>WHAT CONSTITUTES “EVIL”?

>WHAT CONSTITUTES “EVIL” IS PERMANENT OBSOLESCENCE; ALL THAT WHICH IS PASSIVELY, OR ACTIVELY, DETRIMENTAL TO PERFECTION; ALL THAT WHICH PROMOTES DECAY EITHER VIA NEGATIVE —EXPIRING— MOTION, OR NEGATIVE —INERT— STASIS.

>WHAT CONSTITUTES “GOOD”?

>WHAT CONSTITUTES “GOOD” IS NOT ONLY IMMANENT ACTUALITY; ALL THAT WHICH IS CONDUCIVE TO PERFECTION; ALL THAT WHICH PROMOTES INTEGRATION EITHER VIA POSITIVE —INSPIRING— MOTION, OR POSITIVE —KINETIC— STASIS, BUT ALSO THAT WHICH PROACTIVELY STAVES OFF “EVIL” IN ALL ITS MANIFESTATIONS, WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF ERADICATING IT.

>THE FUNCTION OF “GOOD” IS DOUBLE: TO RECONCILE AND OPTIMIZE, AND TO ACHIEVE PERFECTION, THE FORMER BEING A PREREQUISITE FOR THE LATTER; CORRESPONDINGLY, THE ABSOLUTE AND RELATIVE EFFECTS OF “EVIL” ARE DOUBLE ALSO, DESPITE “EVIL” HAVING ONLY ONE FUNCTION —TO DISINTEGRATE—; CONSEQUENTLY, “EVIL ACTION” IS ALWAYS MORE IMMEDIATELY EFFECTIVE, AND MORE DIFFICULT TO CURTAIL, THAN “GOOD ACTION” —IT IS ALWAYS EASIER TO DESTROY, AND TO KILL, THAN IT IS TO CREATE, AND TO CONCEIVE.

>BOTH, “GOOD”, AND “EVIL”, ARE NECESSARILY MEDIATED QUALITIES, THEREFORE SOMEONE PURE —PURELY POTENTIAL, OR PURELY ACTUAL— IS BEYOND “GOOD”, AND “EVIL” —PURE POTENTIALITY, AND PURE ACTUALITY, THEMSELVES, BEING UNMEDIATED CONDITIONS OF BEING; ID EST: IMMEDIATE.

>PURITY IS BEYOND ETHICOMORALITY.

This is what early Wittgenstein and analytic tried to do until later Wittgenstein showed them how stupid the idea is, positivism is a dead field. Although even the analytics like Russel understood morality to be a relative thing. They were just trying to use positivism as a way of making relativistic statements about morality more stream-lined.

>What is the difference between Continental and Analytical Philosophy?

They are different philosophical traditions that use different methods to solve the same problems

>Does it matter?

Assblasted autists who don't actually read the requisite literature in order to intelligently discuss these matters will tell you it does but in reality it does not.

>>892020
>They are different philosophical traditions that use different methods to solve the same problems
How are they different?

In the early 20th century, philosophy took a linguistic turn. People started asking not "what is truth?" but "how can we know truth given that language is imprecise?". Anglo-American philosophers followed in the footsteps of Frege and Wittgenstein and tried refining language to a logical structure to make it more precise. Continental philosophers continued in the footsteps of Heidegger and Nietzsche and sought a more poetic understanding of truth. In modern times, however, philosophers on both sides of the divide have attempted to learn from their opposing schools and reconcile logic and poesis.

He promised the Israelites the land of Canaan.

Jews refer to the tribe of Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Israel.

They were distinctly different from the Ashkenazi long-nosed Khazarian Jews of today (synagogue of satan).

Isn't it just about everything? As far as I know, most Wild West stereotypes were created by Buffalo Bill's show of the same name.

That cowboys were marauding heroes instead of people who spent 90% of their time herding cows and the remaining 10% screwing whores. That life was really exciting and violent instead of boring, hard work. That Dodge City was a dangerous town where people got shot every day when there was really only a murder every month.

You serious nigga?
There's been plenty of philosophers who were basically poor beggars
Just as an example from the Greek world: Diogenes

>>891199
Diogenes chose to live like that. He didn't come from a poor family.

>>891184
To ask what does it mean to be a good man, what should I do, who should I be are all philosophical questions. Everyone, whether explicitly or implicitly uses ethical thinking to operate. Being aware of ethics explicitly helps one in everything they do in life.

>>891184
Yeah, think Marx and socialism, or the Enlightenment and liberalism.

Funny enough, these ideologies played roles in toppling some privileged upper classes and instating others.

>most tech was extremely new and tactics hadn't quite adapted to them yet
>trench warfare resulted while tacticians struggled with what to do against the new defense heavy tech
>Offensive Tech to counter trench warfare was near non-existent and wouldn't exist until the war was practically over and even then in it's most primordial forms
>Communication tech combined with top down tactical management meant adaptation went as fast as it possibly could but was far too slow
>Incompetency actually did very little thanks to these previous factors
It really wasn't the generals fault, they did what they could with what they had.

Neither. The only argument to be made is to what caused the universe to exist.

>C comes after 2
Anyway just because the universe exists, doesn't mean it has a cause. That's the false premise.

Also we don't fully know if we exist, false vacuum and whatnot. However to be fair, we might as well live like we do.

Also it'll probably piss Catholics off, but the Big Bang is a pretty bad description for the beginning of the universe. Prior to the expansion of the universe everything was so hot and condensed that it's figuratively impossible for us to comprehend since it no longer obeyed our conceptions of time and space. That being said, the universe probably didn't just come from nothing, but stretched from an infinitely smaller fraction of what it is today. So we may be heading back into an understanding that the universe always existed, which will definitely piss off the religious, unless they're pantheists or something. But like I said our monkey brains have trouble wrapping around the idea of an existence that's all energy, without time and space.

His role in historical is dramatically overshadowed by others in his time.

>>890525
It's harder to use him to push a political narrative.

>>890525
He's more talked about than Stalin here tho. There's literally a thread about him every third day. Hell if you ignore meme references, he's more talked about than fucking Hitler here.

We have no way of knowing until we either figure out how to observe it or come up with a unified field theory.

Sorry for the boring answer.

Here's a really abstracted explanation, about exactly this question.

I actually just watched this before posting.
I didn't like the first half of the video where the guy said "we can't find out because our telescopes/ ships are too slow and the universe expands with time."
The part about the universe being a hypersphere was interesting but I really want to believe that universe has an end.
