: I've been taking a lot of flak from the inconsistency of my thinking and that it seems to run counter to common sense. So, here is how I think: : When I get too involved about something involving logic, I fall back on my mistake theory, reminding myself that thinking about things for the sake of thinking about things is useless. I do NOT apply this uncertainty-thing to everyday life or logic. There just isn't any way to do so, because there isn't a certainty that everything else is uncertain; that's uncertain too. The mistake theory rules over all my thinking, but most of the time I ignore it. : My thoughts on perception and the nonexistence of action are the most basic logical idea I have other than the mistake theory. I think along these lines a lot. : Whenever I need to actually do something in the physical world, I discard logic entirely and use common sense or science, as does everyone else, rationalizing that my mistake theory says that I don't KNOW they aren't logical. : The thing about the purpose of life being happiness is a nice way to feel vaguely superior to other people, and I use it to motivate myself more because if I am having trouble choosing to do something, it's because I don't want to do it. I then just convince myself why I want to do it, and BAM, I am motivated. I use this purpose-of-life thing a lot in meditation too. : My religion includes three tenets: the definition of consciousness as a system of cause and effect, the reason for all actions being a desire for greater happiness, and the idea (previously not mentioned here, I think) that each conscious thing has a "total sensation" that encompasses each sensation the conscious thing is feeling. I meditate with this religion by describing to myself the characteristics of an object, such as the earth or a tree or a rock or whatever. I then try and understand the "total sensation" of that object and feel it myself, forming a bond - a system of cause and effect - between the object and me. I do this with as many things as I have time for, with the goal be to feel everything on earth - the sum sensation that is earth itself. When I accomplish this to a fair degree, I come out of the meditation supercharged and euphoric. : Then, another major part of my thinking is the idea that if two different ideas describe something fully, they are both right as they pertain to the thing they describe. For instance, the human body is a lot of strings stuck together by laws of physics, but it is also a single object that has a set of hugely complex characteristics, and it is also a lot of body parts like arms attached to a body which has organs inside it. The surgeon's, holist's, and scientist's views are all exactly right, because they describe the same thing equally well. I use this to help me not get angry at differing beliefs, when comparing them to other beliefs such as my own. It doesn't really apply to logic in most cases, because the method of arriving at the conclusion doesn't matter in logic, just the conclusion. : Then, there is my common sense. My common sense is a little bit stranger than most peoples', but it is definitely there. Included in it is: : ---Getting through everyday life common sense, such as "cups are stored behind the sink". Everyone has this, and mine isn't special. : ---Science common sense. Most people have this too - just a basic sense of what will happen because of physical laws. An example is the description of why a car works. : ---Eastern philosophy common sense. This is beyond a special religion for me, and is just part of the world. I have been exposed to it from a very young age, and I have had a few mystical experiences supporting it, and chi and acupuncture theory and the Tan'Tien I accept to the deepest levels of my being, as deep as everyday life common sense and science common sense. This is the reason why my common sense is a little bit wierd. : : Well, that's it. Sambersil's brain (well, all the parts that pertain to thought that I can think of right now) in seven easy lessons. May you be wiser for it. : PLEASE post a response of some sort, if for nothing but to indicate you read this.
