/phi/ - Philosophy A board for pretentious debates on epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and logic.

Apply them to anything: Science, sex, your mom's cooking. No topic is too sacred or profane.
Consider this your haven where being a self-righteous, over-analytical asshole is encouraged.

What isn't allowed:

1. /b/, /x/, or /rnb/. Go spew your unhinged rants elsewhere.
2. Brainless drivel. If you can’t string two coherent thoughts together, take it to Twitter X.
3. Claims without arguments. "Because I say so" or "because you're gay" doesn’t count as reasoning. Repeatedly trolling and bait replies without substance will be banned.

Global rules apply. No, you can’t argue your way out of a ban for being an idiot. Add to the conversation, don't detract from it.

This thread is for discussion of the validity of religion(s) and arguments for and against the existence of god/gods.

Any other new posts about this subject will be deleted, or locked and referred to this one.

New threads about religious concepts that play inside their own ruleset are allowed, and we kindly ask that you refrain from turning those well meaning threads into arguments about religion as a whole.

Thomas Malthus's theory posits that competitiveness is an inevitable outcome of the struggle for existence. Why some of us seem to be lacking it? Why some people are just too lazy or too depressed to compete for anything? Sometimes we just want to survive on the bare minimal resources, avoiding effort at all costs.

Compete in what?
People suck. I'd compete if they didn't, but only for fun and games, not to actually destroy or diminish anyone, just to have fun together. Which requires trust and good faith..
I can't really compete with the forest or the sky, I just appreciate them. I don't even know why I would want to, they are cool things that I find beautiful, if I could in any way I'd rather contribute to them, but for the most part that is above my pay grade, I can only observe them from afar and admire.

And I guess it's self-evident from the post, but I'm not a believer in game theory or traditional idea of evolution. I mean I see the logic in it, but I think it's for monkeys not for the thinking man. Socrates embodied it. Who are you competing against let alone who are you posturing for if you are drinking henbaine? Or was it, what was it that he drank - hemlock. I think it just paralyzes your body until you cannot breathe. Really? For posturing? I don't think so. That shit came from the heart. And it's definitely not for survival. And he may not have been the perfect man, but to me, more than just a monkey. Call me racist, I guess I don't give that much of a fuck about the human race. Let the niggers populate it and reap what they sow.

Apparently there is a strong aversion within the scientific community regarding how consciousness tends to go beyond regular cause and effect when you measure its influence on its surroundings. The materialistic interpretation of reality fails to explain why these unusual occurences exist and why you can never see a physical link between these events.

Are you convinced that there is only matter in this universe and nothing else?

The biggest issue is that they can only understand tangible concepts like numbers and equations. Immaterial minds are impossible to grasp but what's worse is that they're face blind too. Like trying to communicate with a machine that is totally alien to the human experience.

In regards to the below excerpt-- should the ruler be an individual or an insular clique, then yes, they'll elevate themselves above the /masses/ and /liberate/ themselves so as to indulge at will and without restraint, however, should rule be vested in the populace, then the rulers (the people) will elevate themselves above humanity (namely it's carnal proclivities), however, should that rule not apply equally, then tyranny and trickle-down corruption.

"Sima Tan described the fa school (Fajia) as emphasizing administrative protocols that ignore kinship and social status, treating everyone equally and thereby elevating the ruler above humanity"

There has never been a system of governance without an elite core at the helm.

Perhaps optimists would simply ascribe their condition to complacency, and the point is moreso that the governing elite (a (highly) subjective term) must be held to account/standards (regardless of their role).

~

To be sure, indulgence is an inevitability, in hereditary systems you can have a philosopher king one day and a tween-tyrant the next, and in less pompous might-makes-right (or more aptly, barbarism-makes-dumb) regimes their very nature rewards and necessitates depravity/regression/intolerance which is ultimately deleterious to society, certainly modern complex (socially and technically) ones. Indeed, is there a modern civilization that employs such governance, that is not materially/culturally impoverished (even if they have a superficial facade to the contrary)?

Most philosopher-kings were tyrants. And in hereditary system of government, most “tween tyrants” are only working on behalf of a vice-regent.

what is longing other than protracted (and often unattainable) lust?

certainly a core emotion/trait to engrain/foster in a capitalist system, that's not to say, nor expected, that everyone ought to strive (a variant of longing?) for some aesthetic ideal... rather, a healthy/keen ability to discern frivolous shit and define oneself/others by the merit of their actions/character as opposed to their material accessories~ maybe.

nor is it advocacy for socialism, direct gov control of industry, or communism/collective-ownership (though sharing/cooperation is usually virtuous)-- hm, subsidized industry is indirect socialism? a free-market absolutist would argue that an enterprise should/must be allowed to succeed or fail on its own, why is it the role of government to provide welfare to an uncompetitive company (indeed, seems to only reward incompetitiveness-- a macro version of not wanting or needing to seek employment when you get a foodstamps, ya know)? To maintain employment? Is that not the precise function of a free market, to enable companies who can compete to replace those who can't... well, seemingly antiquated notions of nation-states and borders and such, aside. :/

Define problem and I'll give you solutions, if I'm capable, now it sounds like you're just talking.

But if you ask me how to run society or civilization, I don't have the answer, to pretty much anything. Other than that if you consider yourself a good person, you should be powerful and capable. That's it. For now. The fog of war is too thick. But in a sense, yes, there is a war. But, if there is going to be a moment of clarity and the fog is lifted, even for just a minute, and I feel like such a moment will come, we will need the good men to be capable, because if that opportunity comes, yet we don't have the ones to fill in the roles, well, that opportunity might come only briefly or only once. I have an intuition that it will come.. and within our lifetimes. A RARE opportunity that usually doesn't show up for hundreds or thousands of years. Prepare for that, not by building a tribe or a family, prepare it for it by building yourself. No one will agree with you on your politics and your metaphysics. No one. Yet collaboration is worth it. It's just that right now the fog of war is too thick to know what to collaborate on.. for the most part.. there may be a thing of or two, but BUILD YOURSELF, for the most part.. as you put yourself on the trajectory of those one or two things.

Overall though, all of this is barely of any importance in the grand scheme of things. Because... the grand scheme of things.. is rather grand.

An philosophical consideration of economics and governance.

bros, fiat currency be built upon complex bureaucratic/technical systemS and crapto all the more so. And, any material stores of wealth are subject to depletion and/or entropy (natural or/and anthropomorphic)... and if dat shit ain't food, it's intrinsic value rests solely upon faith that it can be exchanged for food.

Which brings us to the importance of stable/rational good-faith actors of semi-at-least competence, /wise/ if you're given to idealism (wild,、 should you subscribe to cynicism in the modern mode)~

bros before hoes, but sometimes bros can be hoes, in the infidelity/treasury sense, so ya know, trust and discernment
