a splinter stuck in my brain | ADHD Information
My head hurts! Is there a reason you're using crayons for everything? Try gel pens. They don't loose their point. I hate when crayons loose their point.I agreed with the first sentense. In the second sentense you said, "If everything is all, and reason is everything, then reason = all too because reason is inclusive of everything."
Where did you get that reason is everything? "Everything" is not part of the definition of reason. And where did you get that reason is inclusive of everything?
So I don't see any correlation between reason and all or reason and everything.
(wow, I think I made just about as much sense as you , pass the crayons!)
this is just going to spill out of my head. i dont know why or how i started to think of this, but now i cant stop and im falling into my own confusing thoughts. they arent very stable, not meaning i have crazy thoughts, but that they lack cohesivness and i cant organize them in a sensible way. i need insight from other perspectives. please help
"There is a reason for everything"
Reason: n. The basis or motive for an action, decision, or conviction. An underlying fact or cause that provides logical sense for a premise or occurrence.
Everything: pron. All things or all of a group of things.
if everything is all, then that means everything sees no boundries and is infinite. if everything is all, and reason is everything, then reason=all too because reason is inclusive of everything. and since reason=everything, then reason is infinite as well. so this means:
[reason=everything]=[everything=everything]
but thats only if everything=all. "everything" is an Indefinite Pronoun. an indef pronoun conveys the idea of: any, all, none, or some. reason could=all if everything=all or any. but theres a chance that reason might not=everything, if everything meant some or none. in this case, reason does not always=everything. which would mean that there might not be a reason for everything or there is no reason for everything or there is no reason for none (nothing) or there is reason for nothing.
ok, im going to the store to buy some new crayons so i can draw this out
dern!....gonna' use up a complete set of 128 Crayolas on this one!OMG,.. I'm scared.... I understood that
gonna come back and read it when I'm on meds.. maybe I can explain why I understood that!!! LOL
so far I get it that reason and everything are connected... If there is a reason for everything, then reason would encompass everything...
Unless of course, sometimes things happen without a reason, which would invalidate the presupposition that there is a reason for everything. But a reason for some things. Things do happen for a reason, but I also believe that some things just happen..
hmm... so reason does not always encompass all.
oh, and BTW, don't be too quick on passing the crayons,, people get college degrees discussing stuff JUST LIKE THIS!! Lets start passing around those bachelor's degrees instead

Reason is a subset of ALL, which simply implies some of ALL, XOR, NOT the sum of ALL. IF>THEN order=no creation! Chaos derives its own pattern of order out of itself through simple deterministic values of non linear expressions!
Bring on the crayons!!
Lost,
You pulled me in..help!!. I can't let it go!
I see how something can be considered all because something is a part of everything, and everything is all.
But nothing is not all or even a subset of all.
And I don't believe that there is always a reason for everything.
Will you tell me again why you think reason is everything and how you concluded reason is all?
(Did you pick me up some sparkely crayons?) 
Reincarnated aristotle Lost? Wow - don't pin that big one on me! LOL!! At least - hold the hemlock ok??
I just have a - well I hate to say unique let's say different view of things. A lot of us do - but I seem to have found a gift for getting the view out in words that affect people which is great.
Most of the deep thinking I've seen has come from people who haven't gotten so old that they are jaded. Also - it helps to have ideas and not be stuck with that old thing of "can't be right - the books say so". When someone hasn't seen descartes, kant, or any of the other philosophers they still come up with classic questions just like you did.
Now when you read the classic philosophers (highly recommend it) - you'll say "wow - I thought the same thing yesterday!". Deep.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
sorry, that size is a little extreme, but i really did laugh that hard and really loud too.
ok...everything is all. all is something, everything, and nothing. reason is one of those things. so reason=everything.
- everything=everything but can reason=reason?
there is a reason for everything/all that takes place within time. i've already concluded that reason=all. so when reason produces something, that something is also 'all'/also reason. so reason produces reason?
-the series of reason leading to everything is like an ongoing chemical reaction:
......reason---> everything---> reason---> everything.....
so i wonder now, what came first, reason or everything? will we ever see the final reason or the true everything? is there gonna be some dude with a sign that says, "hey i'm reason, you've reached the end of everything."
going back to the store to pick up some new crayons, but this time i'll get the glittery ones.

umm how about bachelor's degrees created out of crayons??? no wait!! while were being so artistic with crayons, lets make them doctorates!! hee hee...
Damn - I'm going to have to go voodoo up Descartes on this one!!
This is classic philosophy 101 kids! It's a brain burner if you roll it around like chewing gum in the noggin. Same level as "how do I know that I exist?". Deep thoughts.
To give balance to such thoughts you have to define whether it is reason as in a conscious higher-power construction for a given purpose? Or as in reason - our mind being able to grasp any concept with enough information. That's a double-whammy of philosophy and theology - two, two - two thoughts in one!
If it's a higher-power thing - then what would be the purpose of all the dead star-systems we've seen? Do they keep the pendulum swinging for physic's sake or were they test projects that didn't make the grade? What about dying ethiopian babies? Is there a hidden purpose that we aren't meant to know - or just that it's all free will. Oh, my brain is pounding now.
Cool to ponder higher thoughts. It keeps the brain all muscly. Or is it mushy?
I tend to call it "fryed"
heya glenw you thought my little piece was a brain burner? cool. that just proves that my 22 year old brain does indeed possess superintelligence that is beyond natural explanation. thanks dude. considering the fact that over these past months, you appear to resemble a reincarnated aristotle to me. so you made my freakin day just now. thanks dude.. now shoo while i play with my barbies.
