Philosophy thread

By the way, this thread is special--because you guys can pick the topic. If the topic is hot, you'll get a lot of (you)'s.

And of course discussion of multiple topics is perfectly fine. We could have 2, 3, or even more topics going on at once in this thread.

Just try to remain logical and civil.

Come on guys. This thread is your pecan.

God Existss.

Do you mean "God" like in the Christian Bible, or the God of Spinoza, or perhaps some other conception of God?

Every single belief is based off axioms you can't prove and therefore relies on faith

It is no less absurd to proclaim GOD EXISTS than it is to believe the Earth revolves around the Sun

>>34083613

Well, some beliefs reduce to circular reasoning or to an ever-growing regress.

But I do see your point.

Drawing and paintings are wrong because they're not actually the picture being shown, they're a lie, cleaned up.

People should only paint colors and lines, because those are real.

>the orbit of the solar system isn't based on a belief
Do you not believe in the empirical evidence which you use to conclude your belief that the earth revolves around the sun?

Everything is a "belief" you fucking retard

Please do not respond to incivility with more incivility. I really want to keep this thread decent.

Personal attacks are literal poison to philosophical discussions. They actually cause measurable chemical changes in the brain that distort peoples' ability to think.

Nothing matter in the end as long you enjoy yourself. So get the most of life by indulging yourself in pleasure and keeping yourself busy with hobbies.

Because everything else is bullshit.

>>34083434
How do you know that. How can you convince someone else?

The entire world exists only as a construct of my imagination and everything will stop existing when I die.

>>34084157

Can you prove that "you" even exist as a discrete entity?

>>34084157
But what if death itself is imaginary? What if there's something you have to do with all of this crazy shit you've conjured?

Dialectical materialism is the most effective theoretical framework for explaining the course of history, the structure of society, and its cyclical crises.

Should I drop out if I don't get pleasure out of university? I only get sadness and guilt

Are there souls of souls?

>>34084872
Will that sadness and regret increase if you dropout? If yes then your answer is no

>>34084872

Can't you just choose to be happy?

Ah yes, but it wise to delay gratification if you will receive more gratification?

Or should the present only care for the present?

You're a fucking faggot piece of shit

What if it's souls all the way down?

Philosophy is a hall of mirrors. For the smart, but easily waylaid mind

Real intellectuals get into math and science.
That's right you fucking faggots, you have to do math. Stop being lazy pieces of shit
