Are we just jerking off here?
    #7752616 - 12/13/07 05:37 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

P & S was attacked on another forum, but for all the wrong reasons.

Are we just a social and entertainment sub-community spinning our wheels in pursuit of some ephemeral truth that may or may not exist?

It seems so, which is why I (and others) am guilty of thread-derailing one-liners; because the maze leads nowhere.

Love, stilling the mind and action are the answers. Riddle solved.

Now we can party instead of driving ourselves to madness with a pointless search. Get nekked and pass the joint...

So is this a friendly mind boggling circle jerk or what?

personally, i like to think, just think in general. but a lot of these things discussed here are things i tend to think about. even if no answers ever develop (or are proven), then i've enjoyed my time seeing something from another's perspective.

I once read a philosophy book by Paul (i dont remember his last name).  I was wide awake when i started reading, but after 10 pages of incomprehensible subject, i had to doze off. :frown:

This quote may be of some help:

"The true value of a man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth. It is not possession of the Truth, but rather the pursuit of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectibility is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent, and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand."

--Gotthold Lessing, Anti-Goeze

:strokebeard:

If I'm honest with myself about it I mostly come online to gratify myself in some way. The internet is a good place to jerk off in various ways.  Like others, I'm looking for validation of my own opinions a lot of the time.  But, in the midst of jerking off I meet a lot of great people and I sometimes even change my viewpoint on some subjects. I bet it's similar for a lot of people.

Other times I just read posts and do my best to refrain from trying to express my own point of view at all.  It's hard, and when I'm in a bad mood I don't bother with that restraint at all. 

Now that I think about it, I stopped posting in P&S (or S&P as I always knew it)  because I realized I was mostly just beating off... spending hours on a few posts just for the sake of argument.  It used to be my favorite forum but I stopped cold one day when it felt like I was just filling my time.

Perhaps it is just me, but I really don't see anything wrong with answerless questions. I think that the pursuit of knowledge is just as important as the knowledge itself. Asking ourselves these things knowing there isn't any direct answer expands our minds as we open ourselves to other possibilities. I have only been consitently reading P&S for a month or so, but in that month I've a great deal of questions that led me into parts of my mind I haven't taken the time to explore, regardless of whether there was an absolute answer.

I don't think it's neccesarily jerking off, I don't think we're asking these things for self satisfaction. We're asking them so we can grow, because regardless of if you have alot of answers (which many people in P&S do, and it still amazes me) you can always grow.

Let's get the fuck out of here.

:rofl:

that's our M.O.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Its simple, the poster believes he is 'attacked' so I wind him up by saying he's whining.

Gee, you could write a book on that :tongue:
