> well, its always a bad idea to drink&post

true. they should invent an alcohol breath tester that plugs into your USB port and then locks your internet connection or something.

does it function as a beer dispenser when one doesn't post? ill buy

pfffff

the sound of air escaping my punctured bubble.

if you catch me sober (like, not now), i'll show you why i have one :-D

you should understand it biting your tail hard enough ------------------- you feel it?

well, its always a bad idea to drink&post. i just mentioned this to someone last week.
but yeah, i think "i feel it", i beeleaf so...

we would have to first establish you have such a thing and what it consists of exactly.
if i would have wanted to be a real ass (as opposed to the cute fluffy bunny that i am now) id say lets define will
thinking about it for a few minutes i recall what a headache i got reading all them philosophers that dealt with the will issue.
kinda makes me wanna unwrap my towel, throw it in and say "I kinda liked Cain's better".

bah fuck it, ive long become too much of a nihilist to "be" a "true/real" discordian

laterz.

just trying to bite my own tail

The Universe is essentially mindless and doesn't give a shit one way or another about my presence and thus any values I attribute to external phenomena are merely internal projections onto a value neutral existence?

id put it like

The Universe IS. (any attribute or action is only for purposes)
it "cannot give a shit" about consciousness and thus anything I attribute to external phenomena are merely internal projections onto a value neutral existence.

maybe this is the hardest part for humans to swallow, that the very concept of "self" (and its various projections) means nothing.

it is particularly interesting to see this in the language used. like: "i think that" or "i believe that" instead of the most obvious "i suspect that" which might be closer to what one meant to say.
and this is language used by well known and respected scientists.
only one of the books i grep through almost didnt use those (and other) patterns.
reading dawkins one might think that genes and memes have a will*. will? ermm..
its really interesting considering dawkins essentially speaking about language using.... well, language.

and of course, its not very easy to change language patterns, no more than one can think about himself as nothing more than a (by)product of a mass of neurons doing their chemical thing.

some form of god always exists there embedded in our brains regardless of how seemingly "unreligiously/areligiously" it manifests.
much like the drive to spot patterns around us, find (meaningful) causality, put the universe in order, seek the meaning of life and post on pd.

this kinda folds rygD argument on itself, which is quite funny. too bad search function doesnt work

*had a conversation on this very topic with someone on this forum just a week ago. i have yet to punish him for actually thinking he has a will
