i don't think it's right that society has attempted to educate/shame out of us our disgust of the severely mentally/psychically handicapped.

multiculturalism is bad

merit based achievements should be the only achievements (This trickles down to the idea of Color person college dollars)

there is a very real attempt to ruin our nation taking place, and the prevalence of misinformation makes connecting dots appear absurd--unless you are one of five news agencies with name recognition.

Eugenics is a lot different. Putting a ban on people and having requirements is a bad idea because you don't know how a person will progress or change over time. Some of them turn out well, others not, but you can't know that, so eugenics can't and shouldn't be done.

Everything is pointless.
Not just in our lives, but in every aspect of anything that's ever happened ever or that will ever happen ever.
The universe is 13.54 billion years old and is projected to live for billions and billions more.
Eventually, nothing ever done will matter.
It's hard to put the concept into words because it is the most vast idea that can be had.
There is an infinite amount of possibilities in our universe alone, considering it's infinite properties.
We know that the multiverse is real.
Our existence is that of a fraction of a quark.
We are nothing in the cosmic nothing.

Basically it boils down to this.

The sun will begin dying.
It will eat the Earth, rendering anything ever on it, done on it, to it, or for it pointless.
Then the Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy, killing countless solar systems in the wake.
Then the universe will die, rendering anything ever that has ever been, nothing.
Then the multiverse comes into play with its host of neverending unending.

>tl;dr
We are so pointless it's impossible for us to even attempt to try to understand the vastness.
>>
>>7813273
>what? even gypsies

Unless you're actively walking everywhere you go and you wipe your ass with your hand so you don't wast toilet paper, you mean an abuser of animals.

Either way you're incorrect.
We're designed to eat like we do and we're able to live like we do because we evolved to get the point where we understood how to build shit and make tools and weapons.

People that choose to go against millions of years of evolution will get bred out of the gene pool, it's just how nature works.

The soy acts as estrogen, quelling the ape ego. Lessening our sense of what we are entitled to in our little domain socially, economically, sexually, ect. And all the protein we shit out destroys the soil.

>>7813398
Your argument is scientifically incorrect
Evolution doesn't affect humans now, it's sexual selection that does.

My unpopular opinion: Historical Progress is a meme, we're not any better off now than in the past. Every time we alter our form of government or make any kind of social "progress" we suffer merely because of the costs imposed by change. The net effect is the slow degradation of society. All of our problems stem from man's ego and his capacity for critical thought which lead to the unstoppable march of deleterious social and especially technological innovation.

my edgy philosophy is that any person is capable of holding any opinions. I don't really know how to word it well because I'm a retard, but basically I can realistically see myself holding hardcore liberal views while I currently am as far right wing as they come.

Any kind of racial superiority is almost certainly false but cultural superiority is definitely real. Black people didn't deserve to be colonized, enslaved, killed, etc., but African culture should have been wiped out even more totally than it was, and rightfully lost out to European culture during the encounters that took place leading up to colonialism. In the Americas, residential schools were poorly organized and extremely racist, but had good intentions in mind, since their goal was to wipe out the grossly inferior culture of indigenous Americans, who, like the Africans, were imminently inferior to the Europeans who were able to colonize them.
People of colour have contributed a lot to this world and deserve equal treatment, including things like affirmative action which gives them more opportunities than white people: this is fair, because they are at a systematic disadvantage. The inferior aspects of their culture, however, and the respect that the dominant culture seems to have for these cultures' purported "superior" qualities (which are actually either fictitious or romanticized) like non-patriarchy, harmony with nature, etc., should be crushed.
>>
>>7813618
That is what I'm saying. The most basic example is the 'if you were born in Iran you'd be a Muslim' argument. I suspect it is only me, though, due to the fact that every career aptitude test I've taken gave results such as "do whatever you want lol," and all of my personality tests such as MBTI have given me more or less exact middle results in every category. I'm kinda like a mix between Mersault and Milquetoast, if you catch my reference.

They are, it's true. They participate in an inferior culture, and institutional racism is also real. The latter is a bad thing that is gradually lessening and will soon go away forever (with another generation or so), but more importantly, we have to give POC opportunities to break away from the enclaves of bad culture. Black people will keep robbing stores and killing each other unless we provide them with the opportunities the need to have in order to assimilate into a culture that is functional.

