What is the purpose of your life? What gives it meaning? How do you relate to your fellow human beings?

My purpose is to enrich others, help them develop freedom, and a critical capacity to effectively choose the best path in their own lives. This pursuit gives me meaning, as well as developing my virtues like compassion, knowledge, patience, love, and wisdom.

My relations with other human beings is the foundation of meaning in my life. It is what guides my thoughts and activities, and good relations with others is like a flower getting sunshine and water. Minds positively conjoined enrich one another.

To move closer and be a part of building a world with less suffering, and more actualization is the meaning of my humanism.

What is fun? Is that sufficient for a meaningful life? What is the purpose of it?
>>
I know the truth of my own existence, I have contemplated it and I have had it revealed through religious and philosophic revelation and through the simplistic teaching and arguments of my parents throughout my life.

Simply put, my specific purpose is naught but to reproduce. This is what my life's purpose is and that is all it shall ever be. I shall never leave a mark in history and after I am dead I shall only live on through the genes of my children.

This is the only meaning that my life holds.

I do not relate to my other fellow humans, they are all far too vain. None of them dedicated to pure utilitarianism enough.

I can only relate in that my failures as a man are reflected in the failures of others.

I detest the vanity of man, the pursuits of man, the work of man's hands and the selfishness and short-sightedness of his goals.

I detest the non-intellectual hedonists and I detest the socialists, for the first tries to maximize happiness through meaningless opiates being forced into his system.

The latter however I detest because they see man as an animal that lives within a vacuum, who must be drugged on opiates and has no further purpose nor any genetic value.

All in this world is vanity, myself included.

For this, I hate this world and long for death. I suspect highly that in death I shall either embrace the glorified and luminous heavens or the sublime and incompressible embrace of pure nothingness devouring my very existence, rendering my experience to pure and beautiful 0

Birth and Death, my purpose in life and my hope in life.

Is there such thing as objective beauty? Or is beauty in the eyes of the beholder?
112 posts and 42 images submitted.

I think its a bit of both.
There are certain things that a majority will always find attractive, but humans have individual personalities, likes, and dislikes, which leads to minority opinions on beauty.

Since 1932 the University of Birmingham has had, among its collected works, a virtually full two page fragment of the Qur’an. Recently they decided to see if they could come up with a date for these pages. And so they had a carbon-14 dating done. The results are nothing less than astounding. See, e.g., http://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/23/opinions/quran-manuscript-analysis/index.html

Carbon-14 dating dates organic material based on the deterioration of its carbon-14 isotope, and so can give a range of dates that are statistically determined to be of relative accuracy. This dating is remarkable. The dating was done by a lab devoted to such things in Oxford. There is a 95% chance that these pages were produced between 568 and 645 CE. The prophet Mohammed was engaged in his active ministry in 610-632 CE. These pages may have been produced during his lifetime or in a decade or so later.

In case anyone is missing the significance of that, here is a comparison. The first time we have any two-page manuscript fragment of the New Testament is from around the year 200 CE. That’s 170 years after Jesus’ death in 30 CE.

The Bible has hundreds of thousands of discrepancies in known early manuscripts. Whereas these fragments perfectly match the modern Qu'ran.

Why is it that Muslims have done such a perfect job of accurately preserving the text of the Qu'ran compared to Christians?

Is it because Muslim scholars were guided by God?

There are two types of smart people. Those that realise the implications of relativism / Stirner / Munchhausen trilemma and admit it, and those who realise it and ignore it (those who don't realise it are dumb).

People who ignore it are usually navel gazing, house of card building, obscurantist, pretentious charlatans / academics. Most people who admit it aren't even involved in philosophy. A few people who admit it, such as myself, point out how all talk of ethics, metaphysics, etc is based on feelings and has nothing non-trivial to tell us.

Of course religionfags and philosophyfags try their hard to associate themselves with things of people who are seen as respectable or intelligent or other things. So they will lie and dissemble, all out of self interest.

>A few people who admit it, such as myself, point out how all talk of ethics, metaphysics, etc is based on feelings and has nothing non-trivial to tell us.
taking it a wee bit too far. stirner never says ethics and metaphysics are trivial. he just says you own them.

>Of course religionfags and philosophyfags try their hard to associate themselves with things of people who are seen as respectable or intelligent or other things. So they will lie and dissemble, all out of self interest.
stirner himself is not a psychological egoist. it is not true that EVERYTHING people do is out of self interest, stirner just believes you can find self interest in many things people do believe.

i've read stirner a fucking lot too so don't try to condescend

>Had his whole army handed to him and was already in a position of power
What? He literally had to beat his own father in order to get where he was?

>Died without a heir causing the collapse of his empire
It continued long he died and was the cause of Hellinization, arguebaly the most importaint thing in the development of the western world.

>His legacy was wiped out by the Arabs
Last I checked the culture spread by Hellinzation were still number 1 and Arabic culture is confined to a minor part of the world.

>Famous for taking down a weakening empire
You mean the only world power that really rivaled Greece in the region?

>Was too damn ambitious that led to distrust between him and his men
If he managed to win while having his men distrust him that would actually make him greater.

Heaven/Gehenna is the spiritual dimension which intersects with the material, but we are blind to it from sin. With more sensitivity to it, the more acutely you become aware of God permeating everything. This is increasingly blissful light if you love God, or increasingly tormenting fire if you hate him.
