  1. That's not a "modern world notion", that's the default view of all of humanity, with the exception of a handful influenced by Buddhist philosophy or Husserl or perhaps Hume, etc

  2. How to you know you're a "being that knows"? At best you know that there is knowing.

  3. Afloat and woke pilled.

  4.  @FelixConstant  Of course there is. Maybe there wouldn't have been given a different evolutionary history. But as things are, people's belief in self goes on even when they're alone, not thinking about others, completely unafraid of being confronted by anyone. At the same time you can be very much engaged in thinking about others and the self is completely gone, such as reading a novel.

  5. You're completely lost in confusion and magical thinking. Pure conceptualization and no attention to your direct experience. You think you are better than an "animal" or a "robot", because you are a mythical creature to yourself. If you had an ounce of attention, that delusion would be shattered.

  6. Why do you think Lovecraft was a fascist? I don't detect fascism in the writings either. Xenophobia is quite noticable and often even integral to the horror, but I don't see anything fascist.

  7. @thatmind13 Either all animals are rational or none are. You don't always find the best solution given your resources and neither does a squirrel or a salmon.

  8. "Needs" aren't ever "met" , because they are relative. Because to your genes it doesn't matter how much you have. It matters that you have more than your competition. You can always have more women or a man with higher status. To think that humans simply turn off if you give them X, is obviously wrong.

  9.  @Deantrey  I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about and I bet you are just parroting others instead of genuinely reflecting your experience. A cat has all of the problems you have in slightly different form.

  10.  @ernststravoblofeld  Me. I'm for eugenics, sex with children and animals, the legalization of all drugs and the abolition of borders.
