  1. Record your house a video while you're absent and see
  2. 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?
  3. Just watched this video.. It's interesting. He reminds of Leo somehow ?.. Anyone knows him? What do you think of him?
  4. I can't even quit this forum let alone quitting society
  5. 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..
  6. @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.
  7. 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.
  8. This depends on the definition or "exist" and "consciousness".
  9. That explains nothing. Why can't we accept that it's a mystical phenomenon?
  10. Yeah well all that is relative stuff. Can't say for certain whether it happend or not.
  11. @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.
  12. Why the denial of the mechanical aspect of being human? Everything affects everything else. So if it's gonna be a cause from outside (like external conditions maybe losing your job etc) or internal conditions. (chemical imbalance) It's basically a chain of causality that you are a slave of.
  13. There is only one fear.. Fear of death.
  14. Pain IS suffering. Stop making that silly distinction between the two.
  15. @Gesundheit there is both physical and psychological aspects to suffering. Whatever dude. I disagree.
  16. What is SDS? No. Suffering is physical. Not necessarily. You can be sick and disturbred. This whole happiness /peace is your true nature is BS in my humble opinion.
  17. There has been a lot of Sci-fi movies based on your Hypothesis. But.. even if some aliens created life on earth.. they didn't purposefully create humans. We evolved from much simpler organisms before us (on a large scale comparison). We do not know for sure where from the first genetic material came from. There are theories which states it came from outer space or it came from mars etc. But we have evidence now that supports that evolution is a 'thing' and we humans came after a very looooooooong porcess of evolution from the first formed life. May be we share our DNA with the superior species that you're talking about here, in some way.. but nobody 'created us as humans' and drop us here on earth from outer space. Proof? What else are you?
