Very interesting indeed, thank you. This, however, means that there is no true consciousness. There are only, let's say, "manufactured" truths: is anything we have ever thought really true? Probably not. Which leads me to my former thoughts: are we in a position to manufacture our own...

Both. Well, the thing is, I don't believe this is true. Can we really control or change the world, or are we living the same thing over and over again? Are our lives programmed by a creator or the collective consciousness of mankind? Do we really choose?

I'm sorry, but I don't agree. If one's opinion is definitely wrong (but, as I believe, there rarely is something which is 100% right or wrong), he/she should be politely notified of that fact. Hatred never helps, trust me.

Well, that does solve the problem of material existence. But what about our "consciousness"? Our thoughts, our feelings, our aspirations and fears? How and why did these develop?

As I wasn't expecting this kind of feedback, I believe it is now time to let you in on my personal perception of life. If you find my ideas radical, please do not express hatred or any similar feelings, just ignore me. WHY ARE WE HERE? Probably the first question to ever cross man's mind...

Well, indeed this is true, but what are your very personal thoughts on the subject? How did this "consciousness" develop and what is it exactly?

Exactly. If you really can't stand the felling, it's no use to try and repress it. Go to the restaurant and apologize (although it will look odd, since it's not your fault) for your somewhat stressed behaviour the other day. Try to fix things up a bit. Indeed. Totally agree to this one. You...

Anything to help another fellow Lovecraftian! Personally, I would, in fact, try to relax and let my brain rest for a while, but I wouldn't call that meditation. I have never practiced any form of meditation, so I am unaware of the procedures and possible outcomes of such a daily practice...

Well, I'm going to keep it simple: Explain to her that she's important to you as a FRIEND, not a romantic partner. Perhaps she thinks you see her more like your "special someone" and not simply a friend. In case she has a problem with being just a friend, by all means, she can do whatever...

Now, the reason I did not start this thread in the "Religion" section, is that I believe it is not a religious, rather a philosophical matter. So, fellow Escapist, why are we here? What is this experience called "life"? What will happen to us after we die? IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please, I CAN NOT...

Tell me about it... in Greece, it is a man's DUTY (meaning it's compulsory) to serve in the army for an 18-month period RIGHT AFTER you graduate from high school. When I finally started my university studies, women who had the same age as me were a year and a half CLOSER to finishing theirs...

Exactly! In most games, the main features given to players' avatars are that of a self-perpetuating, stereotypic "übermenschen": the so-called ultimate man (machistic, muscular, war/sex machine) and woman (almost perfect figure, erotic nudity, sexually stimulating behaviour). The point is, these...

In case you're interested in political/social thrillers, you might want to check out some of Enki Bilal's work: The Nikopol Trilogy, The Chaos Effect, Exterminator 17, The Town That Didn't Exist and so on.

In Greece, one can get a driver's license only after eighteen years of age.
