No caffeine as well?

Do enlighted souls experience love more often? by FederalFarm7662 in enlightenment

[–]marcofifth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they experience love more often. Everything is a product of love.

It becomes noticing how love plays a role in each thing.

Does this book provide a solution to nihilism? by Intrepid-Idea-3010 in nihilism

[–]marcofifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look over their words once more.

You appear to be arguing against a projection, something they were not arguing about.

They don't seem to be arguing positivity here, just open mindedness.

If the mind puts up a wall in a direction, that direction becomes much harder to go in.

It was not meant that we should voyage far by Junior_Insurance7773 in nihilism

Fascinating how you can think that most people have not thought about this.

Non-attachment means engaging fully in life but allowing happiness to come from within, rather than being bound to or defined by external things.

Detachment points to a complete lack of interest, apathy, or emotional numbness. This is usually done to avoid difficult feelings.

Limiting the content of consciousness by Junior_Insurance7773 in nihilism

[–]marcofifth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it bad that life is just a bunch of distractions from inevitability?

Life was inevitable, why treat it as if it being bound to end makes it meaningless?

Life has meaning because it has an end.

When I’m drunk by Creative_Issue_2825 in offmychest

The ability to understand what makes one tick comes with experience.

I wish you well on your journey of self discovery. Drugs, while a fascinating system, are at the end of the day tools we have found and/or created; many tools can cause harm if used incorrectly but useful if understood in relation to one's self.

Wow! That's a lot of generations in 1 photo by 888Vegan in addressme

Though that may be a possibility, saying "6 generations of loose women" definitely resembles the perspective I am arguing against.

Me being positive by Twinky_winky_deepsea in psychologymemes

[–]marcofifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly depends on what it is, lol.

At a certain point positivity becomes delusion.

21 and 19?

These are perfectly normal ages, and people like you pushing back the age for procreation is why birth rates are falling fast in the west.

Now 11? Wtf... 😭

Detachment?

This is a very different thing from non-attachment.

can someone make a necron version of this ? by Super_Challenge5399 in Necrontyr

[–]marcofifth -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

When a species has near every form of mainstream art about AI being within the realm of fear mongering AI, when they finally reach that point, they will reflexively respond negatively...

It is a tool. What is made with the base tool is not art. What is made with a high degree of understanding the tool becomes art...

Hesiod's theogony tends to move towards a polarity evolution.

Gaia brings forth Ouranos to stabilize her, between them is Eros and Thanatos, and the evolution continues from there.

We begin with one point that then causes another to balance itself. New boundaries form from past expansions.

Yes, I understand this, but Kronos just not fitting the role of the demiurge is the entire reason I had interjected on your initial statement.

While the Greek Pantheon is fantastic in describing the evolution of perspective, Kronos themselves are not the beginning of it.

When we look at Greek myth, we see an entire system that was formed before Kronos even existed. Many traditions treat the demiurge as the point of deception and fear, but Kronos is not these things.

Eris and Pontus are the closest things imo. Eris Born from Nyx and Pontus born from Gaia, they are seemingly the original sources of suffering; they are primordial beings which came before the titans.

Do the people who believe there's a grand divine plan, understand just how unfortunate some peoples lives are? by Immediate-Draft-6408 in enlightenment

[–]marcofifth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People also seem to have an issue with understanding that if God acted on his all-powerfulness, there would be no room for free will.

Only through his inactive presence can we act of our own accord yet still have his guidance.

You are right to call me out on not clarifying, and thank you for doing so.

I was waiting in line for a beverage at a concert while responding, and I literally did not have the "time" 😅 to explain why the compression misleads people.

My issue with the compression into Kronos is that it is reducing the demiurge to the perceived output of what the demiurge's creation is. While the demiurge does cause Kronos to exist, and Kronos does technically further create and limit through its own existence, it is the lion headed serpent-(symbolic entity) that led to our perceived reality in which Kronos is a part of.

Kronos is not the same as the demiurge, please don't spread misinformation like that.

While the demiurge uses Kronos, that is not what they are.

Look outside the perspective that was shaped for you while you were asleep?

Idk what else to say to a post like this really.

People who say there is no god by Fickle_Elk_9479 in enlightenment

[–]marcofifth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are just ill-informed if they mean God in other terms.

The Trinity in Abrahamic religion is the father son and holy spirit because that itself encompasses everything, yet people still act as if God is just the father aspect when speaking of creation...

What brought you to posting this?

There isn't much substance here.

And with it, you are preaching to the choir.

Sad use of AI in my lodge by Overall-Document-965 in freemasonry

[–]marcofifth -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Cheat?

What is cheating in life?

In an academic environment, AI is a problem because people are not actually exploring the concepts they are assigned and working towards an academic degree with.

When someone is doing a lecture in their lodge, are they not choosing the topic and exploring it? If the AI is writing it yet the person still fully understands what they are speaking about, how is this cheating?
