For instance; you slander the ego for whatever reason, but it is only the ego that has the capacity to make such value-judgements. From Nietzsche: In the first place a being capable of absolutely unegoistic conduct is as fabulous as the phoenix. Such a being is not even thinkable for the very reason that the whole notion of "unegoistic conduct," when closely examined, vanishes into air. Never yet has a man done anything solely for others and entirely without reference to a personal motive; indeed how could he possibly do anything that had no reference to himself, that is without inward compulsion (which must always have its basis in a personal need)? How could the ego act without ego? Man can act without an ego through love. Your consciousness is functional too, you know.

People troll theirself, I believe everything I post. I have grown far past the point of shoving false realities onto others. I'd rather live real life.

You guys are so caught up on money. Money isn't going to exist in 3 weeks, enjoy it. Love gives people way more power than greed ever can.
Oh Dank, your so caught up on drugs, you do make me chuckle. See below: Hello investors and the alike! I have a plan to make several millions of dollars but do not quite have the resources to begin.
Everyone is caught up on drugs, your brain is made of them. Yes, I first wanted money to change the world, what was that, a year ago? Then I learned no amount of control can make people happy.

If dank was so confident that "the universe will provide", he'd start hitch-hiking to California now instead of relying on filthy money to get him there.
That was the original plan, will get to it if I don't get a bike here shortly.

Fgervais, you are welcome to live a normal human life and die a normal human death. I'm god, I will live forever because I found my soul and I believe I will, my ego is already dead.
Anyone can be god, you just have to believe in yourself and you can do anything you choose.
|
|
|
So wait, are you or aren't you a fool for saying you're god? Seriously, get you delusions straight, at least.
Why are you asking me to judge myself? Am I a fool for believing I'm god and curring my depression? We are all god.

dank, people aren't concerned about the fact that you dropped acid and it gave you a new perspective which allowed you to be more positive about your life. You won't find any shortage of people here or elsewhere who've had that experience.
What does concern people is that you seem a bit "stuck" in that experience to the extent that you believe things which are potentially harmful to you - for example, that you could survive long-term without food. Nobody wants you to be the person who died because you didn't come down from your last acid trip. Yeah, believing that you can organise a major music festival in a few weeks and finding out that you can't might make you question your new belief system and lose the certainty which underpins your new-found optimism, but it's not likely to have a catastrophic impact on you.
What people are concerned about is that you don't seem to have integrated your "mystical" experiences in a manner which accommodates objective reality and denying objective reality can put you at risk of real world harm. We've already seen one example of where you were going to take a course of action which was potentially catastrophic. I'd rather not see you decide that you can fly or that next time you're tripping you're going to prove that you can breathe underwater.
How about, you live your life, don't worry about mine? I'll eat or not eat whatever and whenever I like. Anything is possible, if you do not believe this, you do not understand that you are god. You are concerning yourself on a nonexistent problem you're manifesting in your own reality. If playing guitar and telling people love is the answer to happiness isn't integrating what I learned enough, please, tell me what more shall I do? Life is potentially catastrophic, either cower in fear or take control over your life and believe in yourself.

Love is finding that the neural and algorithmic connections between thought centers are synergistically augmented by air-gapped external devices.
It doesn't matter how you describe love, it still exists.

That's odd, I wasn't even planning on naming it Dank Festival.
Since you trolls want to stoop to this level, why don't I shed some light on the situation?
My name is Sean, I overcame my teenage depression by finding love, thinking positive, changing my mind. For the first time in years, I was truly happy this spring. I took a trip with Lucy at the beach, found my soul, and now I'm doing something with my life. I fell in love with a girl, for the first time. Everyone can do the same. You can call people all the names you want, it doesn't change their actions, and it doesn't change yours.
I'm a loving individual that loves for everybody unconditionally. I play music and make people happy, I'm gonna keep on loving. If you think such an action is deranged, perhaps you should reconsider your life persepctive.
To anyone whom may not have noticed, these trolls, real opinions or not, are clearly doing anything they can to stop the message of love from spreading. Love means no more greed, no more problems, no more hate, some people don't like that.

You can't hate and love at the same time.
False. I love my car because it rewards me with freedom. I hate my car because it's a massive drain on money. So which is it, do you hate your car or love it? You cannot be happy and sad at the same time. You cannot be greedy and sharing at the same time. It's not about why you feel a certain way, it's about which way you feel.

Nothing is normal. Don't you get it? Words like normal or stupid are all subjective to each individual's perception and totally useless in regards to anything.
I describe the function of the universe, you call me a label. Even if my beliefs were totally wrong, I'm providing humanity with a theory that makes sense. Who's whacked out? Please, tell me how I am wrong, all you're doing is name-calling kids.
This is karma is action. Greedy people make a greedy society where money is nothing and forcibly stolen in the form of taxes, then a few generations down the line, the youth realize how fucked up society is and want to live their life how they want. Not how their 'superiors' want. Either kill everyone that dreams of freedom, kill your children, or stop creating an illusion of control and fear over others and let everyone live life with their freewill.
Guess what? If money was gone, you could still go to work, you could still live comfortably, you could still be happy. You just couldn't be Mr. Rich guy (label) because nobody would give a fuck (as people really don't now).
We are all neighbors, we are all a family, end the division, judgement and greed.

I really question why these functioning adults can't have a real, intelligent, meaningful, conversation with an 18 year old.
Or is it that they don't want to?

Ego is the source of all things negative. Ego is the concept of self. Greed.
If 'ego' is the concept of self, that is, to an extent, a 'source' of negativity, but it's debated as to whether or not the self creates negativity, merely experiences it from an external object, or can even be perceived as 'willed' negativity-- or perhaps deterministic 'negativity' that, if it is inevitable, cannot be of much of a 'negativity' in-itself, for why moralize destined phenomenons at all? What I'm really saying here is this: You cannot appear very philosophical when your 'truths' are merely vague cliches-- so presumptuous and broad that your thoughts all amount to superficiality. What do you not understand? When you dream, everything is one, together, it's your consciousness. Life is divided, we function as humans with our ego. Ego is what makes us human, it's doubt, it's reason, it's fear. It's everything but love. You can't hate and love at the same time.

Well of course working sucks. But it's a requirement.
Work a 8-10 hour day and you really enjoy that family time so much more. If all I did was sit on my ass and wait for others to give me money. I would go mental..
But it's not a requirement, it's a choice. You can do more than sit on your ass if you're out of work, like, I don't know, explore earth?
