    meaning is a fantasy demanded by ego, and completely not required. i will have to listen/watch/see what they are, those linked vids some time though.

    I'm pretty sure that dude and his clan lived on my block in Uptown Chicago in 1980 or so. Or it may have been a guy just like him. ;)

    Not quite. The guy is some kind of a performance artist. Got his own Youtube channel with 100+ videos. In interviews he actually speaks more like a normal person.

    Not 100% sure if he's playing with a full deck, though.

    that you can stub your toe on it in the dark without believing a word of it, is the only proof of the only proof. it doesn't matter if he was playing with a full deck. i believe we live in more then the now. but i also believe in cutting the crap, and that all the words are our own words, and that whatever gods or spirit things might be, all our words, are just our words. however intentionally or unintentionally he made that point, to my eyes, he made it well.

    as for what i expect, i avoid expecting, and was well rewarded for doing so.

    False.

    We must determine whether a thing is helpful or not, i.e. good to eat. There is good in the world for us and we must have it.

    I think he means to say: we perceive something as good for us or not after we gave meaning to it. So that's why it has something to do with eachother.

    this makes no sense that i can see either. sorry if that makes me not human.

    meaning of life = you're alive, now what are you going to do with/about it? life doesn't have to have meaning. no one lacks the capacity to enjoy being alive and living without the pretense that it does.

    if we want gratification though, then we need in some manor, to create or explore. and yes, this can include generosity of some kind on some level.

    now the meaning of community, is to give everybody a chance, when they've run into some kind of difficulty that is more then they can solve alone.

    otherwise it serves no purpose and is questionable that it can even be defined to exist.

    there is no meaning/purpose except for that which you personally assign to it. same goes with the earth and our universe. we are here because we are, now its up to us to do something useful with our gift, and what an amazing gift it is.
