    Who Invented Cool ?

    Reason. "Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends." ~ William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream Actually, prior to this, Geoffrey Chaucer, 1340-1400 CE, (per the English Oxford Dictionary) used the term to...

    Why do these things exist ?

    These exist due to primary cause. Cars exist because of humans, humans exist because of procreation, and death exists because of life. These, too, shall pass. Everything that exists in phenomenal reality is temporary.

    atheism and fear of death

    So you're aware that there is not a thing to remember. Awareness didn't stop. No. In that state, one experiences absence. One is still aware one is experiencing nothing. One's awareness doesn't stop experiencing. It is experiencing and absence of time, space, and causation. In a manner of...

    small talk is boring

    I rarely talk about the weather unless there is some unusual or exciting phenomenon occurring. I often engage with perfect strangers or acquaintances with random off-the-wall observations I find amusing or fascinating.

    small talk is boring

    Which people? I haven't met them. Most people are either apathetic to religion or don't want to hear anything outside their tightly held beliefs. The other day, a neighbor walked up to me with her phone, clearly excited about a video she saw and wanted to share. She opened with, "I don't...

    Is there knowledge without a knower?

    I can see where you arrive at that conclusion based on what I said. That's primarily because you took one sentence from what I said out of context. Please allow me to clarify. Experience does not exist in the absence of an experiencer. There is nothing that contains experiences in the...
