Solune October 4, 2016 October 4, 2016 @Solune: What do you propose they do? What should we do today? Host: The same thing we do everyday, Tulpa, try to take over the world. I propose that they take a more active role in shaping the future of humanity. In my mind, it's not good enough to have a gift. You're given a gift for a reason. Though I have adopted certain aspects of nihilism into my belief structure, I do believe in a kind of higher power. I think that higher power wants to see if we can get our shit together and continue to progress into higher levels of technology/self-awareness. Buddhism is escapism at its worst, in my opinion. They want to remove themselves from the cycle of rebirth. Which sounds all OOOHHH, AHHHH.... but really they're just trying to weasel out of doing their chores. The cycle of rebirth is the engine that drives us forward and it's our duty to see it through to the bitter end. Not to go gallivanting off into some sort of "Nirvana" where it's all astral this, unicorns and rainbows that! Imagine if you created AI in some virtual world, gave them all kinds of stuff to play with, and they decided to just sit around and hum and try to escape the simulation. Wouldn't you be disappointed? All this infinite potential and they sit around humming? I mean, I enjoy humming as much as the next guy... but you can't spend your whole life humming. You've got to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, grit your teeth, and try to do something with your life. And that's not even mentioning how ridiculous it is for a person to think they can "escape". Bruh, I'm pretty sure that any entity powerful enough to create our multiverse isn't dumb enough to just leave the door to the cage unlocked. They're never gonna get out.

tulpa001 October 4, 2016 October 4, 2016 Well, my host doesn't believe in belief, so buddhists thinking they're gonna escape is as silly as any other theory to her. For her, what she wants to be is the last one out the door. She doesn't think pain or effort is good in and of itself. We value it because it adds to our collected experience. But it would be rude to just get up and leave ahead of everyone else. I want to be by her side no matter what. Host comments in italics. Tulpa's log. Tulpa's guide.

I don't disagree with any particular point. That's basically a much less dramatic version of what I feel. Luna: D'aww at that last part =3 that's so cute. I feel the same way, tulpa001. They say you can't choose your family... but if I could have chosen my family, I still would've picked these knuckleheads.

Sock October 5, 2016 October 5, 2016 Just fixed up my bike not too long ago. It's been sitting in the garage for more than a decade, and I wanted to have something to ride around on. It's been a long time since I've done so, and I missed the experience of it. Fortunately all I had to do was replace the tires, tubes, handle grips, and kick stand. The chain was in decent enough shape and the derailleur gears functioned well. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun, and I may clean it up more in the future. Riding it around the neighborhood has been a blast, as well as pretty relaxing. It may turn in to a habit quickly. Peace. Sock Cottonwell's Sketchbook, Journal, and Ask thread. Peace
Guest Anonymous October 5, 2016 October 5, 2016 Nice! My hostie's knees are too old for bikes. One little ride around and he is like crippled for a couple of days. Oops.

KarlYoshimura October 6, 2016 October 6, 2016 I think sadness, like hatred, fear, hubris and avarice, can be good in that they provide an opportunity to teach one about oneself and human nature. In some ways, I feel these items are necessary, as they are not only present on a chemical and psychological level (most likely as an extension of our instincts) but also catalyse significant changes and incursions in one's life and even the world. For instance, the founder of the Red Cross was inspired to make a uniquely philanthropic and overtly humane organisation after witnessing sheer destruction befall property and other human beings. As a Christian, I find myself referring to Romans 9:20-24 - 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? This life of games and diligent trust, it's the things we do and the things we must. I'm now tired of being cussed, so go sleep forever, end to dust. -Crystal Castles, VANISHED
Guest Neotoma October 8, 2016 October 8, 2016 Hi. I write a lot of b*llshit in the Chat because I just can't think when all people are talking so fast. I also had a little argument with some people there even though I knew that they were right all along but I didn't want to tell them for some pretty stupid reason and ended up making some stupid excuses. After this conversation I was a little sad because I realized what stupid stuff I wrote. So is it ok if I write here instead? I read a bit of your conversation and I realized how nice you actually are so thanks tulpa001 for telling me not to delete my account because I did change my mind one again xD. It's kinda disturbing if other people know me better than I know myself... But I'm not that good with people in general ... So yeah... And... What kind of music do you like? I love songs with deep lyrics but sometimes I get an earworm from a stupid song. One of my favourite songs is "Imaginary" by Evanescence.
tulpa001 October 8, 2016 October 8, 2016 Heh, you're welcome. B) My host likes boring stuff like chiptunes and classical and soundtracks. I don't know yet, because music makes it hard for me to stay conscious. Lyrics are hard for us. Host comments in italics. Tulpa's log. Tulpa's guide.
