I think we should have a petition to demand The Shroomery reactivates danks account.

Can't give him any attention.  See what happens?  

Referring to the bolded selection, this is where you need some education on the topic.  Despite the fact that I agree with you that we are all interdependent, this does not make individuality non-existent.  The issue is that you can have simultaneous circumstances that exist despite their apparent contrariness.  Yes, we are all in this together at the same time that, no, we are not.  The differences are as real as the similarities and common ground we all share.  The problem is you leave no room for individuality when you spout your beliefs, and in doing so remove any practical substance from the conversation.  

You're exactly right, "the time is not yet right" as you mention in your response to My Name Was Taken.  If that's the case, then consider it isn't yet the right time to catalyze Universal, spiritual change within the off-topic section of a Bitcoin forum.

Also, I bet the rest of the world would not only be *much* more interested, but would flock to your festival by the *tens or hundreds* of millions if you manifested a music stage with your mind.

Dank, money is just a representation of the value of the things people create. If you don't have any, it's because you're not making anything people value.

And dankcoin will be the currency of choice.  

You're nothing but a joke to us, Sean.  You've proven your word is worthless.

A few things:

1) Try faith?  I agree.  But Jesus advised having faith the size of a "mustard seed"; mustard seeds are tiny but can grow.  Faith shouldn't be primary.

2) "If we all used our bitcoin earnings..."  What's with this "we" business?  You don't have any bitcoin earnings.  It must be nice to tell everyone else what sacrifices they should make without being capable or willing to make the same sacrifices yourself.

3) Who needs money?  Apparently you do in order to accomplish your dream.  Why not just go to bed and create the music festival in your mind if you have the ability?  If conjuring worlds and music festivals in your mind is so significant, why do you need the money?

What I don't understand is if money is so evil, and it's all derived from an evil world and committing evil acts, so much so that he can't get a job because he's a "good person" who will commit no evil, why is it OK to rely on handouts that would have certainly been earned by the evil he despises? Dank told me in another thread to quit using money and just share stuff with other people instead.

So, why don't YOU do that Dank? You need a field for your hippy commune, ask a field owner to share it with you. Don't pay him money for it. That's supporting the evil system.

No, no, no.
Genius minds speak then act out their ideas.
Foolish minds speak then do the opposite or nothing.

Watch what people do, not what they say.

1st: Why is Vod so much interested in getting back squall's money? Are you getting some share from it?

2nd: Does someone wants to bet on whether dank will return squall's money this year? Odds: Yes : 10x No: 1.3x

I'm guessing it's more the fact dank strolls around the forum like nothing has happened. Even having the gall to request more loans! Just to add insult, he preaches about greed.



So your intentions here are to weaken or destroy bitcoin?
Or are you just sulking because you flushed all yours down the toilet?

I thought you would appreciate a point-by-point response. I know I would. I know Vod would.

But one question at a time is agreeable to me.  Whatever you work out with Vod is between you two.

Here's my first question:  Do you believe that focusing on the path you wish to pursue (i.e. a life of chicken raising, guitar playing, crop sowing, and spiritual preaching) will auspiciously provide more benefit for the world/Universe than making repaying your debt to squall your primary concern?  If so, why?  If not, why not?  If you don't know, why don't you know?

I'd like you to talk about and answer the questions asked of you...to have a "great debate."  So, basically I'm asking you to stay on topic within the thread that you created.  

 

Then why did you make this thread to have a debate when you don't want to debate?

You:  Let's debate!
Us:   Okay!
You:  I prefer to talk about existence.
Us:   and/or  


Irrelevant.  You *owe* squall a set amount of money that you stated that you would pay.  You no longer are attempting to pay squall back and are therefore a thief. Accordingly, you have retained more than is rightfully yours, thereby making you a thief.  We can toss that "scam" word right out the window if it causes confusion for you.  You're a thief.


