besides this thread is not about the laziness of Buddhists so why are you bringing it up?



Wow, a soundbite directed at a strawman! I think that's a first from you, Joesus.

lucid dream,
You keep on insisting on the Almighty power of reason and logic without realizing that these are attributes of the left brain hemisphere, not of the total brain. Have You heard about a new type of logic -- fuzzy logic ? Complexity scientists say that the answer to all complex issues is both yes and no.
Life is not logical, it is paradoxical -- it is a Cosmic dance of polarities.

As to Buddhists and their presumed laziness... Whose opinion is this ? Of those who really studied, practiced and understand Buddhism? Of those who have wisdom?
Buddhist philosophy, cosmovision, values, etc., are totally different from those of the Western culture. In the first place, they have a very different perception of time -- not linear like ours, but cyclical. In the second place, they believe in reincarnation, in many lives. In the third place, their highest goal and fulfillment in life is attaining enlightenment and self-liberation.
Whereas in our Western culture we believe in one life -- this makes us stressed, desperate, living in a hurry. When one lives in a hurry, one loses clarity of vision and wisdom. In the West, we are still trying to figure out the meaning of life. We are caught in a vicious circle thinking that life is about producing more and consuming more.

A western wo/man is living on the periphery, whirling like a whirligig, going faster and faster, blinder and blinder.

you're assuming many things in this incorrect statement


yes, I actually know how to employ fuzzy logic and understand its mathematical basis, and I can safely say that you are misinterpreting and misunderstanding what fuzzy logic is and isn't. Look into Bayesian inference.



this is not the thread to discuss the laziness of Buddhists.

Do you see fuzzy logic used in entanglement processes? See it's relation to Venn Logic? Seen the relation to transpersonal psychology?

I have used it for cases where membership was ill-defined. My point was that fuzzy logic does not tell us anything new, nor does it explain anything. It is only a tool.

Joesus:
You're playing amateur psychologist and entangling yourself in Maya. When will you learn that your methods are transparent?

Btw, Joesus, are you a fan of Ramtha? I bet you are!

I would say, "Aristotle, you are dear to me, but dearer still is Plato and his greater truth."

By the way, I posted a piece of information about fuzzy logic on the thread: The Sages; The Science of Truth.

Cheers to all !
