How do you know that you ARE dead?
Re: [clandestino] How do you know you are not dead?
You should talk to your mentor. I mean it! He loves philosophical questions.
Re: [clandestino] How do you know you are not dead?
Slit your wrists, see how that goes for you. I'm sure that will prove it either way. You are in Valhalla or heaven and you are chatting on a forum? That sounds like a shit afterlife
Re: [Dadsy] How do you know you are not dead?
You are both alive and dead! Any time an "event" happens all possible outcomes happen! Enjoy life and embrace death.....

I was raised to believe I am alive but, and if I had died while doing some other base jump and now I am in somewhere like heaven or Valhalla, being able to jump and post in forums etc
Do you remember the movie: The Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis?
maybe you are already dead and you do not know it ..
maybe not...
maybe you are living in a box with a furry tail and your owner is Mr. Schroedinger .. than you are both ...
cat-state..
easy way to test it:
jump without a parachute
if you are already dead > it doesn´t matter
if you are alive > it´s obvious that you are dead afterwards
see: if you are able to repeat the jump, you have been dead before. if not, you are now dead, no question ...
just kidding ..
don´t jump without a chute. BFL is real.
and I met Tracy in person long ago. His words are true. I swear he is alive.
If he can answer your questions, you must be alive, too.

How do you know you are not dreaming a dream in the dream of dream?
Re: [clandestino] How do you know you are not dead?
If we accept that we exist is an interesting though. If we believe we do then life an death are easier to understand, but do you exist?

That may be one of your greatest quotes ever--and that's an impressive feat.
Existentialism
I have a fellow professor who loves to tell me how he is unable to decide/believe whether he
does or does not have "Free Will".
I love Existentialism and have read/thought
and watched much on the topic, so I "get"
where he is coming from . . . BUT as a guy
who has done so many things to myself
that I have not wanted to do shudder at
the thought/consequence of believing
that we do not possess "Free Will" !!
I get that I am a clock-work orange of bad
genetics, bad childhood, bad programming,
but my tattoos, my skydives, my BASE jumps,
my lost fights, my car accidents, my arrests,
my injuries, and my failures all strike me as
deterministic, this belief makes living easier...
Although, in the end I think We All Make
Our Own Choices + Live or Die with Them.
Re: [GreenMachine] Existentialism
Are you sure you know anything about existentialism? Acting and free will are clearly defined
Re: Existentialism
Defined by whom? Viktor Frankl? Jean-Paul Sartre? Franz Kafka?
Tom Stoppard? Ingmar Bergman? Zach Morlock?
Nah, fuck all of the aforementioned, instead
here is the word per Mr. Lundergan, an old
coffee house joke of mine from 1995.
An Atheist says: There is no god.
An Agnostic says: I do not know for sure.
An Existentialist says: I do not really care...
because if there is a God, then I think She is
smiling on me since most days I try my best.
Old Bad Joke
Student walks in late to class for the third time in a row.
Professor says, "Are you Ignorant or Apathetic?!"
Student shrugs, "I don't know and I don't care."

You really think this is the first time you've been here? Or there? The sad part comes when you realize that everytime you close your eyes you end up waking up again. That's why I don't sleep anymore, up for days,
