They say they are not interested in reading something that is fake. Have they no imagination at all? I find that these people are perfectly capable of enjoying movies and television programs, so? And really, even non-fiction is told from anothers point of view. What makes it so much more "real"? Cannot any truth be found in made up stories? So whats the big deal?

Will mankind always be a war?

I just had a thought that mankind could be considered socially evolved if we found a permanent alternative to war. I mean, if two nations are disputing the rights to some land or resource, why should the ability to kill and destroy decide the winner? There has to be a better way. I'm not smart enough to think of what that might be right now, but someone must be.

Do you think we have a "self" lying underneath these perceptions and feelings?

Philosopher Hume pointed out that we have no underlying ‘personal identity’ beneath or behind these perceptions and feelings which come and go.

Do you agree that when you look within yourself you do not observe a “self” in addition to the perceptions and feelings that you observe within yourself?

If you agree that you do not observe your “self” in this way, should you conclude (with Hume) that you do not have an underlying ‘personal identity’ but that you are simply the “stream” of perceptions and feelings that you observe within yourself?
