Why don't you return to your country?

First time visiting this post and this made me response, even as a philosophical retard.

Hwhites mutts and Europeans indeed have it too good. Even in a place of rationality they can't even reflect upon how and why it is possible that they can sit here and mentally jerk off.

>>5774

spics are the worst. More so than niggers and kikes I believe. Hyper sexualized and lazy. That's why I can't think of any philosopher who came from that shithole.

Nihilism is the foundation of Conservatism

by Brett Stevens

Pity the poor conservatives. Historically, we are those who refused to join the Revolution and instead held that we should preserve what was best about the past and require that “new” ideas be tested before we adopted them. Not like anyone has listened to that of course.

Better than science, this is the past as it happened. It has zero conjectural component, including the idea that what can be reproduced in the lab will somehow occur in life. In 1789, as during the signing of the Magna Carta and the various peasant revolts, society split into two. One side took the “new” idea of equality of all people, which basically means do whatever you want short of murder, rape and theft, and the latter held to the idea that social order was necessary. Hierarchy was more important than individualism, in that view.

Over time the idea of do-whatever-you-want has proven, time and again, to be more popular. It is easier for the mind to comprehend and does not entangle it in any of the troubling details of reality. As a pure thought alone, removed from all else, it comforts us. Each person is important. No person must suffer for social standards, cultural values or something as arcane as identity. We are all one, because we are each the same. You can imagine zombies coming over the hill chanting that, sustained by the sense of being important by avoiding the twin extremes of unimportance and having actually achieved something. If we measure importance by achievement, some will win and the rest lose, but if we go egalitarian/altruistic, everyone wins some importance even if it is paltry and insignificant because everyone else has it. The human mind has not yet evolved to think as many steps forward as it requires to understand this.

In contrast to this stands the conservative idea. Composed of two parts, its first prong is consequentialism or the idea that “new” ideas should be tested and their actual results in physical reality found to be good, no matter how long it takesPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm an expat and my experience is less one-sided.

I'm quite wary of immigrants from my country. I'm not the only one. Most of the people in our expat community know this.

There are two sides of the coin:

On one hand, my people are the best. They can help greatly. The level of philosophical alignment is much higher than with people of other nations.

And here comes the problem: They know you too well. They know your weak points. They know how to scam you. They know the amount of abuse that you'll swallow.

This is very similar to doing business with relatives. Generally, they might be close people, but the end result is often disastrous.

It's hard for me to reason about conservatives as I have yet to see one.

Actions of most of the adepts of political ideologies are very different from what they preach.

Same with conservatives. Those who call themselves conservatives mostly try to conserve their power, wealth, authority and part of their backyard. They jump on any untested (or tested and found poisonous) novelty as long as it conserves and strengthens their main values (power, wealth).

I don't know anything about them, but counter-culture in general a shit, and I think you're basically right.

I love Watts though. I don't care for his mysticism, but I love his lectures on Eastern thought and existential therapy.

A good idea that was ultimately half-assed. Probably half-assing it was the rational level of investment, but philosophy could have benefited from some proper translations of Eastern ideas.

EVER THOUGHT OF A BUMP

what about the view that women are incapable of rational self-reflection?

>>1821

>coming up a philosophy that is unique and different is more important than coming up with one that is true, precise and based on sound logic.

I would rather have someone who is boring and deduced that 2+2=4 then someone who is unique and has deduced that 2+2=5.

>>5725

It depends on the reason for such infirmity, and its scale - never mind relevance.

Say, entropy, or chaos, makes all our actions 'unreliable'. Be it but a memory, you can't recreate it. What's the self that is never the same due to this? What's the self that struggles with this?

Women are incapable of seeing themselves in a societal context. It's a male domain, both spiritually and physically. Now, some women have been noted to play this game well enough. Notably queens and some courtesans. Philosophically, women are as distinct from man as man is from God. They are more material. This doesn't make them evil, it makes them limited. Hence the command for them; Wives, obey your husbands as you obey the Lord.

You went and niggered again. What are vaccines for other than cheating disease?

>>5829

Hate to burst your bubble, but there are more than just the vaccine being introduced to the body, including the preservative and specific batch of vaccine with all its variables as well. It's not so cut and dry.

>>5828

>weak little faggots

Nigger otherwise healthy people died from stupid shit like contaminated water, Ergotism, minor injuries that became infected/gangrenous, etc for thousands of years. Not dying of something stupid before modern medicine was 80% dumb luck and maybe 20% physical fitness. You don't "just like have good genes" and pull through anything the world throws at you. A significant chunk of the people posting here - or in fact the people in any group - would be dead if not for modern medicine.

it is respectable as the sole ancient philosophy that recognised the value of freedom

>>4815

To the extent possible, yes.

written "philosophy" is nothing but highly defined opinions.

Is FakeApp morally bad if you put celebrity faces over pornstars?

they're not, that's like saying "no offense, but your mother is a whore"

Emotion is the primal root of all human action. Action cannot come from pure logic alone. We require drive.

>>5759

>Emotion is the primal root of all human action.

I would argue that emotion is the primal root of all animal action (which humans also are, physically). The higher logic is what is actually Human.

>>5560

>>5562

From a cursory glance, /christian/ is a multi-denominational board, so bear in mind the approach to religion between one poster and the next can be as different as between a Jew and a Muslim. :^)

For example, Catholics have for centuries spent much effort intellectualizing their beliefs and even lean certain philosophical points heavily on classical Greek and Hellenistic schools. As an example, the entry from the Catholic encyclopedia on reason: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12673b.htm

Even newer denominations have complained about a "dumbing down" of beliefs, ie. churches focusing solely on emotional appeals to garner belief (https://ethanrenoe.com/2017/12/06/the-dumbing-down-of-christianity/). Note that in the comment section, however, not one mention is made of Thomas Aquinas or St. Augustine, two of the most influential Christian philosophers.

All in all, if you want your logical and philosophically literate conversation with a Christian, I'd wager you'd have a better discussion with a priest with a graduate degree rather than the average churchgoer or even the average evangelist, who do not have to extensively study the logic and philosophy of their beliefs, if at all.

>>5760

What drives men to think, but emotion?

>>5764

Lower animals also think due the drive of emotion. But their thinking is of a lower order.

For example, some dogs experience anxiety (aka. fear) during thunderstorms, fireworks, or other loud events, driving them to attempt to escape the situation. Humans who have intense phobias can perform similar actions, but humans have also created alternate methods for dealing with such situations due to their more extensive and deeper thinking about the root of their emotional response. One of these alternate methods is the taking of anxiolytic drugs created by other humans - drugs which are even now prescribed by vets to be given to anxious dogs, with similar sucessful emotion modification.

Please do not mistake these statements as me claiming that emotions are bad in humans because they come from a place shared by all physical creatures. Emotions are inspirational, but it is the way that Man thinks about them that makes the difference.

>>2999

I saw it. I am not such a fan of the idea. History and philosophy are too distinct imo, and the humanities are far too broad. I would prefer if they stayed separate but had a concurrent userbase.
