  • could you please give me more info on the quote you paraphrased about not being able to recognize a quality in another that was not in oneself? Who wrote that? (Lu Chao?) -- I can't find that exact quote through google. Thanks.

  • @emblemOFbeing I believe it is Lui Shao

  • "If your unhappy with the world then change the self"

    If an individual is in a dire enough situation then it will overwhelm him regardless of how much he changes or improves or how he acts.

  • It is not the things that trouble us, but the meanings of things. Again: It is not the things but the thought of the things. Even death is not a trouble; the trouble begins when we take under our control what is naturally beyond our jurisdiction.

  • Ive been looking for new channels to watch, nice one subbed and 5 *

  • Well done and well said!

    Everything exists only in relationship to other-the knower and the known. We should reflect on this deeply, as you have done : )

  • Waking Life would have been much better if you were in it

  • "If your unhappy with the world then change the self"

    This quote is misplaced in your hippie postmodernistic "let's otherize ourselves" story. Please re-read what it says, because Chinese conformism isn't really what you're trying to communicate with it, even though "change the self" says more about China's sense of passivity than it does about your "mystical point".

    By the way: please refrain from talking mysticism when dabbling in science. It's rather annoying and not very professional.

  • hmm.. If reality is in self intelligent then Artificial intelligent not need to be made. More like try get that inteliget manifest same level as humans.

  • "become otherised by radiclly other others

    the more other the others are who otherise you" LOL

  • Dostoevsky Possessed:(Might compare Kojeve 86)—Man is unhappy because he does not know he is happy. Its only that. Thats all, that is all! If one finds out, one will become happy at once, that minute.

    For what it's worth.

  • Tell me the truth now. Are you drunk?

    I've seen your other comments. This does not rate.

  • "The Tathagatas do not regard mind under the form of know-

    able and knower. Where knower and knowable prevail there is

    no enlightenment."
