  1. So basically.. What is "sane" is the outcome of ongoing cultural negotiation.. as is the definition and meaning of all things that are linguistic in nature .Nevertheless you occupy a particular moment in cultural space/time right now.
  2. That's a nice link with nonduality. I should add that You should be aware that there is no longer such a thing as "clinical insanity". Doctors and scientists gave up trying define sanity a long time ago. The only remaining accepted definition of sanity is the legal one.. which amounts to being able to understand the consequences of one's actions and the difference between right and wrong. And while psychiatrists might provide evidence that someone has a mental disorder.. it's up to the judge and jury to decide if someone is "sane"
  3. I guess if your actions don’t meet the societal normal.. you’re insane. So it’s probably just semantics. basically society is kind of hypocrite while defining what is crazyness because we do a lot of crazy shit on a daily basis.. but if enough people do that shit it becomes the new "normal".
  4. Because I have no energy to write essays and not good at it.
  5. Random journal. Posting random stuff.(open). AMA. If you like
  6. Existence seems to me like an insoluble mystery.
  7. The ego is never satisfied.. No amount of sex or money etc will satisfy you. The whole thing is rubbish. So this journal will just be random small words.
  8. @Inliytened1 I know that I don't know. And since I don't know anything... And everyone are copies of me.. Then everyone don't know as well. Lol
  9. Record your house a video while you're absent and see
  10. Our knowledge in the fields of biology and medicine are quite vast. We know quite well what we are on a physical level.. and I suppose we could define ourselves as “biological robots” in a very broad sense (Collins defines “A robot is a machine which is programmed to move and perform certain tasks automatically.”) We indeed are machines made of organic micro-components (cells.. each being a programmable machine itself.. and we have recently learned how to read and edit their own code, the DNA). we can perform complex work.. and we can accept complex “programming” in the form of learning (our “firmware” is very limited compared to other animals.. but we make up the difference with a lot of “memory” and “computing power”). As to out ability to think and do mathematics and so forth. Look at the human brain.. Play with the neurotransmitters and you can fuck with your personality and you're changing your mind and mood just by affecting your dopamine and Serotonin levels. That goes to show how machine -like we are. For example.. Depression is caused by lack of dopamine and Serotonin in the brain.. And then cured by taking medications that work on as elevator for those chemicals... What does that tell you about how you work? Are you a biological machine?
  11. Just watched this video.. It's interesting. He reminds of Leo somehow ?.. Anyone knows him? What do you think of him?
  12. I can't even quit this forum let alone quitting society
  13. If that's your direct insight.. Then why are you talking to me? Look.. Solipsism can't be proven or disproven.. But it's pure madness to think you are alone and everything is a fucking hoax.. So try to abandon that line of reasoning.. It won't get you anywhere..
  14. @Preety_India Why not? If I could afford stable access to food and water and shelter etc... Many people do this after retirement in India.. Although it's not so preferable way of living. I'm well aware. @Gesundheit curious about your thoughts.
  15. You have two options.. Either keep reacting to the OCD thought or ignore it. If you keep reacting you will only strengthen the habit and get worse.. Therefore the only solution is to ignore the thoughts and never react no matter how intense it is and often it arises.
  16. This depends on the definition or "exist" and "consciousness".
  17. That explains nothing. Why can't we accept that it's a mystical phenomenon?
  18. Yeah well all that is relative stuff. Can't say for certain whether it happend or not.
  19. @Carl-Richard nice perspective. As I said earlier.. It's both external condition and chemical imbalance.. Who causes the other?? Doesn't matter. At the end you are a slave to this causal chain - - input >output (low quality of life >chemical imbalance >depression). My point still stands valid. man is a biochemical computer and nothing more. Unless you can provide evidence of a soul or a transcendental aspect to him. The Buddha has said that all things are composite and there is no self.. no soul.. no spirit.. no ‘I’.. which seems to agree with my viewpoint. So every part of your body and the environment depends on each other but none has independence or inherent existence. My point is.. There is no self or soul. All that's left is the apparent body and mind. Which are pretty much biological machines and nothing more. Man certainly is a biocompute.. but something more too. About ninety-nine point nine percent of people it can be said that they are only biocomputers and nothing more. Ordinarily one is only the body and the mind..and both are composites. Unless one moves into meditation one cannot find that which is something more.. something transcendental to body and mind.
