A question to an honest (= Materialist) Atheist

Well, okay it does seem a bit like some people are a pretzel, all coiled on themselves and so making infinite journeys witin themselves, we see this a lot on bulletin boards where 2D screen space kind of acts as a salve to the mulitidimensionally hypercoiled.

I do not know where you get these conclusions from. Let me try to clarify some things for you:

Sentiments: they are related with brain activity. Whenever you have a sentiment, brain scanners and MRI detect the effects. You have agreed at least on that before.

Numbers: concepts that have been developed by human intellect. Very useful tools for understanding the world that surrounds us.

I can add also imagination: an activity also related to human brain functionality.

The sentiments are related with how our brain interacts with the surrounding environment. The numbers are a tool, produced by human brain, that allow us to understand better the cosmos. Imagination is another functionality of the brain which permits to ā€œseeā€ things that are not necessarily tangible.

Conclusion: all of these are related with brain functionality. Given that the brain is physical, the question is if its products remain physical or not.

You, as religious person, want to connect these with metaphysical explanations.

I, as materialist, consider all of these natural processes, arising from my brain, which is made out of matter.

As l said before: these are downstream manifestations of what happens beyond the material plane. Google AI sums it up nicely (though l probably summed it up nicely too? I hope):

Note: While scientists can map these patterns, it is not currently like reading a video of someone’s inner life, but rather detecting objective, localized neural signatures of emotions. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Thank you, considering that what you’ve said about the One Mind, has been challenged all this time, and you had zero answer to that, we’ve observed a perfect example of ā€œcrawling awayā€.

Yes ā€œgreenfuseā€ is literally exactly like ā€œthat teacherā€ when ā€œstudentsā€ question and challenge them on their beliefs, but they just cannot back up and substantiate their claim/s.

Imagine if I asked this one to define what it means by ā€˜love’ exactly?

And, how do you know, for sure, that I have not what you call, ā€œfound my loveā€ with all people, in all ages, already?

Again, what are you basing your current belief on, exactly?

Watch, no actual answers and so no clarification will be provided to these questions, once again.

Oh, Ken. I did back it up. Age’s assertions are narcissistic and easy to quote. How could Age, Ken, not understand what happens when Age tells Mr. Cat he is in a cult. And yet he grabs for allies.

Over 8 years ago, Ken, Age had already said many, many times that people had proven his claims about humans at this time. Thousands of posts later he is still proving this which has already been proven. Age is like a parasitic meme and he is not helping you, the empty admiration of future generations a mere fantasy.

How common is this theme, you having ā€˜unpleasant interactions’ with others?

Maybe you have ā€œpleasant interactionsā€ with others when you talk ā€˜about others’ with someone, but how often are your interactions ā€œpleasantā€ when you disagree with what another is saying?

Do you think it is not obvious when you are putting out insults?

Of course, this never means that your insults result in actually being insulting to ā€˜the other’, but that you toss them out is pretty obvious.

Again, projection, along with, as I pointed out above, when ā€œgreenfuse’sā€ beliefs do not agree with others’ views or beliefs, then it becomes a so-called ā€œunpleasant interactionā€, of which it will be ā€œthe otherā€ who is the so-called ā€œnarcissistā€

LOL ā€œgreenfuseā€, still, even after all of this time, got to the actual Truth, and so spreads its own Wrong assumptions and False beliefs as though they are laughably what is true and right.

Again, I will suggest you obtain actual clarity before you start sharing your current beliefs and presumptions, that way you can tell the Truth, instead of spreading Falsehoods and lies.

Once more, if you had only obtained clarification first, you might not keep spreading things that are clearly untrue.

You obviously do not yet know the answer to, ā€˜Who am ā€˜I’?’ so you are still unaware of what is happening and occuring here.

People can and are used all the time while being completely unaware.

As for the rest of those quotes, ā€œgreenfuseā€ just believes, absolutely, that they are false and wrong, which is what led to it never seeking out clarification, and why it keeps jumping to False and Wrong conclusions. Which it then also believes to be absolutely true.

What ā€œgreenfuseā€ is doing here is a prime example of APE-thinking. Which, again, ā€œgreenfuseā€ is proving, without a shadow of a doubt, what I have said about APE-thinking itself.

As I have said before, if you know, you know. And, if you don’t, you don’t.

And, what is happening and occuring here, is written proof of what more or less happened and occured when just one individual you knew that the earth revolved around the sun, they knew. Although when everyone else didn’t, they didn’t.

Instead of those people being open and honest and just curious, what those who ā€˜didn’t know’ did, was try and insult, ridicule, discredit, and shut ā€˜the one’ who knew off from speaking and being heard.

LOL, LOL, LOL

So, instead of just having a discussion, on that issue, you laughably recommended a discussion of that issue.

LOL I was discussing ā€˜that topic’. But, as can be clearly seen, you believed and presumed some things, which you just could not shake nor let go. LOL you certainly could not back up and support your beliefs and presumptions.

You just wanted to be ā€œrightā€, instead of seek out what the actual Truth was there.

This one believes, so much, that ā€œI am a narcissistā€, and that it is only when another starts telling it ā€˜about me’ not being a narcissist is when it will start listen to ā€œargumentsā€.

LOL it will not look at and listen to proof and facts, it will only look at or listen to ā€œargumentsā€ of all things.

Ken, if you can still hear for yourself in there, ask yourself if this really sounds like someone confident in their knowledge? Is this how they would act? When this voice first came, I am sure it came with some truths, but after all this time, what life has it brought you? I know you mentioned abuse, long ago, as Ken. It was in general this reference. But perhaps this included you. Is all Age’s defensiveness getting you where you would like to be?

Being ā€˜related’ does not mean that it ā€˜is’.

So, what is sentiment exactly that you are implying here?

Maybe so. But, numbers were certainly not needed in understanding exactly what the Universe is made up of nor of how the Universe works exactly.

And, how the brain, and also the Mind for that matter, work exactly, and how they interact with human brains surrounding environment is related to sentiments is also already known.

Now, would you like to clarify what it is exactly that you are trying to imply with this sentence and claim of yours here?

you made this same claim just above, but claiming it again does not make it more real.

Yes, numbers were a tool to help some better understand the cosmos or the Universe if you like.

But, again, they were certainly not needed to fully understand the cosmos nor the Universe, if you prefer

The exact opposite could be the actual irrefutable Truth. But, considering you appear to believe otherwise, I will leave you with your belief.

Basing ā€˜a conclusion’ on nothing other than one’s own made-up assumptions or beliefs, is really not wise.

What is more wise is obtaining actual irrefutable facts and proof first, and then make conclusions. That way the conclusion could never ever be False nor Wrong.

This is something we may never ever know. You people will, obviously, have to spend far more time on coming-to-agreement on definitions, before you even get close to answering this question.

Again,

  1. To be a so-called ā€œmaterialistā€ is impossible.
  2. you are both ā€˜religious people’.
  3. you speak as though ā€œmetaphysical explanationsā€ are an absolute impossibility.
  4. There is obviously not a single thing in the whole Universe, including the whole Universe, Itself, which are not natural processes.
  5. A brain being obviously made up of matter does not instantly infer nor mean that natural processes, arising from the brain, nor ā€˜that’, which is produced by the brain, is made of matter.
  6. Also, a person who religiously believes that absolutely everything is material, and thus has a ā€œmaterialistā€ belief is certainly not open to looking at and seeing what is actually True and Right in Life. Does like every other ā€˜religious person’, while they have (religious) beliefs also does not have this capability. As I keep pointing out, and showing and proving above, by people’s words and claims here.

Are you betting that there was a time when Age/Ken wasn’t naturally ā€œevilā€?

LOL They still cannot see that just because they believe something is true, that ā€˜that’ in and of itself is NOT a challenge.

LOL you instantly dismissing absolutely every thing I say and write regarding the One and only Mind is NOT challenging at all.

Prove the One Mind (and your version of it) and I won’t dismiss what you write, I’ll accept it. Oh you can’t do that. Then don’t complain :slight_smile:

I think narcissism is an attempt to protect the self. (or you could call Age a parasitic batch of memes that took over Ken). But it never allows that person to actually deal with what they’ve experienced. They never have a genuine relationships. The can never get what they really want. And they have to keep putting people down. The defensiveness never ends. Etc.

But this is a charitable read. And likely it is way too late to matter. But I’ll address Ken for a bit. Ken will likely never respond. Never admit that yes, under the LOLs and superiority and messianistic claims, narcissistic wounds and rage get triggered with some regularity.

That’s the garden variety narcissism imo, not the NPD. NPD (Trump for example) starts in early childhood and those creatures never develop a conscience so there is no one there to save because there never was anyone there. It’s one of the toughest lectures in life, it means we are in hell right now.

