  1. I like the principle behind it and the poetic expression although this point could be clarified even more: What's your experience of this communication?
  2. Wouldn't that be painting with broad strokes, though? Would it then follow that every form of logical conclusion is an opinion? Based on second-hand evidence and consensus - since none of us has been to outer space (as far as I know) - we can logically conclude that the Earth is round. Even though this is fundamentally a valid, widely-accepted belief, would it be accurate to think of it as an opinion?
  3. Observation and fact - among other things- I wouldn't categorize as opinion, so that's that. 3+2 = 5 isn't an opinion. Not really, I think. You? Sounds good. Is there some kind of emotional charge and value assessment there? Such as liking and disliking?
  4. @Lucasxp64 I'm not the OP but thank you!
  5. Yeah, some opening. If possible, clarification.
  6. Or rather: "blue is the best color."
  7. I guess. What is not an opinion? (I'm not implying that everything is an opinion)
  8. That's like asking for "artificially-generated" information. It may be entertaining as an intellectual exchange but going through the motions isn't the point of inquiring. Wonder is. It's tempting to use it in the first place because it is easy and passive for the most part - we generally just want to be told "the answers." Still, it might be useful in certain ways, or in other areas. Actually contemplating may be emotionally difficult, boring, and even discouraging at times, but in the end it is a genuine probing, not a mere request for data - especially in this context of enlightenment work.
  9. Is it a form of judgment (whether good or bad)? Or is it more of a preference or liking? Seems to be entirely subjective - up to the individual. A particular form of subjective assessment? A fact could be seen as the antithesis of an opinion - in my opinion. "Blue is my favorite color"
  10. Thanks. Also: Is there a question here?
  11. What do you mean by annihilate? In any case, don't harm yourself. That's quite foolish. Annihilate your belief in solipsism instead.
  12. Oh I see, that one's hard to catch.
  13. Likely experiences so keep at it. Go for what's true now, not hearsay. Good luck.
  14. What's the recontextualization here?
  15. Yeah, pretty much. We pursue what is assessed as lacking in the present. In the case of happiness, that might be a fool's errand.
