• I think I finally found an answer to “what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?” The answer is one or both of them cease to exist. This could imply physical destruction, as in the unstoppable force obliterates the immovable object. But it could also imply an identity destruction. If an unstoppable force makes an immovable object move, then the immovable object loses its identity as a immovable object.
• Do not fall into the delusion that being wise means you understand things outside your sphere of understanding and knowledge. You wouldn’t be here if you knew everything.
• There is no “absolute good” or “absolute evil.” Good should be defined by the balance of opposing forces, while bad should be defined by the imbalance. Creation and destruction must coexist. Creation without destruction is just as detrimental as destruction without creation.
• Imagine a yin-yang symbol. My question is this: do the dots identify more with their surroundings, or do they identify with their own color?
• Though this question has much more deeper philosophical implications, I think it may be a good thought experiment for the argument of “nurture vs nature”
• To accept an apology is mature. To give back forgiveness is divine.
• People are interesting, because we have the body of a stupid animal and the spirit or will of a higher being. This makes us both finite and infinite. Our minds are what bridges these two contradictory aspects of our being.
• Our minds are finite in the sense that they take up a finite space and function as a result of their physical mechanics, but they are infinite in their imagination. A finite mind can somehow comprehend infinity. Our imagination, in a sense, can interact with infinity, allowing us to transcend our physical limitations.
• We are very much able to fall into the traps of the world, but at any moment we are able to overcome these traps through our own will. An animal is ruled by its physical needs and desires, and therfore is controlled by them; nothing more than a slave to the physical world. But a person is able to recognize something greater than the physical present, and actively pursue it at the risk of their own safety and comfort. What appears foolish to an animal is seen as wise to a person.
• I believe we are born animals, and become people as we mature and interact with reality. This is reflected in the development of our mind. The process of transforming from an animal to a person would be what we call “becoming self-aware”
• However, it seems like many of us forget what it means to be a person as we continue to age, or maybe try to reject the responsibility that accompanies being a person – something that is more than an animal. We lock away the part of our mind that lets us be a person. We once again become slaves to physical needs and desires.
• I also don’t believe that personhood is limited to humans, humans just have the greatest potential to become a person. I’ve met many “animals” that possesed more qualities of a person than some humans I’ve interacted with.
• Immortality is achieved when our will transcends our finite and physical bodies. It continues to have an impact on the physical world even when our physical bodies cease to exist. This is what it means to become a legend.
• It’s been a very long time since I drank so that I could feel something interesting, rather than so I could feel numb
• Sheogorath will eventually take my mind, so I’ve been willingly giving it to him, if only to experience the enlightenment of insanity
• What is sanity other than a shared perspective?
• One of the biggest compliments I receive is when I tell someone my philosophy, and they ask if I’ve read the works of a great philosopher, since my words and ideas remind them of the philosopher.
• “A smaller truth”
• Our bodies may be “stupid”, but they understand the physical world better than our minds or spirits every could hope.
• The difference between “toxic immaturity” and “playful/healthy immaturity”
• I believe we have both a preordained meaning as well as the ability to surpass that meaning. At its foundation, the meaning of life is to die. Death is our fate, and we cannot defy that fate. But what makes people amazing is that even though we are destined to die, we are able to create our own meaning of life that supercedes that of fate.
• Is there a 4th aspect of being? My thought stems from the possibility of defining our being with two binary numbers. If mind/body/spirit is represented as (00) (01) (10), is there an aspect of being represented as (11)?
• I think I learned how to dissociate so that I could feel proud of my accomplishments without feeling narcissistic. I’m not impressed with myself, but of the person called Noah who is possesses these traits and accomplishments.
• I create philosophy when I think, poetry when I feel, and art when I do both.
• The tearing effects of lying on the multiverse and the distance it creates between multiverses, and therefore their inhabitants.
• Would a huge tech company like Google somehow losing/deleting all of its data and information that only it possessed, would that be a modern day equivalent to the burning of the library of Alexander?
