At this moment I'm happy, so I can only assume it'll last forever.

 And I lived happily ever after, 'til the end of my days.

I'm not ashamed that I'm ashamed

Your opinion matters not.

I proved the Riemann Hypothesis using the Chewbacca Defense

 Pi is irrational. i is fake. Infinite primes are unreachable. It does not make sense! So ask yourselves, does  it make sense? I want my million dollars.

I don't show too much emotion about having flat affect

 That doesn't mean I don't have it though. 

I don't care too much what people think, but I'm obsessed with being good

 Actually I'm describing my friend Brian, but I'd like to be like that.

When I'm being myself, I never say, "I'm being myself." I find it pretentious at that point.

 So right now I am not being myself.

Most people think they're better than most people

 However, they are equal to most people.

I am impatient with people who are impatient with impatience

 So I must be alone.

Perhaps if we did less to help the environment, we would help the environment

Or maybe I'm just being obnoxious. But it seems we got into this mess by doing too much.

Correlation is correlated with having a causal link much of the time.

 So correlation suggests causation even if it doesn't imply it. And anyway, causation is statistical itself, so it's all the same. 

Meditation helps the environment, because you're perching like an animal

 Not doing much is good for the environment. At the very least, it's not bad for it.

The word nonsense makes sense

 So therefore it is nonsense.

The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end

The word nonsense is nonsense

I have certitude that I am good at this moment. However, I am also haunted by the fact that I was good in the past too.

 And why should that haunt me? Perhaps because I spent so much time back then trying to be something I wasn't. Not good. 

I don't agree with you that you don't agree with me that I don't agree with you

 We're just projecting 100% of the time. 

You're right about one thing: we're not good for each other.

I reject your rejection, but I do it affably.

 I don't go anywhere near you. But I still love you. And that's a fair compromise.

In disagreeing with me about everything, you've helped me. And you would say you've neither disagreed nor helped.

 So therein lies the help and disagreement. 

Jesus was a comedian. A controversial one, like Lenny Bruce.

 It was funny because it was True. George Carlin's two commandment version of the Ten Commandments is actually just like Jesus'. So there.

Love integrity with all your heart, and don't be a dick

 My paraphrase of Jesus' two commandments.

Your ideas and insights don't matter as much as the Golden Rule: don't be a dick

 Don't make the Golden Rule into an impossible ideal. It's supposed to make things simpler.

However much I feel you've invalidated me, I'm wrong, because it's actually worse than that.

If you're not more human than human then you're not human.

I purposely have low confidence so that you don't put me on a pedestal

 Unless you're the type who likes low confidence. Then I have lots of confidence. I'm in the zone then. Hopefully no one reads this.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe neither of us are to blame for anything

 It's just illness.

You are responsible for other people's projections, but so are they

 You are their mirror, so don't let them break it.  Much obliged, other people are responsible for your projections too. They shouldn't let you break your hand.

Hatred is a trip

 A bad one, mostly.

What's useful to the universe is true.

 Or rather, a comment that doesn't help isn't true. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my mind.

 Well not really, but inside my mind he is. 

If I don't know how you'd respond to my arguments, I can assume you'd agree with at least some of them.

 So I can let it go. 

If I used to be worse than other people, and I can never make up for it, what chance does that give me?

 The only possible option if I am to believe you is eternal pitch black despair. Is that what you want? Do you really think I deserve that?

You say there's nothing good about my past. If that's so, I don't need to care about it. It's a useless act to have regret about it.

 Why care about something where nothing was good? No light at all? 

Zen is a very good tool, but it is not flawless. Even the most Zen people make mistakes, even DUE to their Zen, rather than despite it.

 Zen is still great, but like all tools, it's limited. That's the nature of all things. 

I need to not seem needy.

 I thought of this quote in a dream. It seems to make sense though.

I hate myself, but that's ok because I don't care what people think

 I'm a person too, ya know.

Dwelling on my mistakes is a mistake

 I should stop. 

Zen doesn't make you kinder

 That's a relief for me, because after doing Zen for 15 years I'm no kinder.  And if you're wondering, I was just this honest before I did Zen.

God is the circle. Logic is the line. Irrational beliefs are the number pi

 And yet circles and lines exist.

No circle has a radius. Pi doesn't exist

 It was the radius that was the problem. There are perfect circles but the segment we so lovingly call a radius is never thin enough to touch the infinitely thinly curved circle. You can't square a circle. 

Feeling like you're damned is proof that you believe

 So if belief implies salvation, at least you're wrong.

If I ask Jesus' forgiveness for not believing, it first assumes I believe

 Therefore the premise that I don't believe is faulty to begin with, so I have from the very start had eternal salvation. 