The only thing worth pursuing is familial status either in life or far beyond in death after having offspring. Even if temporary, for a generation or two, it is still in the right direction towards immortal genetic preservation/improvement in stable environments. The purpose of status is to set up a dynasty. Creating a dynasty in the upper rungs of society should be the ultimate goal for anyone. If you are unable to produce offspring at least achieve for your own culture group (indirectly improve a similar gene group)

I've been thinking about that a lot. Mass media dissociates people from the real world and fragments their identities.

what

isnt it obvious? what does feminism ask for? The opportunity to play a part in the eternal wagecuck game, fuck the kids leave them at kindergartner, as a true feminist I want to work 9-5 at a souless pointless job so I can earn money and spend it on crap I dont need.

That crap will not fill the hole in my heart, that can only be fulfilled by things that are not for sale, therefore go to a prostitute and pretend to have a meaningful relationship, go to shopping mall and buy crap and pretend my life is improved.

The eternal jew can rub his hands even further, the family and any sense of belonging can be eradicated and human beings can now be assessed as what they truly are: capitalist units. Breaking up the family and society is the means to create a capitalist ideological society, where the only thing that matters is money. IE the peoples republic of china today.

Also eugenics isn't an inherently evil practice. Provided it is opt-in and is specifically used to remove severe genetic diseases like huntington's there is no fault to it. Unfortunately, as long as prejudice exists it will be misused to terrible results

social class has been found to change on average every 200 years, therefore creating a large dynasty spread wide would be the best possible strategy, even though in the longterm your ancestors genes will not be very related to yours as the multiplexing within the gene pool will pretty much mean that your genes survive but your unique genetic identity is spread out far and wide instead of focused within specific individuals

feminism exists today because it is still an instrument with which one can leverage society (gain in station, gain in reputation, gain in fame, gain in perceived moral standing, gain financially, gain reproductively) and it also allows one to ingratiate onesself with others under a common topic while signaling virtue

Okay, to reply to this guy, and to contribute to the thread - capitalism isn't that bad.

Yeah, on a conceptual level socialism might be better, but capitalism, as it is, is probably the best option for modern society.

Art is objective on a level, but your interpretations and overall preference is obviously subjective. I mean, you might be more emotionally attached to your son's drawing than say, Descent From The Cross by Van Reubens, but one is objectively better than the other, so art is a mix between the two, at least on my opinion.

The problem with capitalism is it's a slow burn. Millions die every year. It's not stable it just concentrates stability and e West's time is almost up.

It also can and will be divorced from democracy, at which point you will get none of the good and all of the bad.
I'm not even arguing for socialism I'm just saying the ship is sinking and we're fucked if we don't come up with something.

Yeah, the problem is that most options can easily become corrupt overtime, and I'm not saying that capitalism is an exception.

I personally believe that a meritocracy, if organized correctly, might be the best type of system. But the same problem that socialism has appears once again - those type of systems are great on a conceptual level, but are pure shit once you put them into practice, mainly because of how corrupt they can become.

>>
everything we do is to avoid suffering, and the reward for our struggle is not pleasure, but nothing more than a lack of suffering, which soon gives way to boredom. it is better to just die, than to struggle hard to acheive te same 'lack of suffering' state.

let me explain, we must work, to produce for our needs, which cause us to suffer if we dont' address them. or needs are things like the weather, water, food, healthcare, hygeine, social contact, sense of meaning, things to look forward to, sex, rest, a comfy place to sit, entertainment. all these things are constantly needed, and if we don't tend to these needs in a constant struggle to try and keep our supply of these topped up, they will deplete and we will start suffering, mild at first but it will get worse and worse, until we die. 3 hours without warmth, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, and we literally die. it's a constant race not only against the suffering of dying, but against all the progressivly worse suffering states that precede it. mild dehydration is suffering, mild hunger is suffer, mild boredom, milk lonliness, it all fucking feels bad. we must perpetually struggle, every single moment of our existence we must act to secure our needs so that we don't suffer. even you, reading this post right now, you are struggling, because simply existence is not enough, life alone is not pleasurable or worthwhile, it has no value, and it soon become suffering - boredom, once all your needs are met, you don't know what to do with yourself. you finally fulfilled all your needs and what is your reward? nothing. all you get is the emptiness that is life. and this emptiness soon gives way to boredom, which you must struggle against, which you are doing now by reading this post.

the struggle will never end while you're alive. every single waking moment, hell you even sleep to remedy the suffering that is fatigue, every single moment you struggle against suffering, and it is entirely for nothing. there is no goal of it all, there is no reward of it all. it's all for nothing. absolutely nothing. and you know what's even worse, the dead are in the same state you're in when you fulfil all your needs - a state where you aren't suffering. it's not positive, but at least it doesn't hurt. That's right, the dead are fucking better off than you are most of the time. so why not die? haha the catch is that you must violently lethally injure your body, reuiring huge amounts of courage, and is terrifying, and horrible.

you are essentially trapped in this hell, forced to struggle against suffering that perpetually chases you, not running towards anything - just running from the suffering, until one day the suffering catches up and takes hold, and it finally achieves it's job of lethally harming your body.

life is a fucking disease.

