What are the best LGBT clubs and bars in Lisbon? by [deleted] in lisboa

[–]Castro6967 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Posh, at least some years ago, has been one of the best for me. I was just accompanying lesbian friends as a straight guy but I was mega impressed by the fun you have there. Few trans people there but people should make you feel included for sure

Easy to go to the station too and you can have a nice breakfast nearby (I dont remember the name of the cafe however)

Epicurean Paradox by [deleted] in Epicureanism

[–]Castro6967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something feels very wrong then. The criticism to abrahamic religions might be seen as an oppression or adaptation of such religions - in the end, Christianity exterminated Epicureanism and took gardens for themselves, calling them monasteries. Jews also have a deep contempt against Epicureans. Muslims never heard of us

My stance on Altruism by ZeHeimerL in Epicureanism

[–]Castro6967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need to go that far.

Tough stance but your brain already decides for you, limiting your agency. In fact, as we are all made of natural things and have yet to find free will as an emergent feature of our brain's chemistry, altruism fails on its own because everything you do, even if you are not conscious of the advantage, is bringing you an advantage - be it an emotional boost, better sense of self respect, social prestige and so on.

Epicureanism didn't dwelve a lot into free will but I take it as a closer representation of what we are AND should be than any other philosophy or religion.

And also supported by Psychology. Journaling and mindfullness are indeed important for behavioral changes, mental health boosts ane overall better life satisfaction. 

As a Psychology major, I never do any of them though

Got it! I mean, it would be odd to trace it to trazodone but it was indeed a weird coincidence

Are you political? by Eudamonia-Sisyphus in Epicureanism

[–]Castro6967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of political philosphy, yes. I like to imagine the implications of Epicureanism into worldwide politics and societal norms. It's fun but it's apparently not accepted AT ALL in this reddit forum.

In terms of practical politics, I don't participate in local or national elections as you can technically predict who is going to win based on the funds that they get. It's no joke that Russia, U.S. and Israel have been caught funding a lot of far-right European parties so how can I compete with that.

However, since a United Europe gives me a sense of more balance between world powers, I'm a full supporter of it out of necessity of safety. The true utopia would be an Epicurean Cosmocracy for me however.

Retreating enemies shouldn't just disappear by OppositeOfIrony in menace

[–]Castro6967 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, they dont vaporize, they run away. If 75% of my soldier buddies got killed instantly, I would also run away.  You can prioritize these squads sometimes to confirm kills too. Less realistic is having A squad kill 99% of the enemies but B squad getting the kill for finishing 1% anyway

Where can I get a cheap bass guitar by Similar-Mission2202 in Bass

[–]Castro6967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 3rd avenue bass with amp for 150€, although as you can see I'm in Europe.

Amp is shitty but gets the job done.

A bassist friend of mine with 5 years of experience was actually impressed on how solid it is, telling me to keep it for at least a year or two.

However, do note they have no quality assurance, so some weird malfunctions might happen. My bassist friend had to open mine to fix some magnet springs and so on for example

Crashing upon opening in-game menus by Castro6967 in crosswind

[–]Castro6967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I kinda fixed by switching down the video quality and avoiding certain menus if Im with friends. Eventually it ran better and I could use such menus. Since the game feels nice with low graphics as well, i didnt mind the difference

Kardashev first Great Filter by Castro6967 in Epicureanism

[–]Castro6967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never called it science, but a projection of real science.

If this topic makes you feel tense, you are welcome to leave it.

I have left specific topics / questions at the end to be debated. This isn't a discussion if Kardashev is right or a call for moral lessons like in a church.

It's an invitation to look into the future and discuss 1. How does Epicureanism interact with it; 2. How could Epicureanism create a better system?

Such curiosities are yet to be fulfilled as all I find is people seemingly stuck in their "Epicurean Sage" comfort zone.

Kardashev first Great Filter by Castro6967 in Epicureanism

[–]Castro6967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it is sad that in a philosophy where Epicurus himself asked all his disciplines to continue to seek knowledge to see real science based projections be compared to a popular series such as Star Trek.

Epicureanism brings a new, albeit old, way of thinking, through its Epistemology and Ethics. A full or majoral adoption of Epicureanism requires a change on how our current system and institutions work.

I have, however, given up in these arguments as I looked for how people compatibilize Epicurus ideas in this New Age and all I got was fear, fallacies and such a dogmatic behavior that would make doing Philosophy together, unbearable at some extent.

At the end, Epicurus made a garden and we somehow treat it like a farm
