Death is Final

1.) If you get knocked out people will even use the expression, "He's not there." Your consciousness goes out the window. You eventually wake up though. Death is like this but of course, there's no waking up. This example shows that your CONSCIOUSNESS is PHYSICAL. 
2.) When people get hit on the head hard or have strokes, sometimes their inner-voice can change...not so much in the way it sounds in their head but the way in which it functions. 
3.) When people do psychedelic drugs such as LSD or shrooms, they have what they call a "religious experience." This shows that a lot of what other people call "religious experiences" might just be some chemicals firing off in their head in abnormal ways. 
4.) The eternal soul is SUPPOSED to be exactly that: eternal. Where were you before you were born? Nowhere.

5. When stimulated one EGO part of the brain, religious people thought they were seeing God. Non-religious people thought they were meeting aliens. This is a real science experiment that happened. 



Some points that theoretically work:

 1.) The soul is eternal but the body and brain are not capable of accessing all of it's memory and/or potential. 


2.) That's really all I got. The above is theoretically OK but it just seems too much like wishful thinking.


What now? I die and that's it?

Well, don't get too disturbed. It sucks but it makes you really think about NOW, this moment. You re-evaluate your one shot. 



Doesn't this way of thinking make people go crazy and kill people? 


I don't think so. In rare cases, maybe. It will probably make you depressed for a little while but not for forever. As for killing people, ...you believe in life being one shot, Why would you fuck up someone else's only shot? 



What does it matter if it's all futile?

 It's futile? 

All of this is open for debate.

Two Movies

Two Movies To Which I am Looking Forward

My Take on Guns So Far

1. Hunting is probably OK.




2. The Second Amendment was made in a time when everyone had pistols and rifles. Today the government outlaws big guns for normal people while they use it for themselves.



3. The Second Amendment was made so that you could protect yourself from the government or other people if you wanted to. If a SWAT team came into your house...if the government really wanted to get you, those guns you bought at Wal-Mart are not going to do dick.



4. "So are you saying we should just outlaw all guns since it's already pointless anyway as far you can tell?" Well, it would seem that way. Basically, I just want people to see these views to have a better opinion about things. I'm not offering a solution at this point. I'm just showing more arguments.



5. "If hunting was OK, then people would probably just start killing each with those. Would crime go down just because the guns would be bigger? Also, since they're bigger, it makes it harder to conceal so now when someone is coming after you with a gun, you can recognize it quicker and have more time to run!"



6. Does making handguns illegal lower crime rates? Does it lower murder cases? 



7. We are living in an age of AK-47s and Uzis. This is not the age of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. We really need to take this stuff into account and not be blinded by our own blind need to "not be foreign."




Side Note:


Patriotism



I'm fine with people loving their own country but I've always hated how patriotism AUTOMATICALLY creates barriers with other people. Patriotism means you AUTOMATICALLY dislike other countries. That's the way it seems to me. I'm objective towards patriotism. 

Succession

I will study warfare and strategy so that my children can learn science and mathematics and so that their children can learn art and poetry.

Addendum to the previous entry.

Also, what can be very limiting and feel "empty" sometimes is the lack of sounds in Japanese. Even Wikipedia stated that Japanese "has a relatively small phonetic lexicon." 



There are 48 sounds in Japanese. That's right. You can count them. 


There are over 300 in English. 



There are apparently other languages that have even less sounds but going from 300 or so to 48 is quite a jump and while most of the sounds are fairly easy to say and basic pronunciation is fairly simple to get...the mere lack of more sounds makes Japanese feel very stripped down.

Japanese and English

For a native English speaker, Japanese can feel limiting sometimes. In Japanese, there is no:

Past Perfect (I had done that.)

Past Perfect Progressive (I had been doing that.)

Future Tense (You use the present tense and imply the future.)

Plurals (This is why they always forget it in English.)

And no language has as many expressions as English but Japanese really doesn't have that many.

And they have subjects and pronouns, but they prefer not to use them making things sound even simpler.

There is no distinction between gerund and infinitive in Japanese. In Japanese "To play baseball is fun" and "Playing baseball" is fun is the same thing.

There is no "will have done" or "will have had" or "will have been" grammatical construction in Japanese.

And in Japanese, they prefer to speak with the least amount of words. I heard a Swedish girl say that she wished they'd say something other than "kawaii," which means "That's cute." She said this because apparently in Swedish they mix it up more. The same goes in English. I've heard a lot of my friends from English speaking countries say that Japanese people say "sugoi" too much which basically means "great" or "awesome," something along those lines. The thing is,...they always fucking use this word. It's never changed up. In English, we say "cool" "awesome" "sweet" "amazing" "fantastic." That's five times as many words right there! I feel like people of European descent are always feeling like, "Use another fucking word! Sugoi is wayyyyy overused!" I overheard that there was some study saying that English speakers say three times as many different words in a day than Japanese speakers.

English does not have:

Wa and Ga ...the subject and topic markers

the Volitional form ...everyone says that "darou" and "deshou" are the "future tense" in Japanese but this is just not true. "darou" and "deshou" imply INTENTION...not a place in time! It implies one's VOLITION to do something...not the FUTURE like "will" Of course, maybe we sort of have this in English if we say "I intend to do something" but it's not EXACTLY the same, I guess.

Japanese has a shitload of onomatopeaia (sp?). More than most languages.

English has no gitaigo which is onomatopeaia for states. In English, we think of it only for mocking previous existing sounds but in Japanese they have onomatopeia words for actual states of being. This "gitaigo" as it is called is not found in English at ALL....I think.

If you're Japanese and want to talk about this further, let's debate this shit. I'm ready! I'm waiting on the retort.
