Which is a more useful ethical axiom: the categorical imperative or the non-aggression principle?

>>556711543
how old are you?

>>556713491
From quickly reading the wiki articales the categorical imperative seems more useful, because its application can be used to achieve things by justifying taking certain actions in the first place.

However, "useful ethics" is ill defined in my opinion.

Also I don't think that one necessarily excludes the other, because these concepts rely on an individual's perception and intention of his own actions.

I saved your feel pic, so I'll give you a feel pic in return.
Also, why do you say you could be considered a genius?

>>556714574
In general, how do you notice you're better or worse than somebody or anybody else in the first place?
You compare. I noticed from talking to other people. Intelligence is by no means 1 dimensional, one who takes great pleasure in sailing might be equally intelligent as one who takes great pleasure in solving mathematical problems, for in my opinion intelligence is acceptance and appreciation for what can be found in the interior and exterior world.

While I do study physics (and compared to others fairly easy at that), I don't think my strengths lie in the mathematical areas, I think my strengths lie in observation, perception and most of all self reflection. When I talk to others there's always a point where that person can no longer follow through or keep up with how far reaching my self observation is. I think I'm a genius in that regard.

>>556711543

Also lifestyle choices is kinda vague. I try to better myself and gain as much self control as I can. I work out, meditate, study. I take cold showers and eat healthy, I waige and try to do what I consider right.

Are you a genius?

>>556715173
I've been called a genius before a few times, but I am a moron.

I could tell you what it is like being a moron. You walk around all day thinking how stupid everyone is compared to you. You sit and ponder all day about dumb shit like if everyone hates Jersey Shore why is still on the air? Being a moron is something special, I get to breeze though life without a real care in the world because someone smarter than me made it easier for dumb people to live happy lives. I would hate to be a genius, then I wouldn't be able to preform mental gymnastics to convince myself that I am happy and that I am not a failure.

>>556715094
Well, that was unexpected. I was waiting for some sort of IQ bogus.
Since you seem like an interesting person, I'll just go ahead and ask you something that's been on my mind for some time.
Do you think that one can "predict" things in the future unconsciously? Like, process lots of possibilities and chances and simply realize the most probable outcome without taking notice of the long line of thought that would have lead him to this conclusion?
it happens to me quite oftenly and I end up seeming like a clairvoyant to my friends and peers.

How do you seduce girls?

Yes, because things are predetermined.

>>556715626
>constantly over-analyize everything
That's strange. I always find that I don't worry or overthink anything. I just have this feeling that by the end, everything will just turn out ok. The only thing I worry about is making decisions, fearing that I may be missing out on something. But I try to take as many opportunities as possible. A quote from my middle school math teacher, "In the end, everything will be alright and if everything isn't alright, then it's not the end."

>>556716280
No one takes determinism seriously anymore.

>>556715819
I believe a genius is not defined by what he can do, but by knowing what others can do. Which, in turn, tells a lot about the genius in question.

>>556716581
How so?
Things are very predetermined.

What is your current job and how much money do you make

>>556716075
Yes, I do think that's possible and maybe even learnable. This is how it works for me:
First of all, there are feelings and thoughts. Without long derivation of why I think this is true, feelings = thoughts. To be more precise, through introspection I have noticed that feelings are the very first thoughts we were able to think as living beings, which gives them a much stronger "feeling" than ordinary, more complex and abstract thoughts do.
I think instead of making long trains of thought, it is possible to develop a feeling for what it would be like to ask yourself a very precise question and answer it very precisely as well, but without ever doing either of these things. This is how I actually do it, I sort of wrap up the whole trains of thought in a feeling that I can sort of "lean into" and experience how it would be to have that feeling for much longer - that is actually think through the thoughts.

It allows me to come to conclusions very quickly. At least that's how it works for me or what I have noticed might be what is going on for me sometimes.

Before I even read this I already had the impression you were acting out of fear/insecurity. You rely on incomplete knowledge to compelte tasks, because you fear the complete set of information might not be to your liking.
The reason that it often turns out okay is that we actually worry too much, though. If you reflect on all the times you have worred about something, how often did you worry even though there was no real need to?

>>556717560
>Are you happy ?
Is it so important to be constantly happy? I think it's counter productive, because what makes you happy (and also what makes you sad) is the contrast. You can't have one with the other and I try to have equal amounts of both, so I'm good.

Yes, but my intelligence is still in cocoon mode, but I am convinced that I will achieve great things.

Aight OP, as someone who lost his teens to the sort of bullshit you're going through right now, dealing with these guys who're attacking you and calling you pretencious, etc, just remember that people's actions reflect their inner selves .

