Nice name by the way...what does it mean?

Hello homy. Please be feeling free to being a gangster of epic fericking perportions on this here website, you hear that? Yes, for shizzy. And I will be on the look out for your mad wicked skill set so that we can better communicate and maybe become brothers from different mothers. I'm glad I grew u...

Nameless,... By mind I meant perception. And the basic idea that I wanted to come to with this thread was, it's all in the head. I'm actually not saying nothing exists, but that nothing exists outside our perception and thought. We see the chair, so it's there. But if I don't see a chair because I d...

Nameless, you sound familiar...

but if you give me a little bit of time,(weird expression), I like your replies and I'd like to discuss them with you.

Kake, who began this thread with Nothing exists outside the mind. Anybody want to contend? I challenge anyone to show me that things actually exist.

Banno, would you mind explaining how they might not be? Just a little more detail as to what you're getting at?

I do like the idea of goatism being a way to discuss things without bias,... but bias plays into things eventually anyway. ...Why a goat?... Everyone is looking for their "alpha" male. We're not all the way out of our animalistic urges yet. Rose tinted glasses. Are you well aware of string...

I thought he was on to something with all the talk of "getting rid of bias thought", but then he didn't like the idea of the cycle of goats, weird.
