^ I told you, Loco reminds me of my cousin who turned out to be gay. Just saying.
I'm pretty sure he's not gay, but we'd get a rise out of listening to what kind of porn his wanks too, and how he does it. All Nihilistc/pessimisstic people got the craziest masturbation habits.
But when it comes to relationships and girls, they want emotions involved, respect, a bond n so forth. Not just casual sex, that's not intriguing or complex enough.
Not saying he is. Just saying beneath some person's way of thinking is something underneath that makes them think that way.

just wanted to interject here with heisenbergs uncertainty principle ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle) since this is the quantum mechanical proof that debunks determinism.
as for everything else, I don't know why you even bother arguing with marius.
Quantum indeterminacy =/= free will. Not knowing where the electron is does not affect the outcome of biological reactions. Just because we cannot tell where an electron is, or sort out some of the craziness of quantum mechanics, that doesn't mean that we aren't still bound by their laws. Randomness doesn't rid the fact that we're still controlled by it, all our actions determined and human agency an illusion.

Why did you dig that up palak? Not that I mind, but I'm not sure what brought you to search for it. Is it just so that brambolius guesses my age? And I'm about to be 25 brambolius... I really saw no reason to reply just to mention that.
Also shame that you didn't quote the other pic I was mimicking, that was the funny part.

I was figuring ppl could always look up the pic u r mimicking...I like the juxtaposition of ur philosophical determinism with that picture ...I have nothing of actual value to contribute to the discussion (aka i suck at philosophy)
dont tap the glass...im about ready to take a fucking hammer to the aquarium
It's important to be able to laugh (and especially at oneself) when you have a sinister outlook on life. Laughter is an act of superiority, a triumph over the universe, a marvelous thing that reduces things to their just proportions...

We have no cause to reject the possibility of the existence of organisms endowed
with such properties that would make of them -- the direct embodiment of the universal mind -- a perfection inaccessible to our own (human) mind. . . .
Because, we have no right to maintain that man is the last expression of the divine
creative thought.
Our reason must accept in all necessity an infinite and eternal Mind which rules
and governs the ocean of life. . . . Thought and creative ideation, in full agreement
with the laws of unity and causation, manifest themselves plainly enough in
universal life without the participation of brain-slush. . . . Directing the forces and
elements toward the formation of organisms, this organizing life-principle
becomes self-sentient, self-conscious, racial or individual. Substance, ruled and
directed by the life-principle, is organized according to a general defined plan
into certain types. . . .
He explains this belief by confessing that never, during his long life so full of study, observation,
and experiments, could he --
acquire the conviction, that our brain could be the only organ of thought in the
whole universe, that everything in this world, save that organ, should be
unconditioned and senseless, and that human thought alone should impart to the universe a meaning and a reasonable harmony in its integrity.
And he adds a propos of Moleschott's materialism:
Howsoever much fish and peas I may eat, never shall I consent to give away my
Ego into durance vile of a product casually extracted by modern alchemy from the
urine. If, in our conceptions of the Universe it be our fate to fall into illusions,
then my "illusion" has, at least, the advantage of being very consoling. For, it
shows to me an intelligent Universe and the activity of Forces working in it
harmoniously and intelligently; and that my "I" is not the product of chemical and
histological elements but an embodiment of a common universal Mind. The latter,
I sense and represent to myself as acting in free will and consciousness in
accordance with the same laws which are traced for the guidance of my own
mind, but only exempt from that restraint which trammels our human conscious
individuality.
The limitless and the eternal, is not only a postulate of our mind and reason, but
also a gigantic fact, in itself. What would become of our ethical or moral principle
were not the everlasting and integral truth to serve it as a foundation!

Oh, I think you did the math the wrong way. You can't always get what you ask for, each time I ask Loco for something I get the opposite. We humans are funny that way.
