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. : )

The sheer amount of misinformation that is in this response of yours is terrifying!

Bgraybr, you should be ashamed of this response.

I hope you do not have kids.

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.

Philosophy is just sarcasm spoken by a self proclaimed smart person.
The only legitimate way to answer the mysteries of life is through a hands-on approach.

You're right, I can't argue that, because it makes no sense. Humans have irresponsible behavior, you mean they have flaws, have emotion that is varying, and are not perfect according to any one person's perspective? Wow, what a revelatoin, and what does that have to do with anything I was talking about? Oh, and it's because of that that our Capitalistic system exists? Now this is were the "doesn't make sense" part really comes in. Our Capitalistic system exists because of a need to be able to live and progress with sustainability and comfort. Without a system like this and we either live in a tribal system, or the solitary nature system I told you about earlier. Our capitalistic system beats those other two by miles, we live a much more comfortable life than any African tribe or mountain man. And you take it all for granted because you don't know any better.

No, it is because humans are convinced they are animals who are subjugated by their biology. They do not discipline their mind and bodies, but instead worry about death and 'live life to the fullest' while creating the exact antithesis of it. They are controlled by their own reality's facades and worry about the lies that tell them how to live their lives. It is so funny how people get onto me for telling someone how to live their life when - every single day - this reality continues to tell them how to live. People are paranoid, worried and always wanting to be comforted. It is so funny how in the movie 'The Dark Knight' the Joker was only speaking the truth regardless of how cunningly insane he actually was. He was right, people were no longer people when this ships go down. Fear and their weakness surfaces while they sink, and they become the very thing they run away from. While those who are not hiding from their inner weakness would not lose their ability to control in a situation that makes them become a cockroach or a chicken without a head. I like how you are comparing our system to others systems like some kind of contest. When the system is STILL SHIT, but not AS SHIT.

Oh and you didn't answer my question either. If our capitalistic society sucks so much, then why aren't you sharing the one you've surely conjured up, I'm still waiting to hear it.

I can see how much the system is bad and I can see the reason why we only use it. I do not have the solution, but I do have the necessary reasons to hate the system. The system can be better than this, but I'm not sure how to make it better because I do not read the history behind systems. All I know is, capitalism and communism are both vague shit stains of a system.

Insanctuary is an idiot who discovered the concept of inherent sinful nature of humans without reading a Bible.

And to think, in three thousand years, he'll come up with an argument that noone gives a fuck about their own flaws because if there truly is no other greater order to the world, then we are it ourselves.

And then, two thousand years after that, you won't believe in anything at all. Because you won't have to. What is, is. Accept it and move on.

No matter how much you argue that life is what you make of it, we can do better than this, just like we can push ourselves to do better in art, music, writing, SO WHY IS LIFE SO MUCH MORE DIFFERENT? When it is BY FAR more interactice than ANY OF THOSE. When it BY FAR is the VERY THING that affects the REAL world.

And to think, in three thousand years, he'll come up with an argument that noone gives a fuck about their own flaws because if there truly is no other greater order to the world, then we are it ourselves.

People only don't give a fuck because they are lazy fucks. They then say ''I have a job and a ''life'' as a scapegoat for the GREATER picture we do not heed.

And then, two thousand years after that, you won't believe in anything at all. Because you won't have to. What is, is. Accept it and move on.

No. I will not simply hide the truth. I will continue speaking it. People are better than this. Life being a void is not AN EXCUSE for you to live your poor sense of an existence. No matter how much you try to escape that though, you are only lying to yourself in the end. I rather live the truth regardless of all of the hardships that follows than lie to live a comfortable and empty life that you only pretend to fulfill. What is, is that you are low-lifers in a figurative sense. You live life on the lowest spectrum. Then you expect people like me who climb to a higher level understanding of life to just ACCEPT your low-life. Why don't you accept that your life is a sham and everything you do is an escapade.

Honestly insanctuary, you're wasting your time.
Most NGers hate your ideas and won't change. You'll probably never change us ever. You need to find a NEW site that WOULD welcome you. Because you aren't making the most out of yourself by wasting all your time here. And didn't you say we can always do better. You could do better on a new forum.

I believe that life should be taken seriously, because our inner wants and needs will never compare to the damage we cause to achieve it.

I believe that people can be better than what they protray now.

