Then tell me, what is the system you propose will live in?

You seem to talk as if our capitalistic society isn't even close to the best we can do. Go on, I'll be waiting.

I can say one simple thing that you can not argue.

Humans' irresponsible behavior - as a whole - is the only reason why the horrible capitalistic system exists. It would not exist if people weren't being children in denial - hiding away in their piles of excuses and lies - forcing all of their greater responsibilities on others.

People want to raise their kids a certain way. What made you decide that you knew "HOW to properly go about the situation"?

You really aren't the next Plato just because you say so. Plato's only famous because other people recognize him. More people have criticized you than accepted your advice. so in my opinion you've failed, as you've created more frustration than enlightenment, which is the opposite of your intent. Rught now, the people you've helped is shadowed by the people who you've pissed off. That number is just going to increase because Newgrounds is a terrible site to post stuff like this.
PLEASE, GO TO A REAL PHILOSOPHY FORUM, MOST OF THE POSTERS IN THIS THREAD DISLIKE YOUR PHILOSOPHIES AND WON'T CHANGE. MAYBE PEOPLE THERE WILL LIKE YOUR PHILOSOPHIES BUT NOT HERE.
TELL ME WHY YOU STILL POST HERE WHEN MOST PEOPLE TELL YOU TO STOP AND HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THEY'LL NEVER CHANGE.

I do know better than that narrow-minded drivel they spew. Let alone the fact they only think they are right when every one has a voice to use. Especially when they rather have their pride than respect the safety of a child's mind and the difficulty they are going through. I'm sick of this rational love people have and expect people to not break down in this world where people are afraid of admitting that every one is never 100% sane - we just hide it, and *Insert all this imperfect advice they expect you to follow when they only end up not following their own advice to begin with*. Saying I know better than them isn't being arrogant... You really have a narrow sense of arrogance.

I don't care if people attempt to criticize me. They aren't right and they only criticize themselves by their failed attempts to conjecture my ethos without good reason. People are free to interpret me as they wish, but a human being is not a book or the cover a book. Since even reading an entire book will result in bias and subjectivism. Just like I am able to judge people with my own interpretation. They only throw a fit because I actually know how to dismantle somebody and NO I do not care about their personal space. If they are going to be just like that step-father and think they are always right - ignoring the problems they cause to arise - I will crush them with the truth. : )

No. I will not leave. :D I don't care if you don't want to leave. Unlike you, I can feel the pressure and people trying to reason and NOT troll me. There are still people on Newgrounds I am interested in communicating with. : )

You're an attention whore who wants recognition from a group of people who don't give a fuck about philosophy and have made that very clear to you and yet you still post. Then when people don't like you or you find something you don't like or understand you call them ignorant and don't even research it any deeper. You can't just call something ignorant, you have to have reasons why. If I called YOU ignorant right off the bat with nothing to back it up, it's meaningless.

Of course because I don't just call myself that. I live it. I have never been an attention whore. I have always enjoyed doing things from the shadows, but now I HAVE to do quite a few of things before I get my name out there, and it requires me to come out from the shadows. They are ignorant because they do exactly what you accuse me of doing. : ) They only SAY it, but they do not EXPLAIN it.

You're ignorant because you are irrational, narcissistic, an attention whore, you don't back up your accusations, you call yourself a philosopher like you deserve a fucking medal, you think you know better than everyone else even though you probably don't, you act like your common accomplishments that anyone can do with minimal effort are proof that you're the next plato, you CALL yourself the next plato with no proof, you've denounced science and logic even though it's been proven to help people, and when you try to get people to jack off your attention boner you call them all ignorant and blame it on hatred of philosophies. Philosophies are fine by me, but you're just an asshole. A big, stubborn, narcissistic asshole. I wish there was some way for me to show you what an ass you're being, but you're just too up your own anus to see anything but your own shit. You think your shit is the only way, you think you know better, but you don't. Please, stop trying, you're not a philosopher. You have a god complex. To prove it:

Irrational? No. Narcissistic? Hell no. Attention whore? I am the anti-thesis of that as a whole! I do back up my accusations, is you guys who are conditioned out of the ass to accept only things SOLID when everything you EVER thought was solid is NOT solid. My words are NO more as real as your words, but my INTENTIONS are. Your intentions are focused on personal matters in a pseudo reality. My intentions are far GREATER than that.

