If you want my opinion on emotions, they’re in this ritual. I didn’t really come up with this. Some of it is based on others’ previous work and some of it I received. It helps with influence magick. I know some books with good influence magick as well if you are interested.
So you mean like the average or something? I mean I kinda get what you’re saying but that’s still variable. The whole point of statistics (kinda) is finding consistency in variance. It kinda sounds like you’re saying that more or less but your attitude is very off-putting. Maybe I sound like that sometimes. I’m not trying to prove that I’m smarter than you or something, just convey information and have a conversation. I get that it can be frustrating if you can’t have these sorts of conversations with the people around you right now, but not everyone isn’t an academic-type. I’m not anymore, but I used to be.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to use a political extremist as your prototypical philosopher, considering that he’s not a philosopher. That’s like saying you don’t respect biologists because a restauranteur with a business degree has some loud, ignorant opinions about evolution. They have nothing to do with each other. That’s not even apples and oranges, that’s apples and sawdust. Good for him for making some crypto bucks I guess though.
I don’t really know much about all the physicalism, idealism, whatever the psycho one is or whatever, but metaphysical objects do interact with each other if I’m remembering something correctly. I mean technically doesn’t “metaphysical” really mean like “what exists” or something like that in this context, so also physical stuff? Either way, emotions aren’t really physical, but I’d say they interact with things, like brain chemistry.
I don’t know what that means.
Yeah sure but presumably that means you studied the actual wheel. I mean calculus was developed independently by two different people, but they later converged. I think some people just like to use “their version” or “their words” because it makes them feel like they did something special. It’s like, this is how we all understand this, and we’re all trying to figure stuff out, why do you gotta insist on being different just to attract attention? No, the entire community isn’t going to suddenly drop all tradition and rally around you cause you arbitrarily changed some low-hanging, irrelevant fruit. Wow, I should be writing my lines.
If you are at a point where you can still attend a university, there are many scholarships available. Maybe do some money magick. Otherwise there is a growing collection of online resources produced by top university professors on pretty much every subject, from philosophy to business to programming to art, at very affordable prices. If everyone tried to do everything from 0, we’d be getting absolutely nowhere. I am more than happy to build off of other people’s contributions. That means I get to benefit from their dope shit.
You don’t have to sell-out to cash-in.
Yeah I can vibe with that.
