  1. I think shrooms, LSD, weed and any other hallucinogenic mind expanding drugs should be legalized. It would be so conductive towards a more peaceful and wise population.
  2. Yeah... philosophy gave birth to science. If you think philosophically, you'll undoubtedly find a hypothesis. After you find a hypothesis, all you have to do is apply it to a scientific method and research it to come to a conclusion. It's just the lack of methodology in philosophy that makes it inferior to science. Philosophy is just thinking outside of the box, science is thinking outside of the box and carrying out experiments to validate said thought.
  3. You have to think though, the fact that we aren't going to live forever doesn't always make us sad. Only on a rare occasion when I think about death do I become sad because of it, but then I get over it because it's just a natural part of life. If we were immortal we'd still feel emotion, if anything we'd be more prone to feeling sad because of our prolonged life. Say the average person becomes sad once a month over something completely unrelated to the thought of death. The immortal person will have been sad the same amount of times in the first 90 years of his life, as the normal person dies the immortal one continues to be sad once a month. I kind of accept death, I think it would be insane being immortal. If I had the choice I wouldn't. The thought of being alive forever, outliving all the friends you ever make, then meeting new ones only to have them die on you again. You'd be very wise and articulate no doubt about it, but all your wisdom would only be applicable in relation to this Earth. If the whole human race was immortal then it wouldn't be very special at all, in which case we'd take it for granted and get sad about random shit anyways, just because we're human beings and our brains are controlled by chemistry, and happiness is really just dopamine being released into our brain. Just because we're immortal doesn't mean we're immune to having a low dose of dopamine on the rare occasion.
