She's pretty great. Only reason I left that shithole of a board /r9k/ and started browsing here.

She's cute but she's also pretty sharp, much sharper than I gave her credit for. I understand her a little better now, which is very nice.

Apologies for the poor focused OP anons. Instead, I'll try and reintroduce the question:

Is there a connection between the mind and the body in a metaphysical sense? Or do the mind and body work separately and against one another?

I was just thinking that, there are times when you want your body to actually do something.

I have been very productive for the last four days, developing some kind of insomnia.

I desire to get some sleep, but perhaps my mind is working against my body.

Maybe there is a way to focus my mind and body so that sleeping will just come more naturally?

Stop looking at all electronic screens including tv, phone and computer, the blue light coming from the screen prevents your brain from producing melatonin and so it fucks up your sleep. Also dim the lights in the room or only have 1 or 2 on.

Philosophy just made me a more atheist agnostic which in turn made me more nihilistic.

Fuck philosophy, I'd be happier if I still could believe in God.

That's one of my favourite albums!

Divorce all thoughts of dualism from your mind. There is no mind/body disconnect, they are entwined, all meat and instinct driven by neurochemicals. Sentience is a curse that can only be cured by a collective agreement between humans to end future suffering by outlawing procreation.

What did God give you that you cannot give yourself?
