You must have learned your philosophy from Franz Kafka or Dostoevsky.
Why is that?
Metamorphosis. They both wrote about it.

I take that back, your philosophy would be an insult to them.

Why do you feel the need to put other people down? If you were secure in your own beliefs, you would want to do the exact opposite.
I was only alluding to the fact they were pointing out the absurdity of human metamorphosis and you take it seriously.

It doesn't come across that way.
Look, you seem like a pretty intelligent guy and have some interesting things to say, but there is no need for you to "help" me. If you don't agree with what I am saying, then engage me. Putting me down makes you seem weak. After all, you know practically nothing about me.
I know that some of what I write seems confusing because I jump back and forth between intellectual and non-intellectual subject-matter, but keep it friendly and I believe we can have some really interesting conversations.
I haven't read any philosophy in decades, so what I write is how I feel. I would characterize myself as being a philosophical anarchist as well as being a very serious Zen student for the past 3+ decades. Perhaps this might help you understand my perspectives better.
