Most people view death as something that only happens to others. Most people never seriously sit themselves down and really deal with the fact that they too are going to die. We do whatever we can to distract ourselves from the thought of death. TV, Movies, Video Games, Food, Alcohol, Drugs, Sex... And even spiritual systems and religions. It is like the main point of our society is forget that we too shall die. memento mori One of my favorite stories on this subject is the fable of the Dragon Tyrant. https://www.nickbostrom.com/fable/dragon.html

I really enjoyed all the fake social media platform names and companies, followed by how until right up the last moment we all cared about trivial nonsense and celeb gossip. Oh there is a second Easter egg at the very end of the film if you didn't see it.

We tend to look movies and culture through personal lenses. My lenses are colored by my life experiences. I really relate to this movie, and not so much in regards to climate change. The absurdity of showing people absolutely undeniable facts, and then somehow they manage to do herculean level mental gymnastics to deny them. That feeling of it being so surreal, thinking certainly they have to be trolling, but coming to the realization that no they really are just that mentally broken. So based on such life experiences this movie really hit home for me. Trying to be a Prometheus figure and being punished for it eternally is something I and the rest of my friends can really relate to.

Logic, reason, and compelling evidence make for a good candle in the dark.

Maybe use a spoiler tag? Seriously though this is possibly better than Idiocracy and in the same vein.

How exactly would you know if something was really real? You need to figure out how answer this correctly before you can go about trying to ascertain if a teacher or a system is really real.

I'm really not sure what if anything more I can say about it. The future is uncertain, but in my book you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and life is always worth a shot. Ultimately you can choose to just lie down and give up or you can choose to fight no matter the odds. I choose to fight.

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” ― H.P. Lovecraft

Would you mind to break down what you mean here, I've read this several times but it sounds to me like this: Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can... I caught a reference to Dragon Ball Z, Bunnies, primitive technology but I am still not sure what all this means.

I think a lot of people are searching for enlightenment as you describe it, but others have different goals.

I think a lot of the time people love to invent all kinds of ideas on why something is impossible and can't work as justifications and rationalizations for their choices. e.g. Those grapes were probably sour anyway.

It looks like the site's owner explains that in their post of that forum titled "Welcome To The Tao Buns!"

Unfortunately this is not the correct environment to have the discussion you are wanting to have. I am waiting to get my account set up on thedaobuns but haven't heard back from the forum creator. Like I said maybe I will see you there. Love, peace and chicken grease.

You should look into cryonics it only costs $30,000.00 USD if you are able to arrange body of the transport yourself, but significantly more if require a third party to transport. The idea is that when you die, you will be cryogenically frozen, and kept that way until such a time as technology has advanced enough to repair all the damage to your body. Surely WWIII might destroy the place your body was kept, or society at large might implode due to climate or other natural disaster. A lot of people scoff at the idea, but ultimately it will either work or it won't. If your plane is crashing and all you've got is an new experimental untested prototype parachute, or nothing at all why not give it a shot? The future is uncertain, but in my book you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and life is always worth a shot. https://www.cryonics.org/membership/

A forum for daoist bunnies...

Shadow, Looks like someone created a new forum thedaobuns.com just for situations like these! Maybe I will see you there!

Please see my previous reply.

I haven't discussed my school here, to prevent situations exactly like this one. I have no wish to discuss this further with you. Best wishes on your path.
