'No Ego' and 'Non-self'

[Intellectus]

I understand...but I don't really care. There are many forums and many ways to express myself. If I am not wanted here, I will gladly go. But for some reason, I came back.


You are entitled to your opinions and you are welcome to share them here if you want to talk about them.

All I ask is that everything be civil and I will endeavor to do the same.

I don't class myself as a 'Social Justice Warrior' to be honest, but neither am I anti-feminist, reactionary or conservative. I have left leaning libertarian views that are anti-capitalist and have read extensively on feminism and post-structuralism/structuralism etc. I don't get along with the Social Justice community as I hold views that they disagree with and they usually refuse to talk about them, they can be just as bad as those they point the finger at.

I don't like identity politics and criticise it often. I don't fall into traps that lead to tribalism and I certainly don't associate people with others they have never interacted with simply because they say similar things, I try my best to talk about things and I try to distance myself from sensitive topics so that I can talk about in an intellectual way, some may see this as 'cold hard logic', but all I am interested in is actually knowing what something means and how it relates to other ideas.

I hope you stay and that you continue to contribute to the forum. I was thinking of nominating you for member of the month when the nominations open tomorrow actually. :)


I agree and apologize wholeheartly with my comments. Sometimes my gut brain goes off and my brain just follows as I believe the gut brain is the key to self-awareness....anyways. I will stay because I was really thinking about you guys and how much you guys helped me. I wouldn't have created "it" without this forum. Thank you.

Really glad you got something out of the forum and I feel the same way.When I opened the forum, I made a post 'Hi, I am the admin' and in that I mention how talking about philosophy can seem personal sometimes, I completely empathise with you on that.

A forum is a place to test your ideas, but it's also a community where we make friends. I wanted to create a place where people could search on Google, find a thread on here and see loads of contrasting points of view that will hopefully give them lots of information.

You are most welcome and without members, a forum can't grow. The more differing points of view, the better, we are all different and I don't agree with censorship, or starting hate campaigns and I only ever use the moderator tools when someone is being really disruptive, threatening or spamming/trolling.

We need to think positively like this about ourselves to have better days.

I don't know what the original incident was about or who was calling who what in 2017, but there were certain interesting statements or key terms that caught my attention in the original post.

It made me think how similar and different I am from each person, even two people who might be deemed opposite in some ways, I likely can find major similsrities and differences with them, with fluctuating impulses, that I could be more like that or feel more like that one moment or in certain circumstances and then opposite or different or like another the next, almost to the point where it almost barely matters at all.

At the same time, I'm not like any of them, and I believe that in secret, underneath all their layers and titles, they are like me, animal, good, animal, wants solution, animal wants peace, bloody if no other way, the peace of the charnel house.
