Cadcam Posted September 4 I thought since there's so many thinkers here, that we should join forces and create a pov and detail life from it. We would need a thesis statement, like "God is love" or "desire is suffering" Post your ideas and we'll vote! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted September 4 Weeeel... maybe he changed his mind . We could have a go at eclectically collecting a philosophical system together .... I mean, we all get on so well and never argue or have philosophical disagreements . So our ideas should fit in nicely together to make this new system . I will add some . First we had "Desire is suffering " to that I will add "existence is pure joy " ( Hmmmm ... starting to look as clear as the TTC here ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sanity Check Posted September 5 (edited) Create a fictional religion where being boring is the biggest sin. Where deities have grown tired of thousands of years of humans being predictable and mundane. Uniqueness and originality rank amongst the highest blessings mortals can receive.

Sir Darius the Clairvoyent Posted September 6 Read great books. Listen to the wise, but disregard what you dont understand/agree with. Trust yourself. Make things beautifull, create something beautifull. Create a beautifull enviorment to grow into who you supposed to be None of these are really «original,» but at least I havent plagerized something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a central thesis, one that catches the mind, and that can be used to craft other observations.

Cadcam Posted September 10 (edited) The world can be understood by contemplating and cataloging thoughts on chaos and order. Remember, chaos is an illusion, for everything is, and everything has an origin and reason. There is no chaos, just ignorance and misunderstanding. In nature there is reason, and the elements follow an order. Animal life has an order as well, and animals do not have much of a moral code. It is human beings, with their ability for logic and language, that is defined and organized by morality. Indeed, morality and moral tales define much of humanity, and the Order that controls chaos in humans can be explained by a cultures sense of good and evil. Edited September 10 by Cadcam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cadcam Posted September 13 Along with good and evil, it is worth contemplating and recognizing ones concepts of love and hate, desire, and happiness. When one understands these, and their expectations of them, they can understand much of life's actions and choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
