Are you using racial slurs because our cultural standards have been BTFO by a lack of God and thus you resort to this?

“The Death of God is about the drying up of a horizon of meaning, and of a whole form of human life. And about Nietzsche’s both fear and exhilaration at what might come next. We still to a large extent live in the interregnum between worlds, if you will, or between paradigms. Not many people in the history of the world have faced that; lived in periods like that.“

Ever see the amount of spite in this place? 4chan is just a microcosm.

Look at how much negativity is on social media. Look at how many people you know who post all day, every day.

There is a lot of good will on 4chan and social media too. But I wouldn't place much weight on either place because they both by nature will attract a lot of miserable people.

Morals are necessary for society, faith is necessary to maintain those morals (you need God as a collateral).
God being dead basically means that society is doomed.

I can't speak of my friend N, but for me God is seriously dead. That's because of my interest in, and co-evolution with, evolutionary biology and a few other fields. He is dead to me for other reasons too, because of personal (philosophical or ideological) issues with the Abrahamic religion. But even if I wanted to believe in God, I can't, it would be larping. That's why the whole neopagan, new age, neoshamanism etc. is also larping. Though some people are so high in schizotypy they don't have to larp. Now the belief in UFOs, that's some of that real ubermensch stuff. It is spontanous, whereas neopagan and all that shit is more like a forced meme.

But I feel as if many of our holy grails, whatever it comes from our high-priests (economic, technolocial or cultural) or from the folk (think folk biology, folk psychology, folk physics and so on) should be dead with the developments in science.

For example, rationalism should be dead. Human exceptionalism should be dead. Heck, with cognitive biases (the murderer of rationalism), biological political science and neurotheology, maybe Atheism should be dead too.

And all those advances in our understanding of the world could lead to kinds of nihilism too. Like biological nihilism. Or cognitive nihilism.

Maybe we need to reconstruct absolutes arbitrarily and then enforce them on the general public via inquisitorial tribunals to recreate meaning?