If they're attacking you and calling you names, it's probably just that you've unintentionally hurt their precious ego.

I recommend you read "the power of now" and "how to win friends and influence people". I realize now that it speeds up the process of coming out of the shell when you retreat into it.

I think you should take some time off from everything and learn to accept and live with yourself. You need to self reflect and see where you stamd, then you will know where others stand you will realize they (most probably) don't hate you.
I believe true change and motivation only comes from within. Most certainly bring dedication and maybe look into meditation.

My spiritualy comes from constantly doubting and reevaluting myself, that is, being real with myself. In my opinion, it is useful to hold practical concepts and worldviews, not practical in the way that they are immediately applicable to anything or testable in any way, but practical in the sense that they help me cope with myself.
Such as, I think there is some sort of metaphysical universe where lie all the ideas and mathemaitcal identities predetermined and bound to be found by any self reflective species. Also I think there needs to be a balance between mind, body and spirit, which is why I work out, study and meditate.

easy. nucleosynthesis = nucleons create atoms = big bang = atomic nuclei that formed hydrogen/helium aka formations of stars that we see today

basically, the universe expands and contracts throughout billions of years and the big bang has happened more than once. it's just that it takes so long that we'll never ever get to notice in the entire span of the human race.

First, you need to recognize that you're a weak coward. At least for now. Your lack of self-esteem and paranoia are due to your general lack of confidence. This leads me to believe you haven't done much with your life - at least not much profound.

There are three areas in which a man must be proficient if he is to be generally respected: fitness, social skills, and financial skills.

1. Commit to parkour. Study proper condition techniques and do your plyometric exercises. Learn about parkour and find a place to take yourself to new heights.

2. Think before you speak, but talk to people a lot. Talk about what they want to talk about with the goal of making them like you. Read Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction to inspire yourself.

Learn about finance, business, and law on the internet. Read Warren Buffet's Books. Analyze rich people you know of - study their ways. Learn how to make money work for you.

4. Avoid non-productive activities - video games, porn, and drugs should be avoided. These things can serve as useful substitutes for the lazy and unsuccessful, but you don't want to be that. Also, remember to eat well; learn about nutrition.

For moral support, check out Davis M. J. Aurini on YouTube.

Take my advice: you need to figure out what it is you want out of life by experiencing more life, then you need to create an extremely challenging life goal and avoid anything that would deviate from it. You are your only hope.

Take it from a happy man.

It truly sucks to be thought of by others as intelligent and capable, and at the same time being unmotivated and lazy.

>proof that what you say does not contain a point
You must be baiting me here. It did contain a point. If you're such a genius you will have read my post and understood it. What I'm saying is that nothing you said is at all relevant.
Just because you can't think of a logical counter to my point doesn't mean the point is non-existent. All it means is that I'm right and you're wrong. Furthermore, there are some things in this world (few and far between, perhaps) that are irrefutable. That you are a sperglord is definitely one of them.

>>556711543
How can you tell if a man and woman you know has had a sexual relationship or not?

>>556721725
Wow. That's a retarded statement.

Like, according to Boolean algebra, you can get infinite DIFFEERNT formulations for the conditions which lead to the same outcome / results.

So , which one is the ultimate truth? When they're all EQUIVALENT in the domain you're analizing?

At best, and this is a point I'm conceding to you (with a further catch), at best you can say that they're not the same for a different and BROADER domain. Which is to say, that the moment you add more information that you're going to interpret and try to validate your models with, One of the two (or neither) will have diverging results given the same input.

So the catch now is, if all the information you have to validate your theory with is in fact a limited piece of the infinite and unmeasurable truth, how can you say that something isn't "truth" when all formulations work as an approximation?

----

You don't deny the truth to those formulations. You accept their validity in their pertinent domain.

Human progress splits (in my opinion) up in progress in the physical, mental and spiritual area.

This is, get healther, smarter/wiser, wiser/happier.

As I said I don't really care about politics, but to further stimulate this process we should stop helping the weaklinges and weed them out, we have not surpassed nature yet in what we know about evolving. At least most of us haven't and I think it is wrong for the species to help those with shit genes - those with cancer, those with weak minds, those with ugly and weak bodies.

I'm pointing out that 'justness' from a societal perspective is incapable of being self-determined unless you also believe yourself to be infallible, which is obviously impossible.

Typical first year science major. You're not special and you're clearly not a genius so stop deluding yourself and more importantly, why can't people like you just be smart? Why do you have to be a genius? If every person described them self as a genius, the word would be meaningless.

If you're above intelligence that's great, good for you but that doesn't mean you're a genius or that anyone should treat you differently. In my 5 years of studying Electrical Engineering I learnt that unlike in high school, no one gives a shit if you're the smartest kid in the room it's how much work you do and the quality of your work. Some of the smartest people I have ever met have completely wasted their lives because they think because they're smart they can just coast through life. I myself was guilty of this but learnt very quickly that I had to work hard to achieve what I wanted.

My point is if you're smart don't expect to be able to rely on your intelligence if you want to actually make something of yourself

>>556722230
by "There can be repeats, and some digits might not be represented"
I mean the digits can be assigned by a random digit generator

Wait, before I go. I noticed someone asked what the genius thought about government, to which he replied he didn't give a shit and gave a half-assed answer.

I doubt anyone cares but I believe that the world governments will collapse and will resort to a form of anarchy sometime soon - within our life times. It will be chaos but not nearly as bad as you think, since our world is already very nearly there as it is, believe it or not. After this happens, people will band together to naturally form tight-knit communities like the old days and gangs will spring up ever more. We will then be met with another chance at a primitive government such as monarchy but likely under another title. People don't like the names monarchy or communism, so I'm sure those names will be struck from the list and something else will be used instead but I'm sure the world will function for a long time under something similar.

The only thing that really matters is treating each other with respect. We don't have to like each other, we just have to live with each other. As long as we can do that, everything will be ok. Or the world will end. If that happens, then it won't matter.

Ok, good night for real this time.

Anybody can look through a thesaurus.

Do you believe that meaning is derived through the empirical verification of analytic classifications, or would you say that meaning is intrinsic to synthetic a priorisms?

What are your thoughts on noumenal reality? Is the classification useful? Can it be transcended?

Do you think a categorical imperative is possible?

If you answered yes and no to the last questions, do you believe there is a way to escape the radical individualist subjectivism of post-modernist philosophy?

If so, do you believe questions of morality succumb to error theory or expressivism?

Do you believe that the species-being of man is a) the product of the interaction of the sum of all social relationships with preordained needs b) an essence that precedes your existence c) a dumb generality with no content d)a set of common categories and a priori concepts that allow for intersubjective understanding in an inherently subjective phenomenal world. e) some of the above.

Finally, what is god? a)The projection of our species-being into an ideal b) the first cause c) the pantheist everything d) a triangle with three angles e) something else.

If you're worth a single fuck you should be able to meet and associate with other at least half-fuck-worthy people. Interested in philosophy? Go find some students - at least one should be worth a fuck.
Math? Biology? Seek out those who share your interests. Join clubs. Fucking socially participate in the shit you enjoy.

Reading your posts in this thread, you may be a genius but you are very naive. It's alright, you're only 21, you're practically still a kid. You'll get over it.

>>556724894

I would also like to point out that this is a pretty standard question brought up in most 1st year political philosophy courses.

Your inability to articulate even the most simple response outside of some vague allusion to an autocratic Machiavelli society followed by a simple "I dont care", is pretty impressive for a genius endowed with the gifts of logical deduction and intuition.

>>556723538
But stirner was kind of communist. He explicitly rejected money, private property, the state and competition as spooks that constrict the individual.

>>556725424
and this is why communicating with normals is hard. They just say blatantly and obviously un-true things because they either haven't thought about it thoroughly or arrived at a false conclusion.

and then... what? Try to explain a basic fact? Or just carry on and pretend that you didn't just vomit on your shoes?

Tedious.

What is your take on the Boltzmann brain theory and the probability of a god?

>>556711543
Firstly what you think of yourself doesn't mean shit, its up to other people to call you a genious

Trying to sound existential and saying you think you're a genius in certain ways and that other people are in others blah blah blah does not smart. Anyone with half a brain realizes this

Using the term "one" doesn't make you sound intelligent, it makes you sound like a dickhead

And last, don't try use the fact that you study physics to justify you being a genius, like some elitist asshole. Anyone can study a science if they want to. I bet half the reason chose to study physics was you thought it would make you seem smart

I myself study a science and I fucking hate people like you in my field who think they're better than everyone.

I couldn't bare reading past the first quarter of this thread, I'm sure some people have raised similar points

>>556725536

He also rejected communism because it rejected the individual

>>556724872
>Do you believe that meaning is derived through the empirical verification of analytic classifications, or would you say that meaning is intrinsic to synthetic a priorisms?

