What are your thoughts about nihilism? I kind of see some truth in it but it's been depressing me lately.

Lazy and irritating. Popular among teenagers who resent their religious upbringing. Of course there is some truth to it, but at the end of the day, it only leaves one unfulfilled. I suppose that is the point, but it's not for me.

But how does "I don't like it" make the nihilistic approach any less correct?

The only significant thinkers at the moment are Slavoj Zizek, Mencius Moldbug, Nick Land, Richard Spencer, and that guy who wrote those ebin Holy Roman Empire & 30 Yeas War books. Academic philosophy is pretty much dead, and has been since Heidegger.

Y/N ?

>>1221916
How can you say

>Academic philosophy has been dead since Heidegger.

and than say

>Slavoj Zizek is signficant

Ziveck's thinking is based on Lacan and all sorts of post-modernism thought that comes after Heidegger.

This is a direct contradiction in your own idea. If Zivcek is significant than so is the post-modern thinking he is discusses.

What is /his/ consensus about History Buffs?

I think it's generally a good chanell, however his Bravehearth review trigerred me. I know history was butchered on that movie, but it's actually a good and fun movie. On the other hand he says that 300 is great when it's really a fighting movie disguised has a an historic epic.

Oh, and his youtube intro is sick.

He is decent as far as youtube "historians" go. The topic of his videos (movies) don't require a phd in history.

He also changed Cleopatra from black to yellow-whiteish in his intro.
>>
He is really fucking annoying. Still like his shit though.

Well he's a perfidious Albion so I don't like him, but his videos are okay. It is interesting to see how the movies adapted history.

Do people have a moral obligation with society? Is it viceversa? Does the west (aka. more advanced countries) have an obligation with the rest of the world?
10 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>1224090
Obviously it does have an obligation since most of it's people think so.
There seems to be a problem in the west to compartmentalize and separate attitudes towards foreigners and attitudes towards one's own population.
The west has come to hate all aggression except self defense and its exactly in the name of self defense that the west wages wars today.
Perhaps its because US is the current hegemon but the US is also a society of immigrants.
Europe has decided, after WW2, that it cannot be responsible for war any longer and was replaced by the US and the Soviet Union, both of which had and have inclusive revolutionary ideals.
>>
A moral obligation to do what exactly?

>>1224090
I view society as our moral obligation to one another.

Art supposedly tells us about the society from which it comes from.
What can we learn from American art through the ages then? Can you really see the moral decay of the nation through our art?

Why are the Japanese gangster so different than the rest of the world? While there are simple thugs in Japan the real Yakuza are manipulation master-minds.

You have to pay to be a Yakuza, and on top of that if you aren't earning large amount of sums you cannot even be a Yakuza.

It's the ultimate scam, there are also theories about the Yakuza stopping a lot of the drug trade in Japan - America is now pressuring the Japanese govt to get rid of these old-school Yakuza, as they generally tolerated them.

That is also the idea I got from them, the only thing which gave them a negative connotation were the sketchy things they did in business.

And of course the public acts of violence.
>>
>>1223062
The Yakuza are facing a huge shortage of members and increasing crackdowns by police and are having a PR problem. The upper echelons of the Yakuza are shrewd businessmen, so now they're trying to rebrand themselves as a sort of right wing traditionalist group, like a Finnish Sons of Odin type thing. Of course, they're also still an international crime syndicate that deals in all of the nitty gritty mafia-types stuff like extortion and brothels, so make of it what you will.

As for why the US opposes the Yakuza, they're one of the pillars holding up the more traditional Japanese mindset. This a huge no-no for the globalist-minded governments in the West, especially America. Homogeneous societies are more peaceful and able to project outwards instead of dealing with domestic problems. We need to stay divided and preoccupied so the financial elites can keep rolling in cash.

Of course it was a coherent power. Why wouldn't it be? Because it was somewhat decentralized?

It was conquered by one man. What division?

If the fire lord was really serious about conquering the world he should have used soft power instead of hard power

How does one properly define Agnosticism in a context or at least in some semblance of order like it could be done with any other religion?

Beside explaining the lack of position, a suspension of judgement until sufficient "proofs" so to say, what could you say? Cite authors on the matter? Like Huxley that defined it more as a method, akin to the scientific method.

Imagine being told to talk about Christianity, you can talk about it from an historical point, a sociological,
anthropological view, talk about the rituals, the relationship with the supernatural, God, Deities, spirits, ecc.

Then compare it to, imagine being told to talk about or even research about agnosticism, it seems rather devoid of content.

if you want gnosis you start from agnosis

Well I guess curiosity is the most humble form of ignorance, like a state of being where one does not take things for granted, still it seems so vague and odd compared to religion.

>>1222147
Gnosticism is not the opposite of agnosticism, gnosticism is a specific religion
