What is to be found if we look in the opposite direction? Or not at all?
Quite an interesting statement here, food for thought.

The very absence of something is in itself an object if you consider thought an object. Kinda like a milk carton is still a thing even when it's empty. Because we cannot describe every possible state of nature we cannot truly know our limits. I just smoked a bunch of grass so forgive me for not making perfect sense at the moment.

[Lyanth]

Blunt aren't you, I understand what you're saying. DO be careful when smoking grass, overdoses are all-to-common. I'll leave you to your own devices then. Have fun.

[Davidgeo]

ha...ah... you're funny.

[Lyanth]

And you, are high. Which makes things seem funny, unless you're being sarcastic in which case you're still probably high.

[Davidgeo]

being high isn't necessarily a bad thing for everybody. everybody has a brain comprised of slightly different bio chemistry, it's important to do what objectively makes you subjectively happy and productive.

[Lyanth]

That is subjective in itself, since killing makes some people happy..
Is it more important to do what is right or what makes one happy?

[Lyanth]

That is not to say being high is wrong, dangerous yes, detrimental, definitely..but you do you.

[Davidgeo]

"That is subjective in itself".... that's my point.

[Davidgeo]

Is "what's right" a statement that is in it of itself subjective?

[Lyanth]

Both are subjective. However, which is better, doing what feels subjectively right or what makes you subjectively happy?

[Lyanth]

Nevertheless there are core and obvious points of right and wrong.

[Davidgeo]

Deciding which is better will never not be subjective, therefore something will always remain subjective.... to include deciding whether something is or is not subjective. It's definitely a paradox but none the less valid as far as we can tell. Part of what E=MC2 is describing has to do with that... everything is relative means everything is relative to include even the concept of relativity itself.

[Lyanth]

True. But subjectively speaking, which do you consider better?

[Lyanth]

Generally speaking human nature tends to lean towards the path of most destruction, however human logic leans towards the least destructive. By moral standards, one option is the obvious "Better" choice. What is your opinion.

[Davidgeo]

I think the human mind and body are organizing principles among organizing principles arising from other organizing principles in an otherwise decaying environment. Whatever keeps the most things alive for the longest possible time in most efficient state is what I tend to define as "good". This brings to my mind the quote... "a clock without a craftsmen" by a fellow named Alan Moore

[Lyanth]

Hm, interesting view. Maybe we all need a little of whatever you're smoking..

[Davidgeo]

Nah, It doesn't work for everyone... some people just shouldn't do drugs of any kind for any reason at any point in time.

[Lyanth]

Could be said no one should do them, but again it remains up to the individual. Which brings us back to subjectivity. But I think I've had enough of that for today.

[Davidgeo]

Me too, this is starting to hurt my brain. I just have to recommend one thing that I think you might at least find interesting, "the stoned ape theory". It's not an unreasonable explanation for certain origins of abstract modern culture.

[Lyanth]

I will verse up on it later. Sounds interesting enough.
