So, This is a thinking paradox challenge to come up with an original thought that is strictly from yourself and has not been copied, influenced, inspired, compiled, derived, planted or originally experienced from any other sources other than yourself. In this exercise you would have to close yourself to any outside influence or experience you might have had to come up with this.
idea:
We all know that we are creatures of influence and do not live in a vacuum. The idea behind this is experiment is that there is a fine line between thoughts that are your own and what you ingest into your mind from outside influence. Can you really decipher the difference of who you are and what is an external supplanting of ideas/influence that shape you for better or for worst.
Post or just observe at home, work, any thought completely within yourself that is isolated from any external reality or influence free from any experience from your whole life.
no copy pasting, only original reflection. no need to post. observation in this mental exercise is ok.
thanks. ♥

No, you can't detach yourself from"here & now" and as such you can't produce purely original thought. BUT you can produce revision of an old thought that gains a new meaning because of changing reality of the times you live in.
- its not easy especially in the begining. from the exercise you almost forced to go into meditation. its not an easy task also but still exploring.yurimon
- also depends on determination.yurimon
- thanks for your thoughts.yurimon
- you can try by understanding the process that shaped you but even then you will discover significant issues that will stop by half way in your tracks.pr2
- I know. its pretty hard. I think the challenge or exercise in the attempt makes you think about the difference perhaps.yurimon

- they kicked you out of the oto? :)yurimon
- what are you even talking about? is it possible for you to say anything without trying to disparage folks?scarabin
- if you want people to participate in your threads it's a good idea to not crap on their contributions.scarabin
- ok sorry boot the disparage misunderstanding, but, fart in the box? I just felt your contribution would be less

So far, either I get into a more meditative state. where no thinking or i get a review of things that influenced externally and you start an attempt to try to define. this is a process it seems more on meditation side almost like zen. probably would take time if its an ongoing experience or exercise. but interesting if someone was taking this on the serious side.

Seems to me there are far more productive parameters for self introspection. Also, zen is about oneness with all matter and energy not what a unique snowflake you are

Everything created (writing, art, design, architecture, music, etc...) are ALL: influenced, copied, inspired from, compiled, and or derived from something. Nothing is original, absolutely nothing! it is impossible for a human to come up with something original...and if a narcissistic, megalomaniac, ego-centric person says otherwise...they are lying to themselves.

this is very hard, because even the use words it self are references to something, they have a original meaning.
but it is a good exercise regardless.

Some interesting conversations @ the TED boards.
Is it possible to have an entirely original thought?
http://www.ted.com/conversations…what according to you is an original idea?

This just happened on the Politics thread:
https://www.qbn.com/reply/391187…I think it's worth a repost. Wake up sheeple!
deathboy:
Voting is always a reminder of the MYTH of a representative democracy. That those you actually have to vote for somehow represent you and not their own interests like getting paid for mortgage or just to be employed. Most say whatever, as any non-principled person would do to achieve there own self interests.Being close to advertising I'd think we'd all know better in that any emo driven push about voting is a con. There is no real morality wether you vote or not and the purpose of such drivel is to try and secure credibility for the said representatives. PR 101. Make it pop!
Personally I just hope some sense of rule of law will survive, but history and thermodynamics seem to contest that outcome. Perhaps just last until i get old and die. That's my hope. I really hate to live the same as so many other countries we have destabalized. I prefer xbox over actually having to kill ppl in real life through civil war shit
monospaced:
Tell us more about how the laws of thermodynamics affect political outcomes. Or how paying a mortgage is like the myth of democratic representation.
and don't even try your "mono has a reading comprehension" steaming pile of bullshit, because that isn't the issuedeathboy:
lol. its funny what people latch too. never the real point. point being the myth of a representative democracy. Its not even a new concept. yet they attack the inconsequential shit they can identify with. xbox... and the word thermodynamics, not concept but the word
But mono for shits and giggles feel free to explain your mortgage is like a myth of democratic rep. im pretty smart but i have no idea what that is in regards too. its out of context of post, even of my knowledge of posts regarding me, so might need to explain, unless its for someone else is that some new cortez shit about free housing? to me of course is obvious that a mortgage is a free trade system of loaning wealth for interest
no myth involved in such a transaction... unless talking about ability to adjust interest rates and change assets values by central systems. than yes their is a on said value structures of real estate. I will say as being a saver and seeing the dollar destroyed through debt i hope powell sees through the QT raises interest rates and devalues assets of wealthy who has benefitted the most from the low interest rates.
but for some reason i think mono you have no idea of economy. hell if you did you see free markets are the best and have historically proven to be.
im pretty sure you are a guy who is smart enough to convince himself of knowing what he does not or that it not worth it. looks around and sees others not carin
why should i care to know. you find comfort in it. hell id be happy not knowing what i know. i just cant ignore reason. different types of people which is funny. i think it allows me to see where you come from and empathize, but you cant see where i come from. just no idea or comprehension
so how do you share perspectives when some have no ability to comprehend them and most likely never will? A question of philosophy. Im curious how you'd deal with such ppl if you had the power.
also i will say straight forward the response I was hoping to find was an argument supporting the idea of a representative democracy through incentivized action that I might miss to argue against my statement. hence debate and reason and what not. i think the myth is a republic exists. the idea of democracy is a slow system as any which is governed by basic physics and thermodynamics. individualism is the high point. equality/death is the equilbirum of entrophy in a state of inert uniformity. if you have something in response to those terms id like to hear it. if not just a attention
whore, a person scared of alt thought they don't understand that is offensive to their world view enough to feel the need to debase it at any measure necessary.
I also think sometimes ppl online pursue to insult or irrationally challenge ppl because they get attention a low self esteem person needs. high school shit
online allows adults to act like kids which they normally grow out of once they get out of the social school zone.
and my opinion mono is you are of that type. looking for some credence or purpose through low self esteem. but honestly that is what i think of you
maybe im wrong. maybe im right. say history proves correct im more than likely correct however that is of opinion. no 23 and me test or science for such shit
i really hope you check you check yourself before you wreck yourself dude- didn't read it once.
didn't read it twice.sarahfailin - ha. re-readin my type i could definitely do better... like hearing your voice on a recorder.deathboy
- but if i did write it all better, it would be much longer. take more time. to what aims? considering who I'm talking too... and do i really care.... not so muchdeathboy