Could not agree less. The more often an election is shoved under these scumbags in power, the more they will take into account their policies affect on public opinion, and, if one is implemented that is not to the public's best interest, an election will hand that policy to an opposing party on a platter to use as fodder for debates allowing them an easy win and the ability to change that policy, placing a promised improved one in its place.

It is a conscious choice, yes, just like it's a conscious choice for people who are participants in the culture of the American south to eat a lot of unhealthy food. In both cases, the individual does the bad thing because they live within a certain culture. But when a Black person becomes rich, say, and moves into a white neighbourhood, they don't continue to rob stores. On the other hand, hip hop artists who become rich, but, being hip hop artists, are still embedded in an enclave of black, poor people's culture retain certain violent tendancies, continue to do hard drugs, buy illegal firearms, and so on.
And they certianly need our help to escape this cycle, especially at a time when political correctness tells them they should be proud of their culture, however destructive. Saying they need to help themselves out of the situation is ignoring the fact that over the course literally millions of years, black cultures have not managed to become productive like Europe and Asia did. It's basically the other side of the "everyone should be proud of their culture" coin.

Black people (for example) become engaged with black culture no matter who their parents are. Your family isn't your only exposure to culture, you know, it's a product of being black among black friends, being recognized as black by others, and seeing representations of black people in media.
>really don't understand how you came to this conclusion
Ockham's razor...?
There are tons of exceptions to the rule of "black culture" and other race-centric cultures. If you're saying that aspects of this culture are genetic, then you're saying that these exceptions are genetic freaks, or go against their genes. I'm saying that these people are doing the totally plausible thing of breaking away from a cultural enclave. It's a matter of logical leaps.
>>
>>7814436
but the differences run deeper than black and white and the "black culture" you're describing is a recent invention
I never implied that your race 100% determines your intelligence, just that there is a link and that it's genetic

>>7814457
It's possible, but saying that black people's intelligence is determined by genes when there is no specific gene to speak for is a little tenuous
"black culture" as we think of it now may have been invented recently, but the enclave itself has existed forever, and of course there is a distinctly African culture that exists in Africa and also has connections to modern black Americans.
They may have needed help emancipating themselves, but that's a different issue, since it was white people who enslaved them, and I genuinely do think that that was totally unjustified. It's directly our fault that they were deprived of agency in that case, but even so, you can see there how a specific mindset came to perpetuate itself within a certain race-centric culture without outside involvement, and how breaking black people out of that culture via emancipation improved them; freed slaves were all kinds of productive, but nobody put their slaves to work doing, like, accounting or anything like that.

well you understand that hedonism is never satisfying. so what do you do ?

=>you seek stillness. you stop having fantasies and try to be as still as possible, physically and mentally [which includes emotions]. to be still means to die, for the hedonist who thinks that hedonism is good.

but stillness does not lead you to death. stillness leads you happiness. Once you are still physically, you first notice that it brings discomfort, and then you notice that it is difficult to be still mentally. once you are resolute to strive for stillness, you stop feeling your material forms [which means the sensual endpoints of your consciousness] and become conscious of your consciousness.
then you notice that this state is just as hedonistic as the one that you describe: the hedonism of the body (and mind), in one word, the hedonism of senses.

then you remember that hedonism is the most despicable doctrine, so you continue to strive for stillness, which means letting go of your agitation.

Human work is largely obsolete, most of the jobs that are done by people should be done by machines, including high-skills jobs in areas like engineering and architecture. We should provide the people with welfare, and they should not be made to work unless they want to, or it is absolutely necessary for a human to do the job and not a machine.

Authoritarian communism is a better system of government than socialized capitalist democracy, but SCD will never go away, because every other system is doomed to eventually be overtaken by a revolution for SCD, and we should all come to peace with that and stop trying to revolt.

While it’s still advisable to pursue a career in STEM, humans working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics are most susceptible to being made obsolete by technology.

We are moving towards a societal model where sex once again only happens in serious monogamous relationships, since people outside of those contexts are afraid of sex. This is a good thing, since sex is just as obsolete as, say, hunting. If simulated sex (i.e. masturbation) can replicate the real thing accurately enough, that’s just as good, and in fact better, since it doesn’t demand social interaction.

