>can't stop shoving food down his mouth for 2 seconds
Absolute state of Buddhists.

>>14596043
>listening to this fat fuck
If his "metaphysics" is anything like his "electromagnetism" then its drivel to impress tards

>>14596265
The virgin-side is a pathway to many abilities some would consider to be... unnatural.

>>14596265

>bonus: failed photographer who has become a laughing stock on /p/ for incessant gearfagging and shilling as multiple people
pic very much related

>>14596566
This dude is legit retarded for making an alt account with a name that can easily be traced back to him.

>>14596577
>incessant gearfagging
lmao the same person calling us 'hylics' is the person spending thousands on luxury cameras, microphones and iMacs.

What always amazes me is not that people like this exist, but that they manage to amass a decent-sized, dedicated following. What sort of a person do you have to be to actually put a mongoloid like Ken on a pedestal?

>>14596617
This.

It actually makes you think. People are retarded.

>>14596577
he's also a laughing stock on /sci/ with his absurd 'reality is magnets n shit' theory (which he then changed to 'reality is electricity' because he plagiarized another youtube channel's videos).

I am pretty sure the same person is spamming him in multiple boards from time to time. That or he posts here himself.

>>14596617
High verbal iq + a learning difficulty like ADHD or late diagnosis dyslexia that hampered academic success. They feel naturally superior for being able to talk rings around normies, but inferior for having nothing to show for it. They solution for this tension is picking some topic that other functional intelligent people have had success in and trying to knock down the foundations of their chosen field, to invalidate it at the most basic level.

>"You may have had success in this field but so what your whole field is a lie"

>>14596636
>That or he posts here himself.
I mean who else would post their ‘latest’ material on this board if not the person who made the document itself? This PDF was literally released on the same day. Considering this person’s history and mental state, there is a good chance it’s him.

>>14596043
Add it to the list of retroactively refuted texts

>>14596043
>Put simply I should state that the paraphrasable core of Buddhism is: Every Being possesses a deathless essence (Attan)
This retard is still on about this already refuted nonsense? The Pali Canon (which he claims to abide by) denies an eternal essence of the self every second sutta.

The Buddha was even inquired directly on this very subject.
>Then the wanderer Vacchagotta went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, exchanged courteous greetings with him. After an exchange of friendly greetings & courtesies, he sat to one side. As he was sitting there he asked the Blessed One: "Now then, Venerable Gotama, is there a self?" When this was said, the Blessed One was silent. "Then is there no self?" A second time, the Blessed One was silent. Then Vacchagotta the wanderer got up from his seat and left. Then, not long after Vacchagotta the wanderer had left, Ven. Ananda said to the Blessed One, "Why, lord, did the Blessed One not answer when asked a question by Vacchagotta the wanderer?" "Ananda, if I — being asked by Vacchagotta the wanderer if there is a self — were to answer that there is a self, that would be conforming with those brahmans & contemplatives who are exponents of eternalism [the view that there is an eternal, unchanging soul]. If I — being asked by Vacchagotta the wanderer if there is no self — were to answer that there is no self, that would be conforming with those brahmans & contemplatives who are exponents of annihilationism [the view that death is the annihilation of consciousness]. If I — being asked by Vacchagotta the wanderer if there is a self — were to answer that there is a self, would that be in keeping with the arising of knowledge that all phenomena are not-self?" "No, lord." "And if I — being asked by Vacchagotta the wanderer if there is no self — were to answer that there is no self, the bewildered Vacchagotta would become even more bewildered: 'Does the self I used to have now not exist?'" -SN 44.10

How the hell does this go over his head? There is literally no point reading his 'document' if he gets basic knowledge wrong at the very start.

as /lit/ as can be

>>14596636
Can any of you expand on electromagnetism please, genuinely curious

>>14596330
Even Buddha himself ate meat. My favorite part thing about reading Zen '''Masters''' is that they all love calling out hypocrisy while admitting to their own like it was nothing. Funny guys.

>your desires are bad
>you shouldn't have any desires
>free yourself from wanting
>oh me? I have my desires under control
>they're the good desires

>>14596873
>being fat
Fat people should keep it to themselves

>>14596874
>expand on electromagnetism in a few sentences
Read a textbook.

what were buddhas arguments against women taking asceticism

>>14596043
>the greatest living metaphysicist
This is like being the fastest downie in the retard olympics.

>>14596979
Cant you say why he is wrong then?

>>14596661
You've just described 99% of /lit/, yours truly included

>>14596456
I think he said he knows Romanized Sanskrit.

>>14596566
How do you know that's him? I don't know about tumbler, so pardon me if I'm being retarded.
