Please change your resources to Coal and Silver.
If you don't do that in 24 hours I will have to look for your replacement. But I don't want to do that, so please change your resources NOW.
And read your CN Inbox, ok?
-
done. idk why I hadn't checked CN in 4 days.

llamavore, I'm suspecting you aren't human again.
Are you sure you aren't a bear? Because you are my favorite bear on the Internet if you are a bear.

If Flask saw this, he would die a little.

given the ultimate relativity of species classification, no, I am not sure I am not a bear.

Yeah I kinda did reuse a gimmick here

It's posts like these that make me think you are a woodsman with revenge and philosophy on the mind.
-
You need to be careful who you go around calling a philosophical revenge woodsman slash secret internet bear, because one of these days you might be right, and then what's going to happen? Some unfortunate incident involving a well-aimed wood cutting device, no doubt. People live in the woods for a reason. Trees don't care about your past and they know how to mind their own business.

Depends on the tree. Some never shut their fucking mouths, and don't have much to justify keeping their fucking mouths open all fucking day. They just talk shit, and they don't get that NO ONE IS LISTENING - it is a goddamned forest! No one goes to a forest to get a tree's opinion - they go there for a little silence, and an opportunity for some one on one time with the voices no one else hears.
-
:nothing:
look, it's obvious you don't know what me and kenny are talking about, so why don't you do us all a big favor and keep posting.
-
Another fucking tree that won't shut up. lol

Give him a break llama, sluggy's just being introspective.

Gangs, I suspect you are one of the voices in my head. How can you prove that you actually exist?

I don't know! How can anyone?
Perhaps all we are, is an elaborate dream conjured up by the rampant desperation that permeates every waking moment of leos life. Perhaps we never really did eiffel tower your mom. Though the mystery of why leo would fantasize about that is disconcerting.

when trying to prove your own existence a few things must be qualified.
1) what counts as existence? does thinking prove existence? what if we are all a hive-mind in someones dream, does that still count as existence? what if we are all just a bunch of computer code playing in some 2 year olds "sims 9001" videagame, would you still exist?
2) how would you know if you are any of these things? would you be able to tell if you are a hive-mind? do robots think they think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnyi-5S16Xk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnyi-5S16Xk) this rat is being controlled and told which way to turn etc, but the scientists claim the rat thinks it decides where to go. (they make it feel good by releasing endorphins when it looks left or right depending on which way they want it to go)
3) does it even matter if we exist? clearly i am here and you are part of my reality (or me to yours depending how it all plays out) does it matter if we are all just a figment of someones overactive imagination?
4) why did you take the time to read all of that?
-
My mind...
It is blown...

Solipism is idiotic. So is brain-in-a-jar theory crackpots. :(

1) Yes. I firmly subscribe to 'I think therefore I am'. If you can't think, you can't even think of your existence, and are therefore off the chart. Since I think with my heads, I plan to have both of them flash-frozen when I die, and installed onto a clone of myself when the technology is perfected. Though this will only result in a few more years of lucid thought, I will have no doubt that I have continued my existence, such as it was, and will be. Well, I could be wrong, but I'll be sure to tell your descendants if it works. If I were just computer code and could think of myself in these terms, then I would exist. I am still not sure you exist though.
2) It takes a village to raise a child. Left alone from birth, a child would mature into little more than an animal. We are prodded, goaded, encouraged, and threatened all our lives to fulfil a need in society. The very notion of good and evil are based almost entirely on doing for others vs doing for oneself. So, for the most part, the only freedom of choice we can execute is to ignore expectations and do what we want (ie the only way to prove that you are exercising that freedom is to demonstrate selfishness). That is not to say that if you do good you are a sheep - we have all have struggled many times with possible courses of action, and done the right thing in the end, but to the outsider, you can't prove that you are doing anything other than allowing principles and morals, programmed by others as decisions in advance, to do the thinking for you.
3) No it doesn't really. Sorry I don't have time to finish reading your post so I will end here..
