Hmmmmm...to be conscious is to be aware. Going under anesthesia for surgery makes one unconscious, or unaware. I can see what is meant by Consciousness=reality(or God, Love, infinity, etc.) however. It just seems like a silly argument of semantics.

Oh, wow! Nicely done!

There’s a thought. What would becoming excessively conscious be like? Dying?

Happy belated birthday, Coronavirus thread! ?

I have no issues with Islam specifically. I have an issue with people having dogmatic beliefs that are considered sacred and go unquestioned. It’s really just people being people, and there’s not much that can be done about it.

I wonder how many women heard Leo walk up to them saying “heeeey, what’s up”, or “heeeey, this is Leo” after he got their number, before he ever made a video.

Ya know, I was reeeeeally tempted to start investing in some stocks near the end of March last year when I saw it plummeting. Wonder what my ROI would be now if I did...

On the one hand, it is a simpler way to live and society just seems like a clusterfuck lately. On the other hand, wouldn’t that be the same as kicking yourself back to beige on the spiral? How do you integrate anything when you’re mainly absorbed in survival?

Do you grow any of your own fruits or vegetables?

The depth and variety of topics discussed here is something I can’t get anywhere else. And I suppose there’s a bit of attention seeking or validation.

I don’t see this distinction ever going away. It’s been hundreds of thousands of years since our ancestors truly were equals, and the rest is history.

..........really?

If your worldview was endangered, I don’t think you’d be happy about it either.

Higher standards of behavior for higher consciousness.

If there’s a fervent push to the left equal to the recent push to the right, that would lead to another Civil War. We need a common ground somewhere in between. Look how triggered and butthurt conservatives already are without the antagonizing.

How ‘bout not equating death with stopping?

Who wants to live forever?

What are your priorities? What do you feel more drawn toward?

Why should sentience be a requirement? Do plant lives matter?

That’s a nice view!

It makes your car go faster, too!

I don’t particularly disagree with Packman in any way, but how do you help people who don’t want your help? You don’t. Let them have their self-induced suffering. Forcing help on people isn’t helpful. It takes self-awareness to realize that something’s wrong with yourself and not reality. I’m surprised even one of them could manage that. It sucks to watch, and it’s even worse if you know a loved one who thinks like this. They need to want the help first.

Love and patience. Also avoidance if your survival depends on it.

Huh...they do exist!

The thing that gets me is that it starts at 1 to represent you, because there is only 1 you. Then it ends at absolute infinity after exhausting all the other categories of infinities. Then Leo says each one of us is absolute infinity. Does it loop back around? Is that the strange loop?