Most of philosophy is useless, not because it doesn’t have STEM-like practical applications, but because it investigates things that have no bearing on anything in any way. Take Berkeley for example: if his theory of the world is true, as opposed to the one I accept now, I simply would not care.

I'm willing to defend Tumblrinas' right "non gender conforming" identities against bigotry, not because I think it's a real thing that isn't a choice– because it is a choice– simply because I adamantly don't care, and I'm angry at people who make other people's identities their business.

>fantasy

there is nothing fantastic about pursuing the sublime. The sublime is defined on a personal level.

Even the above statement is not necessarily absolutely true though, what is sublime tends to be similar across individuals with variations dependent on philosophical outlook. Example: be detached/be passionate.

Self actualization is by and large tremendously similar across people from the same culture group, with the only differences being how we get there.

With this in mind the only conclusion is that the nature of reality means that self actualization is defined and reached through our relationships with others and with ourselves.

>that you chase because it makes you feel good
this is the chicken and egg argument. It is impossible to resolve. We do not know whether you feel good because you do something, or you feel good because you decided to do something and afterwards did it. Or your feelings about something led you to feel good about doing it and feel good while and after having done it.

There is no escape, you cannot use a lack of knowledge as an argument for a position

>makes you avoid the disappointment what remains in your life, once you stop taking it seriously

>Once you stop chasing after the sublime, you will find dissapointment in your life
so we are in complete agreement that I am right? Why are you arguing against that which you agree to?

there is no reason to believe that something your mind produces is not worth clinging too, and would forcefully argue that in fact the opposite is true in this value statement

-The vast-majority of human actions are egoistic, i.e. "selfish;" however, selfishness isn't inherently-negative or positive, as it's been constantly portrayed as.

-People need to really shut up about philosophy because, too often, it's nonsensical remarks and wasted thinking -- basically, what Wittgenstein felt about being silent but extended.

it is impossible to quantify to what extent a specific action serves ones self and to what extent it serves others to any respectable level of accuracy. Also altruism is a thing.

Interesting. I'm not sure why that did not occur to me. Probably because literally every second of exposure that I've had pertaining to terrorism has been in the context of it being perceived as a dastardly, sick, unacceptable act.

But I see how it can be used as a means to achieve an end that isn't so evidently wicked.

My question however, give me some examples where it was employed effectively by an oppressed class for ends that were purely contained to being lifted out of oppression? When has it ever worked without further damaging consequences?

Only God knows the objective righteousness and value of all things, therefore anything considered to be objective by human standards is inherently subjective or paraxically objective and subjective at the same time.

Imagine a social idea. Right wingers support it, while Leftists oppose it. Both provide very good arguments why it should/shouldn't be introduced as law, and since both sides have strong arguments therefore it comes to subjectivity whether it's good or bad idea. But even then, somebody HAS to be right, right? So the one's political stance becomes subjective (because he prefers it even though it has meaningful opposition) and objective (because in the end his stance is the correct one, although no one but God knows it truly, since others see it as their opinion).

>>7815656

Have you considered that there are things about which God doesn't have a judgment?

Have you also considered that God's judgment of a thing is very possibly totally beyond our human understanding?

Take your social idea. There's the two positions you described, and maybe it seems to us that those are the only two positions, because due to our limited knowledge they seem like the only two possible positions. But God's position can very well transcend that dichotomy in ways that seem impossible to us. In fact, the mere idea that a human could have access to God's truth (that one of the two human positions on the issue would match an omnipotent God's) is rather arrogant.

But I digress. Let's say I grant all of what you're saying:

1. God exists
2. God knows right
3. People exist and believe all sorts of shit
4. Some of what people believe matches up with God's knowledge, and some doesn't
5. People have no way to know whether or not what they believe matches up to God's knowledge
6. If what someone believes matches up to God's knowledge, then that belief is objectively right
7. If someone arrives at a belief due to their perspective and understanding, then that belief is subjective in nature

there's no real significance. the way you've constructed the words "subjective" and "objective" makes them non-mutually-exclusive. "objective" just becomes "it just so happens that God agrees with me, but nobody will ever know this, not even me." whereas "subjective" just becomes "this belief arose within a being with limited perception" which then describes all beliefs. it does not describe God's knowledge, because God does knows rather than believes.

