you're lifting quotes from the transcendental aesthetic without attribution and modifying the wording slightly to adapt it to my post and in so doing making it seem like it's contradicting it when the original (and sometimes also your modifications of it) are in perfect agreement with it.

>Time is not an empirical concept that is drawn from the experience of change.
the "change" i'm talking about in that post is not something one can have an experience of, but is a "feature" (or "form" in kantian) of experience itself. change is not something you can touch, see, hear, etc., but is a feature that is always present in experience, the the changing itself of sensations (tactile, visual, auditory, etc). therefore, it's not an empirical concept, since there are no empirical objects from which to abstract it from. the way i "derived" it in the post when i said, "look for time in our perception", wasn't by "drawing it from an experience" - because all experience necessarily has it - but by what kant called "the faculty for intuiting a priori".
the original sentence by kant (A30/B46) in guyer-wood's translation is, "Time is not an empirical concept that is drawn from an experience", which is fully in line with how i treated it.

>Simultaneity or succession, that are the basis for change, would not come into perception if the representation of time did not ground them a priori.
this is the next sentence in the transcendental aesthetic. the only modification you did is adding ", that are the basis for change," to adapt it to my post, which ironically makes it literally equivalent to what i said in it, yet you somehow say it as if it were asserting something new that contradicted what i said. simultaneity is what i enumerated as (1) and succession is what i enumerated as (2), and i said that these two are what time in essence is, and furthermore that they "are fundamental and necessary facts of experience".

>From that a priori intuition we can ground further apodictic principles about the relation of time
but i also said the same thing informally in a passing comment and you're just repeating it to me in kantonese
>and that is in essence what time is (then we can derive further facts about it from those two ifPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>once you die, you die

You know, that would be quite a bummer to be stuck in some "cannot proceed further" state of pain of dying.

that's why "dying horribly" is something really scary - not just because it looks horrible.

>>224915
No, I'm not prepared for it at all, but I hope to be soon

Not that wizard but I think it's really unfortunate how it's become such a hot-button topic. I think it's unfortunate how both sides always make this worse. I find it an extremely interesting topic, probably the most interesting and important topic this is. It's the same with religion as a whole. I've thought about these things a lot and watched a lot of videos (and read a book or two I got recommended to me) but there has just never been something that convinced me that there is "something more". Anything to show we aren't just atoms and a conciousness destined to one day stop existing forever. This isn't because I'm "too smart for religion", "too rational" or anything stupid like that. There are plenty of smarter and more rational (if there even is such a thing) people than me who disagree completely. I am totally open to other perspectives but have never genuinely believed in one other than my own. I could live my life as a monk or priest but I'd never truly believe it to my core.
But it's something that should be discussed more.
Recently been toying around with the idea of uploading conciousness into a computer (obviously just from a philosophical standpoint). If you just clone your brain 1:1 into the computer there will simply be you and someone with your brain from your perspective. Meanwhile if you did the same and wiped you out at the same time it'd just be you dying from your perspective.
But what if you first replaced half your brain with the computer while you remained fully concious, then from your perspective you'd just be yourself but with half-computer brain. So that's still you, right?
But what if they did that simultaneously for both sides of the brain? Which one would your conciousness go into? None? What if you kept the two brain-halves alive but in a sleep-state then put them together and re-activated them, then from your own brain's initial perspective it just went to sleep and woke up like you do every day.
So conciousness and death don't exist but we simultaneously know they do because we're concious and alive in this moment. Are we already dead? Always dying? What is a stream of conciousness if it can be split and what happens if it is?
Who are you?

key phrase:

>once you have it figured out.


sigh… I never did.

It's great - it really brings about a sense of agency.

And then invariably within about a week or so after making longer term plans something comes in to fuck it up.

That said, in the aggregate, the net accomplishment seems to be greater than grab-asstic idleness and opportunism.

I've been trying to brush my teeth everyday recently, that's the closest thing to a routine I have experienced in a long while and it just feels tedious to me.

I maintain my routine such that my tasks coincide with the daily uploads of a certain niche youtuber. It's pretty fun to finish what I'm doing and be rewarded with a 20-30 minute video to chill out to.

>>226421
i often wonder the opposite. Without my habits i am nothing. Like a deer in the headlights i am stunned by not being the one in charge of my routine.i can never bring myself to do something unusual without mentally preparing and declaring it to myself a hundred times before i do it. routine is my life. it is all i have left to control otherwise i really am a total slave

I'm ugly and had undiagnosed autism(diagnosed in hs) for most of my upbringing so I didn't get proper treatment from people around me. My mother also abused me a lot because of it, I blame everything on her.

Can't say exactly. Bit of mental illness and spectrum stuff, I think, but I've never been to a doctor for brain related things.

Part of it is that I was the weird kid. Somehow I started lucid dreaming in kindergarten. This permanently messed up how I think about reality, but back then, it mostly meant that I believed alternate dimensions were real. So I'd think about alternate dimensions a lot and tell people I was visiting them (it was more live vivid daydreams), because I was already convinced I could visit "alternate dimensions" (dreams) and these were just weaker connections to them.

Most ignored me but a few kids kids would smile and nod or ask questions about whatever weird thing I was talking about, only to turn around and laugh with their friends about how weird I was. I usually didn't catch on to this for months or years at a time for each person who tried it. I have a very hard time trusting people now. I'm always listening in to people around me to make sure they're not talking about something I did.

I'm just really glad this was in the 90s. They probably could have pushed me to suicide in the era of social media and everyone having A/V recording devices in their pockets.

Another part of it is I am not someone I would ever want to live with. Mental space is not very good a lot of the time. I can be very mean/hurtful if it's not in a good state, and it hurts me a lot (usually as self-hate) when I hurt someone even a little. It didn't seem right to suggest this person as an option to anyone else.

>objectively "reality" does not exist, but applying logical thought to your observed reality is not wrong either
neither is it wrong to consciously forgo logical thought when you want to

You don't have to ration your food - you eat as much as you… WANT. Feel like. have vibe for. Have appetite about.

I used to have online communities and small forums to keep my a lil company. although even then, i was an all biz, stay on topic guy, not really into the social aspects. but now all those small forums are dying out, and im truly stuck with just my own brain. not even text on a screen not wrote by me or ai

>yeah i feel lonely online these days but it wasn't always like this
in the old days i think everyone had their "perfect self" persona on display online - basically being who they truly are - like a funny goofball, super serious guy, angry guy, pseudo intellectual, weeabu, etc

actually, yes. that was the case

Try getting good sleep before you do anything rash. Chances are you'll feel much better when your brain is adequately rested. Maybe you can go for a walk or something, go to a store to look at books or electronics or whatever is your thing.

That's going to go away with the recent trend of OSA laws, leaving many people without the tools to independently solve their own problems.

>the horrors and miseries i have seen people inflict on each other for the most pointless reasons; makes me wonder where (do we go to/go from here)?
With surveillance there are going to be more people in your personal life without benefiting you and with OSA and shadow-banning, you won't be able to complain either.

The elders had it way better.

Humans are fundamentally fallen. We are a mix of good and bad, and oftentimes the bad predominates. But I would not say that we are evil in a simple sense. Foolish, selfish, and arrogant, perhaps, and prone to dehumanize those who do fit into the arbitrary standards of our societies.
