News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

I suppose the usual standards for fun would be slighly different for Rain Gods.

Actually, I think that comes more from the "Dumbfuck" side of the family.   :lulz:

I'll enlighten when I leave my body. Or lose my fatty parts. :x

On a serious note, delusion is the closest thing we can do to get to it. In a way, I think it may be a little like enlightenment to embrace the fact that we'll always be conflicted over something, and that pain will always be there to make the happy moments more special and worth remembering, and teach us self respect... or something like that. I wonder if one would care to substain themselves alive if their brain constantly pumped out oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. Maybe they would just be cool enough for others to do that?

I'm too busy having fun to bother with enlightenment.

Oh, lighten up you :)

I've been laughing since the late 80s.  I should probably stop and catch my breath sometime.

Enlightenment happens every day to most humans. My great grandfather once said "The day you stop learning is the day you die". He claimed to learn something every day, at least, untill he died at the age of 99. He had experienced his youth in a world where he was a blacksmith that shod ponies for hauling coal out of deep mines. He experienced blasting rock with loose powder and a ramrod. He experienced the War... then he experienced farming. He experienced the end of a way of life as automobiles replaced horses. He even experienced watching the sky at specific times so he could see Sputnik shoot past on its regular orbit. He experienced tuning in to the regular beeps of human technology that was circling the earth at speeds faster than Great Grandpa Clyde would ever subjectively experience...

We're all like him. We live in this world and it will be destroyed by a new world which will be strange and weird by comparison. However, the Enlightened will be too busy basking in the moment of learning something new, to perceive the Apocalypse that their peers are experiencing.

Maybe.

Malthus assumed nobody'd ever knowingly waste something, didn't he?

No, he assumed no new technological developments in agriculture would come along, and mathematically proved that the human race would go extinct by 1800AD.
