I have a weird philosophy that if you don't know about something it dosent exist to you. it literaly dosent exist. if you don't know someone, never heard their name, or even if you dont remember someone they are gone in your reality. as things and people move from your concience they disappear. Another philosophy (is that even what I should call these?) is that we all see things differently. my green is your blue. but the thing is when I say or write blue you here or read green.when I see Elliot Grey you see an artist. beauty is in the eye of the beholder but sometimes people just can't see the ugly.
you know what I'm just bullshiting:bs: stuff I'm just bored and having a pot head moment but I was wondering what philosophies you people have that might sound crazy.
P.S. I'm not a pot head I just think like one. I also space out a lot and then snap out of them with a frown on my face...hmm I wonder If thats bad. oh yeah and did you know 3 outta 4 sasquatches read my comic :D The Melting Pot...hmm

My philosophy on sports: Note this is my own outlook, perhaps not correct. I submit it here because my roomate does not agree with any point in my logic, and we argue all the time about this.
First let me state that all sports are games, and in turn all games are contests. But there are specific points to which one moves into the others area. Something like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isnt always a square.
Now a competition is an event where a structure of guidelines and rules outlines the competition, but the winner is determined by subjective vote, such as a panel of judges.
A game is a competition where the maner in which the winner is determined rests with the rules that make up the game. Such as a collection of points, a quickest time, or some other preset way to determine the winner. Some examples are Chess, Checkers, Solitare, Scrabble.
A sport is a game that has three important factors. First being two or more sides, with atleast one individual on each opposing side. In addition each team has to have a direct impact on the success or failure of the other team. Meaning physical interaction of some kind. The second factor is that sports need to be highly physical in nature, this sets a sport apart from other compeditive games like Chess.
So to recap.
Contest, Bob and Bill decide to skipp rocks on a river, James decides who is best
Game, Bob and Bill decide to skipp rocks on a river, whoever can skipp a rock furthest wins.
Sport, Bob and Bill decide to skipp rocks on a river, whoever can skipp a rock furthest wins, but they have to do it while sprinting down the riverbank and they can push eachother to mess up the others throw.

golf is not a sport unless you could tackle your opponent mid swing, or if you could use your clubs to fight eachother. or something to where you affect the opponents game.
Nascar isnt a sport because its not athletic, yes it requires great skill, but your basically sitting in a fast moving chair. Not much physical prowess needed there.

my philosophy on some men's unhealthy obsession with breasts:
maybe they weren't breastfed enough as babies.
my catchphrases:
you're not a failure until you're dead.
when nothing is sacred, nothing is taken away.
i have a philosophy that the world, everything we know, is microscopic to someone else. like... we can't see things that are really small, well maybe every atom is some universe.
think of that scene at the end of men in black but smaller.
our universe might be some submicroscopic particle to someone else.

its no theory dude.. its a fact.. every single piece of matter right down to the sub atomic particles are divisible infinately..
for instance.. anything that has any sort of mass can be split in half,, and then one of its halves can be split in half and so on and so forth.. its infinite.. so as your staring into your monitor right now,, realize this... not only are you staring at glass and excellerated photons,,, your staring into infinity..

Ion, I remember a greek philosopher who believed the same, that nothing exists outside of the mind.
I did some looking up and the guy is called Protagoras
"Greek philosopher and the earliest known Sophist. Believed that sense perceptions are all that existed, thus reality differs from one person to another."
I think you shouldn't get yourself stuck in all these theories. Overanalyzing is never a good thing.
Still I have tought about something similar as Lono.
They used to think an atom was the smallest part in the universe. Later they discovered protons, elektrons etc. Now they've discovered quarks, well at least calculations show they are there.
I can't imagine that something can be the smallest part of the universe, that it is built up out of nothing. So I think there is always a smaller part and that goes on into infinity, as there probably is a bigger part as well. So there has to be something bigger than the universe as well and somethin bigger than that.

