Just as there are universal truths regarding the laws of nature and not to be redundant, but the universe, there are also universal truths about the human condition.
Our brains our wired to benefit from interaction with other people.
Our bodies heal faster around human contact.
Man is not a solitary creature. Solitude can help reflection, but is not a necessary ingredient all the time.
Nothing matters, but truth exists.
Nothing’s really something because nothing ever changes
It just takes a little while to realize what same is
But it’s all the same to me
So true. I have nothing to add to this post. It’s author must be perfection personified.
Agree absolutely.
Who is this guy?
People, the opiate of the masses.
Not really.
Humans have the capacity to thrive without social intercourse.
That is what makes them different than the rest of the animals.
Abstract thought, need not, group therapy.
I am just saying it is helpful, beneficial. “Social intercourse” makes such things as learning language, testing ideas, easier.
Group therapy? Even as a joke that is really bringing down the level of discourse. It’s like throwing liberal or NYT out there whenever you want to immediately discredit an opinion.
When you’ve seen beyond yourself you may find peace of mind is waiting there. And the time will come when you see we’re all one.
Gotta have the last word don’t you Hazel.
See, this isn’t about judging anyone’s opinion. Its about ideas and truths. We can’t recognize truth without point of view, granted, however the concept of humanness requiring group interaction amounts to group therapy.
This simply is not so. This is not a universal truth. For humans. For animals, probably. We humans are not only animals. Separating and recognizing the two are what makes us not animals. Hey, they won’t be looking for, not…us.
The animal part sells beer. Occupies Iraq, invades Grenada, bombs Israel and Lebanon. The human part sees beyond the animal part.
George Harrison’s greatest tune. Yeah.
So. . . see beyond yourself and quit taking everything so personally.
We are all velvet, harsh velvet.
I quote myself. Harsh Velvet. 1979 Off Every Day.
It’s not about having the last word, it’s about having a dialogue. I’m saying human interaction stimulates the brain, there are scientific studies to prove this. I use words like helpful, beneficial, never required. I say what I mean, I mean what I say.
Of course it’s about judging opinions. We look for truth and merit in what we hear and read. Nothing personal about judging what someone else says. It’s natural. There are lots of breeds of animals that go it alone, man. I don’t know where you get this stuff.
And bombing, genocide, profit-seeking, those are not animalistic traits. They are humanized, warped interpretations of animalistic traits.
I enjoy discussing these things, arguing, whatever. I always have the hope that I’ll learn something from it, or give someone else a glimpse of the amazing enlightenment I have achieved. If you aren’t digging it, don’t feel obliged to reply. I’m a solitary creature, I can go it alone as well. Didn’t you know that about humans?
It depends on who you’re having intercourse with. And please, use protection.
Humans can go it alone? I had no idea.
Well, Hazel Devin man,
“Group therapy? Even as a joke that is really bringing down the level of discourse. It’s like throwing liberal or NYT out there whenever you want to immediately discredit an opinion”
sure is a criticism of me. I don’t really have a problem with that but if you really want meaningful exchange (Bobby’s dad, Twin Peaks) then you should leave out the criticisms.
Oxygen stimulates the brain too. So?
I have a fundamental divergence of perception of reality when you make statements like:
“Our brains our wired to benefit from interaction with other people. Our bodies heal faster around human contact. Man is not a solitary creature.”
I mean, man, that is standard NYT jargon.
