[saint-augustines-pears]

Actually, no, we should know what a woman is. If you’re going to challenge a term, you have to come up with a new definition. If we are going to have a rational conversation, all terms must be defined.

If woman doesn’t mean adult female human, what does it mean? If you’re getting defensive reading this, that’s a problem. You should be able to know what you’re arguing for. You should be able to tell people what you’re arguing for. Otherwise, what the fuck are you even doing? Why are you arguing about something that, if undefined, logically does not exist?

I would love for everyone to be happy. Delusion is not happiness. I need to know whether this is delusion or not.

#philosophy #what is a woman #what is it #define your fucking terms losers #you cannot claim to be right if your claims are on irrational grounds #I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK YOURE TALKING ABOUT #YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK YOURE TALKING ABOUT #if you do please fucking tell me #seriously just tell everyone #if you don’t #maybe that’s something you should think about #gender critical #what other tags should I add #rational #logic

The universe itself — and the Mind behind it — is insane. Therefore someone in touch with reality is, by definition, in touch with the insane: infused by the irrational.

Any philosophy that begins with the assumption that humans are rational creatures is built on quicksand. -- Michael Lipsey

Neither life nor happiness can be achieved by the pursuit of irrational whims. Just as man is free to attempt to survive in any random manner, but will perish unless he lives as his nature requires, so he is free to seek his happiness in any mindless fraud, but the torture of frustration is all he will find, unless he seeks the happiness proper to man. The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

I'm more and more often getting bursts of 2000-2010s nostalgia and it is a different type of feeling than 1990s nostalgia

#txt #early 00's nostalgia is the constant realization how long ago it was #but also how it seemed to be a better balance between technological advancement and the pace of life #00s were... #livable #rational #slow #tolerable #if i could get to live for eternity in a period of time of my chosing i would choose early 00s #take me back to shady electronical stores please

"If faith cannot be reconciled with rational thinking, it has to be eliminated as an anachronistic remnant of earlier stages of culture and replaced by science dealing with facts and theories which are intelligible and can be validated."

Parts of the Mind

Conscious Mind 4 parts of the Conscious Mind – rational, analytical, will power and temporary memory.

The Conscious Mind is where we spend most of our time, but it is actually the weakest part of our mind. It’s the thinking, judging part of the mind. Our ability to rationalise our actions is what keeps us sane. But, our rational mind is not always correct, however, as long as it can come up with some reasoning for our actions, we will be at peace. Our analytical mind recognises problems and it figures out how to fix it. Will power is in our Conscious Mind. It is only temporary. It gives us short bursts of energy to help us get through a mental situation, but then it fades away. It cannot affect internal change. The last part of our Conscious Mind is our temporary memory. It is so limited. This memory we need and use in our daily lives, like remembering where we live and people’s names. Conscious mind can only hold very small amounts of information at one time.

Subconscious Mind Subconscious mind is divided into imagination, permanent memory, habits, feelings and emotions, beliefs.

The Subconscious Mind is the most powerful part of our mind. It is in control and it will help you to achieve your goals.

Imagination is more than just creativity. Imagination is also our perception of the world around us and everybody’s perception is different. Everyone’s perception is the truth to them.

The Subconscious Mind is also home for our permanent memory. Every piece of data ever received through any of our five senses is stored in our Subconscious Mind. So, starting from when we were in the Womb everything we hear, feel or experience leaves an imprint on us. Then we begin to build a database of information that develops into beliefs and habits, and all of this develops who we are today. We will think our next thought, act our next action and feel our next feeling based upon everything that has happened in our past.

Habits, feelings, beliefs and emotions are also stored in the Subconscious Mind.

Unconscious Mind

Our autonomic Nervous System is things we know how to do automatically such as breathe, eat, our heart beat, and blood circulation.

We are happy when people/things conform and unhappy when they don't. People and events don't disappoint us, our models of reality do. It is my model of reality that determines my happiness or disappointments.

The Myst Island Recreation Initiative, shortened to MIRI, was a project launched in 2003 by a handful of people who were active on the Myst Community forum. At the time the plan was to build it in a sea or large lake. It was not meant to be a commercial enterprise so much as a retreat for fans of Myst. No funding had been secured, so it seems the most that was ever accomplished was some fun world-building designs. The website is an utter ghost town since 2004.

The idea that a single woman might think of herself as the equal to a man was derided by the late nineteenth-century radical thinker and poet Edward Carpenter, who said in 1897 that spinster feminists were 'out of line . . . Such women do not altogether represent their sex; some are rather mannish in temperament; some are "homogenic", that is inclined to attachments to their own sex rather than the opposite sex; such women are ultra-rationalising and brain-cultured; to many, children are more or less a bore; to others, man's sex-passion is a mere impertinence, which they do not understand, and whose place they consequently misjudge.'