LOL you seem to speak of one thing only when you use the ā€˜it’ word.

Also, let us not forget how many times when you use words like ā€˜it’ or ā€˜that’ you are not necessarily even being close to being specific. For example, I was pointing to an uncountable number of claims, yet ā€œgreenfuseā€ replies with, ā€œOh, Ken, I did back ā€˜it’ upā€.

I wonder if ā€œgreenfuseā€ thinks or believes that absolutely anyone in the whole Universe, besides itself, knows what the ā€˜it’ word here was in reference to exactly.

Being easy to quote assertions has no bearing nor necessary any relation to being ā€œnarcissisticā€ at all.

LOL Once again, this one is assuming and/or believing that I do not understand some supposed ā€œhappeningā€, jumps to the conclusion that I do not, and then asks some Truly absurd question about not understanding ā€œsome happeningā€, which it only alludes to, but never specifies at all.

Who is, supposedly, grabbing for allies?

Again, you, NOT me, are proving my claims True.

Which means just about every time you talk and write here, you are continually proving my claims.

Can you really not yet see that even though you had already proved my claims True previously, with and by your own written words, that when you keep writing and replying to me, you can still be proving my words and claims True?

Are you talking to anyone in particular here, or just generally and to lots of people?

Also, again thank you for sharing what you believe to be absolute or partly true.

Spreading your beliefs here are, again, backing up, supporting, and proving my claims to be absolutely True, Right, Accurate, and/or Correct.

I’m aware of this type. I’ve had some run-ins. I don’t assume there’s a hurt Ken in there.

Ken, the defensive superiority loop is still running. Ken if you ever want to step out of this pattern and have a real conversation, let me know. You’re the one whose already typed well over 30,000 posts for this entity. You could perhaps ask him if there will ever be an end. Or if you will have to type more LOL based posts for another 8 years, never quite getting enough proof to feel it is finished. You could then perhaps do something fulfilling, try to make a friend you consider an equal, get a life as they say. It would likely bring up fear, sure. But this endless loop, always having to show that you really were infallible after all, always finding ways to give the other people the onus to prove something. Always having to have this mask of ā€˜Oh, I am so confident, nothing touches me, I never get angry.’ I don’t think the loop can stop itself, Ken.

LOL, It comes from absolutely Knowing.

Also, if you can still hear ā€œgreenfuseā€, If you know, you know. But, if you don’t, you don’t.

Imagine what ā€˜the one’ who was informing everyone else that the actual irrefutable fact and Truth is - the earth revolves around the sun - was also doing, within, when everyone else was saying and doing what they were doing.

If you did start imagining, what were some of the things that ā€˜that one’ could have, also, been doing.

See, once you know, and others do not, one of the things those who know do, is LISTEN to what others are actually saying, and then respond.

What is ā€˜this voice’ which you speak of, and maybe hear, exactly?

How can ā€˜you’ be ā€˜sure’ that ā€˜it’ came with some truths? What are you basing this sureness of yours on exactly?

I do not understand your question, ā€œWhat life has it brought you?ā€

Maybe if you provide some examles of, What life has ā€˜this voice’ brought you, precisely, then I will be better able to answer ā€œyour questionā€ here.

Will you do this, or do you prefer not to?

Okay.

Perhaps it was, perhaps it was not.

Perhaps it was in reference to your clearly abusive upbringing. But, then again, perhaps it was not as well.

I could not be any better situated than where I am right now.

I also could not be any more content, happier, and satisfied where I am right now. I am perfectly positioned right HERE, right NOW. And, thank you for asking.

By the way, what is this ā€œdefensivenessā€ that you are presuming and believing here exactly.

you speak of it as though it actually exists and thus is an actual truth, so surely you can provide some examples, which us readers can then take a look at, right?

Always protecting itself with non-assertions, Ken, that you have to type. Always doing things it is critical of others for doing and so having yet another thing to deny. It’s a lot of work Ken.

It comes from absolutely Knowing.

When not in dialogue with others Ken, when not communicating online where there is no body language, no tones of voice, not pauses or stutters, does it actually feel confident to be Ken now? Yes, yes, Age can assert anything about you, how great it is and he has this absolute knowing. But when you are with actual humans, if this happens, in their physical presence, how does it actually feel?

What Age can assert online as words on a screen, we both know that means very little.
