If you want the best theory of them all, read about the Monadology from Leibnitz (co-inventor of Calculus). Edit: Found the quote online I heard in philosophy class: And, in perhaps the wittiest and most biting rhetorical question asked of Leibniz, Voltaire gibes, “Can you really believe that a drop of urine is an infinity of monads, and that each of these has ideas, however obscure, of the universe as a whole?” (Oeuvres complètes, Vol. 22, p. 434) source: Leibniz Page Then there are those who believe you can reach "enlightenment" by repeatedly asking "who am I" while you sit in deep silence. Aah well. Too busy working to do any of that...and playing hearthstone  edit: Just want to say I love my goliath picture. Having machine guns for arms is the best!!! | ||

I just met a girl at work a week ago, she was all smiles and it was fun getting to know her. We literally have been working together for over 6 months and I only say her that day. I thought to myself: "it's funny that she's been here all this time, but she only truly were a part of my life once I met her" which is kind of why I wrote this. Things don't really exist to you until you acknowledge their presence. Cute. Sorry it derailed into philosophical dung-flinging.

I want to say morality and religion are accomplishments, but I know morality can be had without very deep philosophy and without religion, and religions seem to be more like hiding places for ancient technologies than a bunch of dudes sitting around a table smoking hash. | ||

I'd like to think of religion as a way people deal with what they're afraid of, and what they can't do anything about. Death, unexpected events, the unknown. It's the same way some people deal it with other things, drugs, alcohol, etc. Wouldn't call that a major accomplishment at all. I think philosophy just comes from when people start being more self aware, rather than thinking "Eat, work, sleep, eat, work sleep, family, fun, eat, work, sleep" cycle, you know? | ||

But has that street really existed before you not knowing it's presence ? To your reality, no. maybe the specific details of the road, but it still exists independent of my knowledge of it and it can still have an effect on me so yes to my reality it exists as an example if i am a general and i don't know this bridge exists and the enemy uses it to flank my forces to my reality that bridge sure as hell existed even though i had no idea about its existence. it may not be until hours or days or weeks later that i learn about that bridge. still existed to my reality. | ||
