There are obvious forms of self-expression, such as writing, painting, engaging in sexual activity, and dancing. Can you think of some less obvious ones? And, for you, what is your favorite vehicle for self-expression and why?

My favorite is dancing because that is when I feel most free. I feel limited when writing because of the words available to me. With painting, I feel limited by the colors.

I realize that with dance, my own ability can be limiting, but that is true for other forms as well.

Just a hypothetical question my friends and I like to bounce around.

If someone offered you $5 million to run over a baby at 100mph...would you do it?

Why or Why Not?!

There was a well known ancient philosopher who said something along the lines of the world being made up of opposites, and in order to experience good you must also experience bad, like being rich and poor.
Does anyone know which philosopher believed that?

I think it's to love and be loved.

This is a question I have been asked recently, and in all honesty I'm not really sure, so I thought I'd throw it out for some input on what you think.
We obviously reject the notion of God based on reason, and empirical scientific data failing to provide us with any proof.

Now when it comes to us as physical human beings we can explain things like attraction, and natural sexual instincts.
But what is love? I and many atheists I know would declare ourselves either in love, or to have been in love at some point. So how do we account for our "belief" in a concept which has no real proof?
The accusation is that love is just a feeling, or a notion, upon which I should not base any sensible thought or action when it can't be proved.
Part of the argument is that what happens when we are in love can be recreated through endorphins/serotonin, even chocolate! If it's just a chemical reaction shouldn't we dismiss love in a similar way to we dismiss faith?

Your ideas will be appreciated..

Or a progressive invention?

1) We are the "sum of our experiences".

2) Memory is constantly falsified and invented, both in response to *internal* emotion/self-preservation, and in response to *external* stimuli.

Therefore, how is "Self" determined or determinable?
What, in your opinion, are the predominant factors?
