The dead are concious of nothing at all

Not long ago thedope tried to tell me we die because we're born! :-D

 

I didn't try I did. And it is so. It is life cycle. The placenta is an organ, it dies when you are born.

 

death is part of life; this is why reproduction is necessary to continue a species

 

The placenta can continue to thrive. In many of our European paganism traditions, a mother may eat her placenta or plant it on a specific day in the Callander year for a continuation.

 

thedope:

No, tried. You never finished your tale. Ok, the placenta gives way to our birth. Next chapter? How do we die because we're born?


I'll try and be instructive while you, er... wax lyrical.

 

I don't know Ace. I'm sure I used to think that. Which part is the question. The dead, as far as I know, stay dead. I think reproduction is chiefly for evolving a species. Life doesn't live by dying, but changing, however gradually.

 

true, the dead do indeed, stay dead. but life is all around us, and so is death. in the course of everyones life, there will be death. we as individuals do not live forever, eventually we die. but as a species, we are very much alive, and death is a part of that process.

 

If I understand your logic this species will not survive.

 

Ace:

Again, which part?

 

in the course of everyones life the ones that came before them will die. this is inescapable

perhaps we won't, but we seem to have made it this far..surprising considering how many have died

 

Ace:

Why?

 

human beings have a finite lifespan. the last experience in life is the experience of death.

 

I lost my tail when I stood up. Probability wants to express itself like boiling water. A plethora of meniscus and membranes that are constantly looking to reshuffle, i.e. moment of choice.

Thank you for the fictional account and I invite you to look around for the the genuine dope.

 

As long as there are still panda bears I am confident we will continue to make it as well!

 

Ace:

What are your thoughts on the concept of the superhuman? posthuman seems off, transhuman not specific enough.

You mean dying.



thedope:

So you've given up trying to tell me then? Selling yourself out as a fake is no way to concede a mistake!

 

As I read it he was very clear in telling you, Dejavu. Perhaps if it wasn't to you you should specify in what way he should expand? Otherwise it merely looks like a game of disagreeing with what he says no matter how long he makes his tale/tail

 

He told me the placenta dies. How, from that, is it 'very clear' that we die because we're born? Put your tongue back in your mouth. lol :-D

 

I think you're playing a game but if you see it very different you should explain yourself and not ask someone else to repeat himself just because you see it otherwise (but how?) or ask them to expand on something which is in line with conclusions gotten from deduction, but you 'lol' them away while offering not much in return.
If you are the only one who is missing the sense in what he says it is likely you are the one with a distorted perception. I'm not saying this is the case but lolling about his efforts (which seem very logical and valid to me) while not saying much substantial in return does not help seeing that otherwise

 

You say you "see the sense" in his saying we die because we're born, but not how. I was half-expecting you to start pushing that plate of placenta towards me. His efforts "Seem very logical and valid" to you, yet... you're not sure? Maybe stay out of it if you're "offering not much in return." One hypocrite at a time is enough for me. :-D

 

I am sure death is inevitable but I don't see the point of going out of my way to explain it to you
I am just sharing my thoughts of what is happening between you guys. As much as I enjoy reading your convo's I notice you lol away a lot and he is explaining himself over and over again No need to call people hypocrite because of that (or because you're getting defensive) because like I said it may not be the case but you lolling all the time (and responding in more derogatory ways as well!) does not serve any stance you take (if there's one).
