Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

Wahahahahahaha!

Respectfully, left to your own devices many of you move strictly off of impulse & 'herd' mentality rather then forming your own identity

I think I have a new ambition...to be part of an alpaca herd.

I would if it meant Mike Rowe would come and shave me.

Where can I sign up for this?

You think if I knew I'd be here?

He did it on a Dirty Jobs episode. It's actually my favorite episode. They shave the cameraman at the end.

Do you already have a publishing company willing to pay you for this? Getting anything that falls into the realm of non-fiction (does this, really?) is close to impossible without already having a good editor and a publishing house looking for a specific NF topic.

This is the kind of topic that isn't likely to lead to a profitable reader base, so publishing houses tend to shy away unless the person writing is a media sensation (either positive or negative), a college professor with a captive audience required to pay the requisite $250 for a course textbook (and in most cases, these are generally self-published unless the professor is recognized as an expert and likely to garner additional profits from other institutions utilizing the text), a renowned historian writing on a topic that has garnered substantial interest based on the Nielsen performance of an on-point documentary, or a renowned scientist discussing a controversial topic.

So, I guess what I'm getting at is without pre-funding, any book you would write on the subject would be purely for self-edification. As such, what any of us think is entirely inconsequential.

:flowerforyou:

Awe.. vanity publishing will help significantly decrease your bank account Best wishes and Good luck The happy face will lead you to believe my IQ is <175.

Decrease? - It won't do anything for my bank account either way? Unless you mean the opportunity cost from the time invested in constructing it?

no, she means no one is going to publish your self serving crap unless you pay for it.


and btw, psychology and philosophy is generally where college students end up when they can't hack it in a real major.

I should know lol

Kierkegaard is for chumps.

Care to elaborate on that? I look up to him a great, great deal. - He provided more insight for the individual then even Nietzsche.

*Than even.

So make your point boss - how is he for chumps?

Subjectivity as truth is the biggest load of horse **** ever devised by man. It is the exact opposite of what science reveals. At least science doesn't have the pretension to think it can possess truth... science gives the best explanation for the here and now. If there is anything I don't have patience for, it is debating pop philosophy on the internet.

There is not a great deal to debate - we are not capable of even knowing 'truth'. I'm making the case that existentialism is great for battling existential depression/crisis that occur when someone posses a nihilistic ideology - it provides an outlet. I'm a bit of a determinist myself, the randomness of electrons in quantum mechanics is what keeps me from saying there is ZERO free will - however it is certainly not in the makeup of those having their virtue and self made through collective reasoning.

And sure science gives the best explanation for here and now, but I don't know how that could aid someone experiencing an existential crisis. - Sure, entanglement theory leading me to believe that despite the 'importance' I'm saying of personality development their could maybe(?) be a collective conscious due to everything being entangled pre-bang? And Nassim Haramein taking the universe to the subatomic level expounded on Einsteins space-time curve saying it was a double torus shape making an 'infinite feedback loop' with infinite energy - sorta sounds like.. you know! consciousness? - could give meaning that there is something beyond us.

I however personally experience a subjective consciousness - so the idea that there is nothing worthwhile in exploring existentialism because there is no truth seems silly - basically all is relative.

:shrug: I want to write though on applied psychology/philosophy for those that find the void and angst a great burden to shoulder.

I respect and see your point. I am personally experiencing a subjective consciousness so I see value in existentialism.

Don't know how beneficial it is once you break out terms like simpleton, accusations like "left to your own devices many of you move strictly off of impulse & 'herd' mentality rather then forming your own identity".

The current manner of enforcement of the community guidelines is entirely perplexing to me.

Your reference to quantum mechanics in that pop-culture, hand-waving, spiritual sense proves you the embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Perhaps that is why you raise your idea here at a fitness forum rather than at a high-IQ or philosophy forum? Because quantum mechanics?

cutting edge physics suggests that the reality we precieve doesn't really match the physical world, matter is mostly empty space and its really the contructs of your own perception that prevents your had from passing though a solid counter top...

Am I the only one with a genius level IQ wondering why someone would be foolish enough to believe people on the internet when they say they have a genius level IQ?

Oh, I'm sorry, is my intellectual overexcitability showing?