Just thinking. Wouldn't golf be interesting if you played with a larger ball, and your oponent could stand downrange with a baseball bat and swat at your ball? That would be interesting. Or even better. You have two armored guys standing 100 yards from one another, on a bullseye, and they try to hit each other for points, or the bullseye for less points. Kinda like darts. Hell, I'd play that! (And actually watch it too)
As for the "not there if I don't know about it" philosophy, that has to be expanded. If NOBODY at all knows that you don't exist, then perhaps it can be said that you don't, but it is faulty because you are still there and you can pop up to them and say "Hi, I'm here, and I do exist". It's a matter of perception, not reality.

Hmmmm. I guess I agree with Retinal. Nascar, is racing not a sport. However motocross or supercross is both a sport and racing. Where as "sports" like hunting or fishing, kinda fall in the practical joke department. I think in order to make fishing or hunting a sport, you would have to go after a shark with a snorkle and knife, or go after a lion with a hachet, that sort of thing. I could classify it as a sport then. :p

hunt ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hnt)
v. hunt·ed, hunt·ing, hunts
v. tr.
To pursue (game) for food or sport.
To search through (an area) for prey: hunted the ridges.
To make use of (hounds, for example) in pursuing game.
To pursue intensively so as to capture or kill: hunted down the escaped convict.
To seek out; search for.
To drive out forcibly, especially by harassing; chase away: hunted the newcomers out of town.
Im sorry but in all definitions of hunt, there is an active persuing quality. So in my mind that means if your sitting in a tree for three hours and shooting at some deer that are just passing by. Then your an ambusher and not a "hunter"
Now if one was to track down some deer and kill it, then perhaps they would be a hunter. Now if they did it with a knife or spear, then ill find some sort of prize for them.

If a fight to the death would be classified as a competition, hunting should be too. heheh
anyways, I've been thinking a lot about time lately....and my philosophy is that the only thing in existence that ever moves is consciousness(and I'm beginning to think even that's questionable).
See, time doesn't move in a line...we only percieve it in a line. It's a device used to relate movement. If nothing moved there would be no time.
That said, all things, that is to say every possibility, both imagineable and unimagineable, is happening all at once. For however many possibilities there are where I play the hero in my life, there are as many where I'm the villain......there are even possibilities where I get a sex change and become Britney Spears' secret lover....possibilities where I become the new Pope...etc. Nothing is off limits.
for existentialists, this is just a neat idea, that doesn't press on their belief system, because consciousness still has free will, and there's no reason for things to be as they are...they just are that way.
for people that believe in God, it's even deeper. How can these facts be true in the world we already percieve without contradiction.
-God is perfect and makes no mistakes
-God knows what we will do
-We have free will
-God is unchanging
I mean if we truly had free will, God couldn't be pepared for what we would do, because we wouldn't have decided it until the last minute.....God would have to change to accomodate our varying choices.....unless everything was happening all at once and God only had to prepare for our consciousness to move....that way, every circumstance is already accounted for.....God is prepared for every possibility....accomodated in a way that best serves reality, and not just the perceptions of our consciousness which are so often influenced by ego rather than truth.
What is God though? I think God is the entire consciousness of the universe....the thinker of the thoughts if you will.
If truth is like a ball, no single consciousness can percieve truth entirely, for you can't ever see both sides of the ball simultaneously.....but if God is all consciousness, then he can percieve all the ball, all the time....
...God is in me, God is in you...I'm God, you're God....we're all God. Enlightenment is being able to share awareness with the rest of our entire consciousness(God).
...and so, I'm both an existentialist, a Catholic, a Buddhist, Taoist, and so on.

