Mabus November 28, 2012 Share November 28, 2012 Are we god's tulpas? All of my posts, as well as any posts authored by my tulpa(s), are completely fabricated. Nothing I write is to be taken as either fact or evidence of fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungan Ninja November 28, 2012 Share November 28, 2012 Given that you see these same "symptoms" in people when they are arguing which gaming console is better does this mean that PS 3 and X-Box 360 are in fact those morons that fill comments section on YouTube videos with posts written with Caps Lock on? Those sorts of scum people would apply in this case. Some central themes of rejection would be: -Intolerance towards other viewpoints -Dishonesty about their interactions -The practice of self deception; believing their own lies -Show anxiety when others are indifferent towards their opinions Relative to all this, highlights quite a few similarities between the two groups. Day 290 (11/6/2013) Why even keep the time anymore? Can the cryogenically frozen live again? The first step in creating a tulpa is believing that it exists.

Gray November 30, 2012 Share November 30, 2012 How would they apply? Central premise of the video you posted is that the believer is in a quite literal way the God he or she believes in; if the people from my post apply that would mean they literally are PS 3 or X-Box 360.

Obviously you forget to note that we do not become "real" gods, but rather emulate their ideals and defend the god as if we were personally offended by something that is said about them. And what I said about the fanboys is true, despite it coming off as fatuous. For instance, (from the context of a fanboy) being offended by a comment that is negative towards your dedicated video-game console is taken personally, and warrants a pointless, fervent argument from you explaining why your console is better than everyone else. I know a few too many fanboys that act in that way, and they are scary people. Coincidentally (not), I have found many of my ultra-fundamentalist acquaintances act identically, I see it as no coincidence, sir. Day 290 (11/6/2013) Why even keep the time anymore?

You don't see it as a coincidence because it is not a coincidence, but what you fail to see is why fanboys acting the way do is an argument against the hypothesis from the video you posted. When you make a comment that is negative towards their console fanboys act the same way some religious people act when you make a comment that is negative towards their God, but we know that the thing fanboys are dedicated to is an actual physical object and not a "profound, dynamic relationship with the self". Now either we will draw the conclusion that the same behavior, triggered by the same stimulus in these two group occurs for completely different reasons or we will draw the conclusion that the reason for the behavior is not because the object of the devotion is a "profound, dynamic relationship with the self" as that is impossible in the case of the fanboys.

Nonsense December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 It is possible that someone has made up some personality embodying God for themselves that operates like a tulpa does, in which case, he would be. But that is only on an individual basis, it would not be some collective conscious that it looks like everyone wants to believe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
