...not a very helpful answer.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

A lot of water is not a balanced amount of water, but if you take a lot of water and mix it with none of anti-water, you have a balanced amount of total liquid.
This is officially the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Ever.

In post 1740, Shaziro wrote:I'm a Christian, I can easily conceive of worlds I'm not in and people talking about them. You're no god, though, you're a kid in Singapore with some serious issues that need resolving by somebody interested in helping you rather than poking holes in your ideas because of how annoying you are with them elsewhere on the thread, and who won't get even more annoyed at your attempts at insults and then threats to get them to go away when you realize you're wrong. You've got two options when talking about worlds that are not the ones in which your audience lives in. Explain them in the best possible way using terminology and examples from their world, such as "Land of Milk and Honey", "Paradise", and "Perfect Afterlife"...or just say "I can't explain it, you have to take it on faith". First one works a lot better. You're trying to take words from actual reality and then change them to mean whatever you want, while expecting to keep the full weight (if not more weight than) their real world meaning.
Oh, you're a Christian. That explains a lot.

Well, I can conceive of worlds I'm not in, but I don't have an interest in doing anything in those putrid worlds(other than maybe reforming them). I don't want or need to be helped. I have no issues, no matter how much your not-a-psychiatrist-self tells me I do. I have never "realized I am wrong". I assure you this as an objective truth - thus your statement is incorrect. I choose the second option.
You have more religious dogmatism than someone who's actually religious lol

What you're expecting acc not to be condescendingly jerkish?

Anyway, I find your capitalization of "Wonderland" to be interesting, as if it's a real place you've established, even though you kind of imply it's this weird alternate dimension thing that's in your head.

But if this is some sort of hidden ironic joke, I'd be joyful.

It's not an insult. I merely said it explained a lot about Shaziro's behavior.

When will people learn that the two are not mutually exclusive? Well, I'm certainly not a comedian.

It's too bad none of these words mean anything to us in the real world because you apparently have different definitions for everything in your world than we do here in the real world.

"Pleasant symmetry" and that leaves plenty of room for interpretation even in our language.

Your statement doesn't need arguments to be debunked.

It's self-evident, but you may not be able to see it due to your blindness.

Because they can't be mutually exclusive?

I mean, it's "real" in the sense that it's in the neurons moving around your brain, but it doesn't have any effect on anyone but you. I don't see why you think it's important at all.

Given that you used "Balance" to mean something only tangentially related to it's real meaning, no, we don't.

Perhaps you should change your definitions to fit mine. After all, we already know that my world is perfect while yours is not.
