Schizophrenia patients also experience a lot of so called direct communication with other worldly beings as do people who take hallucinogens, so you can't trust experiential proof of something, especially in regards to the supernatural

Experiential sounds weak. There are people who claim to have been abducted by aliens, and I have no doubt they genuinely believe that it happened and it felt very real to them. As far as ultimate realit . I HAVE NO IDEAL IF WHAT I am experiencing is the only reality or if we are perhaps in a computer simulation or any other thing.

So you just randomly decided to believe in God and have blind faith that it is a certainty and above debate? This is a terrible argument in favor.

Sounds like the ontological argument. Is that what you are hinting at?

I'm not sure if there is any difference in putting your faith into the abyss or into God. It seems like the same exact thing, but with the God one, you are just pretending he exists because staring into the abyss is scary.

The fact you referred to death as a "vacation" is a cope. It implies you think of it as a black void you will be facing, but even a black void is something. Even facing nothingness implies that your consciousness still survives. Death is seizing to exist.

Some people might ask why I have such a fascination with death and aging. I’m really not sure myself. All I can tell you is that it has always been there.I think it comes from just being more aware of my fear than others.Once we become aware of death, and it’s seeming inevitability, we form one of four coping mechanisms. The 4 copes are as follows;
1. Believing in a religion and hoping that, the religion will lead to everlasting lifespan
2. Seeking to be immortalized through our works, by becoming famous, making millions or getting involved in politics and other similar things to make us larger than life.
3. Seeking the fountain of youth. These are the type of people trying to literally hunt for a magic fountain, use alchemy or pursue the philosopher’s stone.
4. Having children.These are the people who think of their kids as an extension of themselves and are seeking immortality through reproduction.
Some of us don’t think we are using copes, but we are. These people are those who have no fear of death. Anyone who has no fear of death has psychologically minimized what it is. They describe it as going to sleep, or say it is just like before you are born. They’ll reassure you that death is nothing to be scared of, or that it doesn’t hurt (As if it matters)
Death is real, and it is not going to sleep. It is not “being in nothingness”. What it is, is seizing to exist. When you die, you stop existing at all.Anything you did is pointless because your world has ended.
If I don’t use copes, you might ask what I do actually do.
First, I know that life has lost all meaning if you just end up dead anyway. Even if you try to rationalize it as having been good because you helped somebody, it is pointless. The person you helped will die also, and they will be lost to the sands of time.
There are only 2 correct responses to the fact we know we will stop existing at some point. The first rational response is to just give up. It most likely is true that we will fail to cheat death. No other generation has done so, before us though many have tried. When you give up, you go the hedonistic route. Enjoy every moment to it’s fullness. Screw the future, in the future we are dead.
The second response is the more heroic one, which is to actively fight the prospect of death. To hold off on the hope that we can one day do the impossible and cheat death, and in fact by taking the more heroic route, we actually increase our chances of beating death.
I encourage all of you to take the heroic route. Watch my posts, do what I tell you todo, but using your own judgment. I have a debate with rationalmadman where I give diet advice. Take the advice I give. Soon I will give advice on what to do in terms of activism and even provide you with solid career advice to help me end aging.

These are public, not private airwaves for many of these channels, there is nothing wrong with imposing some censorship on them and ensuring the channels are helping the public in some way. If you watch the original seinfeld episodes and these new ones, you see the problem with edits for time constraints. In comedy, timing is very important for example. The episodes now run at a mildly fast forwarded speed. Meaning that the Seinfeld episodes you buy on the DVD box sets, will be funnier than the episodes you see on your local television, sped up to cram more commercials in.
Canada is actually quite big on censorship. The media will get bans on talking about certain court cases for example until a trial is over, and they are trying to really cramp down on free speech at their universities. I would be opposed to the government imposing speech constraints on private enterprises, unless private enterprises are acting in publicly owned venues.

I like your last post. That makes a lot of sense. The other stuff this "textonic" symbolism or sacred geometry is something I have only seen from the occasional schizophrenic patient, and doesn't make much sense.

Quick hammer is not bad or good. Decisions don't need to be delayed. Particularly if they are well thought out and somebody has good reasons for them. Honestly I would rather scum be quick hammered than slow hammered. The faster we knock them out, the faster we win.

I read somewhere that so many people think that eye looking thinking is a tell that usually going out of somebody's way to stare you down while stating something, is a reverse tell.

I never played before. I think I will have to read up on it when I get off of work later. I think I watched the first season of southpark when it came out but lost interest afterwards.

I understand that's what the old interventions looked like, lol. The maximum lifespan is what we are looking to extend. The maximum lifespan at the moment seems to be about 120. The real goal is to extend the maximum lifespan and help more people achieve that. I just don't see it being possible to push back the maximum lifespan, without delaying the aging process.

Well dying can only occur if you are alive, but I wouldn't use it as a synonym any more than I would using eating as a synonym for living.
Increasing lifespan does not only mean increasing the later years of life. We have increased the human health span as well. Ome example is testosterone replacement therapy. To think that living longer means we can't also live more fit and healthy with advancing age, is quite silly.
To say that extending how long somebody stays in a decrepit body is not worth it is probably just as silly. There are a lot of happy healthy elderly people, and it is quite cruel to say they should die sooner. Because their bodies are capable of less than when they were younger.
I think your last sentence is the real insight into your psychology though. Thinking death is inevitable causes you to cope with this by chalking it up to false hope and saying living longer is not worth it anywa
