I've spent hundreds of hours of my life studying philosophy in text, and, of course, living my life... (nature)

[thinkin about it]

and last night I watched the BBC version of Planet Earth in Blue Ray, on mushrooms. It trumped everything. I'm incredibly thankful that these great people pooled the resources together to utilize modern technology to capture the utter beauty of our world. I'm something of a non-sentimentalist(OK, sociopath), and I was incredibly moved.

It was like a religious experience for the non-believer. I highly recommend it.

Tis' all.

Thanks for that. If one is going to have religious (or at least spiritual) experience, have it about something evidently real.

What or who was the mushrooms?

When one says that one has spent hundreds of hour with philosophy and then a tv show brought it all to near meaningless because of the aesthetics of nature, one can only wonder why anyone bothers to think. Remember when you die those mushrooms will be looking for you, and then many little critters will be killing each other over the mushrooms, and then it will all rot, but then its the nitrogen cycle, a beautiful cycle base on death and decay-I feel a religious experience coming on.

Spend your time on philosophy?
If you pay attention these folks who write philosophy never worked one day in their life-they theorize.
As a example look at my great leader Comrade Hussein who also never work one day in his life.
And then as person who like to follow orders you watch TV and tell us.
Try to study scientific method maybe the picture will be clear.

Mushrooms? Did I hear mushrooms? Psychedelic ones? They can give quit a religious experience...
I think, it was in a classic movie - It's called mescaline, brother. Matrix.
