Indeed. Indeed.

But hey, a scary thing makes a weird thing and a weird thing makes an interesting thing.

Asceticism can be considered a method within hedonism, since it can lead to greater and more refined pleasure.

Look man, I'll be honest with you - that's pretty deep.

I mean, "real" is the term we use to distinguish things that exist for everyone from things that only exist in your mind. So, yes, if you think that only "Being" is real, then you really are crazy.

Yes why?
On the side note, did not ask of your political views.

Left yes.

Let us get started now.
People had inherited names.
You would take on your fathers name.
Sometimes people reinvented the same name.
It was never stolen.
Therefore last names were invented yes.
They describe an job or evolvmenthereof such.
In any way, people develop.
Bad traits are also therefore inherited as extra points.

If you're like everyone else, solipsism will be beaten out of you by life. This life guy seems to be pretty skillful at this.
But if you turn out to be special... Things like terminal lucidity show that there's likely no real limit to our ability to ignore reality.
So you can be Neo. Except, there is nowhere to escape to, and the reward for breaking the game is your inability to play it... Well. The pleasure button exists.

This is just a quote from einstein. He surely doesn't mean it. People that take that too to heart create problems in people. Also yes it means you ignore obvious problems in the world to save yourself. It's unethical.

These are the people whom allow promotion of violence/conflict as virtue

Strong people don't seek forgiveness, for their mind can be moved only by their own will.
Forgiveness is only necessary when you're weak enough to be hurt but know not to torture yourself beyond that.

I hope God gifts me with eternal life. He marks;
>my spirit will not struggle with humanity for eternity, but he shall live 120 years

Lord I hope my rod in the back has fit and enlarged my mind to not struggle, but to do the will of my God and earn that glory of Enos who pleased the Lord, and was not

Human life isn't mandatory.
Just be "poor in spirit," as in don't desire anything earthly, and "the kingdom of heaven" is yours.
"Ask and you shall receive"... It's like the main guiding principle behind the rebirth process. For whatever we learn to seek in life, our mind will go and take after death, once this body is destroyed and playing human is physically impossible.
And you can stay above, happy and free, until your current pain is completely forgotten and can no longer keep your gaze away from this realm. Then, you'll repeat the cycle for the sake of rare little pleasures that can be found here... For even a heavenly being, naturally, should ignore what is common and pursue what is rare.
This is called being reasonable.

It's a simple matter of taste and preference. Not everyone has to be into exactly the same things. What is more to say about it?

Past experience. The sum of all past experience related to the object.
The foundation of all is that a perfectly inactive mind is perfectly pleasant. And when the mind is pleasant, whatever it perceives is beautiful... Unless your past experience overwrites this.
And upon this foundation, as the mind keeps flowing from delightful inactivity to stressful activity and back, countless things are evaluated based on how the mind feels right now, and temporal preferences are built. Them preferences delude the mind and keep it from returning to the primordial emptiness.

Ironically there are physicists that disagree with the assumption that genetics determine the appearance of flowers and plants.

Pretty accurate, lol.

Another thing is that genetic homeostasis prevents any kind of alteration.

>Inbreeding and Selectional Studies of Drosophila melanogaster.
>The eyeless gene of Drosophila, which causes in general a reduction of the size of the eye in the adult fly, does not seem to produce a constant effect.

Even if you select two groups of fruit flies that both have a deleterious mutation (they're born eyeless) they can still produce offspring that have normal eyes. "Natural selection" is a meaningless concept that doesn't prove anything.
