If I just assumed and got ahead of you there, regarding something you were sincere about, even in jest or comedy towards us ALL, simply by virtue of our very presence, but not intended to poke fun at any one in particular, unless it's you - then I'm sorry, for assuming, as I just hate when people do that with me and my ideas, especially when they are operating from a position of ignorance of the context and the framing itself.

It wasn't until I laid down to think about the lay-out and introduction that I realized that Plenary Metaphysical Solipsism could be taken as some kind of joke - PMS.

There isn't any joke intended. But yes, reading your posts on this thread did get me to thinking of formalizing some of my theories. I like the name, I think I can live with the PMS jokes.

Tentative title idea: Consensual Reality or Consentual Reality?

A couple of quotes come to mind, short and sweet:

No one is normal, there are just a lot of weird people with things in common.

2nd = Reality is for people who lack imagination.

My .02¢

Sometimes a thread is like going to a flea market and finding a Picasso.

actually someone convinced me of it long time ago, and then the news and stuff I read sort of confirmed it. Now I know something is up. MIght not be the end of the world but smtg is going on for sure.

I didn't go Looking for this, it came upon me. So no, now all people who think of 'teotwawki' are mentally ill.

As much as TPTB try to generalize the further one is from experiencing the truth as it really is.

sitting in the corner with a laptop open to a blank screen and a dead battery typing away like youre really writing something........and laughing as you talk to the empty coke bottle..............THATS mental illness.

Hey, that brings back wonderful memories! It was a desktop computer with a fried hard drive though, and it was an empty coffee cup. Then I discovered that I could write just as good of stuff while sleeping in the next room. Wild and wonderful days! And even now when I get nostalgic I just read back over some of what I wrote back then, and sometimes what the computer wrote on its own.

I suppose that maybe I don't fear mental illness, It does help me "think outside the box"

So yes we are sick.
Otherwise we would go to website's that sing songs about lollypops and rainbows

You some how managed to go from "People who think the world is ending are mentaly ill" to "People who visit conspiracy websites are mentally ill". You seriously think someone who visits websites about lollipops and rainbows and is more intelligent than a person who actually seeks to know what go on in this messed up world? I think you are mentally ill to be honest.

Right now regardless the OP is saying "people who think the world is ending are mentally ill", here is the sad fact. The world is mentally ill in general. So, what's the difference? Nothing.

There are mentally ill mega-lo-man idiots, whose are believing they can do anything.
There are mentally ill religious fanatics, whose are believing they can do anything, because in that case the holy messenger will come and save them.
There are mentally ill people in life, whose are beating their wives and their children to death.
There are mentally ill people on the world, whose are believing money is everything and it brings salvation.
There are mentally ill control freaks whose believing lying about everything is going to make them kings or Gods.

And finally there are few people with sanity whose are actually capable to take up questions or even feel what the future might bring, because of the upper mentioned points which is capable to end this world anytime, especially because of the psycho mega-lo-man idiots, the religious fanatics, the greedy people and the liar control freaks.

In a world which is full with mentally ill people, the people with sanity may looks mentally ill, but unfortunately they're the last people with true sanity.

You're wrong. Except for neocons, we aren't looking for fear. We are looking for irreparable and unstoppable transformation. We want our mundane lives as consumers to be changed into something more meaningful. We want our identity as small men on a small world in a dark universe to be seen, recognized, and appreciated. The type of change we desire can only come through some massive external intervention or perhaps something more conventional but on a massive scale like a disaster of some kind. As long as the force is beyond our own control and so powerful that there is nothing any one man can do to stop it, there will be no guilt on the part of those who survive and benefit from it. We obsess over the possibility and potential of such an event so that perhaps we will be uniquely prepared for its arrival. Our preparation will give us the respect and authority we seek should the time come. Imagining and being lost in that dream is often more enticing then the routine of modern life, a gilded cage that no one knows is there.

The world is ending, the world is always in a state of ending and rebirth even when the sun goes kaput, who knows what will be by then. Trustfully nothing is really ending in this day and age, its more like changing, there is not more evil and bad in this world then in the past, its more like now we get to see what is going on in the world more clearly....So we see more clearly on what exactly is going on right under our noses.

Cool thread

But i think you're in denial

Denial
is a defense mechanism postulated by Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a FACT that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead

Have a good Christmas tho

reply to post by pthena


The first one was better I think, I won't laugh, these days everything is starting to look kind of hilarious, must be the Christmas season or something.

reply to post by HappilyEverAfter
Thank you. Happy holidays. Are we human cousins too, or totem cousins (hate to use the word only here, cuz that sounds diminishing)?

The second was the name of the thread upon which to present the theory named in the first. Which is up by the way. Won't link to it because that could be considered "hijacking".

reply to post by TheAmused


Is that a fact May the end come soon than because this bipolar disorder sure sucks Merry Christmas there POPtart

reply to post by TheAmused


Not everyone who thinks the world is ending is afraid. Some of us (like me) look forward to the end of this corrupt world and a new beginning.

We are on a rock,
floating around the universe,
traveling at 1,000,000 KPH,
around a gigantic fireball.
Only 400 KM separates us from the hell of space.
Know one knows how we got here,
the reason for our existence,
or how we work.

Only a fool would not be a little worried.