STEP ONE:

SEND YOUR PHILOSOPHIES INTO AN ACCREDITED ESTABLISHMENT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
DO IT, ARE YOU SCARED?
IF YOU DON'T I'LL POST THE LINKS TO ONE OF YOUR THREADS TO A LEGIT UNIVERSITY OR SOMETHING TO PROVE TO YOU'RE NOT A REAL PHILOSOPHER!

Scared of what? I wouldn't even be scared if you sent mere threads to a 'legit' university where a bunch of 'legit' people who are 'book smart' read my LEGIT works. By saying that, you only tell me you have absolutely no doubt that my philosophy is bullshit when that is no different than any religious person who says ''You will never make me change my mind'' that is their DEFENCE, because they THEMSELVES fear doubt itself.

STEP TWO:

WHO HERE HAS BEEN POSITIVELY AFFECTED IN ANY WAY BY INSANCTUARY'S PHILOSOPHIES AND HAS USED THEM IN THEIR DAILY LIVES? EXPLAIN WHY OR WHY NOT?

I hope this helps you see what a jackass you are, but it probably won't.

A jackass? If you keep taking my words the wrong way, you will only read jackass. I am not a jackass.

Some people are better online.
My mom's professors want me to write a book and compliment my ability to reason at a very high-quality level in a fair-minded way.
My professor told me to write a spy novel once because of my creativity.

Fair enough. I didn't expect some professors' interests to automatically make you understand me.

I have taqlked to cops as if they weren't even wearing their uniform and they would talk to me as if they weren't even on their job.
Not really impressive, if you get passed the uniform cops are normal guys and some are really easy to talk to, especially if you haven't committed a crime.

To the point they question everything? I've made them question their own principles.

I have talked to random by-passers and some of us engaged in some interesting discussions.
Still not impressive, that's just being friendly. Most people can do that.

No, it is about the impact my questioning has on them. They end up questioning thigns like never before. : ) They really enjoy my simple-minded free thinking.

Sometimes I find myself in situations where I am being the man of the house of a friend's house, and the distortion you see appear on the ignorant parent's face is something to be amused by.
That's kinda dickish. I don't know the situation, but being invited into other people's houses and telling everyone what to do like you have a right and you know better then they do. You might actually not know better. I mean there's about as much a chance of them being right as you are. Plus, if someone came into your house and told you what to do and that they're right would piss YOU off, right? You also could have caught them on a bad day. It could not be bad all the time. Or you could have overreacted to nothing.

You know what else is dickish? Narrow-minded adults who do not let anyone else have a say in the house, because they want to be the arrogant alpha-male. There was a child involved, and I was telling them HOW to properly go about the situation. They are the ones who now have a child that gets in trouble and doesn't listen to them at all. I tried to help, but the reall jackass of the house turned a deaf ear because of their dogmatic religions.

They may have their pseudo life, their job, and family, but that does NOT mean their ideas should be respected. Irrelevant Actions /=/ Ideologies
THAT'S being obnoxious. The thing is, just because you call yourself a "philosopher" doesn't mean YOUR ideas should be respected. In fact, you haven't shown me one real reason you should be trusted or listened to over other people.

Actually, I never said they should. It is the fact that they turn a dead ear. When my voice and other's voices have just as much say and I FOR ONE understand children more than adults ever can. I understand how hard it is to communicate on an adult's level. I also knwo the pressure and how you choke up on words while they are yelling at you and only making shit worse than it already is. I can feel the disposition between the characters like I can actually see the bar over their heads saying ? / ??? 1 - 100. I can see what they are thinking underneath their fake facades. I'm not just some average person who does these things there is always a BIGGER picture to my actions ALWAYS. I'm always piecing things together from the very start. Have you not seen some of my threads I've made? The titles are actually a hint that I'm going to get someone to act in a specific way. And it worked, because I DO know have a cunning acumen.

No, not exactly. But then again, there are alot of people who get awards for stupid things. So it works both ways.
Yes, but there is such thing as non stupid awards. Most of America has this "pseudo life" and it's probably survived because it works to a degree. It might not perfect, but it's not terrible.

Not understanding my point. They also give stupid awards. Meaning, their standards are skewed.

Hope this helps. : )
It's showed me that you think you know better than everyone else just because you can do common things. You think you can tell other people how to live, but you really can't. If they are living life wrong, who cares? It'll be their lives fucking up and not yours. You really haven't done anything major to prove to us that you are above anyone else. I've done all the stuff you've claimed makes you great aside from the "telling other people what to do like a jackass while as a guest in their home" one. Your philosophies are really not going to help people that much. You try to bury your messages in complex symbolism and overly worded sentences, but they're really quite pointless. You're calling yourself the " next great philosopher" and it's really annoying.

