I've been looking at what the pay is like for a Ninja and it's good news, the average Ninja earns $61,000, although this is $14,00 less than a prirate who would stand to earn $75,000. Why don't you become a pirate instead? It requires less physical fitness, shorter hours, you are 22% more likely to be hired and you get $14,000 a year more money.

The funny thing about this, I like acting like a pirate, have a pirate outfit and sometimes I like to buy a bottle of rum and act like a pirate...

They tend to come either from some mean-ass plants or some terrifying combination of chemicals.

Drugs do come from your soul, your mind can produce the effect of anu drug with the right training.

You thinkn that you can train yourself to mess up the neurons in your brain on command.

You cannot be serious.

Your perceptions are your reality, I perceive that I can mess up my neural connection on command, eventually I will be able to do it - or maybe I won't be able to do it, but regardless of if I can actually do it, if I think I'm doing it, and it feels like I'm doing it, then I'm cool with that.

Well why don't you become a pirate then? It's a far more realistic vocation in life. All you have to do is buy a plane ticket to Somalia or the Philippines, find a gang of pirates and you're set.

Not the damned brain in a jar argument

There is a difference between our perceptions and our senses - one oculd make an argument that one's senses define one's reality, but one's perceptions obviously do not, otherwise one could not be wrong. And people are wrong constantly. Hell, you're wrong right now!

If you manage to delude yourself into thinking that you're getting high just by thinkig about it, that's cool, but I'm going to assume that this development would mean that you're getting off drugs.

Haha, kamal, philosophy doesn't get us anywhere. IT's a big circle of thought that flows in all directions, with seemingly infinite concepts to explore and apply to other subjects.

We actually agree on something.



"Life is but a gentle death. Fate is but a sickness that results in extinction and in the midst of all the uncertainty, lies resolve."

What exactly is unrealistic about being a ninja, highway? You practise backflip, eventually you'll do it. Apply the same concept to any other ninja skill. You must be formless, like water. Or fire. Air is pretty formless too.

MY future? The future is now, dude.

Lol....  Someone really is a little too lost for help.  I suggest we leave him be and stop giving him attention, people.

The concept of being lost can be applied to both of us, from your view I'm lost, or maybe that was a joke, but to me and a lot of spiritual people, you're the one who's lost. I suggest if you want people to stop giving me attention, you yourself follow your advice and don't give me attention.

Will do.  And never call yourself spiritual.  I'm a spiritual person.  That is not the correct word to define someone the likes of you.

Spirituality is a broad concept that can be applied to many situations, for example some call reading a book and asking an all powerful entity in the sky to do things to be a spiritual concept, some thing walking in nature is spiritual... For me, music, buddhism, taoism, drugs, ninjitsu, all very spiritual, because it comes from my soul. Not everyones spirituality is the same, I apologize if I'm not spiritual in the sense that you proclaim, but I meditate, I read religious texts, I consider myself spiritual. But then again some people might call me philosophical rather than spiritual.

This is the response of someone who is ignorant to what they are talking about.  In fact you lack the knowledge of most of the topics you are trying to speak of.  Perhaps if you took the time to be educated and thoroughly understand these things rather than just believing whatever made up stuff you want......

Wessle how much do you actually know about Zen? Do you know the paradox of the mirror and dust?

What? I'm not trying to connect my ideas to your preconceived notions of any brain jar argument...

I don't care if I'm right or wrong my friend, they're stressful concepts. How am I wrong in your view?

Yes, it would be REALLY cool to be able to get high by thinking about it. It's basically the same thing those meditating yogis do, they practise feeling good via medition, but likely they attatch different concepts to their perceptions than me. I want to be totally upfront with myself, the world, and others...

Having a skill is nothing in life unless you can make it pay off. I'm pretty shit hot at Super Mario Brothers because I've spent a good portion of my life playing it. Where's being good at Super Mario brothers going to get me? Nowhere, that's where. Will that skill get me a job? No.

I know it sounds like a cool job but there is no call for Ninjas, honestly try and get a job as a Ninja. I doubt anyone has had one since 18th century Japan. You can be the best Ninja the world has ever seen, but it's unlikely that you could live off being a Ninja.

I'm sorry if I'm being harsh, but it is the truth. At least piracy is a thriving industry right now lol.
