Not A Koan

The world is an illusion;
the Buddhists all insist.
But why should you believe them
when they think they don't exist?

I love this! Why should we listen to people who think they don't exist? By listening to them, we're asserting that they exist, and therefore not listening to them in the first place.

Damn, this post is like five years old or something. Sometimes when I comment on a really old post, I wonder if you even remember it.

Sure I do! I love it when someone comments on an older post.

As the footer to the 'random button' puts it, "...and feel free to comment! My older posts are certainly no less relevant to the burning concerns of the day."

I stand by that 100%.

Now, for these buddhists, seems to me they're hypocrites for answering back when we talk. Or something.

I also have a tidy proof of why solipsism at its most extreme is a self-refuting stance. Unfortunately, the proof only works for me.

But that's more than sufficient for a real solipsist!
