'zactly. Thanks for the happy thought, Buddha!

When that was first translated, it was misinterpreted as a philosophical gem coming from the ancient master. Actually, the dude was just complaining when his clock broke.

It is. The true Self is behind the "self", which is just how we process and respond. True Self gets easier for me to get a hint of when I'm able to clear the noise from my mind.

Very good thought.

Can't find a buddha/meditation smiley.

The true self is what comes out when a person is left alone to decide on what to do, think or feel. The imposter self is what shows up when we have to decide what to do, think or feel when we are in the presence of others.

Like for example, if you are walking along by yourself and you see a smoking hot babe you might think to yourself "I'd really like to bang that smoking hot babe." all the while leering at her. If however you are married and are walking along with your wife, you're more apt to act like you don't notice the smoking hot babe and if asked what you thought of her you would likely say "What smoking hot babe? What you mean that girl over there? She ain't all that, I hardly even noticed her."

How come it is that with the various religions (take your pick) we as a species essentially believe what some one says is so and we just take his/her word for it but in just about everything else we demand proof?

I'm not sure if it is because of that or more because humans are scared of the unkown. some are willing to embrace something based on faith in an attempt to make peace with death as it brings them something to look forward to rather than fear. some are willing to reject the fear of what happens after death by saying that there is nothing to fear.

and furthermore, what does it matter to anyone else how one decides to deal with this fear and find comfort in something? why? because if there is a disagreement about what happens after death, then maybe you were wrong and there is still something to fear!

I can just imagine aliens saying looking at a distance from the Earth until it becomes a tiny dot: "Let's watch them fight over who's the real god LOL".

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Smart people throughout human history have demanded proof of the things we're supposed to believe on faith.

You don't have to be a genius to be wise.

Yeah but I'm not talking about the tiny percentage of "out of the box" thinkers. My point is that the vast majority that believe in one religion or another and therefore one god or another, do so all based on someone convincing them at some point a particular religion, typically their own, is the one right religion. We like to say we believe on faith but is that accurate? Isn't it more correct that we believe on trust. That we trusted that the person or persons telling us what to believe, is right?

obviously it's the axiom behaviour to the entrainment, to challenge anything that could mess with it. rightness is awesome. and scientific!

No offense to legit sufferers,

but in my recent personal experience,

Aspergers has become code for "I can't get laid".

Maybe in some areas.

I think in Silicon Valley, Asperger symptoms are fairly common, and are part of 'geek culture.'

Thanks to organizations like WISE, we now have lots of women geeks, and a potential for Aspergerettes. (though I have found that women techies tend to be more socially well-adjusted than male techies.)

So if there were an Asperger's dating website (focussing on hetero matchups, so we could have little Asperger tykes running around), what would the domain name be ?


There's a pro surfer in Hawaii named Clay Marzo. He has Asperger's. He looks like he doesn't really enjoy interviews, but he does interviews probably because his sponsors ask him to.


Also I think that people with Aspergers are not always suffering. As long as it doesn't get in the way of their employment.

Bill Gates being one example.
