Hypothetically

Whenever I'm angry, it's in an absence of patience. It is fine to firmly dislike something, but when that turns into anger, you've gotten way out of line.

- I've had neck pain that's connected to the spine. My parents are hesitant to take me to a doctor, because they don't have enough money. They insist on trying Moov (a muscle pain ointment). They say it works for all pain. They should know better, but they are used to escapism. - My parents had not been able to buy me the books I needed to study for JEE when I was at school, because they were poor.

... There was a dog. There was a building. I came out from some cave with some snow-shaped blue coloured stuff covering the cave. I was trying to get into the building, which I guessed was a dormitory, and if I got in, I'd find people I knew. But there was a dog outside, and I could pause the dream and analyze my moves and make the right choice. I woke up at about that time and went back to sleep. --- What I'm curious about this is that the dog seemed to have a personality of its own. And I did not know who would be in the building. I didn't fully plan how I'd get in. The dog was an obstacle. I thought about finding any cut window bars, but maybe I'd have to climb the building. I didn't know how I was going to climb it yet, but it's the dream world. Maybe I could've flied or jumped harder, of scaled it like spider-man. I don't remember the laws of physics. I'm exploring the relationships between how the dream world exists, how different living en...

#MayNeedPolish In my opinion, God is the material, efficient and formal cause of the world. I had a rational reason as to why God is conscious. But I forgot it because it always ends up complicated. The reason for that is because it's like writing a manual on how to ride a bike. You don't learn to ride a bike by reading about it. So I'll skip this for now. God as the material cause of the world would be like the ocean. The power of the ocean would manifest as waves in the ocean. God would not constantly control the ocean, because the will of God is simply non-different from perfection. Free will and determinism converge into one. God as the efficient cause would be like the energy, and God as the formal cause would be like the patterns. In this manner, God is present with in the world, as the waves, but is also transcendent, as the ocean. In this case, the ocean and energy are not different. Patanjali's Yoga school posited that Purusha and Prakrthi were different, while...

Edit: If you factor in Vishishta Advaita (qualified non-dualist) Vedanta, or other forms of Bheda-Abheda (difference and non-difference) Vedanta, then it is possible for a cake to be sliced into one big slice and several small sizes. The big size can serve as the buffer that can adjust the small sizes as much as it wants. This puts full control in the hands of God, rather than on some physical laws. And this model is more correct considering the cake is actually a simplified model for what is actually infinite. Yet, this line of thinking helps one understand the theory of dependent origination. The idea is common in Daosim, Zen (which is Mahayana Buddhism with Daoist influences), Mahayana Buddhism and also Kashmir Shaivism and Advaita and Bedha-Abheda Vedanta-s. In Sanskrit, this is called Pratheethya Samutpaada (Pali: Paticcha Samuppada). Its basic principle is summarized as "This arises, that becomes" (Pali: Imasmim Sati, Idam Hoti). Now to my analogy. A cake can be divided...

#Draft Neither Reddit, nor ChatGPT are vulnerable to disinformation. Reddit - comment chain manipulation - reply and block, with or without moderator assistance - dangerous because it initially gives the impression that it is immune to manipulation this works because 1) if a reply to a comment is deleted before it received a reply that isn't deleted too, it won't show up as a deleted reply when someone browses the thread; and it won't seem deleted to the user too, so they won't know that the manipulation is at play; and 2) if someone replies and blocks you, you won't be able to reply to them, and this will make it seem like you didn't have a better reply, in case of political discussions - e.g. if someone asks you for proof and blocks you so that you can't reply with it.. - and if you edit the original comment, if it then gets deleted with moderator assistance in suppression of opinion, it'll be as if you didn't reply at all. They will try to frame y...