Jesus forgives me for not believing in him

 He's a pretty forgiving guy. I know not what I do.  If I knew, I'd believe in him.

Forgive me Jesus, for not believing in you

 I know not what I do.

I have a love-hate relationship with paradoxes

I don't feel selfish for not feeling selfish

 I don't feel selfish for not feeling selfish for not feeling selfish for not feeling selfish...

I'm not ashamed that I'm not ashamed

 I'm not ashamed that I'm not ashamed that I'm not ashamed  that I'm not ashamed that I'm not ashamed that I'm not ashamed that I'm not ashamed that I'm not ashamed...

You deny that you deny that

 You deny that you deny that you deny that you deny that you deny that you deny that you deny that you deny...

I have something in common with my enemies: we both think we're the good guy

I'm not a selfless hero, but that doesn't mean I'm selfish

 I'm just me.

I won't act tough... but I don't have to feel weak.

I won't be a victim, but I don't have to save you.

I won't call myself the best, but I don't have to say I've failed.

I don't entertain shame, or the idea of shame

 Anymore, anyway.

Being totally selfish, evil, or useless would be an impressive feat. As impressive as being the messiah

 None of us are any of those things in any sense.

Feeling worthless is worthless, but that doesn't mean you are worthless

 You are worthwhile.

Don't for an instant doubt your self-worth

 That type of inventory won't help. Even if you've spent most of your time doing just that, still, don't for an instant believe it.

Can I realize the beauty of my self-obsession?

 My projections are beautiful, says the mirror.

I prefer realizing over being realized

 So nothing ever sticks.

I obsess about how to forget you

 One extra layer of abstraction.

Set your lucid dream intention for around the time you plan to wake up

 You'll just wake up in a different way.

You know that you don't know, but you don't know the way in which you don't know

 You know this, but you don't know in what way this is true. If you did, you'd confess as much.

Why are you so enigmatic? It's a mystery

 Wrapped in an enigma.

It's good to fear our own power.

 Otherwise we'd abuse it.

This sentence is nonsense.

 My previous sentence was nonsense.

Giving mercy to the merciful is justice.

I'm bullshitting you right now

 The reason I'm bullshitting you is because I'm questioning the inviolable laws of noncontradiction and identity.

"This statement is a lie" is contradictory, meaning it is false, which is true, which is true

 And no matter how many more iterations you do, the original statement is false

""""True=false"=false"=true"=true"=true=true

 True therefore = true. 

""There's sense in nonsense" is nonsense" is a sensible statement.

Non-sequitur

The root of a root vegetable is another root vegetable

Radishes are the "1's" of radicals.

My student asked me, "Is today opposite day?" I said, "Good question."

"Is the sentence I'm currently uttering a good question?"

Sometimes I say "non-sequitur" randomly, for no reason. It is a non-sequitur

So does it follow or doesn't it? 

"Sometimes you eat the bar, and much obliged, sometimes the bar, well, he eats you"

 Far from the Far East.

You tore down my every belief and I tore down yours. Now the two sides are free of bias.

 I don't know if you noticed though.

Why philosophize? Excellent question

The just deserve justice. So do the unjust.

Have mercy on the overly merciful. That'll help them heal.

Once I've done penance, I'm forgiven

Let there be a truce about thinking the other is war-like

Let this be a broken escalator

 "Escalator temporarily stairs."- Mitch Hedberg

Once I've exacted vengeance, I forgive you

 Forgive us our sins.

Justice is balance, but there's never absolute balance

 You can only approach 1.

An eye for an eye will make the whole world have an average of one eye a piece

We'd learn after the first one.

I will never comprehend the depths of your philosophy, because your philosophy does not make sense

If Chewbacca can live on Endor, you must acquit

If someone were even a little enlightened, they'd just look down on those who weren't

 It's all nonsense.

Abandon all hope, all ye who don't believe in hope

 It's an ill-advised path, according to Dante. At least if you want to be happy.

Without logic and math you can't know anything about anything in any sense of the word

 I agree with Plato and Aristotle. One addendum: I'd bet you know more logic than you realize.

99% messed up does not equal 100%

 I still have a chance.

Your contempt for me was good for one thing: Teaching me to avoid you.

Your denying that you have contempt for me was also good for one thing: Teaching me to avoid you. 

If you achieve complete balance, the world around you will fall apart

 It's happened before.

Meat eating is cruel to animals, and veganism is cruel to people

I'm a vegetarian, so I know.

If you gain salvation, you'll see unbelievers as having eternal damnation

 If you're in harmony with the Tao, your better half will have infinite sorrow.
