It makes perfect sense. If you want to argue that meat is unethical, appeal to how people are disgusted by animal abuse, slaughter house footage, people eating animals we'd consider pets in the west, and point of peoples hypocrisy. If you know anything about ethics this should be the easiest debate in your life. If you want to appeal to authority, Singer is probably the most well-known advocate for animal rights academically.

You can reformulate any apparently self-less acts, as a selfish one. "Compassion" is just satisfying your own empathy, piety is just satisfying the innate drive you have for being pious. When you're talking about altruism, you're usually talking about empathy, or stuff that plays on group selection ect. Even though all altruistic acts are done to serve someones own preferences, altruism is still a useful term.

Wrong. Descriptive egoism is irrelevant in metaethics.

Its dumb. Just a VERY PRIMITIVE MAN trying to think about stuff, but not having the tools to do so properly. Serious philosophy started with Kant.

It's called being informative. If you want to passively absorb historical information with little effort, just read a historical novel.

You only have one life. Interesting times ahead. Even if you're not a supergenius, you still have the ability to push history in a positive direction. Travel to china. Blow up the CPC

I'm very happy with life, and I'm the most happy when I'm completely lucid/sober, like after meditation, or when I'm sitting on the tram, just gazing out the window.


Also, I saw the thread you deleted.

Hegel constructs a reason from a dialectical system without presupposing logic. Also, if you do a hundered grams of shrooms, you'll see beyond the principle of non contradiction. Its a USEFUL concept, so "refuting it"? You'll have come up with a more precise defenition of that

Well, almost any human would do that, so thats more of a misanthropic position. I still disagree though, because nations are a small part of someones culture. Its possible to move to america and retain most of your heritage, so someone saying they're proud to be american, might still've kept their original thinking.

Just read older stuff. If it was written by a white man before 2005 its kosher.

I agree america is degenerate and a tumor on the human zeitgeist. We need an united europe, china needs to be nuked, and we need to accelerate the protectionist pseudo-fascist trends seen in bernie and trump. Zizek talks a lot about this.

Dumb, evola is geopolitcal suicide.

me too, except white americans who say they're proud to be american.

>having a professor give a lecture and have occasional chats with phds is the same as having LITERALLY THOUSANDS of PHDS who are STARSTRUCK by him and will literally SUCK HIS DICK spending hundereds of hours just compilating the VERY BEST of sources, then SPOON FEEDING him the information in a way that makes it THE EASIEST to understand.

Sorry, you're just mad that he has a deeper understanding of the topics you are passionate about even though hes spent FAR LESS time than you have studying it.

Thats literally what anthropology and history is. You can read something like sapiens, which is interesting but very basic. In general its such a wide topic that you cant find books that write about it generally without being superficial.
