it's questionable whether there is such a thing as an
individual. every thought in your head, the basis from which
you act on everything, was put in there from birth. you have
been totally conditioned by your environment. even your
personality is probably genetic to some extent.

if every person you ever met told you the sky was purple
you'd think it was purple and wouldn't know any different.
you have to rely on others completely to function in this
society.

you only have to look at ferral children to see what happens
when there is no human interferement. they are utterly
incapable of functioning in society and have no
individuality whatsoever other than what you impose on
them.

its not up to ug to prove anything and neither did he have
any interest in doing so. there's nothing to prove anyway
and nothing to understand. if you want to get nearer to
truth then just strip all the shit away and accept the facts
as they are.

if everybody was aware there would be no war, no violence,
no conflict, no religion. the utter futility of it would be
completely evident. so no, unfortunately very few are aware,
and very few are interested in finding out either. despite
possessing this consciousness, humans are one of the most
stupid species in the animal kingdom.

Agreed. People think in black and white - I'm right you're

right. They don't their comfortable world of illusions to be
shattered. Few just open their ears and listen, without

if the meaning contained in anyones words is put there by
you, then how can you ever be made upset by someones words?
that's why i like UG's dog barking analogy. when a dog barks
at you, it's just making a noise - a dogs bark does not mean
"I am divorcing you, taking the children and the home." the
reaction to along with the meaning put in anything is
totally an after-thought to the fact. if we operated from
this standpoint there would be so much peace and luxury on
the planet for everyone

no one would be afraid of anything because they'd realize
the source of fear&afraid was from within.

if you call someone ignorant, it's like you're calling the
sun ignorant, or food ignorant. the individual can't be
separated from what sustains it, neither can the reaction be
separated from the action. they are one unitary movement (as
UG would say)

barcode,

You have before compared the thoughtless state to the state
animals are in. You say there would be no war for instance,
yet animals are violent by nature.
Furthermore, you have not yet defined what a thought is, or
how it functions.

I would propose that wherever there is choice, there is
thought, even in animals.
We say animals work on instinct, but does anyone really know
the deeper workings of instincts? What if they are a very
basic version of our thoughts?
Animals must make decisions all the time. And they are able
to be conscious and experience vision, pain etc, so it's
fair to deduce that they have choices.

The human we have today is just a very complex version of
this animal. The more we speak and learn, the more self
aware we become, and the more choices we make. The more
complex our world is, the more complex we become. The more
we broaden our horizons, but it's still in the end the same
mechanisms as a rat or a dog. This is not an illusion, it's
a side effect of evolution, and one that wasn't even our
choice. Nature made us this way.

What you're basically proposing is to strip away all the
complexities of the world until everything is very simple.
You are not proposing a simplification of the mind, but of
the world. Think about that.

And also, do you think dogs experience more true because
they don't have language?
They also have very basic levels of labeling, otherwise they
wouldn't survive. They can for instance associate wolves
with danger, and this applies a label to the wolf that makes
them not experience the wolf without thought, but rather the
brain filters a meaning.

it's questionable whether there is such a thing as an
individual. every thought in your head, the basis from which

you act on everything, was put in there from birth. you have

been totally conditioned by your environment. even your
personality is probably genetic to some extent.

It is not important is there individual or there is no
individual, changes nothing. Change your mind does not meen
to achieve something. You simply building a house with no
foundation. You asking nothing you just give answers.

if every person you ever met told you the sky was purple
you'd think it was purple and wouldn't know any different.
you have to rely on others completely to function in this
society.

Not important, you can see sky red and grass blue you can
call it in different names, still changes nothing. Your
pursuit of truth has no meening at all for world, for you
maybe its a true.

you only have to look at ferral children to see what happens

when there is no human interferement. they are utterly
incapable of functioning in society and have no
individuality whatsoever other than what you impose on
them.

And you expect to load OS from empty HDD or what? This is
good argument, only together we form a "body" of humanity,
like atoms form body, but individual atoms looks
uninteligent to us. I say no! If I take one atom from your
body you die from cancer.

its not up to ug to prove anything and neither did he have
any interest in doing so. there's nothing to prove anyway
and nothing to understand. if you want to get nearer to

You meen accepting your dogmas?

When you forget yourself you maybe begin to grasp what is
philosophy and science and then live in harmony with nature.
No one can escape those things.

@cx:

Animals have to be violent to survive, humans don't - they
have the choice to live a different way - as we do.

Animals may appear to have choice, but it's hardly the same
as human choice. They make instinctive, impulsive decisions,
not planned choices. Whether thought is a part of that
impulse is questionable and it's irrelevant anyway, as the
question is not whether thought is right or wrong, it's
about whether it is applied correctly, or simply completely
destructive.

Naturally, there's nothing wrong with thought in the sense
of using it to ask directions, or to build a camera or a car
etc., but in the intellectual/psychological field thought is
useless and cannot solve anything, because there's nothing
to solve. All the concepts that thought creates are entirely
illusory.

The world is really not complex. Eat, sleep, fuck. That's
all the animals do and that's all you need to do to as far
as nature is concerned; survive, reproduce, die. What is
complex about that and why does it have to be more complex
than that? Instead thought has created self-awareness, which
brings about boredom, which is then filled with all sorts of
illogical, meaningless nonsense, ideas, philosophies,
cultures, etc., none of which is grounded in truth, yet
causes immense suffering, fear, and death - divorcing us
completely from our natural state.