No. I just KNOW that my ideologies could've saved that kid from his stupid step-father. I will always speak my mind, and voicing my opinion in someone else's house IS RESPECT. I'm only disrespecting my entire race by lying to myself and letting shit happen when I feel it inside me ALL of the ways this situation COULD'VE been handled. I watched my brother changed, I watched how many mistakes my parents made. Now, today, everything I ever warned them about HAPPENED. I wonder why? I am the next great free thinker. I don't want to be a philosopher. I WANT to speak my mind! And I know that everything I have ever done only meant well. I have been making golden decisions ever since I can remember. I hardly ever make the wrong choice because I am again, not your average individual. : )

You can not accept that I have more experience in life than you do. You are too busy distracting yourself with man-made nonsense while I am disciplining my mind and body and becoming more and more intune with life as a whole. I am a level 99 with all the max gear and weapons, and the only thing I have left, is the never-ending experience. You are a noob with low-level gear.

Can you really blame me for choosing to train day in and day out to achieve my position? Or are you going to be that younger brother that envies his older brother for always making the right decisions?
I'm currently in perfect position for my future. I'm further ahead in my technical courses than people who've coasted through the class for three years, this is my first. I'm already a certified PC technician, work out regularly, and eat a healthy diet. I have a girlfriend who I've been dating for 2 years. I also have my spirituality all sorted out.

Where is your future? How can you call that your future, when you are only interacting with a man-made system? Where is YOUR future? We don't get our own futures. We are forced to live this pseudo reality rather we like it or not. Why else must I acknowledge the cold truth? That I can not fight, I can not hide nor can I lie about it all to make it go away. All I can do is live as much of myself as I can in a reality that chews you up and spits you out if you do not fit its low standards.

My parents are rapidly approaching the upper class both financially and socially. I've been all around the US and am planning to start globetrotting this summer. I've already taken two college courses, and am on an advanced technical diploma with just two years to go, all of which is planned out. All my friends have my back, and I have theirs.

Again, what I am saying is, you and your parents are playing pretend in a pseudo-reality. As much as I acknowledge this, I still reluctantly interact with this cold system, but I do not ever let it become a part of my life. It is one chapter in my life's book that I have to make. We aren't surviving in a jungle with rabid animals, superstitious crazies, and people who aren't as controlled and reasonable anymore. We are in a time where things could've been made differently, but instead, we still pretend that materialism is the only way to get people to work, by force and extortion. When that FUTURE you spew around like its some 'better' thing than what you have now, exists in no other place then your own inner self. What you DO is what MAKES YOU. Not this man-made system that doesn't care about YOU, it doesn't even care about what is IN YOU, it only cares about if you can MEET ITS STANDARDS. Some of the standards require you to sacrifice much of your life and energy for something - again - we are only playing pretend when we, and this world is never playing pretend...

I've got all the keys, all I have to do is get to the age where I can open the locks. You have baseless assumptions you actually believe, I have baseless assumption just to poke fun at you. I'm on these forums to entertain myself, you're here to start a cult.

No. You are destroying the only key that ever mattered for a bunch of facades. My assumptions are not baseless, because I am on the side of the ONLY THING that is real. You are the one who is tickling the phantom.

Sure, you may love your life, but you'd have one hell of a time loving it more than I love mine.

What part of you do actually love? Do you really think that these facades are real? You are conditioned to believe this, but that does not change the alactual fact that all of this is coming from the standards of a race that is filled with errors and also problems. These problems are actually what encourage these cold systems. Those people who make profit off of your misfortune and hard work are compensating what they lack with this pretend system. You are only inadvertently encouraging cowards and children in adult bodies. I do not blame you. You are only doing what you THINK is best, and I admire that you'd much rather do that than to sit on your ass and do nothing. But, in the end, in ALL FACTUAL SENSE, you are doing absolutely nothing with your inner, and genuine life that you are trading for this man-made system of lies and facades.

How do they work together? There is no way a Christian and an atheist can truly get along. Maybe when they are kids and do not take their beliefs to a broader spectrum, but as they grow older, their ideas will latch onto their POV and these ideas will meet inevitabel confliction.

Kind of reminds me of this experiment where they tried to see what the brain would pick when given some word. There would be a word like "palm" which could be referring to the hand or a tree. It's been a while since I read about it and my google searches failed, not an easy thing to find words to search lol. Anyway when the brain was unconscious or something like that, no choice was made about what palm meant, even when the other words in the group were meant to sway the answer. Only when the person was conscious (or whatever it was) did they decide which meaning to give to "palm". It was about the effect the observer has on the world.

