> (A Weird Dialectic) We live to hurt each other. Some examples: our favorite memories come from childhood, when we could incessantly demand attention from our parents, at their expense, without reprimand; we seek life partners and friends who will play our kinds of emotional battles; we wish for our communications to effect other people, generally causing some initially negative emotional shift.
We seek stories with emotional conflict, enjoying the processing of somebody else's pain. Healthy sexual intercourse is a mutually consensual form of sharing pain, and finding pleasure in it.
> (The False Dichotomy Of Real Vs Imaginary) Following suit with your later writing on Lies and Truths, every message is itself a portion of reality. People live for communication, and messages such as "Kris Kringle" and other fairy tales have become essential to our reality.
>(Thinking And Existing) I am calling into question the semantic value of existence. In common speech, we say something exists when it has been formed. In this message, the implied meaning of existence is that something could be formed. We are crossing the border to the land of invention.
> (The Myth of Irrational Feeling) Feelings are a function of physical stress. Stress is a function of rationalization about our place in the world, and the perceived availiability of basic needs.
Lies and Truths are labels, applicable to messages. Messages are real, the same as any null pointer is itself occupying a valid memory address. Whether the contents of the message are a description of reality decides if the message is a Truth or a Lie.
We seek stories with emotional conflict, enjoying the processing of somebody else's pain. Healthy sexual intercourse is a mutually consensual form of sharing pain, and finding pleasure in it.
Life is the processing of pain. We love it!
