tomtrytostay: I give you my word I'll never be an op again
Tom

There is no God. There is no free will. There is no I.
All of these are an illusion.

Interestingly for me when I reviewed the science I found that both Einstein and Hawking came to the same conclusion.
I recently talked to a guy much smarter than I and he told me that actually the view that free will is an illusion is widely held within the scientific community.

And yet we hear so little in society about the non existence of free will. That's interesting to me . For if free will does not exist then what are the implications of that?

I'll do the same and together we'll see what happens.
Please though guys give me your own words and I'll do the same .


Speaking, of wondering why I'm posting this.. D-u-h?! ..It suits me? .. while my old 'Mac' is well into, showing signs, of online entropy!? <- Not, thinking about that, '24-7.' o:

Materialist: noun
1.
a person who is markedly more concerned with material things than with spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values.
The last thing you are tom is a materialist. Simply put, you are a confused dreamer, someone incapable of understanding human nature, someone who rejects all but his distorted perspective.
I come here for the entertainment value.
The tomisms.
I'm interested in this "map of your mind" that you spent years in the making. Is it a topo map, in 3D, destinations, is it like a Hollywood's guide to the rich and famous?
FYI tom equating your notion that everything is natural to meaning you're a materialist is nonsense. Try doing a little research and educate yourself. I'm aware you no longer feel the need to gain new information, but it's not to late to change your mind!
There are many, many, Many levels, of dissatisfaction in our world today, {as Always}... And, I'm reminded of the quote - "I was feeling sorry for myself, because I only had one-pair of 'worn' shoes - Until, I met a man, with No feet." ..{my own chosen solace, is that I'm Not a 'refugee' 'in limbo' somewhere.. or worse perhaps - Malnourished ..though technically.. It's conceivable, I might be!?}. [ ;
It almost, goes without saying - That there are also, Many levels, of Not knowing about something-or-other - Simply because, one isn't 'savvy' enough, to see it! o:

I'd prefer your own words though .
Please feel free to say here what you want, when you want, and I'll do the same.
I'd like to start this thread with a declaration. I won't be copy and pasting. I want this thread to be purely my own words.
I'd appreciate it if anyone that posts here also posts only their own words.
It makes for a better conversation and a purer combined consciousness.
