how is it irrational to say everything is connected?
if you can show me two things that AREN'T connected, you'll have proven him wrong. but you can't, because you just connected the two things you named by putting them into the same sentence.
- Jage 15y agoSure, you can make the argument everything is connected. I don't need to drop acid to realize that argument, nor do I plan on dropping acid because of some mystical, inexplicable revelation it brings on a bunch of space cadets Call it ignorant, I don't really care. I grew up with people that did acid, and their personalities shifted in a remarkably profound way, becoming much more introverted and quiet. Whether this was just growing up and didn't have to do with the acid, I don't know, but I know that as the only one that didn't do it my personality did not shift in that way, nor would I want it to shift in what I think is a negative manner As a side note, and something to think about, are things really connected or is your brain just looking so hard to find patterns it connects things that have absolutely no correlation? I think one of the great philosophical ideas of the last few centuries has been that reality may not exist and we interpret it-- which was generally assumed throughout thought before psychology and existentialism-- but our mind has an inner reality that we transpose onto the existential world. Aristotle was famous for saying everything has a purpose, but does it really? Or are our minds just finding a purpose for everything relative to our existence. Just some random mental masturbation for you guys
