Is a human authentic dasein (existence, life) possible?

Vielleicht. Manche Gedanken habe ich ja schon erzählt. Die anderen Gedanken werden folgen. :wink:

Deshalb schrieb ich “Fachsprache Freuds”. Der Unterschied zwischen “Es” und “es” ist im Deutschen gegeben, aber im Englischen nicht mehr: “it” und “it”. Um den Unterschied auch im Englischen deutlich machen zu können, hat man einen Unterschied erfunden: “id” und “it”.

Wohl nicht mehr so sehr wie früher - “dank” Internet u.ä…

Vielleicht, ja.

Nobody wants to address my point then?

Too cruelly realistic to be of any use. :-$

Id = The person’s actual impulses (instincts and passions).
Ego = What the person believes he can do, given the constraints of reality (self-confidence, self-image, harmonizing w/ perceived reality).
Superego = What the person believes he should do, given the constraints of society (repression, social-image, harmonizing w/ society).

All societies require a degree of repression via social rules. SAM brings the id, ego, and the superego together so that each can easily comply with the others to the maximum degree possible. What a person desires to do becomes what he can actually accomplish as well as what he socially should do. That is how the IJOT gets maximized because Joy is the inner perception of unimpeded accomplishment.

I also think that the laughing man is more talking about a natural life; instead of an open mindset. Or did I misunderstand?

Of course it is realistic. That’s how I roll.

The fact that nobody likes hearing what I have to say never comes across my mind. Don’t care really.

I am of the modest opinion that if Laughing Moron was thrown into the wild he would have been eaten by a terrifying monster of some terrible sort thus proving his point that living in the wild, at least as far as turds such as himself are concerned, is superior to living in the civilization. One thing however is left unanswered and that is why does he not go down the line of Christopher McCandless? Dude, just pick a gun, and into the fucking wild!

Just stop! You’re hurting my feelings already! You’ve got be me confused with one of my past cyber incarnations buddy when I was flirting philosophically with Anarcho Primitivism. Since then my stances have changed on a variety of philosophical issues.

At any rate, there is no need to go to the wilderness considering the wilderness is going to come to civilization or modern society soon enough when the great disintegration, entropy, and collapse arrives.

As for me, don’t worry about me. I’m sure my odds of survival are going to be ten times more better than yours little fella. Take care now.

So do you want the humans to completely go back to nature then?

Do you not foresee a few survivors of that catastrophe? Grabs the scratchpad and a ballpen

No, not really.
Nein, nicht wirklich.

I sometimes think to myself we were better off in our animalistic form, yes.

I also rather fatalistically think to myself there is simply no going back where a collapse scenario will more than likely wipe us out in a global extinction style event.

A few survivors? Not anymore. A quick glance at thermonuclear reactors around the world along with nuclear weapon stockpiles in the case of global war would pretty much guarantee there wouldn’t be anybody left.

The survive of such a catastrophe is not unlikely for some humans.

Basically total annihilation for everyone.

Why are you so sure (no wishful thinking, please!)?

I am a firm believer in what I like to describe as the inherent doom and self destruction of human beings. Haven’t seen anything contrary to it and now we finally have the means to do it globally.

LM sees the real problem.
He just doesn’t see the only solution.

Yes, I can agree with that statement.

Well, all except that whole solution bit.

I don’t really see any solutions in sight.

China will invent radiation proof giant glow in the dark war condoms.

People fully understand how to treat radioactive materials.
It’s as if it is natural, now.
We’re the only animal with nukes. That means we are better than them.
We, the powerful humans, and power is the only thing that matters, even though it can cause a shit ton of death and unhappinesss.

In order to be more thorough I would say that I see endless problems and no solutions in sight.

Yeah, that’s what I meant to say earlier.

I’m not talking about low level radiation. I’m talking about total exposure of the lethal kind.

Really small nuclear molecules that can go airborn, and spread through the water system too.
Just a guess. I know nothing of nukes. Canada has no nukes.
