n-no!! I read Storm of Steel! War is poetic no matter what! I'm just going to fucking believe in a cause no matter how stupid and low it is because I am a fucking idiot who does not have his own values!

Do you really believe this world is actually worthy? Or are you just telling yourself it is because it's much easier that way? I will tell you what the only escape from this fucking idiot world is. It is not to believe in anything. It is not to say yes, for yes's sake. It is to say NO. The ass says yes to any burden or task, no matter how stupid. You are an ass.

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's not fair I have to work now. This is another fucking holocaust. How dare you, you monster. My dad never made me work and I was supposed to run the family business one day. What the fuck. I don't want to be out here in the FRICKIN fields all sweaty and like working all day? This is too far dude, too far, too harsh. my dad was a good man, he gave people good oppertunites. $10.00 and 30 hours a week, and the landlord only charged $1000 a month, which they could afford with a few roommates. hell, he even paid recent COLLEGE GRADS 30k starting, fuck. Now you make me go in the frickin farms and get calluses? no it doesn't matter if I don't have psychological stress to the point where it drives me to despair, or that there is a roof and three meals a day, no, no no no no no !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was better before. this isn't fair. let me go be a party member, please, I studied Marx in college, please dudes.

>Do you realize you're just pointing how OP is right? He did even said anything political, all he said is how normie opinions are taking control of places that used to be extremely edgy and contrarian. You're who immediately getting triggered on the mere mention of PC.

>Either you think theres possible access to that outside kants view or you dont.
depends on what you mean by Kant's view.
I don't think synthetic a priori knowledge is possible, and thus disagree that any scientific metaphysics must be grounded in its understanding. however I do agree with kant that any scientific metaphysics, that is, any metaphysics that isn't a total waste of time, must be grounded by an understanding of what metaphysical knowledge is, and how metaphysical propositions are correctly evaluated. that last view is the one I was originally referring to.
>Either you think it's possible to directly experience metaphysics, or you don't.
this is besides the point, the question is about how metaphysics is to be laid on a scientific footing and thus serve as an adequate vessel for truth.
>You can't empirically test it, by definition, so it depends.
>Are you an empiricist?
>Are you a rationalist?
im a mere Peircean so far. I do have naive hopes that sellars's attack on the given will help alleviate the burden of being a peirceian, im almost ready for it.
>Meditate and whatnot, test it for yourself.
you're not helping me or your case

the desire to return to the safety of the waters that taught you how to swim , but now is only a stagnant, yet safe, pool to swim around in. instead of progressing to venture into the deep end, and explore, right wingers prefer to splash around in the familiar shallows.
rightism is a hugbox. sorry I made the dumb swimming allegory, I got distracted. its basically wanting to play your fathers role and fuck your mommy instead of going out for yourself. you should get it now
