Thats the "I gently placed my balls against the cover and absorbed the entirety its wisdom into my mancratch" button, right?

This is all besides the point, because anyone who sucks up dogma is a dogmatist - no matter if its from RAW, Jesus or Scientology.  Its all the same crap, someone elses ideas that you parrot because it makes you feel good. 

Way to go in surrenduring your mind, monkey-boi

i couldn't agree more .....


although it's a bit ironic that you are a proponent of free minds ..... considering how quickly you jump on ideas you disagree with .....

see ya again in 14 days

Jumping on ideas you disagree with is dogmatism?

Really?

AYRTS?  IA?

  I think he really is...

Fucking whoa.  I read the acronym and understood it.

Several people have weighed in on this. I'd like to weigh in too!

"Jumping on ideas disagreed with" is neutral-minded. Correcting errors must be a part of any system. Without error correction, errors proliferate.

Just look at New Age: "All ideas are welcome" and it soon became a fat load of craptasticness.

Close-mindedness is rejecting ideas without due consideration, i.e., faulty error-checking. "It's not a bug, it's a feature -- the path to salvation!"

Open-mindedness is good error-checking. Giving new ideas due consideration, accepting what's correct even if it means completely re-evaluating everything you know, and rejecting what's wrong even if it means dumping all over morons like you.

(For logical completeness, can anyone tell what the opposite of New Age is -- ie, the rejection of all ideas, right or wrong?)

The beuarucracy.

Fixed.

Being anti dogmatic is a form of dogmatism, just like the middle path of Buddhism is a kind of extreme, and Communism is a form of government.

i certainly agree with that statement ..... i also find now that i'm a father and i've broken the age of 30 that alot of my more radical ideas have started to temper, i often find myself, particularly these days, re-evaluating my ideas and belief structures, kinda like when i was younger i would just suck everything in and spit it back out, more as an experience than anything else. Now i find that i'm going back and saying "That was sweet, lets try it again, but this time, chewing a little" ..... and from what history has showed us is that most forms of government look really swell on paper, once they have some time to be put into practice though then eventually breakdown into despotism ..... everytime through all of history .....

Nothing means anything.  Black is white.  You're an idiot.

These cafe anarchists are hilarious.  If all the cops disappeared tomorrow, they'd be the FIRST people crying for them to come back.

Years later, you'll be laughing at the same post by a newer "Discordian", and you will get the acute impression that you are old and bitter.

This concludes your obvious commentary for the thread.

Unless that's all this forum ever does. 

quoted for truth. i found this out last night.

ECH,

So what?  The world is overpopulated anyway.  And anarchy doesn't imply violence, except to the close minded.