June 10th, 2004, 04:43 PM
I have a philosophy/psychology that people are all cocky and lazy idiots. We all live in order to achieve some sort of superiority. People will go to great lengths to prove that they are different and unique, and this explains the whole "antisocial" thing and why many people who are "antisocial" are just stupid. They depend on their "antisocial-ness" to make themselves unique.
This also explains why people with strict parents may achieve much better academically. They believe that the world is actually a lot more competitive than it really is, and they believe that they have to achieve even more in order to gain superiority.
Of course, all these stereotypes should be taken with a pinch of salt.
I sometimes try to observe unusual behavior and match it up with my little "philosophy." It seems like a simple concept, so I'm sure some scientist or philosopher or another should have already created this philosophy and put it in print.
Of course, it's also a bit cynical, and I really don't like cynicism, so I don't take it very seriously. :D
Philosophy : Logic with jargon.
God is in me, God is in you...I'm God, you're God....we're all God.
That's a basic belief of Hinduism. I love my religion.

Iconoclast ~ i agree that we are all cocky and lazy, and that we live to out do the people around us. this fact has been proven by peoples inability to be truly happy, without any form of jealousy, for anyone who achieves a higher ranking than them. the lazyness comes when one actually has to get off their ass to achieve this higher status, most don't want to and wont. which amusingly feeds their hate for the one who does succeed, but its a roundabout hate because they are really hating themselves for being too lazy to achieve what the other has done. However, on the subject of the antisocials, i do not agree. personally i don't completely consider myself to be stupid. i lived a slightly strict (by strict i mean poor) lifestile and therefore wasn't able to include myself in some of the more social atmospheres. from this i learned to somewhat socialy isolate myself, but i don't consider this to make me any more unique than anybody else. true some do use the status to show themselves as unique, but those are few and generally don't succeed.
This comes from a person who thinks that everyone is unique and uniquely stupid.

I feel we are cocky, shoot I'm the best at being cocky and I'm even challenging trevor who seems to want to challenge everyone! I too was/am poor and it did make me isolate myself a bit but... where was I going with this?...OH! yeah anti socialism sucks no matter what. it just sucks differently for the different reasons that caused it.(does that even make sense?:D)
oh well heres another for yah...
everyone has a weird coincidence that will run their life. in my case history repeats. lets just say that I see events that will happen because they already happened just with different people. and there is nothing I can do to stop it. I even told one of these people and she didnt believe me! but guess what it happened again! I dont want to get into details but it sucks and always ends up with the loss of friends:(

June 11th, 2004, 02:18 AM
OK Big post, sorry :(
NoUseFrAName, i came up with a similar idea a while back its somewhat different than yours, but here it goes.
I submit that all time has already happened. Its widely understood that the past has already happened and is unchangeable. So if the present will shortly be the past, then it too is unchangeable. Moreover, if the future will shortly be the present then the future will eventually be the past and will be unchangeable.
To give an example, lets say we construct a time machine, and go back in the past to do something. Now then lets assume the time machine is well maintained and exists in the future. So then in the distant future someone visits our time. This means that we are now in the past to that person and our actions are unchangeable.
Now in my "idea" of time, i also submit that if someone from the future can coexist with our time, then that must mean that our time is happening at the same moment their time is happening. So all events in the future, past, and present are actually happening at the same instant. Because if we are the past to someone else, yet are still flowing with "time" then our past must also still be happening. The best example i can think of is to think of our "timeline" as drawn out on a table, it has a linear progression from "past" to "future" yet its only drawn on a table and all points exist at the same instant.
With that said, let me make another assumption, that the big bang actually did happen. And that at one point the universe, timespace, and indeed all existence accumulated in a single point. That would be the beginning of our timeline. And there are some theories that once all the outward energy of the big bag is used up the collective gravity of the universe will eventually collapse back on it self. This creating one singular point that contains the entire universe. So that would be the end of our timeline. So now we know that the beginning and end of our time line are actually the same point. This being alot of conjecture
So now we have this "loop" of a time line existing on the same table
This being only my idea about what time actually is. Now i do think that multiple universes or parallel dimensions being interesting, and i agree with what NoUseFrAName said about how with every possibility already happened its a great way to give the illusion of free will while keeping everything predestined. Even if it is true it still fits within my idea of time because all things begin and end the same way, so no mater how many alternate paths the universe takes its still just a big loop.

