  1. No, you can only have knowledge of the things you can experience, and you are experience.
  2. @Leo Gura Eating is silly when you realize you're eating yourself? Infinity loves murder because it HAS TO, because infinity is directly dependent on finities such as the mental conditions that lead to murder. Murder wouldn't just happen in a nondual state because murder is impossible with no subject and object. It would happen because you wouldn't destroy something you love.
  3. @Leo Gura Why do you discourage murder? For purely practical reasons?
  4. You're removing all meaning from the word's "bad" and "negative." Infinite love would never lead to murder obviously, and finite love only exists because finity is a requisite for infinity. Clearly, you value you love, so why is more love not good and less love not bad? What is the distinction between "less love = less good" and "less love = bad."
  5. @Leo Gura People like Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens need to exist, or we'd all be stuck in blue.
  6. Am I supposed to find truth in the words of Jesus of Nazareth?
  7. @Leo Gura Are you saying the people who program machine learning with chess bots don't actually understand how the processes are working?
  8. @Meta-Man Consciousness controls brains that control consciousness. If I am in a dream, I can imagine an object in the dream world that affects my consciousness. This is what brains and psychedelics do in physical reality. Give yourself a lobotomy, and you will no longer be anywhere close to enlightenment. It's just a fact.
  9. @Meta-Man Consciousness can still be primary even if certain arrangements in the physical world have the perceived properties of higher consciousness. Brains obviously have higher consciousness than trees, even though neither exists outside of their own minds. I guess the inanimate tree doesn't really have a mind.