Let's not discuss this as if those two options are mutually exclusive. It seems obvious at least to me that one who seeks knowledge should value both empirical analysis and reflection upon their apparent a priori convictions as tools for discovery. That said, I think the desire to learn - a quite necessary quality of the philosopher, can be easily ascertained from metaphysical and/or phenomenological inquiry, especially inward.

I've seen better genius threads OP,try harder next time.

>>556725608
you are beyond fucking obnoxious

>>556725632
Meh, he was referring to the utopians like saint-simon and fourrier.

His framework doesn't really allow for anything other than some form of extreme communism. I mean if your remove the state, money, competition, private property, what are you left with? Actually in all honesty I don't think it allows for any coherent positive framework. I don't see why stirner wouldn't reject occupancy-and-use along with everything else if it didn't serve the ego.

>>556711543
Op, I know you probably answered this but, you aren't as smart as you think. At least I think this way because someone will always better then you at something. How do you fell more superior then someone else? You aren't anymore "genius" then me.

>>556714314
You're 21, you can't be a genius even if you were nobody would really give a flying fuck. Being a genius doesn't mean being smart, it means just that you are able to do something better than someone in which case most of the people who we think are smarter than us are just not lazy and try harder.

Anyone want to talk to a real genius? I graduated with my PhD in biomechanical systems engineering at 22 and have a $500,000 grant for research into nanotech involving enhanced production of water in mitochondria to reduce the water intake to very little/zero for athletes.

Overcoming the post-modern condition requires a re-evaluation of all values.

First off, I have not read any philosophy at all

1) Meaning is intrinsic to synthetic a priorisms, which is a sort of expectation to what is something going to be like. However, I think that meaning has to he changed once it does not agree with the empirical verification of analytical classifications, if these classifications can be derived formally

2) Explain what noumenal reality is and what it means exactly

3) Yes

>>556725128
Interesting. So your school wasn't full of other children who you could socialize with? Or were they all just too different from you?

It's curious to me why you'd rather settle for nothing than something. For instance, you should have had some non-intellectual hobbies; why didn't you at least go and try to find people to share those experiences with. Even if you can't appreciate others intellectually, why can't you appreciate them from a place of warmth and humanity?

Maybe you can't connect with others because you are boring, immature, and insecure.

>>556726138
Wasn't even trolling. I just gave it a thought, God forbid this idea.

Then what is their limit and why was it reached?

Then stop commenting on it you ignoramus.
Who here do you think wants to hear about you talk about something you know about?

>I don't know anything about it, some of these questions are tedious as fuck
They are only tedious because you are ignorant and want words defined when they already have pretty clear definitions.
Why dont you go research it yourself you lazy moron.

>>556726170
1) I never claimed it applied to me or labelled myself a genius. I'm not
2) I've always had friends, and I'm much better at socializing now. I played basketball and soccer in school, and played music. I didn't say I couldn't socialize, just that I found it somewhat difficult and relatively unfulfilling.

>>556726118
>Violence is only justified if that person shows lack of insight, for then he commits a crime against a rule of the metaphysical world for which you are allowed to separate him from his body, if you will.

What is that rule?

OP, if you're still around, I think I am a lot smarter than the average person, not in all ways but certainly in the lateral thinking aspect, but by far my best intelligence if you can call it that, is that I can easily read people very well, tell whether they're lying, see hidden intentions etc etc, I do it without trying, not looking for signs but just sort of reading them all together and I was wondering if others are the same

there is a card game called cheat/bullshit and I am so ridiculously good at it it's not even funny, whenever I play I notice people's tells straight away and I just know if they're lying about it, it's good for poker and things as well but I don't like poker as a game and I don't gamble at all

>>556726118
>Violence is only justified if that person shows lack of insight, for then he commits a crime against a rule of the metaphysical world for which you are allowed to separate him from his body, if you will.

What would be such an example of a lack of insight? Also, where does your understanding of the metaphysical come from if you have not read any philosophy?

Also, do you maintain a regular sleep cycle and how important is it to you?

>>556726527
Oh, I see. Well, if you can point me to where you said that I'll concede.

>>556726432
You want to know something from me, I don't want anything from you.

>>556711543
is the block sent flying or does it fall straight to the ground after leaving the portal?
ignore the ball for now

>>556726716
It falls out, because no force is acting on the block

>>556726716
OH SHIT PORTALS

>>556726716
will answer for OP. thermonuclear astrophysicist here.

the block isn't moving and has so potential energy, so it would simply fall.

>>556726704
So by "lack of insight" you meant to more strongly express "logical deduction", correct?

>>556726793
but if you look through the blue portal, it appears to be moving and indeed, it is from that point of view, that energy cannot just dissapear.

