dude... now you've done it, you went and woke up the murbot...
I don't think that was in the script. Now, quit staring at the shadows on the cave wall and get some sleep! |

I sincerely believe that I wouldn't have met nearly the same variety of people if I had been home schooled. Why should I only spend time with people that I want to be with? I deal with plenty of people every day that aren't the kinds of people I enjoy or respect, but at least I know how to tolerate them well enough.

I started typing this and then realised that I decided to write this after my hands had typed it, which begs the question, how the hell did I know that I was going to get this confused and go round and round in circles typing what can only be described as complete tosh. This is not a post at all.. My hands are just typing away tip tappetty tap and I really have no idea what I am saying. I gues I will have to go back and read it again later so that I can actually figure out what my hands are doing while I am sitting here staring blankly at the screen.. God life is boring. I wish I got a chance to have a thought sometimes, or even control what is going on. But here I am a passenger in this mass of arms and legs and a stomach just eating pizza, smoking spliffs and snorting lines oblivious to anything other than the fact that I am trapped in this head.. I'm bored now.. You get the drift...

We chose our actions just as the bacterias do. You watch bacterias on the microscope and you think they have personal will or do you see them just reacting to whatever they are reacting to? I don't think I'm making myself clear but in the end I think it's all like a russian doll. If seen from really far away, we're just a stain on the Earth. A stain of bacteries and microbes destroying everything, reacting to its surroundings.

As someone who has recovered from depression in no small part thanks to cognitive therapy, I can tell you that you do control your actions and reactions to everything even if they're instinctual. It can be tough to catch your thoughts and eventually modify them of course. I am of the opinion that people who don't think they can control their actions are people who just don't want to take responsibility for them.
(Cue Oingo Boingo's "Only a Lad") Hope nobody minds if I simply take the original post at face value, though I know better. |

Stand in a doorway with your arms at your sides. Now keep your arms straight but slowly push them sideways until you are pressing them against the doorframe trying to lift them higher. Continue to press up and out in an attempt to move your straight arms through the doorframe until they would reach a T. Now here's the weird-absence-of-control part... get ready to have your mind totally blown... Step out of the doorframe into the room and relax your arms back to your sides. You will feel your arms lifting by themselves!!1! No way you were controlling that, dude! It's a sign that we're all puppets! Or not. Quote:

WHOOOAhoopseee, macgeek2006!... coffee anyone, yes I would like some...
The skeptical hypothesis that one is a brain in a vat with systematically delusory experience is modelled on the Cartesian Evil Genius hypothesis, according to which one is a victim of thoroughgoing error induced by a God-like deceiver. The skeptic argues that one does not know that the brain-in-a-vat hypothesis is false, since if the hypothesis were true, one's experience would be just as it actually is. Therefore, according to the skeptic, one does not know any propositions about the external world (propositions which would be false if the vat hypothesis were true). Hilary Putnam provided an apparent refutation of a version of the brain-in-a-vat hypothesis, based upon semantic externalism. This is the view that the meanings and truth conditions of one's sentences, and the contents of one's intentional mental states, depend upon the character of one's external, causal environment... hmmmmblah.

This is the first thing I thought of. Plato's Cave works too, but my god we're in trouble if MacGeek is the Philosopher King. |

Macgeek either:
a) Is in high school and just discovered the mysterious world of philosophy, somehow convincing himself that very few people have considered the things he just wrote about (even though millions upon millions have over the centuries). b) Did something he's not proud of, and in his quest for self-reconciliation has found a nifty way to dodge responsibility... c) Got a hold of some bad ganja d) Doesn't understand how the brain and nervous system works. e) Hasn't yet read the Star Trek guide to parallel universes f) All of the above ...into the light of a dark black night. |