Great thread.
Yes, it's true our galaxy is actually contained in a tiny particle located between the supersized buttcheeks of god himself. He has just taken a dump and is reaching around to wipe his ass clean along with our entire existence. But the thing is god's time passes as a much much slower rate as ours. So, this naturally answers our next question, what is the meaning of life? No it's not 42, it's whether or not we can build a big enough missile to take out god before he flushes our galaxy down the toilet.
So if I was the president of Earth, I would stop worrying about peace in the middle east and start making bigger weapons of mass destruction.
Oh wait, we already are.. nevermind.
Hope you get my point. Doesn't have to be about god and missiles. I just think there's something way bigger at work and we must do whatever we can to find out what that is. We don’t want to miss out from our share of that sweet galactic pie do we?
Meanwhile I must concentrate on drawing naked ladies and stroking pixels. Because a time may come when your photoshop skillz could save the galaxy.

interesting...although I'd view it less as though everything has happened, and more just like 'every possibility is.' but that's beside the point...it doesn't really have any relevance to what you said.
I totally dig the way you described it as a drawing.
...so far as building a time machine goes.....I'd lean to believe that it'd depend more on our understanding of consciousness/awareness than the linear understanding of time that most subscribe to.
so far as the big bang goes, I have more theories about that stuff....particularly pertaining to the evolution vs. creation argument.
Again, the as both an existentialist and catholic, I believe in both.
...consider this....when you paint an environment, generally you don't paint a flat piece of land with seeds supposedly underneath the ground.....you'll paint a forest with trees of all shapes and sizes.....trees with a history to them. All life starts as a seed, but that's not to say that you must begin with a seed when you create a tree on your painting.....same goes for God as a creator....for an entity with literally unlimited ability, 7 days is an eternity to accomplish anything....even in the standard which we percieve time by today.....no need to say seven days was like 7 millenia to God...it doesn't matter....no use in putting limits on something that the infinite can do, right?
Anyways, according to biblical historians and whatnot, the universe has only existed for somewhere around 3-5000 years....while according to big bang subscribers the universe is more like billions of years old.....
I'm inclined to think that both are right. While the big bang is a sound theory, the moment you bring a creator into the equation, is the same time you must allow for the possibility that 5000 years ago the world was made like an old tree in a painting....that is to say, it was created with a history. The big bang is that history.....the seed that you wouldn't see in the painting.....but the seed that would have had to be there for the tree to be.
Just as the history of the tree gives it character, so does our history....a timeline of a marvelous evolution that we can learn from....

hey ion you should read a book on descartes, you would dig his stuff.
my philosophy on the meaning of life is two parts. the first is the most basic facet of our existence which is reproduction, which of course can be viewed in higher (emotional) terms. the second being that you contribute something back to society to furthur it in any facet; be it science, technology, musically, artistically, whatever. and it doesn't matter how large or small an impact you make as long as you're inspiring someone else along the way. we would be nothing without the progress made by our ancestors, so lets continue the progress for a better tomorrow eh?

As an Agnostic i wont say that God doesnt exist, but if he does i will go far to say that i belive God would have to be a 4-dimentional being. That is to say not bound by time as we know it.
The 4th dimention is time, and a being who existed entirely in the 4th dimention would not actually have a perception of time. In addition, this type of being would not be bound by time.
Going back to my erlier statement a being who lives in the 4th dimention would be person looking at the drawing of the "timeline" on the table, able to exist at all points on the timeline at the same moment.
So i could see how if there is a god, that 7 days could be 7 billion years.
This idea also touches on one of my philosophies on the afterlife.... but thats for another time :)

RH: might that be the notion that all of our individual conscious entities are really just iterations of the same universal awareness, existing as many times in as many places at any time as possible, simply because it can and does? Just as we exist and are aware of our universe only because we exist in a universe that allows it, this universal "self", unbound by linear time or space, exists in sentient life. Just an idea I had, which I really can't believe any more than the idea that there is a giant caucasian superhero in outer space battling an evil red goat-man with an army of righteous bird-people. I refer, of course, to our eternal father, Flash Gordon. Flash! Aaa-aah, it's already 5 AM again!

