Oh don't be mistaken, it's rather endearing to see, and yes, this is relatively better than guenonfaggotry, but it is still our prerogative to mock your claims at every turn. Such is the nature of this place. Kinda like a very abusive socratic discourse.

You'll learn to love Him in time, anon.

>How can God have known that Adam was going to eat the fruit and also Adam have eaten it out of free will?
Why do you see a contradiction in those terms? I don't... Can't you yourself predict the actions of free agents up to a certain degree of accuracy?
All these contradictions in the mind of non-Catholics stems from the simple fact that they don't understand that God and his Creation are radically, eidetically different. Perfection is an attribute of God, therefore perfectibility cannot, by definition, be one. God, for whatever purpose we believe we must trust him with, did not want to create more perfection, because that would have entailed creating more of Himself. He created something radically different, imparted it with Grace through its benevolence, and let it go, occasionally acting in it as to guide it, and imparting it with the Revelation in due time, so that we could act according to his Will.
God seemingly wishes us to reach back a state of Grace that is both immanent and transcendent, rather than one of the other. That process is ethico-historical, and so must be our understanding of the meaning of the Revelation.
Our destiny is to create Arcadia on Earth, and gain access to Heaven in death. God wants us to become the Gardeners of Eden, in accordance to our greatest duty and most glorious achievement, that of universal love.

> 1If I speak in the tongues a of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, b but do not have love, I gain nothing.

> 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

> 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

> 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

While it isn't inaccurate, it doesn't disprove the value of bourgeois concerns.

You clearly never had a family who cared enough about you to instill in you a sense of sophistication and aesthetics. A proper man raises his boys to always display himself properly, in a way that inspires both strength and confidence. In the same way, he insures that his daughters are always displayed as elegant and visually pleasing. He cares about the appearance of his wife, and would never let her be taken in picture looking like such a fucking pig.
If you can't recognize this, you were raised by subhumans, regardless of whatever madness about race or ancestry you cooked up.

Kek. /lit/ has a few tripfags, they are generally hated. Also, a woman. Butters is probably the most visible because she is *always* on. CUMGENIUS is imho infinitely worse. If you can't deal with insipid neechum-obsessed (and misreading) lesbian normie, but an actual pedo fag that capslock everything is fine, I wanna fucking throw you in the oven right along with him.

To go any futher, you will have to explain to me why I, a pureblooded, straight Frog, should care about keeping the number of South Korean qts down in my vicinity.

Buy land, then build a house.

Fuck off there's never been a better time to find a remote job.

>it’s a matter of usefulness to one’s understanding.
The important point being that ones understanding of anything cannot be separated from our being plugged into the social machines in our world
The modern scientific framework is a much richer model from which to predict the physical world than ancient folk medicine.
It’s a much richer model to us. Also worth noting ancient Egyptian medicine had complex brain surgery as a part of its folk medicine. The only difference between the man of today and our ancestral world is electricity, the brains are still the same, the segmentarity of states is still very much the same.

There was a thread earlier this week, "Has anyone here meditated starting from first principles?" where I gave an answer, looking for feedback, pls, no bully.

> There is a "given"
> The "given" is subject to local autopoiesis, leading to the emergence of interiority/exteriority.
> Thus part of this "given" can be put in position relative to other parts based on this dichotomy.
> The conjunction of the particularities of the autopoeisis of two given and their relationship based on their relative position to one another constitute the relational point-of-view of those givens.
> Objectivity constitutes itself from a comprehensive systematization of point-of-views.
