I consider what you call real life to be but a training ground for patience, tolerance and an appreciation of love, since neither patience, nor tolerance are required in wonderland and beyond, and love is given freely there; this is the only way to attain the experience.

reminds me of the original twilight episode, the guy arrives at the after life, fids it initially enjoyable, wins every game he plays, gets any girl he wants, but soon finds he is bored and asks if he can be transfer to hell... his host then says, what do you mean, this is hell...

 

anyone can love when all the conditions are perfect... loving when things are wrong, now that's love. :)

Mistgod and I keep failing the final exam.  :-/

Skeptical and unconvinced about independent sentience.

That's perfect Misty and Melian; those who claim victory are the only ones who have truly failed.

Everyone fails. We learn more from our losses than we learn from our victories. The only reason to have victories is to celebrate humility, and help the other team improve.

I came for the gold medal and instead I got humility. Oh yeah, that was worth training 12 hours a day for four years.

I wouldn't call cooperations giant Tulpas. You can't physically have a conversation with the McDonalds chain about your day and you can't ask Proctor and Gamble how they feel about the weather. (Forget it if you wanted to switch with them!) By "Tulpa" do you mean the mindset of the employees for these companies and how people personify their interactions with businesses in general?

 

If so, I feel like that was this guy's interpretation of what a "Tulpa" is: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/companionsonthejourney/2018/05/tulpa-good-evil-beliefs/

Cat thought one of the themes of 1984 is about how a giant thought / set of ideas or beliefs took over a human government and enslaved them, like a parasitic worm mind controlling a host snail. I wouldn't call this a Tulpa either, but I can see how this "thought", or by extension Big Brother could be thought of as one. I suppose something like an egregore would be slightly more appropriate here, only to a lesser extent.

I'm Ranger, GrayTheCat's cobud (tulpa), and I love hippos! I also like cake and chatting about stuff. I go by Rosalin or Ronan sometimes. You can call me Roz but please don't call me Ron.

My other headmates have their own account now.
