What a pleasant coincidence, I have been planning on going to a Vipassana 10-day retreat later this month.
I also happen to have gone to Game Closure's Thursday night parties a few times. They are nice people.
I also am a fan of gwern. I also just started a Kickstarter (since I am homeless) for my game and website which are very closely related to this topic. What a nice group of coincidences. Personally I believe it is because we are all part of a hive, and that we are also in a divine simulation of sorts, but that is all besides the point. I'll plug my Kickstarter in a new topic later this week when I make a nicer video.
Anyway, I believe all religions are correct (including Scientology) and that they function as abstract subconscious metaphors. Is Buddhism not a religion?
- h1karu 12y agoI would argue that Zen buddhism is not a religion, and vipassana/samatha meditation practice isn't in any way religious, as in there's nothing you're being asked to believe outside of what you can absolutely confirm for yourself in your moment to moment experience.
- bobsgame 12y agoMy personal interpretation of religion fits that description for the most part, but I think that is different from most.