I believe that there is no such thing as supernatural, and people are just enjoying creating shams out of a world that is too boring for their bigger standards that only rewards them with pettyness.

I believe that people need to stop fretting for materials and things. We should is and master any given situation the best that we can.

I believe that religion, science, philosophies, different sexual orientations, laws, rules, POV's, should all be taken with less than a grain of salt and only be approached as a CONJECTURE.

I believe that children, teens, adults and the elderly still have ageless ideas, thus should never be shut out because of their age, and they should not expect to be always right and use their age as a defence to validate their conjectures.

I believe that this reality is a sham, our lives are a sham, everything is an escapade that people should stop worrying about because they only lose the very thing they fight for. We destroy the fundamental physics and elements of life by lying to ourselves just to loosely survive in a world where children run the country.

I believe everything is within us - not the world.

I believe that our physical eyes do not allow us to see as much as we think we do.

I believe that people need to stop using subjective experiences to bypass the ACTUALITY of our external world. Which means there is nothing more but a simply complex world, with simply complex life forms, and simply complex mechanics.

I believe that less is more.

I believe that simplicity is merely complexity. Complexity is only a sham created by people who can't accept the simplicity and unknown premise of our world.

I believe that people aren't doing anything really. We are all just going in circles inside our heads and the world is paying the price for it.

I believe that the reason why we can't find an answer, is because we only convince ourselves that life can't be lived without an answer. Which is why I do not question the world, but those who question the world.

I believe that medicine is vague, and they only do things 'correctly' because trials and errors, and back in the medievil times, I'm very sure alot of humans were used as guinea pigs.

I believe that humans are no more or less than outer space. I also do not beleve humans are more or less than basic plant life. Everything compliments the world on its own terms. At the least, the rest of the world doesn't destroy itself the way we do.

I believe that imperfection is the root of all perfections. Which means all journeys for perfection is only welcoming futility.

I believe that we need to stop using vague categorical values to express parts of the world when everyone and everything holds its own individual value.

I believe that we need to stop using family as an excuse to farm our own irrational ideologies. You are using your kids as guinea pigs to farm your own POV and that is sick. You should not force any POV. You can speak it all you want. You can continue to tell them that you disagree. You can not alter another person's life jsut because of your own POV. You can not punish them. You can not tell them what to do because of your own butthurt disagreement.

I believe that abortion is wrong, because of the fact it is a problem to begin with. People shouldn't have been fucking freely to begin with. People need responsibility and they need to treat these responsibilities with utmost care. Abortion wouldn't exist if human ignorance wasn't such a fad.

I believe that all drugs are pointless - including weed - and it is only distraction from something far more constructive. It is a fake experience that only acts as a third party to your chemicals. I'd much rather consult with my own experiences and be the master of them. Not some catalyst of a drug.

I believe that sex is perfectly fine, and I do not think 18 and being married has anything to do with responsible actions. I personally see sex as something more than procreation, because the body has more than one nerve that arouses you, and it isn't necessarily restricted to just the sex organs like you see in other animals. We have foreplay, we have flexible decisions to spice up our experiences during sex. Animals just do it. That again, is another reason why humans need to stop being compared to animals.

I believe that I am right and billions are wrong. I speak for the world - not myself. I question people and I watch how easy they crash and give in to my questions. While I stand without any hesitation.

I believe that life has no purpose or meaning at all. We can give it meaning, but that does not excuse our irresponsible behavior over the course of human active years.

I believe that one day, I will make an impact. Not because I want to dictate how people live their lives, but because I can see the weakness and I also can see that people are only afraid of change because they are afrad of their own weakness.

I believe that this industrial world was a heavy mistake. We are not gears to a bigger machine. We are individual painters. Well, for those who actually take life seriously and don't spew garbage on their easle.

I believe that if a man can stand as strong as I, they don't need evidence or some tangible reason to be heard. My vision is as strong as I am. My execution may not be presentable as you wish it could be, but my intentions can not be argued and I do not need to have a solution to freely speak how shitty the world is; that it needs to be fixed.

I believe that this whole rich shouldn't have to pay taxes is a load of bullshit. You aren't stealing anything. They make a hell alot more than the extra they have to pay in taxes. It is absolutely ludicrous to hoarde.

I believe that our society is not a society but a NOciety. People are strangers to each other and we only point fingers at each other while being children and joining any group that vaguely meets our own POV's.

