we perceive what is real by the stimulation of our senses by the physical world.if we can taste,smell,see,touch,hear something we assume that it is real. but what about when you hallucinate on drugs you physically can see,hear,etc hallucinations that are supposedly not real because you took drugs but you still perceived them and experience them. i think that just because we experience something with our senses doesn't make it real. i think humans manifest their own reality. so i think its possible that everything and nothing is real. its just what ever you want it to be.
ego
we still percieve ourselves singularly. our bodies cannot be in the same place in space at least not in our dimension. my thoughts and emotions,desires,etc. are different from everyone elses. but when i die idk i wont be "me" anymore ill be everything and nothing supposedly.
not trying to be nihilistic
but nothing will matter cuz who you think you are will not exist in physical reality when you die. all yer sucess' failures, money or whatever you did in yer lifetime wont be real anymore. even if yer "soul" still lives on you wont be you. you will be that soul. you wont be john doe anymore because "he" is limited to his physical body and when his body dies he might still exist but he wont be himself anymore he will be something else or someone else. there are no winners in the game of life everyone loses in the end so all that matters really is whether or not you had fun playing the game.

as long as government exists then people will always be slaves. if there is always someone over us influencing our desicions then we are not free. dont follow anyone who thinks they know what is best for you better than you do. democracy, totalitarianism, communism its all the same. the only goverment is just slaves and masters.which are you?
everyone
anyone who has an opinion on anything is a philosopher we just express it in different ways. we are all philosophers.

thanks for the hostility but i dont think you understood the question or i didnt ask it properly but i just wanted someones opinon on the significance of absolute nothingness,non existence. i see nothing as an optimistic concept because it leaves existence so much potential to be anything. a blank canvas has more potential to be anything than a canvas that has already been painted on. am i way off?

i wouldnt say the poor are poor because they choose that life because obviously everyone wants to be rich. i wouldnt say the rich earned their wealth either alot of people are born into money and they invest it making them richer. society is designed so that there is such a thing as the people who have and the people who dont have. its heirarchy its been this way for thousands of years. after SOMEONE has to work the cash register at 711, someone has to clean yer shit when the toilet breaks and someone has to act like they have more value than other people because they dont have to work for what they have it falls in their lap. its unfortunate that people focus all their time and energy on money but if you choose to be a slave then thats your decison.

wow the collective unconscious is an amazing concept its just more evidence that we are all connected.

the world wont be able to sustain humans for much longer. nature will balance things out eventually. one day our civilization will be a myth just like atlantis. i dont think it will be the end of humans i think it will be the begining of the newly evolved humans.

hmm thank you. im not claiming i know what happens when you die. when you break a glass cup the result is just pieces of glass, even though it used to be a cup it isnt anymore.

i thought this site was an open place for ideas to grow and be exchanged. not a place for people to attack and refute others ideas. very dissapointing.
.
who is this? im just a "dumb hippie hobo wannabe"? this must be someone i know lol because there is no way some random dude on the internet just guess that. well if yer a friend anonymously talking shit or a dude somewhere i still love you.

its funny you mention carl jung is was just reading about him and freud today. thanks ill definatley check out joseph campell and hinduism.
.
thanks for the support you have a friend here as well. its my fault i take things personally too often when i shouldnt waste my time on negativity. but i appreiciate whirlwinds opinion none the less

we are as capable of doing good deeds just as we are capable of doing bad deeds unfortunately
questions
i hope we never find out all the answers of the universe there would be no fun left lol. i think our perception of the world is the daily struggle of good and evil in our minds. i think whoever we let win will control our outlook on the world. i do disagree with violence and goverment in general but i still find the earth a swell place despite its setbacks.
............
we have to accept the possiblity that there is no point to life. but that would give us the freedom to give it a meaning.
and
how is this affecting our evolution? if the weak who in nature would die, pass on their offspring how is this affecting future generations?
in 1982
alain aspect discovered that subatomic particles can instantly communicate with each other regardless of distance. they are connected no matter what the conditions are. we consist of electrons along with protons and neutrons so mabey we are connected to all other matter too...........
.........
we have to have a contrasting background of nothing to realize we are something
.............
but animals protect their weak they dont leave them behind. they look out for their own kind. i think compassion is in their nature. remember the gorilla that adopted the kitten? it loved that kitten!
......
i think mankind is more productive and overall happier when we are peacefully working together to make the world a better place instead of blowing each other up.

i just was wondering what people thought about it, im not looking for life advice. it is a pretty apocolyptic storm. there is definatley bad vibes all around it. i can see how it would relate to my life at this moment but loosely.idk
posing a question
i wasnt talking about conspiracy theories i agree alot of them are bullshit but logically would a third world country who is struggling economically really have the manpower and funding to go to war with america? who has nuclear capability? a very long history of "winning" wars with few exceptions. america has the capability to pay for war(funded by the tax payers) america has spent $935,387,752,259 (and counting) on the war on terrorism since 2001.you can write this off as a conspiricy theory cuz if I say it must be a lie but i would advise everyone to look up this information it is public info not an opinion. if the internet says it it must be a lie cuz the news is the only form of media that tells the truth these days.
