A lot of gay people pretend to be homophobic to cover their insecurities.
Can someone refute the following statement by Schopenhauer:
>A man can do what he wants, but not choose what he wants
Like if I'm attracted to men, I can choose which man I fuck, but I cannot choose to be attracted to women.
This seems to end the discussion of free will in a simple statement.
>>/his/
Man is driven by desire
But usually man has no control over his desires
Any kind of self-discipline trumps that retarded statement
>I can choose which cigarette brand to smoke, but I cannot choose to quit smoking

oats
O Brother give me your oats
>>9528901
No. Do you perhaps believe oats such as these would ever fill the bottomless pit that is a swine's stomach? This hunger is indeed unfulfillable, indeed inseparable from you, indeed forever. Yet in your foolishness you forget the purpose of these oats, it isn't to end this appetite eternal - as if there was a cure for this craving, save for death! These damnable oats were brought here not to sate but to fatten. What do you suppose will happen to the larger brother? The humans trapped us in a contest to see which animal will receive the questionable honor of joining the humans in an English breakfast first, a race in which your dim, corpulent, oat-obsessed self would appear to have an advantage. Can't you see it is out of love for you that I wish to be victorious, to give you less oats in exchange for more life? That you can eat all the oats you want, as there will be one less brother to share them with, once I am gone? Could this brotherly love I feel for you possibly give you a greater gift? No, brother, though I love you these oats shall be mine.

True.

Am I supposed to hate Moses? He's written as a cynical, manipulative, bloodthirsty cult leader who will stop at nothing when it comes to gaining power. All that falling on his face whenever someone calls him on his bullshit makes me sick.
I think that reading the OT is turning me into an anti-semite, what kind of retarded people read this and think Moses was a swell fellow?

I don't think so, he was just trying to please YHWH. Ancient near eastern gods and people were generally harsh dudes.
What I don't get is why all his fuck ups are in there. In jewish belief he's THE prophet, and an example fir everythone afterwards. But YHWH keeps getting angry at him for letting the Israelites fuck up again and again. In Exodus he didn't even want to lead the Israelites becuase he was too scared and YHWH basically tells him to do it or else. As a final punishment he's not even allowed to enter the promised land.

>What I don't get is why all his fuck ups are in there.
The ancient authors sought to portray him as utterly human, and not even an ideal one.
Compare this to Islam's treatment of Muhammad as an ideal of masculinity and humanity.

Good lord what a shitty book. Did you manage to finish this manchild opus?
Can someone tell me why this guy is talked about every single day when all he did was make a big stink about not calling trans people by their preferred genders? I've seen some of his other videos too, and his debate with Sam Harris. Sam Harris pretty much broke down the debate and showed how he's ideologically driven and his arguments make no sense. I literally saw him use an article that was written about conservatives (the one that says they have higher levels of fear and disgust) and went on a talk show and said that study was about liberals. His videos generally tend to be patronizing and melodramatic, plus his constant ranting about postmodernism and liberals is embarrassing and generalizing and vague. Not to mention his fucking new years video he made, where he starts fucking crying because people don't accept jesus christ into their hearts, which he still has as his intro video to his youtube channel.
It's hilarious to me how people think he's this brilliant thinker, I should say sad actually.
hes a meme you dip
Its very sad that we have reach a point where Sam Harris seems like a respectable intellectual
It's also hilarious to me how 4chan contrarians never seem to have anything good to say about life, and yet refuse to commit suicide and keep whining on a Mongolian tapestry-making forum.

Funny as fuck. Where some people fall in love and I learn some shit.
It takes place in a 90's, jazzy, multiracial, consumerist, transsexual utopia with lots of LSD.
