Interesting (alternative) life philosophies?

I am actually basing the system by which "magic" is ruled in my comic on that second point. Courtesy of having stoner friends.

Two more:

1) A perception of reality and spirituality dependent entirely and exclusively on one's interpretations of Tool song lyrics.

2) The belief that what we experience when under the influence of hallucinogens, or transcendent meditation, or other such altered states of consciousness, is in fact the true reality of existence; everything else being false or illusory.

1) You need to broaden your intake of data.

2) The world is not false or illusory. It exists. It exists the same as any other thoughts and input of data exist inside my mind. Hallucinogenic drugs open up some of the other states of perception that exist by allowing you to visualize chaos mathematics and the data centers in the brain that send signals back to the couscous mind to interpret.
 
When it comes to religion, it's always a sorry mix of tragedy and irony when people torture and murder in the name of the God of kindness and mercy, shun and hate in the name of the God of love and acceptance, and lie and cheat in the name of the God of justice and virtue. Truth be told, on the dark side of religion's moon, the worst possible aspects of human nature can apparently be justified so long as the will of God is concerned, it seems. You only need to tune in to the news to see how easy it is to take advantage of this, and make other people's lives as absolutely miserable as you own. Of course, religion certainly has a good and admirable side to it, but it's more often than always in the shadow of the other side.

I belive that religion is an old form of "science"; Why is it raining? Bcause we haven't killed a goat...

School taught me about the illusion of Democracy and I didn't even realize until much later:
When I was a kid we had those dummy elections for student representative. There was this idiot, school bully, son of a rich guy, he was running for it, put up a poster with absolutely terrible orthography, he confused "J" for "G" on the whole sentence, I pointed it out, he threatened to beat me up and then he won anyway. :lol: Miniature Politics.
 
heh, funny that you mention that. A friend of mine had this game in school where they got groups that would represent nations, like USA, Arabia etc. a pretty big game with a lot of groups inside the classes and other classes playing against each other, I guess to teach pupils something about politics, inside the game each nation had resources which could be used for trading, making deals with others and such, and over time the nations would form alliances and kinda grow, changing their politics, systems and all that. I guess they tried a bit to simulate our current situation, at least in its basics. Now this is where the fun part starts. My friend and his group had an islamic state. Yes religion was a part of the game. His nation was kinda poor. But it had a lot of resources. He made deals with as many nations as he could giving them resources, all he asked in return was to allow the islam inside their states. Sounds great! I get tons of resources for nothing, thats what everone thought. At some point the group of my friend declared Jihad and literaly took over the world overthrowing all governments, like I said a relatively simple game, but still, I guess this wasnt really expected, but hey, its not their fault that they found a loop, no?

Allahu akbar!

Democracy is not an illusion.

It is a choice.
 
Living the totality of the present is the venture reserved only for the brave. Your sacrificial crown awaits in oblivion staring back at you.
 
Depends how many oblivion-s you talk to.

Alot of people stare into this one.

Oooh, we had those too. Sorta. Because in our case it was a class president-like thing (nicknamed sołtys) and a person with a bunch of responsibilities and nothing in return (basically if he does well, nothing happens, if he fucks up, he gets chewed out). It was technically an election, but really it was more of a stubbornness contest of 'how many times can you refuse'. The first one to crack and accept became the president.

a shitty choice. But the best one we can make right now.

Though, to be more sersious, I guess we have a lot of luck to be here compared to the past or many other nations, but when I think about it, the situation today is just an extension of slavery or feudalism, with the ruling elite, and us plebs, beeing silenced by TV shows, mass-media, shiny products and shitty jobs with shitty payment. It has a reason when many people complain today that popular politicans are disconected from their population and that it seems like none of your decision really make a different, can't talk for the US, but does it make a real difference in the end if you vote either the Republicans or the Democrats? I know for Germany many of the big parties are so similar right now, you could make a blind vote, what changes is the colour, but improvements? That is a whole different story. Quite funny when you spend your time watching political satire and cabaret for example, people that do this kind of comedy for the last 30 years. And its true. Hardly anything really changes ... the dangerous part is when those with a low brain capacity then turn to the extremes, like crazy christian parties and fascists or something like that.

I really like this quote: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
Although I don't know who said it.
 
Damn Colombians, they ruined Colombia.

What is the system they have in the UK? Is it also called democracy? Because that one seems to not be complete shit like the system we have here.
 
Wikipedia might help you, Seriously, you are even more lazy then I am, and that should tell you something.

It is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance

Churchill, I think, or at least I remember that a quote similar to that is often credited to him.
