philosophy thread metaphysics edition Andrea on a phone thangy 06/22/25 (Sun) 07:55:45 No.1194407 [Reply]

What is the true nature of reality?
What is stuff really like. Does objective reality exist exactly as you experience it? Does nothing really exist outside your mind and is all of reality actually a dream or simulation of some sort? Or is it something at some point between those two extremes?

Also, stoned Andrea thread

My personal sense is that objective reality exists, but anywhere and everywhere humanity hates it and wishes to live in fantasy.

I would systemically agree with Plato and everybody after him who believe in fundamental ideas of "metaphysical absolutism".

Objective qualities of shared mental experiences are real. The physical universe is real. Society is real. In summary, real things are real.

Reality exists whether or not you accept it. A river will still be a river even if you don't understand the intellectual concept of how it works, or if you can't see it, or if you can't hear it, and so on. You can call it by whatever terms you wish. You're still reflecting metaphysical facts that exist independent of you as a person. Or of anybody else as people. Reality is what it is.

"The true lover of knowledge is always striving after 'Being'. That is his nature, He will not rest at those multitudinous particular phenomena whose existence is in appearance only, but will go on-the keen edge will not be blunted, nor the force of his passion abate until he have attained the knowledge of the true nature of all essence by a sympathetic and kindred power in the soul." - Plato

But, still, even this philosophy that I'm agreeing with is nowhere near easy to discuss, to defend, or examine critically, or to even understand in the first place, sadly.

>that feel when it's time for philosophy

As Marcus Aurelius, who was a Stoic, basically said, whether it's by random chance or divine purpose that we are here, we should be thankful to have reason to guide us, as that is all that is necessary.

>>1193852
Of course not. But if I were, I would know exactly how to do it -- minus the charisma ...and the lack of moral and ethical consideration needed in order to comfortably isolate and exploit my members ...so, I probably wouldn't do a very good job even if I were. I am flattered you think I would be able to do, though.

Now, if I were to make a pony religion, however, I might start with some basic answers such as...

1. pony watching, pony cons, pony raves, canon pony episodes, pony plushies
2. celestia, luna, mane 6, a few other ponies
3. social media, pony video games, pony cons
4. (need to work on this one)
5. the problem is not being friends with everypony
6. why is there disharmony even though we have a princess of friendship? (need to work on this one -- maybe something to do with the tree of harmony and/or everfree forest?)
7. by making some friends
8. to become an alicorn pony princess

The "California Sound" Is Silenced PseudoFox 06/12/25 (Thu) 21:46:47 No.1193364 [Reply]

R.I.P. Brian Wilson, 1942 - 2025

This hits a lot different than what one can generally just call 'sad things in the news'.

For not just me personally but literally millions upon millions of people who've lived their lives partially or entirely in California, well, the notion of the 'Beach Boys lifestyle' and the 'California sound' is something elemental and almost spiritual.

Bruce Springsteen and his own band put it well in a statement that said, “Wilson was the most musically inventive voice in all of pop, with an otherworldly ear for harmony... [as] the visionary leader of America’s greatest band".

( Source of that is at: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/bruce-springsteen-brian-wilson-tribute-1235363266/ )

What do you think, /pony? Have you any sense of being interested in the 'California sound' before, yourself?

That's true, but the song is also an instance of the good rule of "sometimes music critics are really angrily mean and get stupid", which applies a lot to Brian Wilson himself in his solo career and other stuff he's done, I think we agree

“Fish tank”

Caged behind walls I cannot see, The water is filling my lungs, Like poison it’s burning within me,

Drowning under what has been done, I feel unsure what I’m supposed to be,
Been stuck in place for way too long,
I am a believer in destiny,
But I could still be wrong,

And when I lost you my heart sank, I just can’t stay here forever, Being your pet in this fish tank,
Because I felt we’d drown together, But in my back you stuck your shank,
And the unity had to sever,
The blood I bled could’ve filled a bank, Now when I think of here I just suffer, I need to go where my memory is blank, My happiness felt here is present never
