Or rather, with my interpretation of one of his quotes:
re: Sklaroff wall post
good job, but there's still something troubling about it
like, why does one throw one's entire self
rather than like, most of it
it's a suicide of a different type in that sense
if you give all of yourself to something
there's nothing left
hella selfless, I suppose
me
yeah
Zak
perhaps virtuous
in that sense
me
i mean i'm willing to go far as to say the self isn't really anything but a conglomeration of ones interactions with society or w/e
all existence is external
looking into the self one will not find much
that's why people get much happier helping other people (peace corps or w.e) than by helping themselves
....
______________
but ye in response to your response to my sklar comment
i guess what i mean is
there is no throwing 'most of ones self' into something
as long as you are not committing suicide
you are throwing your whole self into all of existence
whether thats just religion or like 5 things
doesn't change that fact
existence is all one anyways
human categories distinguish it
but once you say 'yes' to this moment,
you are saying yes to all of existence
does that make sense?

Zak
i think i follow but maybe not that last "saying yes to the moment = yes to existence" bit
me
its the same thing as saying as long as you are not committing suicide
you are throwing your whole self into all of existence
you are throwing your whole self into all of existence
Zak
and i kind of agree with the
you are what you do
you are what other people experience
me
and "existence is all one anyways"
there is only one binary
truth and nihilism
nihilism is a saying 'no' to the moment
