So I'm currently reading The Raw Shark Texts by Steve Hall, and various aspects of its storyline have made me think quite a bit. I suggest any of you other deep thinkers to give this book a read, especially if you're into authors like Chuck Palahniuk and such. Anyway, there was a certain passage in the book that struck me quite profoundly...I was trying to find it on the internet, but instead I found a video version of it on youtube, and narrated by Tilda Swinton no less! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h73f3LWZALE It opens up some very interesting ideas. Do you think that ideas, concepts, images, and emotions have some sort of existence beyond the human mind? Are they truly non-physical entities, or something else? Honestly I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I've been wanting to discuss it with some people because I find it very interesting, and it's something I've thought about before even reading the book.
