This or That

I'm feeling good, and determinalistic. Isn't that strange.

Our human experience is based entirely on our cultural and social experience up until the current moment. We can never escape that we are going to be something no matter what, and that that something is going to be entirely dependent on where, when, and how we experience our lives. So have fun with what is happening in your culture, whether it's artificial or not; because being a more 'enlightened' person than others is entirely part of your experience and was helped along by that culture you grew up in, and that culture is subconsciously more of you that your consious philosopher. Indulging in it somewhat may feel better than we give it credit for. We all live in unique times in unique mindsets and are presented with unique experiences that have never before been experienced through a human mind; is it not perhaps counterintuitive to turn down these experiences if they are presented? Possibly, but then if you are conscious of other alternatives that you deem a better use of your time it may be just as human, no? Either way, you are going to experience something and either way you are going to become something and think something and do something. I will call this Rational Determinalism, because no one has ever thought of it before. NOT. I just haven't researched it, it sounds pretty legitimate to me. Someone look it up if they have time I'm too tired.

Quite the change from the "Go Kill Yourself" theme of the last post.

"Indulging in it somewhat may feel better than we give it credit for." It's self -evident that it "feels better", the question is whether it is right or not. Ex. I'm sure smoking crack feels great...

I get in my moods we know this it's nothing new.

I wasn't saying indulging in just anything feels good, it must by virtue of the word indulge, what I was saying was roughly this:

I'm saying that I myself under rate indulging in things that my mind identifies with easily because it is what I grew up around. We are products of language and culture and depending on how and where and when we are raised our minds function correspondingly with what we experienced and these experiences shape the pathways of though which our minds are to follow for the remainder of our lives. So when I sing along to brand new whining about girls and play along like I care a certain part of my mind reckognizes the long island attitude and mindset and it gives me a nostalgic and good feeling. Not like smoking crack, which is not at all pertaining to the linguistic or cultural upbringing of anyone or the way in which their minds work; crack will only destroy the mind, not shape different thought paths - as far as I've ever heard.