>>556726716
Doesn't the portal non-exist because it's moving?

>>556726115
>You wont ever touch the thing-in-itself

NOOOOOOOO.

>Yes.
>It's called the overman, he is coming.

>Overcoming the post-modern condition requires a re-evaluation of all values.

Nietzsche is a post-modernist. Nietzschean egoism is exactly the radical individualist subjectivism I'm talking about. That's how he demolished nihilism. The overman doesn't get out of post-modernity, he embraces it. Otherwise you can not transvaluate all values, you must necessarilly conform to some or others which is neither very egoist, nor very life-affirming.

>What about l'existence précède l'essence?

I put that under a)

>Havent you heard, we are transitioning towards the End of Ideology.

So, a).

>>556726118
1) You are a critical rationalist. Congratulations. Popper will be a condescending dick towards you before giving you your degree.

2) Noumenal reality is the thing-in-itself as it exists, and not the image of the thing that we register through our sense-perception and rational processing. It's not the mental image of the object that we can know but the object itself.

>>556726169
I know stirner was an egoist anarchist. The thing is that his framework is only consistent with either mutualism or communism, and I think mutualism requires the egoists to unite under more conditions than the latter.

>>556726982
it did in portal one, but in two you cut the newrotoxin tubes by using moving portals (and lasers)

We're considered matter.. right? So what would be our anti-matter selves? Does it exist, can we coexist, and does it have intelligence that far surpasses ours?

>>556726115
Komm schon Friedrich, ich habe gedacht das du tod warst?

>>556726939
If I run past that block it appears to be moving as well, so?

No force on the block.

>>556726938
Lack of understanding and more so acknowledging where one's errors lie

>>556727189
yes. but in order to stop, an energy must be applied, either on the observer or the block, wich is not the case here

>>556727189
Fair enough.

>>556727136
Haven't played two.

If portals can actually exist. Wouldn't they follow the theory of relativity?

You become one by playing toward your strengths, which you first must figure out.

What should a person with above-average, but nowhere near genius or even advance ability aspire to accomplish in life?

>>556727447
well, this is a spoiler but [spoiler]no, portals are logically impossible, even more so if you allow moving portals (relative to each other) because it allows two different frames of reference, each completly valid and invalidating the other.[/spoiler]

Nietzche is unzeitgemass.

>Nietzschean egoism
You know nothing.
Zarathustra foretold the collapsing sea of nihilism and the death of god, all preludes to the 'post modern' condition.

>That's how he demolished nihilism
He didnt demolish it, he demolished ultimate values with a tuning hammer.

Nihilism is just a concept, it is what rushes in once you collapse ultimate values.

>he embraces it
The overman transcend post-modernity.
The re-evaluation of all values means you go beyond the current zeitgeist.

Btw: the post-modern "period" exists *within* the modern period.
It's not a time reference like 'modern' is, it's a concept.

Post-modern is not after modern, it is within it.

>you must necessarilly conform to some or others which is neither very egoist, nor very life-affirming.
Like how Zarathustra came down from the mountains to the marketplace?
No that wont do. Where do you think he went after the marketplace?

Trans-valuation has nothing to do with 'conforming' or 'egoism' or whatever you call it.
It's beyond that.

I dont speak/read german, even though one should if you want to touch german philosophers. My apologies.

>>556727576
Karl Popper is probably the most famous philosopher of science, he conciliated hume's damning critique of induction with the scientific method and created a demarcation criterion for science / non-science. He also took part in the full frontal assault against logical positivism, which is the belief that all meaning is derived from empirical verification, so everything that can't be empirically verified is literally meaningless. Ethics, aesthetic judgement etc are all gibberish and feelz. Unfortunately the logical positivist had some issues, like the fact that the verification criterion of meaning is metaphysical, thus can't be verified, thus it is according to itself meaningless gibberish, but they were still kicking while everyone from the frankfurt school to popper to quine were passing it around in a massive epistemological gang-rape.

>>556727997
You can't escape the fact that psychological and ethical egoism are themselves frameworks. The rejection of ideas as existing above the ego to be served, is a framework.

>>556724894

Look kiddo, I know this is a pretty difficult question. It requires you to really think.

It does not require you to be a political scientist or a philosopher to provide an answer. There IS no right or wrong answer.

What it will do, though, is give us a basis on how you approach complex problems. It will illuminate to the rest of us how you structure arguments and what type of thinker you are.

So far, you seem to be about as intelligent as the average first year student. About as motivated too.

Are you happy with your performance so far?
