What is the Marxist/materialist understanding of Buddhism? Have Marxists ever made an attempt to codify the tenants of Buddhism? I am unsure if Buddhism is to idealistic to even work with in the frame work of Marxism.

I kind of take after Zezik anyways that ideology is a trashcan for us to plunder. I think Marx had the most influential thoughts and ideals but I think we can also implement stoicism and Buddhism into our every day lives to help us with the current moment.

Stoics believed not in giving up everything but being un swayed by fickle actions that do not effect the greater good of society. Such as gossip. I think this fits into the narrative of Marxism but Buddhism takes it further. I think that Buddhist are right too. Like Marxists, but, they are in the other direction. Philosophically there are a couple ways to escape suffering. You can do as Marx advocated and change the material reality. You can envelope yourself in philosophy and science. Or you can do as Buddhists advocate and let go of everything worldly and impermanent. Now I ilagree with both Marx and Buddhism here but I am curious of how I can incorporate Buddhism and some of the teachings with out giving up my beliefs that the world can be a better place. I guess I kind of answered my own question but I am more seeking advice as to how.

It's been a while since I read Meditations, but that wasn't my reading at all:

While recognizing some fundamental realities, most meaning is ascribed by people, often in a way that doesn't serve their own long term happiness or well being. The task then becomes to discard with useless, contrived meaning and replace with with a sense of meaning(s) that does serve to facilitate a life worth living. This often requires foregoing pleasure and ignoring the petty opinions of others. In a sense, because 'nothing matters,' everything matters.

It also worth nothing that Meditations wasn't a book meant of to published, but a diary.

What do you all think about the origins of Covid?

Many scientists say it occurred in nature, but also, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the supposed leak came from, is actually USAID funded.

USAID of course being synonmous with regime change.

It has troubled me for a while that just before Covid was released, the world was in huge turmoil that threatend to spill over.

Everybody remember how all economic indicators were pointing to a massive crash BEFORE Covid happened. Also all around the world, on every continent, revolutionary movements had sprung up in response to the century of neoliberalism and fascism before them.

The amazon burned.

Its almost too perfect. Blame it as a chinese bioweapon, cover up for the impending economic crash, and provide an excuse for pro big business policies into posterity, "we need austerity because so much was lost during the pandemic" at the same time giving unprecedented powers to curb protests, this, right at the same time as all kinds of protests were stirring across the world as previously stated, and the world was about to have another big wave of protest due to impending economic crash.

I don't have a solid theory on it, but a lot of it is very out of place.

Only the Fourth Horseman, Death, was given a name in Revelation. The second and third are usually referred to as War and Famine, respectively, though those names are simply given to them based on how they are described in Revelation. The first however is a bit more ambiguous. The specific passage of Revelation states:
>I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
So sometimes he is referred to as Conquest, though Pestilence is another interpretation, as apparently a bow and arrows can symbolism disease, actually found an article about it: https://jisforjourney.com/pestilence-prayer-arrows-plague/
So in order they would be: Pestilence/Conquest, War, Famine, and Death.
So since the First Horseman wears a crown, and "corona" (as in coronavirus) essentially means "crown," it just struck me as a spooky coincidence.

I HAVE A THEORY THAT COVID IS A SENTIENT MICROORGANISM/NANOTECHNOLOGY DESIGNED TO ACT AS A GOD OF SORTS. HEAR ME OUT. WHAT BETTER WAY TO KNOW THE TRUE NATURE OF OTHERS, IN TERMS OF GOOD AND EVIL, THEN BY INTRODUCING A PASSENGER PROGRAMMED TO COLLECT DATA ON THE CITIZENS OF THE EARTH AND REPORT BACK TO A DATA CENTER TO BE LATER SORTED BASED ON ALGORITHMS. AFTER THE DATA IS ANALYZED, THE VACCINE IS INTRODUCED INTO THE BODY WHICH CAN BE ACTIVATED TO EITHER KILL THE PERSON OR INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE INDIVIDUAL BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THEIR DATA COLLECTED. ALSO THIS DATA COLLECTED COULD BE USED TO IDENTIFY ANOMALIES OR THOSE WITH DNA INDICATING EXTRAORDINARY ABILITIES IN ORDER TO COLLECT THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THEM.

Revelation was a disguised political screed that was about the supposedly inevitable return of the Julio-Claudians. Nero was the proverbial "beast." The return of Nero was a popular doomsday prophesy after the bloody wars that saw Nero exiled. People of the empire, especially the Cult of Christ feared the end of the peace and stability of the short-lived Flavian Dynasty.

dead matter is ultimately inferior to living matter
living matter is constantly changing, which is a requirement for adaptability in this chaotic world

until synthetic matter can change like organic matter, ie be a stable non-equilibrium system - any synthetic organism will be ultimately inferior

which I have my doubts can be made considering thermodynamic limitations, and even if it can, could be that much superior in design than what nature itself produced and honed for millions of years

I suspect that any fundamental limitations in living organisms that there are - are a consequence of our universe itself and laws that govern it

That's what some one on pleroma said, but, I would think it kind of does though. Like just because its life on this earth it still kind of proof life other than humans can exist. I mean shit, technically other animals prove that.

Here is an introduction to the M.O.N.D. hypotheses which assumes that dark matter does not exist
https://aeon.co/essays/we-should-explore-alternatives-to-the-standard-model-of-cosmology.

The "MOND people" are motivated to drop dark matter because it does not have empirical evidence.
No detector has been able to find the dark matter particles even after decades of trying. That means there are no direct measurements and that makes many materialists a bit skeptical, as well as restless to move on to different theoretical models.

This is a riveting tale about gravity, the shape of galaxies and the speed of stars.

What do you think about dark matter ?

I think you are getting some terms mixed up, for an understanding of why GR becomes involved when talking about spacetime between different points in the universe this is a good summary.

Sup leftychan.
Anybody ever heard of this guy? He's a mid twenties artist with skitzophrenia. I'm not really here to talk about him, per see, but he also talks a lot about the crazy shit he sees and he always returns to this one point "it's all part of or connected to a central energy or "consciousness" in the universe" I'm not saying he's right I am just curious, like, you hear the same thing from people who do psychedelic drugs. They talk about a oneness with things and see fractles and and patterns if not out right hollucinations. I have never see the types of hallucinations this skitzo friend sees on LSD or DMT but they are similar in a way. My question is why does everyone in altered states of minds report this type of shit?

He has a tictok if you wanna see more of his shit. He has some crazy drawing. He's cool though. Seems like /ourguy/

That doesn't make it inherently correct though. Like was said, it doesn't make the skitzos right either. It's just interesting is all. Science totally falls apart under the weight of the solipsistic proposition, though.

It doesn't necessarily contradict physics, and the expansion of the universe has no bearing here whatsoever. These ideas and the reasoning behind them are complicated and there's variation depending on who you're talking too. At best it goes against some intuition and surface level experience, but you could spend hours listing scientific facts that do.