Retinal Haze, you make a good point about the seven day theroy. There is a sect. of Christianity that believe in this way. I take the Bible literally in this aspect. I believe the world was created in seven days. I know this goes against alot of theroys such as evolution and the big bang to name a few. I do believe in evolution in a sence. I think species will evolve in one way or another (skin pigmintation or something of that nature), but I don't believe in cross species evolution (a fish evolving into a bird and so fourth). However, I don't think anyone can take an honest look at the world, and not believe that some ultimate force is behind its creation, and believe that its one big cosmic accident. Thats my take on it anyway...

on a side note....what do you guys think about DE JA VU?
i think its a form of precognscient sight. perhaps time has already happened, and although you have freewill, youve already lived your life through time. so when you get de ja vu your subconscious is realizing an event that you already knew would take place, you just hadnt brought it to the conscious surface until that moment.

Actually i heard two different ways to explain de ja vu, and they both made sense.
First being that deja-vu is actually a glitch in your optic system, where one eye sees things before the other sees them. So you perceive as one happening already. Now that could be a good explanation.
Second, being deja-vu is actually a hiccup in your memory system. Instead of a memory being "filed" in your short-term memory it bypasses it and gets put in the long-term memory area. This makes us feel as if what we had just experienced and are remembering has already happened way before that point in time.
I dont have any evidence to support either of these claims, and i wont say there my own ideas. However, i will say i dont think deja-vu is some type of precognition.
Stalecracker, the sum of an infinate series still equals 1. Meaning 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16......... + 1/1024... all they way to infinity still equal 1. So thats why even though you always have 1/2 the distance to cover to any object you still hit it eventually. Or the explination to that paradox, as i undesrtand it. :)
M.C.Barrett, no i speak of FLESH GORDON, the horrible softcore porno! But i like your idea, it could explain alot about reincarnation, being that you could in your perspective lead hundreds of lives.

That may be true, but you're still stupid. Hehe, just messin'. :beer: I'm forming this conclusion after seeing my high school peers wear black and turn lazy. Of course, there are tons of exceptions, so I'm not trying to make any conclusions. Because when you really get down to it, making a conclusion using a philosophy is like judging the entire human race all at once, isn't it? And that would be pretty damn proud of me, nyah? :D That's why I don't take this stuff too seriously, but it's sure as heck a lotta fun.

If all creatures are merly extentions of its own will, then what use would this "god" have for a morality code or any interaction with its spawn? A being like that would have no perception of good or evil.
i would be interested to hear wether you belive in an intelligent design creation theory or evolutionist idea.

There are only two things I know for certain.
1. I am who I am at this moment.
2. A singluar, omnipotent, being of higher power must exist.

Another philosophy (is that even what I should call these?) is that we all see things differently. my green is your blue. but the thing is when I say or write blue you here or read green.when I see Elliot Grey you see an artist. beauty is in the eye of the beholder but sometimes people just can't see the ugly.
you know what I'm just bullshiting:bs: stuff I'm just bored and having a pot head moment but I was wondering what philosophies you people have that might sound crazy.
P.S. I'm not a pot head I just think like one. I also space out a lot and then snap out of them with a frown on my face...hmm I wonder If thats bad. oh yeah and did you know 3 outta 4 sasquatches read my comic :D The Melting Pot...hmm
That's crap. The end. I would hate to see what kind of junk you would come up with on pot.

THANKS!:D...sometimes I wonder about myself as well...
heres another philosophy: war will never end because some people love the fight. Me when people get mad and wanna start shit I just ignore them if they are weak stupid people, but if they piss me off and I really want to fight I just smile and laugh at them that usually gets things going...none of that internet fighting though thats just gay (no offense homosexual people)