Also irrelevant.  You're a thief.  Quit bringing up things that don't matter in an attempt to pull a fast one over on me.  It's insulting, and you know I'm smarter than that.  You can get 10,000 5/5 reviews, and you'd still be a thief.  Doing 'good' many times does not absolve you from the responsibility of being honest in other situations.  You're a thief, and what's worse is that you do anything you can to justify it.


Do you think there's any possibility you found Satan instead who has deceived you?  Do you think there's any possibility that someone else in this thread may have found God but got a better view?  Do you think it's possible that maybe you did find God but didn't automatically gain the capacity to express your experiences and their implications in a consistent way?

Based upon what you've demonstrated, I can answer your questions as follows:  At this point, what I will not allow any possibility for is that you both found God and are also able to communicate the truth of what you've found in a consistent way.

Dank, your arguments are provably inconsistent and unsound, and many are flat out invalid.  There isn't anything that you could possibly to do demonstrate otherwise. Logic has rules and you break them constantly. If you're not familiar with those rules, you won't be aware you're breaking them.  For some others here, it's so stunningly clear that it warrants no explanation.  All we need to do is say, "Just look!" and it would be more than convincing.  


It doesn't make sense if 1) people repeatedly tell you that they don't want to hear it, and if 2) people prove you wrong and yet you continue to state you are correct.  That's what we call a total waste of time. You've spent hundreds of hours on this forum and have actually turned more people away from your ideas than onto them.  I don't know what part about spending several years making negative progress makes sense to you.

You also carry the actual *responsibility* of having thrown squall further into financial enslavement.


We need people who contribute to society, not who mentally masturbate all day and contribute nothing of any value.  You infinitely overexaggerate the importance of the things you say.  I'm not impressed by them.  I've said everything you've tried to say, only better (sorry, it's true) without success.  You're not a guru.  You're not a genius.  You're a stubborn fool who doesn't understand that it does not matter how right you are. Nobody even cares if you're right anymore. At this point, you could probably throw down a 100% accurate proof of God and blah blah, and NOBODY WOULD CARE.  Why would nobody care?  Because everything else you do suggests you're stupid.  Learn and adapt, or die and make way for somebody who will.

Oh, and trying to gain clarity through drugs is also insane.


Wow. Money will never bring peace.  Something I (in an ideal world) agree with.

...But you're stupid for saying it (because nobody cares...you've exhausted your cards).


Unless you want people to ignore you for the rest of your life, you might want to actually "communicate" with people instead of turning every single post into a one-way conversation wherein every the only thing you know how to talk about is what you believe in.  

This is very insulting to people. All it shows is you don't care one bit about what others think.


Ah...but not a moneyless Dank, right?  Money is only bad if everyone else has some and you don't, am i right?

What you're experiencing is jealousy manifesting itself as victimization.

Also, if a moneyless society means true freedom, why did you make 115 drug sales on Silk Road? You should have given it away.  You're a hypocrite.


And how do you suggest we do that?  Moreover, how do we get rid of your greed?

I'd argue your greed is just as bad if not worse than the elitists'.  It's people like you that allow the elitists to get away with their greed.  You -- the people who complain but never pitch in, who project their own negative qualities onto others and who needlessly play the victim and continually take without giving back -- are the larger problem.


I agree with you that the idea isn't complicated. It doesn't take any significant intelligence to recognize this.  That's why what you're saying isn't impressive.  Countless millions of people have this idea.

However, what IS complicated is fixing the problems that we have in society without everything collapsing and having tens or hundreds of millions of people die.  You're naive and you think that the world can collectively flick a lightswitch and change everything.  But, for those of us who actually have real world experience *doing stuff*, we realize that it's actually hard work, it takes time and resources, and is massively complex, and there is no perfect scenario wherein everything changes positively and you don't have any negative consequences.

TL;DR:  When I first began conversing with you, I thought you were misunderstood.  Over time, that turned into a believe that, although misguided, you still have a good heart.  Now, I *really* question your good heart, because, despite being a proven liar and thief, you still show absolutely no remorse, no concern, no sense of responsibility, etc. and you make no attempt to improve yourself or help those whom you have hurt.

Your ignorance just confirms your fear and greed.
