. a simple statement to show that i was bored of this game. at this point, i didn't even assume it was a 'trap', just a game. then, when you responded, claiming that i had 'changed my tone', and therefore your time wasn't wasted, i realised that my game had actually worked as a trap that you fell directly into.

you admitted that you couldn't deal with my previous tone, and considered it a victory that i had changed back to a normal tone.

why is that? why couldn't you deal with it? i was agreeing with everything you said, and conceding absolute defeat, acknowledging everything you say as perfect.

you couldn't deal with that, because the current level of your intellect doesn't even believe in itself as advanced enough to deserve that level of praise. so you assumed i was being insincere, this or that. actually, it was just a perfect trap.

Listen, if thingness=nothingness, and if likewise all concepts and dimensions are void and meaningless, and if men are only babbling, it's quite possible you and I are sensing the same elephant from different angles

You emphasize its 'nothingness' and I emphasize its thingness but nothing=something.

BTW, I meant to say that you wrongly equate emptiness and nothingness in your list of items further upstream, when speaking of matter which is 99.9999 EMPTY SPACE.

Not NOTHING. Emptiness implies an empty SPACE, which is SOMETHING, something many city dwellers are longing after.
