Are We All One?

Re: Are We All One?

Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Seriouspost there are tons of them, try Spinoza for starters.

For more modern philosophers into the same thing, try Douglas Hofstadter.

Spinoza

THAT's the name I was trying to remember.


By the way, I like Hobbes' idea of "humans are wild animals", and the importance of a leader among us. So, using this way of thinking and answering the thread question, no, we're not one.


Edit: Nevermind, we're at Chit Chat, not Critical Thinking.

If humanity were a single entity, there would be no war.
Wait, no... still possible, but we'd be one very masochistic entity. :/
