It is interesting to read other HDF members posts. Many good points have been offered.
I see max's contribution to HDF that allow us ( me ) to compare-and-contrast various value systems and beliefs.
If max's view is na+ astika or it is not so I would like to better understand this. I'd like to understand the root meaning of the Cārvāka's atheistical POV, the origin, their core view. I'd like to see if there is one piece of the puzzle that may be missing that brings the nāstika to their conclusions - I think I can learn.
If the conversations are not condesending or jalpa, we can benefit by viewing nigrahasthāna¹ , if that is possible. What is this fancy word? It means to view anothers argument/position that is inconsistent, perhaps even controdictory in nature. To me, it would be a 'blind spot' in the logic of application and belief of the Cārvāka's.
I think I wish to be the student and learn, observe and probe. Yet if the conversation becomes vitaṇḍā¹ (frivolous argument ) , then it will bear no fruit and I will admit my genuine interest was stepped on and learning perhaps is not possible within this type of forum ( suggesting 1:1 conversation may be most appropros).
