Does anyone have the /lit/ meme like this where it ends with the Leonardo Da Vinci 'Taken flight' quote?

"My claim is that there are right and wrong answers to moral questions, just as there are right and wrong answers to questions of physics"

Fuck Sam Harris and how he encourages people not to think. Let's leave aside the obviously problematic first part of that sentence about morals, and just look at the second.

"just as there are right and wrong answers to questions of physics."

Are there? There are right and wrong answers that operate within accepted theories of physics, but as any physicist worth their salt will tell you, the laws of physics - like other scientific phenomena - are based on observation within an accepted methodology. What we know, is the best that we can know, given what we can observe. To imply that physics is solved, and thus there can be right and wrong answers within it, is just reductive and stupid.

Taking that logic, since Newtonian physics gave us right and wrong answers within the discourse of Newtonian physics, Einstein should have never bothered to come up with the theory of relativity.

And that's just the issue with the part of the sentence Harris expects no reader to have issue with. His claims about morality are already retarded, but his attempts to induct them into a pantheon of 'right' and 'wrong' are even more so.

This is what people talk about when they criticise 'scientism.' Lazy, psuedo-intellectual beliefs that use science as the highest authority of appeal.

Q: Zizek, why do you believe in the death penalty?
A: Because Sam Harris is still alive.

My favourite one is this. Jesus Christ almost every panel is hilarious and some have more than 3 thing funny about them.

Remember when this board used to churn out hilarious comics?

Amen.

Sounds right, but I don't remember for sure.
But since search is down (can still use google or other search engines though) can't really look that easily.

What's happening to the world

the one and only
fine example of the mass hysteria that can be created around a single person, like celebrities.

much like celebs, D&E had nothind to offer us of any real value, he just cured us of our apathy.

I think Nietzsche is interesting because the terminology in his existentialism is "Übermensch" and "the death of God" et cetera, where many others have thought the same, they just didn't put it that way.

My main man is Kierkegaard, the same problem, everyone here in Denmark knows him and quite a few can talk about him, but noone have read his (beautiful and unique) work.

The term that god is dead only means, for me, that humankind shouldn't search for happiness in an eternal world but we should rather build heaven on earth.

I think Kierkegard's ideas could be just as popular, especially the ideas of free will. To understand Kierkegaard I had to read through large amounts of commentaries and biographies, and i can only imagine it would be the same with Nietzsche.
