/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.

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. :/

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.

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)?

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?

That's not how science works. There is no tangible evidence that proves all species on this planet share the same ancestors. It's conjecture.

>the amphibian tympanic membrane. probably including that of labyrinthodonts. is not ancestral to that of amniotes. and that labyiinthodonts with an otic notch are not suitable as amniote ancestors

Just a friendly reminder that there is no proof that vertebrates evolved from amphibians and that the fossil record does not support the scenario of some random fish-lizard crawling up on land and suddenly evolve lungs out of nowhere.

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

A couple thought experminnents in the philosophy of politics, if you will.

Generally speaking, a Caucasian bro, upon learning of his hoe "binge watching bbc", will flip his shit and do everything he can to tear her down (to say the least)...

... so, let's consider America (whose personification is female, deal with it) is metaphorically violated by the bbc (Barak Obama in this metaphor)... it stands to reason that the same outcome as perviously stated would occur, yes?

Second, perhaps Justice is blind only for the sole purpose of enabling those framers and custodians of Justice to get away with illicit-shit. A subversion, but wut ain't?

Saddam "Alabama" Hussein was supposed to be elected as the next Mayor of our idyllic little town in the rocky mountains. We were surrounded by forests on all sides for a good 100 miles - not a soul in sight, except an occasional indjiun or perhaps a small gold mining operation. Many men in our town of 3000, many would have killed for that position - here - it guaranteed the attention of the best young sluts in town. Make no mistake - they were sluts even if they went to church every day and sang in the Church's choir.
Saddam was supposed to be that man - chose his wife with true abundance and freedom and with her superior health and genes - ensure the continuation of his particular "code". His life was cut short by a band of bandits. Well, in that town there were no bandits, but these were wandering men and boys that simply wanted to have a brawl at the bar. Hussein tried to play a hero, an unlikely one because he was actually an arab, nevertheless, his desire to operate on principles caused him not only his life, but the life of all of his progeny that were supposed to be. What a shame and what a pity. I suppose we'll just have to live amongst scumbags now, because this seems to be what is being selected for. Fair enough, but I'm a survivor - we are a dying breed - let that be your lesson, young Padawan. Carry this as a badge of honor. Going forward, you will see less and less of those like you. And you, just by choosing to be that way - you are putting yourself in danger's way - actually cutting your life, cutting your journey here - short. So when you walk or stand, stand tall with your head up high and your chest puffed and your eyes fixed towards the sky, not the common folk, because trust me - the further you go, the less and less you will see people actually worthy of walking around like that, the less and less you will see people actually worthy of walking on the same Earth as you.. And you will be killed, sooner...
Good luck.

Fascism is only, and always, an aesthetic.

It dresses itself in whatever the prevailing cultural/governance attire is at hand, and rapidly debases both. Then, in a frenzy of lust, they parade stark naked with only a cloak of simple-minded, and duly outmoded, chieftain "civics" and crowns wrought of a facsimile of the culture from which they spawned, certainly kitsch is much to frivolous, and kind, a term. Their buffoonish gait rendered all the more absurd as they struggle to maintain a coherent bearing, what with those beautiful crowns constantly slipping over their eyes and all... and all the while, their divinely ornated leader drones on, and beckons them to their graves-- and they bleat in joyous obedience (which is better than bliss, mind you).
