I'm not beating myself up at all. I just won't settle for a broken and hurting world when a better option is being presented. I just chose to study that better option very carefully to see if I can bet my very existence on it. You bet it all on life being the way it is. In other words "why change it". I bet everything on a better world to come.
I lose nothing if I'm wrong. You miss out on everything if you are wrong. I'm hedging my bets lol.
I haven't expressed an opinion...how can you say I'm right or wrong?
HEY! Have you heard of the New MicroSoft HoloLENS?
why be concerned about THIS world when you can invent one of your very own?
with naked ladies...
lots and lots of unclothed, luscious, WIMMEN
who never ....er...
...well let's not go there..
Do you think that this life is it? That we should just enjoy the here and now because no other train is coming?
I was just saying IF your position is that this is all there is then there's a possibility for that position to be wrong. The same could go for my position. That's what I was trying to say.
to paraphrase what you said. what I think is irrelevant
what ANYONE thinks about the subject is irrelevant for that matter. Nothing can be done about it.
Oh...have you considered (trying to think of something crazy but not offensive)....
hmmmm
How bout this...according to an ancient manuscript that I just wrote..the path to salvation is achieved by kissing frogs. Have you ever kissed a frog? Can you afford NOT too? If you don't you might be missing out.
(reference, humorously and hopefully non offensively..to your Either/Or Fallacy logical fallacy)
Hololens is the latest and greatest Virtual Reality at the moment.
Next year there will be another latest and greatest
until Elon Musk's 'neural lace' is implemented.
And I may be missing out on kissing frogs (that's actually my first time envisioning that). All I'm interested in is what came before the frog. Because what ever created the frog is greater. And then what came before that and before that and so on.
Infinite regress is tricky. An uncaused cause works itself outbetter than the other model. This would make the uncaused cause the most powerful thing/he/she to exist.
And just curious have you ever watched the show Black Mirror on Netflix?
It's basically a modern twilight zone with a pretty high dose of tech which you seem to love.
whisky is whisky...all tastes the same to me.
I realize that is sacriledge..but there it is.
I watched part of the first episode of 'Black Mirror" on netflix.
the logical inconsistencies were overwhelming...i had to stop.
forex...in an advanced technological civilization such as depicted..
why would they still have handheld I-phones?
(neural lace is a thing)
I can NOT stand...'failure of imagination' in a SF show.
nor do I much care for Dystropias.
Dystropia's indicate not only a 'failure of imagination' but stone cold stupid writers..
I don't care to read that kind of stuff.
I want my fiction more realistic..

Hololens. Is that VR on steroids?

Think 'matrix'..but you are in charge.
Neural lace sounds painful.

nah..it'll only hurt for a little bit.
hardly leaves a scar at all.
I prefer whisky in my coffee.
Haha whisky in your coffee. Favorite brand?
