Been growing mine for about 4.5 years now. Pics before they come off?

Why I'm doing this is because I believe there should be an instinctive response to every situation you come across, and using the basic instincts there didn't seem to be. The way "universal ideals" such as Justice and Courage are described within the Socratic dialogues, as something which ...

Well to me the fact that emotion can contradict intellect, instinct can contradict emotion, etc. means that they are separate in the way they function. They have been defined in pretty much every philosophical/spiritual movement on earth whether as mind, body and soul; gross mind subtle mind, and ve...

Yeah I would say Mastery is an instinct/ideal, an incredibly powerful one to have gone unremarked for this long tbh, but disgust is an emotion really. My idea is that like we have an emotional and an intelligent response to everything we see that'll prompt towards a certain action (or inaction), we ...

The original point of the thread was to try and evaluate some of our universal ideals as mechanistic responses, designed to aid the survival of the human race - instinctual drives. I'm not sure some of the stuff mentioned are universal ideals. The ones I see as universal in this thread are Justice -...

Sorry, had to curtail my musings for exams, partying and all that good shit. How could an attempt by the universe to understand itself ever be considered insignificant to that universe? SInce we are a result of that attempt, how can we be considered insignificant... if anything the fact that the uni...

Yeah kind of. I think humanity's continued survival is the end goal of all our instincts/ideals, so in a way yes.

Errr... a mothers love? idk Again, I would say that nobody is really has a love for money (coins and paper) but for what having the money entails... On that mother's love, the ideals to me are the higher instincts that pertain to the survival of the whole of humanity, so that fits a mother's love f...

True cityzen, but looking at the driving motive behind Love, does it ever occur where there is not an attachment? To me no - it's general purpose seems to be to strengthen an attachment that we hold because in some way it may be beneficial, because of that I think you can be in love with an inanimat...

Hmm... That is a point cityzen. Though I've got to ask, do you do things out of a genuine selflessness or simply to maintain/deepen the attachment? I was just thinking about the love of money, and surely you do things for money in order to maintain/strengthen your attachment to it. The same goes wit...

http://individunification.com/bhavachakra_fires.jpg Greed, ignorance and anger. :mrgreen: I've seen a similar picture to that but it's 3 naked guys, I also seen just one naked guy achieve the same goal. That is quite spectacular, I love things like that. I did wonder about Truth and Justice, but I ...

Sorry double post. @ sd5 Interesting thinking with some of those suggestions.

I don't disagree with the theory, but I'm of the opinion that Humanity's endgoal is to become a super-organism, in the way ants and bees are. My train of thought is probably spurred by the idea that 'God', though not necessarily real, is (supposed to be) to us what the Queen Ant or the Queen Bee is ...

I'm just thinking about human ideals at the moment, the sort of ideals which are kinda like a higher instinct designed to ensure the survival of the human race as a whole, rather than the human being as a singular person. So far I've come up with Truth, Love and Justice, but I get the feeling there ...

Also for UK artists there's a few on the Apples and Snakes channel.

For spoken word there's





In fact any Def Jam Poetry is good

I get that impression too. From the first episode actually, after Kyle got that treatment in Human CentiPad - his portrayal in Crack Baby Athletic Assoiation wasn't great either, now this one too. He's a caricature of Matt Stone so there's gotta be something behind that.

Well, your mum's got athlete's foot.

Bruv if you were a real Jehst fan instead of jumping on the bandwagon to slate the guy you posted, you would be saying something like "Eye of the storm, my tears fall as a torrential downpour The flood, your death wish written in blood" Strip it to it's bare bones that's simply - "I'm...
