  1. I want more of visual arts, philosophy, culture, astounding philosophers, exciting and mentally stimulating ideas, good speakers, people I just "relate" to. Here are some examples of things that give me great passion:

    Love how this guy presents his/"his" ideas..

     

     


  2. @Nthnl It being an illusion cannot be comprehended in regular life. Perhaps it is an illusion intrinsically but we don't react to events like that. We see them as they appear, and they affect us in a way that I suppose only our emotional selves really understand. That's why people cry at funerals, panick during times of crisis, feel fear or anger, etc. 


  3. Leo I think we need more of those "...example" threads. But more democratic, like people setting up a lot of those, as in in-depth discussions of culture such music and paintings and maybe literature with dozens of people. We have a politics section of that, so why not do it with art too? I think that would be very interesting to see. We have better thread design than Reddit too, so I think it has potential to be great. 

    Yeah actually I think a forum section dedicated on that would be astonishing ;)


  4. Life  does have a purpose. It is the way things happen, in the sense that birds chirp, ants hoard food, dung beetles gather and roll poop, wolves hunt, etc etc. 

    Now, meaning is man-made. Really, without it we would only endlessly (and as history has shown, inevitably) fulfill our "purpose", which is being the biggest, greediest, cruelest animals in the Earth.
