And all you do is post words on the internet to cope with your inability to live a life worth living. Same as them, same as me. Yawn.

>>22920304
yet here you stand wanting attention and ego stroking. Make sure to tell your wife's boyfriend someone made fun of you sweetheart

>>22920320
>>22920324
That is not a book about the idea

>>22920304
If you’re implying you come up with your own value system, from what I’m seeing here you might want to keep it to yourself. You might unironically benefit from cuckoldry to sort your shit out.

>>22920304
what kind of retard shows up 200,000 years late and acts like he fucking knows everything? you stand on the shoulders of giants. learn your place you faggot teenager.

>>22920345
The book is called Life. Maybe you should consider living it instead of reading about it.

>>22920304
Post your "value system"

>>22920403
>>22920361
Black and white fallacy
>>22920408
So life will show me that religious people are cucks?

There really should be philosophy/religion board that would keep all of you niggers clear from /his/ and /lit/

>>22920304
Says the guy who is following the moral system of other men instead of his own. What hypocrisy

>>22920504
If you actually lived it, yes. But you won't and can't because you cannot control your circumstances. You are at the behest of billions of others slaves showing up to work and doing what they do.

>>22920304
>uses the words of other men to develop his own value system

>>22920504
All you did was post a shitty analogy without explaining what you mean by having your own “value system”, yet you have the nerve to pretend like you’ve identified a fallacy in my reply. Did you learn what a fallacy is in your debate 101 elective in high school and think you know how to practice philosophy now? That’s typically what people like you who act like their “trap card has been activated” do. Good job in refusing to justify yourself and ironically outsourcing your ethics to this board, making you the biggest cuck of us all.

>>22920557
Words need to be held in common in order to there be communication, which is the point of words.
Morals is not like that
>>22920531
Sorry I don't understand. You seem to be on some sort of emotional psychosis. I will let you calm down then you can rephrase your statement.
>>22920633
>what you mean by having your own “value system”
For starts, deciding through reason whether it is okay to drink alcohol or use condoms, not following whatever some other guy says.
>Did you learn what a fallacy is in your debate 101
You didn't because you committed a very basic one :P

>>22920662
You’re literally committing that fallacy all the while priding yourself on (incorrectly) spotting it in others and, icing on the cake, making the classic mistake of conflating the identification of a fallacy with having a point of your own. You are a unique brand of stupid, and there are better ways to seek attention without embarrassing yourself like this.

>>22920693
>You’re literally committing that fallacy all the while priding yourself
Where?

In non-oestrogenic wording:
>if you don't follow the moral code of another man to a T, that means you are making up everything
That is a black-white fallacy where you assume that you either make up all morals from scratch or fully take it from someone else, no inbetween

If you had any intelligence you would be able to make an argument instead of illogically screeching about how you are educated while making middle school tier mistakes

>>22920304
you've let zoomer-speak run a train so thoroughly on your frontal lobe you can belch out a putrid, cum crusted term like 'Moral Cuckoldry'.

>>22920779
Cuckoldry is not a zoomer term. It goes back to Middle English and ultimately goes back to French, a bird species.
You have to stop watching tiktok

Is /lit/ really the smartest board? So far, it seems /tv/ can present better thought out ideas

>>22920304
>Books that explore this idea?
Most of Emerson's lectures and essays, and practically all of Whitman's Leaves of Grass.
>I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd,
>I stand and look at them long and long.

>They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
>They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
>They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
>Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
>Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
>Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

>>22920802
I appreciate the rec but this does not seem related to OP

>>22920304
>instead of coming up with their own value system, they delegate that task to the religious authorities
Based.
Also the masses are stupid.

>>22920791
/pol/ ruined it like they do everything else.
I'm about to leave myself

>>22920807
It's definitely related to it. These two authors wrote about individualism non-stop. Emerson especially advocated for the giving up of the sort of delegation of faith/ethics/etc. which you talked about in the OP.
>Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.
>Whenever a mind is simple and receives a divine wisdom, old things pass away, — means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into the present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it, — one as much as another. All things are dissolved to their centre by their cause, and in the universal miracle petty and particular miracles disappear. If therefore a man claims to know and speak of God and carries you backward to the phraseology of some old mouldered nation in another country, in another world, believe him not. Is the acorn better than the oak which is its fulness and completion? Is the parent better than the child into whom he has cast his ripened being? Whence then this worship of the past?
>Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.

/his/ crossposters should be banned on sight

>>22920791
Using -cuck suffixes = terminally online.

>>22920845
to be fair, using the phrase "terminally online" sounds pretty terminally online

>>22920847
this, so much this, kind stranger

>>22920862
where's my gold?

>>22920876

>>22920802
what a fucking faggot

>>22920845
>>22920779
Cuck is not a suffix here, retardanon, it is a separate word

>>22921011
>religicucks
It’s a suffix.

>>22921021
Now you are complaining about the word religicuck, whereas you originally complained about moral cuckold
Honestly anon, we know how it runs, you will keep changing goalposts and topics until you can find a smug reply to claim the 'win' here
Consider having sex

>>22921039
> whereas you originally complained about moral cuckold
I never did.

Christcuckies on full meltdown at this thread

>>22920304
Are you a cuck for having to obey the law of the government written down by other men? Are you a cuck for accepting science written down by other men? What an odd view of the world.

>>22921299
>Are you a cuck for accepting science written down by other men
Science is not moral law
>Are you a cuck for having to obey the law of the government written down by other men?

why did you ban me

>>22920304
OP is a cuckold because instead of creating his own math he uses math created by other, wiser men in browsing his pc.

>>22921430
You have a point.

>>22921430
>>22921448
Samefag and you dont. This retarded fallacy has been repeated in this thread several times and debunked. None of the cucks replied back because their fallacy is evident.
