So then your posts, like art and existence, are more or less entirely subjective?
 Quoting: O__o


There's really a fine line between those words, so calling my posts one or the other hardly makes a difference. One's own experience may be subjective, but it's objective that all things which exist have some experience of some kind.
Beyond that, who can say?
Whether it's appropriate for the moment or not, there is always the opportunity to find it entertaining, and I for one am doing so in this moment.
I think boredom really constitutes a failure of existential apprehension.
 Quoting: Tallow Candle


You obviously don't understand a situation I am in or perhaps others are too; being utterly bored of existence because of due to end of knowledge via asd or pattern of nature thread I put forward and nothing seemingly came out of it.

If I failed at so called "existential apprehension" then what next? I'm still existing. Huh?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76378451


What then? A missed opportunity, I guess. I don't know what you mean with respect to patterns of nature thread or what asd is...

Re: It's all just cosmic entertainment
In the 50's was the lsd experiments which causes many to believe in the life is a game mentality which then drives them to a breakdown from paranoia in the mind if they adhere to it through their life because it is fantasy.

John Nash is perfect example. Zero-sum games was behind the MAD strategy especially during the cold war. The aversion of nuclear war was both would be effected similarly. The game theory went into the markets/economy which will do similar to the outcome of Nash. But hey, what they call beautiful is their own prerogative, lol

The taking apart/abuse of raison d etre has caused lots of theories to become unhealthy environments

Re: It's all just cosmic entertainment
Create an environment that in order to exist in, one is subject to only one infinitesimal moment.

And the only way to bypass the moment is through memory (past experiences being reflected on) and imagination (goals of future possibilities via projecting).

The ability to exist in the tangible and the intangible at the same moment. Since the moment is both infinitesimal and eternal, and strung throughout perception, it naturally becomes unknowable in any true definition of knowing as every moment is changing, moving... is never the same.

It is a dance of dynamic balancing, unceasing experience strung out through perception, ordered intangibly from memories and imagination, yet tangibly existed within.

The notion of something unknown to the omniscient is a paradox.

More or less likely, less or more entertaining doesn't matter. Omniscient means there is no unknown.

The unknown is no key to a contest, it's what you project. Or rather, perhaps, what you never release - to each one's own.

You're right: it is a paradox. That's precisely the point. In the resolution of a paradox is where everything new is created. The only way out of a paradox is to transcend one's own schema of thinking entirely. None of the old perspectives will do. You must literally go up a notch. Jump a quanta.

This is what interests me...
First you take something whole and perfect, a cosmic egg.
The egg cracks and a universe is born, spiraling out of its origin. The creation progresses, fragmenting itself. Consciousness happened, according to the mind of God.

But then as the interactions among these Godly sparks took place, nuances of being became illuminated that never would have happened in the perfection of the cosmic egg. It was only by letting the "program run" so to speak that these possibilities became evident.

Even the all knowing was changed because what was known previously couldn't contain the new possibilities. Consciousness changed, and the mind of God changed as a reaction to it.

Because there's a creation, there's dynamism between experiences, like volcanos creating new continents, but on the astral level.
