The thing we think with, where all the ideas are. But the Buddhists are referring to your "attention". Like a flashlight, you direct it at stuff. Sights, sounds, thoughts, etc. That's 2 quite different things. "Open your mind" is a different thing there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kromem@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children) Wooosh permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Faresh@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Invidious says it's geoblocked.

"What did you do during your trip to Egypt?" "We visited the pyramids." "You know, aliens may have built those." It can get old very fast. I'm certainly guilty of this and as someone with fairly nuanced interests that touch on common topics, am regularly asking myself if it's contextually appropriate to bring up my particular perspective in a discussion. You literally jumped in on a quotation of a movie in response to a screenshot of that movie to try and have a discussion of Buddhist principles.

"Wooosh" is a standard meme in reference to missing the point of a post or comment. There was an entire sub on Reddit about it.
