He said profound. Did you add in the "-ly incorrect" yourself, or do you just live in an urbanized area?

Computers are winners but they don't know it.

We call a person "honest." Why did he act so honestly today? we ask. Our answer usually sounds like this: because of his honesty. Honesty! That is to say again: the leaf is the cause of the leaves. After all, we know nothing of an essence-like quality named "honesty"; we know only numerous individualized, and thus unequal actions, which we equate by omitting the unequal and by then calling them honest actions. In the end, we distill from them a qualitas occulta [hidden quality] with the name of "honesty." We obtain the concept, as we do the form, by overlooking what is individual and actual; whereas nature is acquainted with no forms and no concepts, and likewise with no species, but only with an X which remains inaccessible and undefinable for us.

History is a shockwave of eschatology. Human race stands in the middle of an ever-fluid world, in which a manichean struggle between meaning and its absence takes place (however, this description is painfully reductionistic, to the point where it almost totally misses the mark).

That's Jayden smith, you retard.

>>6467099
Agreed. I'd even go so far as to compare it to Fundyism in terms of how rabid the followers are.

All people have the same essence of spirit inside them, because this is the primal nature of existance. When you close your eyes and for a brief moment your thoughts cease; in that exact second when you're not plagued by thoughts, you are your essential being. Thoughts are conditioned and subjective, they get twisted around because of ego. This raw form is crying to get out, and almost as a fog that covers this one tiny spot in the vast universe, and maybe a few others, it is morphed into different forms like an actor wearing a mask. Though each character he plays must act different, the same essential soul is behind each of those vastly different forms, the brave warrior, the sassy black woman, the lowly cuckold, all have the same soul when played by him, but his form is drastically different for each.

I don't know how to end paragraphs

The grave is the hungriest of beasts. It's appetite for life can not be abated or deterred. You cannot bargain with it, you cannot train it, you cannot kill it. It's maw devours everything and can never shut. It is a boorish and silent master we all must obey.

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

the distinction and classification of humans and other animals was invented by humans themselves

"monkeys" as a category of animals did not pre-exist humans coming along and making those distinctions

to say "we are monkeys" is to completely misunderstand how biological classification works, and the history behind it, as well as history in general

you seem to think that classification of animals pre-existed humans coming up with the classification system, "we're just talking monkeys bro hahah flying on a rock through space" is an utterly idiotic statement and ay of looking at things. You have no understanding of how biology, history, and historiography functions.

Define "profound"

>>6472163

In terms of career, yes it does. Lack of intellect is hazy, and it could mean whatever you want.

But if you live within Capitalism, vague standards of intelligence in a social darwinistic way are used. Economically, the idiots be the workers while the thinkers go to college and exist to think and prosper, in any economy people in poverty can be blamed for their own ignorance and inability of work ethic, or whatever is most convenient.

We categorize people based on potential resource. We have for quite a while now.

>intelligent people tend to do better than dumb people

what an observation!

>>6472079

This is true, but intelligence allows people to retain a much wider and farther view of their prospects and opportunities; Bernie Madoff or Mark Zuckerberg, smart people hold insights to unexplored economic territories to exploit, and in doing so create jobs for 'less qualified' people. Stupid people, on the other hand, have the innate proclivity to be told what to do, and they're often happy doing it (so long as its 'worth the money,' so to speak). The point I'm trying to get at I guess is that while the lack of intelligence of the individual should not degrade his or her 'making' or 'breaking,' economic success, resourcefulness, etc. in society, the aggregate intelligence of a people, in how they use their resources of which sub-average people are one, does in fact determine the success of the individual, and consequently the social body. Or something like that. But, the term "trickle down stupidity" comes to mind.

>>6472253

We need an economic system that does not punish people for breathing, yes. People have a fundementla right to survive and not exist in poverty, whoever denies them that right has structural power over them, power to exploit, to shape an entire life. Power that shouldn't be in the hands of people within the economy, and shouldn't exist as automated tides resting on number games.

Human beings have no more worth than one another.

>>6472682

And you're not taking it to its logical conclusions.

>>6472709

There is no difference in most basic mind than the most bourgeois economic intelligentsia and a homeless man, both are products of the rules that shape power relations. One does, and one does not. The bourgeois is just a victim of his own pestilent wealth, in that he may have structural power, but that structural power owns him and his life and it will always put him in such a strict role of affluent. As if this is a play.

There is no difference in emotions. To claim that the two are almost seperate beings, the "stupid' being menial and happy and the bourgeois being bourgeois for intelligence (not true btw), it places them in a false dichotomy. Both are the same in that both are placed within their respective roles for nothing more than resource allocation.

Human beings are only worth as much as they can labor, still. It is not a more efficient world of each according to your ability (at bare minimum), but to each according to capacity of labor, labor treated as a resource, us, man, treated as a resource.
