Pneumatic,
Your claimed essence, not the overall essence of humanity. Who are you?
Kris, thatâs so sad.
So youâre not a monist? Are you an âinfinitistâ?
Ah, we have Descartes himself here to solve all our problems! 
The âbare essenceâ thing comprising consciousness, I can understand, but the mortality? What do you mean by âmortalityâ?
And what is your âsuggestiveâ theorem? And what makes it âsuggestiveâ? Should I even ask that question? Probably not. 
Indeed.
Your essence is merely yourself in a nutshell lol if that even makes sense but yet itâs all that there is to be determined by only you⌠
My essence is to want to resolve the need of Godâs need, or to create the beginning of time. The universe is the result of collision, because time wasnât able to begin.
âAn examined life is not worth living.â
âThe noblest of all studies is the study of what man/women is, and of what life theyâve lived.â
âThe energy of the mind is the essence of life itself.â
Insight please regarding those un-examined quotes.
They need not be examined. Theyâre the most basic of quotes about life and itâs essence from the top tier philosophers, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.
Did you intentionally put your own spin on them or was there error there?
Blindly following the authorities, huh? That is the last thing a true philosopher should do. Philosophy is all about examinationâeven when at face value the idioms in question seem self-evident.
For example:
âThe noblest of all studies is the study of what man/women is, and of what life theyâve lived.â
Are we so sure? Many would argue that the noblest of all studies is what we should do, not what we are.
And who says the unexamined life is not worth living? Canât one live a full and rich life without examining it?
And what do you think a materialist would say about the energy of the mind being the essence of life itself?
Not entirely, the messages have trailed from past experiences. And to say those philosophers are authoritarian âŚuuumm⌠no. They were teachers, possibly better educators than those of our modern day.
âThe noblest of all studies is the study of what man/women is, and of what life theyâve lived.â
So whoâs (âthe manyâ) lol. Please read the whole entire quote of mines. "Of what men/women IS
Indeed one can live a life to the fullest with out investigation into deeper metaphysics of oneâs being. Yet this is only a metaphor Iâm sure of it, I canât for a minute believe itâs a dictum, come on. it appropriates that a life not researched is just that a life unknown and totally void of investigation, not to be worth livingâŚ
I canât think for a materialist, yet Iâd say to one⌠Just know what the mind holds, itâs possibly the most dangerous weapon ever made. Itâs pure energy and functionality is more valuable than that of what materialistic people think is more important. knowledge is the basis for all arrangementsâŚ
The information there was more easily obtainable lol sorry for the confusion. I thought it to be exceptionally evident⌠This being I Love PHILOSOPHY and all
Why is power bestowed on those who try to skirt it? The eager are always chasing power. The skirters, those who fear their capabilities end up with it.
Not true. Those who fear their own capabilities (and Iâve seen this too many times to count) have not that power to gain, cause they just canât, not having faith in their own capabilities to attain what power is available. Yet they are only eager, and continue to pursue, learning and accumulating more knowledge to have that capable faculty.
Which is well on the road to authoritarianism.
Presumably that would determine what we should do? Why not just say it directly? Otherwise, it would require examination.
But if you agree that a life without investigation into the deeper metaphysics of oneâs being can still be full, then how is it not worth living?
Right, 'cause that would convince them that mind is more than just matter. The point isnât what you would argue, the point is that such a question doesnât need examination. You shouldnât have to argue anything.
Is true. Have you never met those who fear what they are capable of? Those who are pending further notice who feign weakness just to sidestep destiny? Tricky, tricky business it 'tis.
UUUuuuhhh⌠Well I did say no⌠Itâs not enforcing any obedience into what is acceptable. Philosophers allowed us to think freely on our own self-will. Again, philosophers arenât at all authoritarian in my views.
Once over this is a reason we really shouldnât presume things. See here, if youâre confused on this, I will clarify and instill. Now, âThe noblest of all studies is the study of what man/women isâ. This obviously entails that (i.e. man/women) no matter what form or shape, they become changed developing and adopting new ways of thinking and knowledge, by constant learning. So, whatever they be and their entire consistency of having learned from life, this is what is the noblest of all studies.
LIKE I SAID, itâs more of just a metaphor in my eyesâŚIn other words itâs not literal.
First off is the mind not more than matter anyhow?
Secondly, your questions are having to go over examination extensively.
Argumentation is just another âAuthoritarianâ or âPhilosophicalâ discipline. There are rules to relativism. Further-more how does monism not hinder dualism. In this, allow me to ask, is not idealism and physicalism conflicted of one another being self-contradictory? With this Iâd remain as pluralistic with all matter of life.
As Iâve stated⌠âHave not the power to gainâ Are we speaking of the incapable or of the capable here, come on???
The overly capable, the too qualified, prowess-based gifts galore in all lifetimes. The chosen. Ones who knew, remembered, this early on.
I didnât mean authoritarian in the political sense; I meant it in the pedagogic sense. You are treating them as authoritarian by saying their quotes need no examination or questioningâlike they are the authorities on the matter and what they say is infallible.
Youâre explaining what the quote means but not that itâs true (let alone self-evidently true).
And like I asked: what is it a metaphor for?
Awe, well I understand what you mean here. So by that, itâs just that they were gifted in the teaching that were surrounded entirely on scientific facts and indisputable evidence. SoâŚ
Well from what it actually means, isnât self-evident at all? Now if itâs true isnât my whole thesis. Yet I was trying to clarify that for you my apologies. âPresumably that would determine what we should do? Why not just say it directly? Otherwise, it would require examination.â Yet, you did only want it directly otherwise it would require examination.
Are you trying to exacerbate this? âit appropriates that a life not researched is just that, a life unknown and totally void of investigation, isnât worth livingâŚâ
Well thatâs what i thought, I thought we were speaking of philosophers as being authoritarian. All that need to be clarified as well I guess . Yet Argumentation is just another study or discipline am I wrong??
Self-contradictory in that they totally contradict each self. Itâs more of them not being to exist without the other in life, both being an understatement of the other in other words. So, forgive me here, but i think I explained this just now⌠[-o<
Also to suggest you Sir Gib didnât answer the question accordingly
Itâs intelligent to ask questions though⌠Thatâs from where I obtain all my best material.