Things do not actually exist. We just have names for specific constellations of matter that occure around us. Following this, even we ourselves do not exist, atleast not through time. The momentary "me" is just what past momentary "mes" have been floating into, and it has already floated into a new momentary me that is now finishing this sentence. All these momentary mes can fit the same relatively vague description, but the more you get into detail the more they differentiate from one another, to the point where every momentary me only fits one very specific description. Even so much as breathing in new oxygen particles or leaning a little bit to the left or thinking something else changes the constellation of the matter that makes up "me", so that a new "me" now exists.
It's basically mereological nihilism, and very severe reductionism. I guess the edgy part about it is that a consistent neccessity is moralistic relativism to the highest degree to the point where nothing really matters if we do not want it to matter.

In general a merely theoretical idea is worth nothing, only an executed one actually exists.
Let's say I own a piece of land. Saying that I own it means nothing if someone else is living in it. Even if I write on a piece of paper that I own the land and show it to the one using the land, if I don't have the means to stop the guy from using my land the piece of paper will be pointless. (I guess this kinda ties in to Stirner's idea of property, so, uh, I don't think I have to explain it any further.) Society obviously found ways to get people of other people's land, by having an executive force for ideas that are agreed upon by society.

Consciousnesses is horrible for people and the only way to end the suffering is have the human race go extinct.

Just killing yourself is not enough because we are all the same consciousness divided by our egos which are destroyed by death. Effectively we are reincarnated, although more accurately you were always everyone and now just have a new ego that gives you an illusion of being a different person.

You appear confused. You say life is not about pleasure and suffering but then you say how feel true satisfaction. 'True satisfaction' is pleasure, it is a positive mental state that is wanted.

Basically you're saying hedonism is shit, and then turning around and saying how to achieve the highest pleasure.

>Remember, death is momentary, glory is eternal

No, it isn't. Glory lasts for a few weeks at most, unless you do something truly incredible. And even then it will end at your death, and will only continue to exist for a few hundreds, in a repeatedly copied and mutated story which is passed between individual people's minds. You can't experience eternal glory, because once you're dead you can't feel anything. Ever.

and in support of this as well, ask what is the single greatest prediction of suicide? so if we have a group of people, what trait can we use to predict who is most likely to suicide?

the answer is a previous suicide attempt. Single greatest predictor of completed suicide there is.

quite clearly a lot of people aren't glad they didn't survive, and try to kill themselves again.

Empiricism is a trap: everything in the physical world is entirely relative. In contrast, nothing in the mental world is subjective. Morality, or the attempt to apply mental laws to physical entities, being a creation of the mental realm, is entirely objective.

I believe that I am the god of half of reality, as I am omniscient and omnipotent within the mental realm. My thoughts are the only thoughts.

I belive that all physical bodies are thoughts currently existing within the conception of the demiurge, just as all mental bodies are my currently extant thoughts.

I believe that discontent stems from feelings we two entities hold toward each other: mixing the physical and mental realms is a Bad And Impossible Thing, so I can live an Objectively Good Life by ensuring the mental realm does not resemble the physical.

Since morality is a mental construct and my thoughts are the entire mental realm, any belief I hold defines Objective Moral Law.

Humanity would be much better off (more passionate in life, more willing to suffer, more just, more self-respecting) if people were willing to kill. This seems to me the most fundamental absence of what could be called a uniquely human characteristic: the willingness to carefully plan out and act upon their wishes to murder immoral, corrupt, or otherwise incompatible people--its too rare and too underused. Its amazing and somewhat depressing that so few people supremely disliked are murdered.

Philosophy was the death of civilization; it is philosophy that we look to for guidance on our path to achieving the ideal society.

The death of civilization occurred at the exact moment of Gaius Julius Caesar's death - the death of a man who was divinely predetermined to conquer and rule the unified Italy, and world.
It was Brutus, inspired by Plato, a purported founder of philosophy that allowed this. Ergo, Plato, and Platonism destroyed civilization.
This exact action has rippled throughout history, where Brutus is seen as a hero overcoming a great tyrant - let it be said that Caesar's death was a great tragedy, and in fact, the greatest tragedy to befall mankind.

Modern society remains fractured, fragmented, kaleidoscopic, debased, profligate, and situated in the greatest moral dark age in centuries. In these times, we can look only to philosophy for guidance. The astute philosopher of the modern era decrees objectivity and any sense of strong moral compass and finds validity in every philosophy and political system, so that it may offer them an escape from the dark age.

From his perspective, Fascism, Communism, Liberalism, and Anarchism must be as valid as one another on the road to the ideal society - the road to the benevolent dictator who protects his power, and the rights, culture, and society of his citizens.
