Making you feel bad literally affects the way you feel.
Feel cold? Well the solution to that is to just feel warm.

What’s up with all the masks? Do they want to be anonymous?
Most of the people here are feral rugrats. They would downvote the sky for being blue.
Consider the bloody mary.
Tomato. Arguably a fruit. Juiced. With vodka. A grind of pepper. Some other mysterious stuff.
Then a whole breakfast stuffed into the top. Celery. Pickles. Fried chicken. Go wild.
There’s a deep beauty there. Beyond the hearty morning buzz.
Is it all craftsman?
I have heard it’s just the craftsman power tools. Which I avoid. But I got a $100 impact driver that’s still going strong after 4 years.
But the hand tools. Got a screwdriver. Seems ok.
Did they get sold to China?
Classic Margaret.
A billion years ago we figured out acquisition. Grab all the stuff.
A million years ago we figured out language.
Now we use language for acquisition. If we do that efficiently enough we can convert language to acquisition 100%. Which deletes all value from the language for us. But what a great business!
It seems easily done. The only snag I see is getting poop on the camera. Ideally you’d drill a hole and mount a lens flush. But drilling curved porcelain is a bitch.
What a twist!
And you found it so darn offensive that you needed to ignore my point and insult me. I sympathize.
Whenever anybody tries to talk about anything strange and significant you people get defensive. It’s as if you actually prefer to be boring, mediocre and shitty. You’ve got a deathgrip on it.
Most of us use “mind” to refer to intellect. The thing we think with, where all the ideas are.
But the Buddhists are referring to your “attention”. Like a flashlight, you direct it at stuff. Sights, sounds, thoughts, etc.
That’s 2 quite different things. “Open your mind” is a different thing there.
It highlights the role of interpretation in our social epistemology. A dozen people can cite the same argument, all nodding their heads wisely, coming to a good and reasonable agreement, yet hold a dozen different meanings
This is especially disturbing when you consider that, for most of us, most of our knowledge consists of such secondhand, literally-interpreted abstractions. And then this bogus knowledge is firmly validated by our similarly deluded peers.
An organic version of The Matrix.
Meh. All reasoning is grounded in emotion. Even atheistic reasoning. That’s why argumentation does zip. It’s like trying to fix a warped floor by moving the rug around.
Yes, we all know the reason. Nonetheless.