Sounds interesting. I understand it, I believe. The reason why the brain did not pick either or, is because the brain is prompted by an abstract language of its own. A palm of your hand or a palm tree was manifestated with our ability to interact with our world via experiences and action. Our abstract mind does not correlate with our conscious system. They only co-exist. Everything we create on the surface will only be broken down the deeper you go inside the ocean, because the deeper you go, the heavier the pressure. The external part of us can not survive down there - only our internal abstract manifestation can interact with the deeper functions of our mind.

I hope that makes sense. I feel as though I was having difficulty putting that in words.

Trying to live life while your actions only speak for your lack of experience is being pretentious and snotty and also very irresponsible. You can not expect to know you have control over your life and make the right choices in a reality that is a pandemonium in and of itself.

Why not let others tell you how to live your life if you don't even know how to live life yourself? If they have more experience - and speak the language of life - you should be able to guide others.

You read between the lines far too much. I never said or implied or thought you made philosophy look bad. I just said you don't represent what most people (including other philosophers) take the term "philosopher" to mean. It's just confusing to call yourself a philosopher when you are so distinct from almost all other philosophers. Plato wasn't "his own teacher", he was a pupil of Socrates. But like i said, i don't think you care about other philosophers.

You may not, but others do disregard me as a philosopher.

Which of Plato's works have you read? What do you know about Buddha?

Plato - the 'allegory of a cave' theory of his. Plato was under the impression that people only applied shape to the shadows casted by the fireplace. These people were chained to the wall and were unable to see the fireplace and the illusion they applied to these shadows they only saw as pseudo-figures. My free thinking allowed me to expand on this very theory. Instead of leaving it as blunt as 'only applying form to these shadows' I broadened the theory by simply saying 'it is not that they were applying shape to that of what they think they saw. These shadows they saw were abstract mirrors that reflected off what was within them. They weren't applying form to these shadows, the shadows were reflecting off of the abstract form inside the chained person's inner manifestation fo being.

Bhudda - to be frank, I think Bhudda was very wise, but was also very dodgy. Bhudda was a wise turtle, but nothing more. He hid inside his wise shell, and taught those through his shell. Bhudda was afraid of conflict and tried to break one of the natural antithesises of life - chaos. Bhudda hid in artifical light and never stepped in true darkness. This is why I disagree with many of his beliefs that only focused on peace and prosperity - while every day clearly contradicts that principle of Bhudda. Yes, I already do understand that there is a difference between chaos constrcuted by nature itself and chaos constructed by mankind. Nature's chaos is inevitable. Mankind's chaos is avoidable. The simple fact of the matter is, Bhudda can not truly speak of life as a whole if he did not attempt to face the ugly part of reality. His ideologies only rest on one aspect of life while the other aspect was poorly heeded. For an example of Bhudda's dodgy analysis for the chaotic side. Bhudda once said that life is of suffering. Life is not of suffering, because suffering is a subjective experience that is only based off your own inability to fight off of the negative aspects that infiltrate your inner psyche. We can choose to battle our inner conflicts. Bhudda only wanted the light and peace. Bhudda did not see that we are both the monster and the master. There will always be inner conflict within ourselves, but we will also always have the cognitive will to face and capitalise on these flaws of our waking lives the best that we can.

I'm an insane douche?

I apologize for being an insane douche in your eyes. I'd much rather be myself in my own eyes, than worry about being a disgrace in God's eyes, or an insane douche in your eyes.

Philosophy /=/ Satire

Self proclaimed philosopher. Alright, that is a good start. It isn't philosophy. It is me. Can you stop with the accusations and tell me exactly why you think of me as a self proclaimed philosopher? Would it help if I said I'm a free thinker?

A gay guy was introduced to her (because everyone thought she was a gay dude), and she said, "I think there's a mistake. I'm not gay." But she went there looking for a female date...Am I missing something? Or was I focusing too much on her, and not the dude or something?

Hey! You should visit my thread about obstructivism where people can convince themselves beyond the folds of our reality's actuality! The girl convinced herself that she is not a girl, but a dude. Thus, the gay guy saw her as a chick, but she convinced herself otherwise!

:D She is a 'straight' GUY-girl.

Is it because it makes your life so meaningless?

1. Darth Vader is dark. Why isn't it called a darksaber?

2. Batman would make a fool out of Derp Vader by handing him an inhaler.
