Just let it happen naturally, as you're getting to know each other. If you're truly the sane one, they'll eventually see that you're sane and explaining your family history won't be as daunting anymore.

No, I've never had faith in politics... this whole mess just convinces me I've been right not to.

Very interesting, I can see how that could become like a thorn in the brain. But I can also imagine how an original thought might require an unusual and/or surprising set of circumstances that might cause you to forget Tim Allen's theory just long enough for the thought to occur to you independently... like one of those aha or eureka moments. Also, I'm not sure about the connection you make here to a deity... there are plenty of things firmly planted in our memories, doesn't mean everyone and everything that planted them are gods.

I'm not sure about the relationship between thought and the materials around us, but I do know that every single thought had to have been thought a first time by someone.

Well, every single thought had to have been thought a first time by someone, no?

Thanks for explaining. I figured it was something like that, but I'm Canadian so I wasn't sure.

[–] ehpolitical@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Lol, in that case, I'm not gonna ask.

Yes, I'd say our thoughts can be distinct from each other... conversely, I can't see how all our thoughts can be mere variations of one original thought when we're obviously capable of thinking about many unrelated things.

Yes, I'd say memories are thoughts when we actively remember, and the experiences they stem from are the origins of those thoughts... but original only to us, not original in nature... unless we've somehow had an entirely unique experience.

No, we don't need to express ourselves vocally in order to be having thoughts... hence, private thoughts.

Consider that every thought had to have been thought for a first time by someone. And thoughts and emotions are entirely different things, so that doesn't work. Interesting though, what you said about our first thoughts being original... that hadn't occurred to me, need to think about that one.

Not true... every thought had to have been thought for a first time by someone, just not by us (it seems).

Was he somehow forced to include the AG?

I've never had faith in politics, this isn't helping.
