Quote:Please eloborate for my sake on how I am naive in my explications?
From what I gather throughout this thread you seem to speak for great swathes of people, attaching to them weak linguistic concepts that are difficult to prove or disprove.
Quote:We act like zombies, cutoff from an emotional processing of a wonderfully intelligent universe.
Whilst this may, on the surface appear to be an innocent attempt at pigeon-holing the people that you encounter. I have some hard news for you: In your mind it may appear as though people are emotionally cut-off (you probably don't make much eye contact do you?) but it is in fact quite the opposite. Although I cannot speak for humanity as a whole, I would be happy to bet my life that a considerably large percentage of the population is implicated deep within this
"wonderfully intelligent universe", blissfully enjoying all of its precious bounty.
Quote:This can be seen when slaves were employed in the 18th & 19th century, most knew they were in a rotten situation but couldn't do anything about it because of there instincts for life. It is this survival mechanism which makes slaves so easily taken advantage of.
This speaks for itself.
Quote:We are all in need of an existential crisis so that it can either be mass suicide or mass water supply usage of DMT.
This line in particular perpetuates an extremely narrow view of the world that is hidden behind self-aggrandisement. This character has graced the stage before: Jonestown, Waco Texas etc. I don't think you are a sociopath yet, but this kind of talk does not help. Even if it is in jest.Quote:Boredom is a dissatisfaction of the world, when we are being satisfied we are not bored.
Again, you speak of "we" as though a wizard atop a mountain preaches to the townsfolk. The problem is though, the wisdom in which you preach is somewhat inaccurate and I will gladly elaborate on this.
To be bored - feeling weary and impatient because one is unoccupied or lacks interest in one's current activity.
To be satisfied - fulfilment of one's wishes, expectations, or needs, or the pleasure derived from this.
These two terms co-exist within each other. The quest for satisfaction implies that one is
occupied with a task or activity that will eventually lead to satisfaction. If this is not attained, one feels
dissatisfied. But they are still
occupied with the task of attaining satisfaction. Now, one can be
bored throughout the entire process but this is especially true when satisfaction is realised because one is
no longer occupied with the task of attaining satisfaction.
I am not going to go into elaborate detail on what I find to be the most troubling aspects of this thread, I am not qualified (and this train has been de-railed far off the track of the OP). But I will point them out. These Examples are out of context.

Quote:but perhaps I have a different subjectivity that is disallowing me that right.
Quote:I wish travelling could fix it but it is of a different nature. My problem lies in the emotional textures of qualia and fathoming through meaning by feeling. Travelling only alters awareness in a way which isn't relevant to my problem psychologically. I need to blow my mind in another respect.
Quote:Like taking a magnificent natural child and forcing him with malice to see the world through a particular kind of way by brainwashing him repeatedly in a room for days on end. He comes out knowing that he is seeing the world differently and can't do anything about it because the brainwashing never ends. So he takes psychedelics to help, all they do is take the brainwashed state and amplify & mutate it and they don't ever deliver him back to his true original state.
Quote:You all are trying to pass acceptance on to me
Quote: Perhaps that's why it was so easy in the past to wage mass warfare, because deep down people knew the conditions human beings find themselves in aren't what they ought to be but then again who am I to judge anything hmm? It's not like I have to experience any of it
Quote:I have tried but it seems I am in a straight-jacket situation untill I can leave the world behind and dissolve in to my own mind, which for a western worlder is very hard!
Quote:You are right, I need movement... movement in to another realm full of awe and meaning.
Quote:My boredom is not boredom in the usual sense. It's boredom like a systematiclly conditioned interperation of the interconnectedness of sense impressions that render life drab and uninteresting when the glory of it all is before my very eyes.
Quote: So, best to conclude out there is not the right place to be but rather 'in here'.
Quote:It is as if the whole world was a simulation and the programmer was playing a joke on me in order to get me to realize something
Quote:Good advice as all things pass in time, even myself thank god.
Quote:So, I infered that out there wasn't the place to be because when you try more than ten times on a big scale(plane ticket,6 month course etc.) you just know that reality itself isn't giving you the goods for a reason.
Quote:Everything I do has a great deal of meaning, it is just that I can not feel anymore.
Quote:In my existance, reality never seems to offer up the goods for me...
