    As it should be!

    Should philosophy be easy to understand?

    I think being unintelligible would be a much quicker suicide than being difficult to understand. I can't say whether it should or should not be easy to understand, but I believe all philosophy is capable of being easily understood (depending on how "ease" and "understand" are being employed).

    [INFJ] thoughts on ego death?

    *Posits a purely subjective standard for psychology, then proceeds to go on an objective styled monologue to prop up their own views.* Uh huh....whatever you say must be true, I guess.

    True. I find my personality to be different online than it is in my daily life. Being online in a text based medium is very different than in person reading body language and reading emotions more directly. Online, my scholarly side takes forefront, whereas in daily life I never bring it up...

    Irrelevance. I thought about removing my MBTI as well, but it's a required field and rather than putting something in its place I just left it. Personality theory is interesting, but I take it with a much larger grain of salt and tend to avoid making any strong statements one way or another in...

    [INFJ] thoughts on ego death?

    @biwaly It sounds like you are conflating Freud's concept of the 'ego' with the 'id'. Also suggesting what is or is not necessary is contradictory to perceiving reality as it is.

    [INFJ] thoughts on ego death?

    Yeah, something like that can be extremely enlightening and can really expand one's mind to what it's capable of, but it's still a temporary experience. It may just be me quibbling over the term and its definition though. I like the term "ego loss" though. I think that might be a better term as...
