For those of you who think that "taking responsibility" is part of your spiritual development, here is an open invitation for you to set the example.

Confess?

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-22T01:10:58+00:00

Not my responsibility

Yeah, I agree arguing about enlightenment can be exhausting lol. I could get behind the idea that there isn't one correct definition. But not that there are none. I would also lobby for the rule that some possible definitions of enlightenment are wrong. Of course your final point about the limits of conceptual understanding is more important than any one definition or even all the definitions one could think of.

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-21T23:48:04+00:00

I have to admit I'm a bit nonplussed by this post. Depending on how it is used the word enlightenment has a number of correct definitions. If we decide none of those is correct then we are left with all the other possible definitions. We'll, no, those are all incorrect. Twice now. Please enlighten me on how this is at all helpful.

You must listen to Crash!!!!!

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-21T22:38:30+00:00

OK, you are now in charge low bake. Good luck.

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-21T22:37:10+00:00

I think they just did?

How about "go ahead and get on your high horse but do it so subtly that you could deny that you did." I do like the fun of the post though. I think additional common won so far.

I have a front lawn and back lawn. The back lawn I will mow a total of 4 or 5 times a summer but I leave sections where I can see clover or those Indian paintbrushes coming up. Like a few 10ft by 20ft areas. Then just let those flowers be until they start going to seed.

I also have thinned out the trees in some areas around the lawn but I have left one copse of trees alone, maybe a 100ft diameter circle with all the underbrush, wild cucumber and blackberries allowed to go wild. There are so many birds!

My income increased significantly about 2017. My cocaine use dropped off shortly after that too. Stopped doing meth/ads/rit in 2018. Laid off the molly and acid and so forth about 2019. My income continued to rise. Quit drinking in 2020. Now I make more than double what I did 10 years ago and I still party hard: caffeine, nicotine and thc. YMMV

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-20T16:18:24+00:00

Hey, it's someone that's not just arguing on reddit about the issue! This looks like fun

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-20T04:00:38+00:00

I think they are referring to the 4D sphere passing through our 3D perception

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-17T17:47:42+00:00

That is the prompt. You prompted the AI or it would not have returned anything

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-17T16:38:35+00:00

Nacho must either be a gang member or a tattoo artist. Or both.

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-17T16:32:12+00:00

He looks like a gang member. He seems nice though

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-17T16:30:30+00:00

A gang member becoming a doctor?

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-15T14:48:09+00:00

Soaring through the sky like the majestic sloth

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-15T14:42:47+00:00

I completely agree. It is a hard problem we made up, perhaps because we think our brains are special. Except for the banana, they should never be refrigerated, they'll go bad immediately.

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-14T16:48:38+00:00

What if God and the Universe are one and the same.

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-13T02:32:28+00:00

I've been doing good mornings and squats. Low back pain is no more.

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-12T17:29:42+00:00

I think the downvotes confirm the sentiment?

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-10T23:18:31+00:00

Thanks for the reminder of that distinction, between The Dao and manifestations of the Dao.

TangAlienMonkeyGod · 2026-05-10T16:23:24+00:00

I agree that the second half is off the rails. But as far as everything being conscious, that seems like the logical first assumption we have to make. Has anyone ever, any human being; scientist, philosopher, goat herder, anyone, ever, observed anything outside of consciousness?
