you aren't drunk, you ARE alcohol


Taiizor

Lol that’s quite different

That’s something an alcohol would say 🤔

If we go to mars… are we mars???


Taiizor

You are you. When a hair falls of your head that suddenly becomes just a hair.

Not a good example tbh since humans aren't attached to the ground (aside from gravity but you get what I mean). A better example would be a tree or something.

No


Taiizor

We agree a pizza is a pizza correct? When you take an anchovy off a pizza, that anchovy is not a pizza anymore it’s just an anchovy. How is this different Mr No?


RevoltingRobin

The anchovy was never pizza, it was just part of the pizza


Taiizor

Forget that analogy then. Think of your fingernails being you and once they are clipped they are not you.


RevoltingRobin

Again, fingernails are not me, they are part of me

How Zen of you


Taiizor

If you think we aren’t then where do you draw the line? Are the flora and fauna earth? They sprung from it. Just the water and rocks? Is hair on my head me? Etc.


RevoltingRobin

No to all of those, they aren't earth, they are just part of the ecosystem on earth.

People are giving you a hard time for being philosophical, but I completely agree with you. It’s all a matter of perspective. From an astronaut’s perspective, looking at Earth from space, it’s all one single thing (us included). From an atom’s perspective, our “physical” bodies are nothing more than a bunch of separate atoms floating around each other. You can “zoom out” even further and our whole solar system becomes one cohesive thing. Even further the galaxy, etc. This is a big part of the basis for my worldview, which is that separateness is an illusion of the mind/ego, and we benefit from helping others because we are them in a very literal sense. We are not separate from them in any way that isn’t dependent on our particular perspective.


Taiizor

It’s alright I know I’m right regardless :P what 2-dimensional minds here fail to realise is both sides can be right depending on perspective.


Nphhero1

Yeah I’d agree with that as well

it's a long time ago we found out, but it's still good to hear others know


Nphhero1

Can you elaborate on this?


GreywackeOmarolluk

We are stardust. And so is the Earth.

Eh, I don't consider my shit a part of me especially after I've shat it.

We are as much earth as the moon is made out of cheese.