I believe in a greater world.

I believe in love.

I believe in truth.

I believe in solution.

I believe in diligence.

I believe in life regardless how empty it is.

I believe that the voice inside my head was right. Life's true qualities lie within the missing links. We do not need to know life or ourselves to cherish it.

I have known someone far more by simply talking talking to them without knowing their name. Names mean nothing, and your parents gave you YOUR name. Not you.

I think cultures are the greater system of BS than families where they continue on their fallacious endeavors and seperate themselves out of pride and selfishness.

I believe that humans have never made a broader decision ever since they existed. Because the assholes are always in power. And people are fearsome children. While the tiny bit that speak up are silenced by the ignorant mass.

I believe that any man can reach for the stars.

I believe that people should not be judged from inside or outside. Human will always be human. We should always look at their ideas and how they see the world. Assessing if it could be harmful and cause turmoil or not.

I believe that I am not arrogant, pretentious or have a god-complex. My ideas are just too big for you guys.

I believe that I will make a difference and I am alot stronger than all of you combined.

I believe that my cunning acumen and that inner voice of mine - that is not God - is going to lead me to a whole new POV one day that will extract a deluxe element of life and all of its antithesises.

I believe that we are all masters and monsters.

I believe that we are only a God unto ourselves and a pawn unto the rest of the world.

I believe that we should simply live life and stop overtly complicating it with our personal jargon.

. Why don't you accept that your life is a sham and everything you do is an escapade.

The truth is in plain sight. You act like people don't know about the void, but they do. They know about it and are ACTIVELY ignoring it. You are the only one to whom this concept is at all novel.

You are so far behind in your reasoning that you think you are ahead.

Also, The Matrix is a rip- off of Plato's Allegory of a Cave.

Well, good luck with that.

Why do you find it so easy to categorize our lives in these box-y vague terminologies?

I'm only telling you that what ever 'this' is now, should've been taken care of with better responsibility. Obviously, having a brain is only half of the battle. Alot of those people don't even know how to use it. We probably already fucked ourselves over though. With the over populating as such. People wanting their own legacies living on. People wanting their own family and standard, cliche 'life' style. People wanting 'more'. They got what they wanted. We have so much more, that we can't even handle it any more. What ever the ideal system is, it isn't going to be some vague term that is arrogant enough to take on a whole group of individuals with individual ideas and values.

Didn't you mean to say "why do you find it so easy to simplify my redundant walls of text down to a sentence"?

The answer is of course, because your ramblings are redundant as fuck.

I find the number of people who take the time to complain about his threads absolutely hilarious.

This isn't 4 pages of only his posts.

All in favor quote this post.

Dammit.

Which is...?

Everything you don't see.

. Why don't you accept that your life is a sham and everything you do is an escapade.
The truth is in plain sight. You act like people don't know about the void, but they do. They know about it and are ACTIVELY ignoring it. You are the only one to whom this concept is at all novel.

The truth isn't that whether you are aware of it or not. The truth is that you shouldn't use it as an excuse to live a petty existence because you don't want to be the bigger man and get your hands dirty. You don't want to be the movie producer, you want to be the lazy fuck who watches the movie and then judges it like a preschooler.

You are so far behind in your reasoning that you think you are ahead.

I'm not the one with the head in my ass.

Also, The Matrix is a rip- off of Plato's Allegory of a Cave.

my hair looks weird.

You do not make examples, you make excuses; you do not solve problems, you shift problems; you do not stand behind your statements, you stand behind your stasis.

You're right. Insanctuary can't change and we should give up and not care. He's not worth the effort and he'll just wind up failing in life because he's rejected society as a whole and refuses to accept other's ideas and also thinks he's Jesus or something.

Fuck you insanctuary, I'm done.

Okay. Ciao!

I believe that humans are all built around a simple principle. Defend. Defense of their loved ones, defense of their countries, defense of humanity in some cases. Defending the environment and a whole host of other things.

I believe they will stand in the face of any danger, come hell or high water, to protect what they care for most.

I believe everyone is inherently good.

I believe in mysteries we can't possibly know.

And I believe that this cycle of life, of death and war, but also of love and togetherness, will never end. That humanity will always find a way to press on into the future. And I think that it's the most beautiful thing in existence.

Side note, I got you to actually talk about it instead of just hinting. +1 to me.
