The highest reality is that which cannot be simulated, but simulates. As simulations contain less information than before, the highest reality is not discrete, but continuous, undifferentiated existence.

That "morals" don't exist. It's all based on cultural norms of where/how you grow up.

The social proof is that cannibalism might be /morally/ repulsive to us in the West, but to the cannibal tribes of Papua New Guinea it's just normal and a way of life.

With that said, a society, as defined as a group of people, can get together and decide on a moral construct and build a set of morals, but at the end of the day it's a construct. They may be influenced by nature, but they are still constructed.

This isn't to say they don't have a purpose and shouldn't be promoted and adhered to as a concept, but we just need to understand this when we look at and analyze the world.

Words are cognitive heuristics that allow you to deal with bigger ideas using the same amount of focus and brainpower by treating extremely complicated and detailed things, things that are in fact made up of many distinct and conflicting parts, as discrete objects with a few key and straightforward properties.

For reference, consider the difference between trying to imagine the collective actions of millions of people and just saying 'society'.

'Society', in its common manner of use, is simpler than that which it signifies, no more complex and mentally taxing than water. Because in and of itself, without further elaboration, it's like a child's stuffed animal compared to a real life bear.

Yes. What word do you call things that are for example bird-made; made by birds? You know why we don't have words like that? Because unlike every other species, man has been given Reason/rationality and it allows us to mess with all other nature and do things that are unnatural. It also allows us to refuse our body's desires and purify our soul and bring us closer to the divine, which is what I believe is the purpose of this gift/curse of Reason. Sadly most people or almost nobody follow this natural purpose but exploit it to do unnatural things in order to feed their natural desires over the natural limits that creatures without Reason can't. That means to hide from suffering but gain pleasure and other such things.

I think that everything that's happening is destined to happen, but not because it is divinely inscribed to be so, but because it's the inevitable natural progression of reality. Humans are going into self-destruct mode because civilisation is a natural mechanism to cull the human populace, not because of some secretive elite NWO master plan, though they to are a natural part of it. We are a part of nature no matter what, and we cannot work outside its parameters, civilisation is not man-made, it's another extension of nature, like a viral plague or infection, designed to control, kill and restore balance. We're all allocated pawns in this beautifully contrived natural succession of natural-order. I don't even read philosophy I'm just schizo.

That there's no real individuality under capitalism and there's no real "you." It's an amalgamation of everything that has ever influenced you. It's not "you" but small/large parts of the aforementioned.

[Anonymous No.11602231]

>>11602151
It doesn't have to be true, I just think it's an interesting theory I've got. It could be expanded upon. Look at the history of civilisation for example, it repeats itself; emergence, establish, dissolve. Same pattern. Each time like a virus it comes back larger and stronger, because strong survive and become weak, and must thus perish, until only the strong remain, and remain strong they must, or they will perish once again. It's a system of auto-domestication, like farm animals, but human babies being born into plastic buildings, injected and sent into slavery.

We've now created the perfect conditions for natural selection, because we're unnaturally selecting the weak, I too am probably one of the weak, but maybe I can become strong, become accepted and be spared.

We've got channel the reaming genetic power of all of our ancestors who were strong and honorable, and we must purge the weak in us, the filth that we have inherited of those who were not worthy,those who made poor decisions, or succumbed to temptation and comfort. We must suffer. The suffering will separate the weak from the strong.

>>11602190
I think so, if you believe in evolutionary theory, you see a rise and fall in specie diversity over time. I think some will survive, both good and bad, and I think we will see a un-domestication process of the strong, like poodles slowly learning to become wolves again. The weak will try to recreate civilisation as that's the only way they are prepared to live.

In a sense. Females select mates based on two criteria, "Alpha" genes, biggest dog in the yard type stuff for strong children, and those that would make good providers for their children. This is why you'll see some chicks riding the cock carosel for 10-15 years from 17/18-30 and more than likely get knocked up one or more times, then settle down with some betacuck. She fucks the alphas, has their children, then goes to a more docile provider who will bow to her every whim.

God is real, but as an event or experience. It can be mentally concieved and as such become the basis of all the transceental "truths" we hold dear. But because transcedental philosophy/religion is based on lies or misapropriations of metaphysical "truths", God or the "divine" can be more accurately described as the "sacred". The sacred is a socially defined performative action, it ties together peoples, their way of life, the economy, the notion of sacrifice,morality, transcendance and transgression.

It is in this way, the life of all hitherto humans who have ever lived or who will live , walking a tightrope beatwenn the divine experience and transgression, salvation and damnation. For human life to be allowed to exist, the sacred must first be affirmed, and so it has been for all great cultures, that to answer the riddle of death, that is whether life is worth living or not, they must affirm a sacred order. If the West continues to deny this sacred order, denies transgression, denies theosis, it will never affirm life again.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

Spiritual strength, not in the religious sense but in the individual, is the highest virtue.

This isnt something I've rationally figured out, but it's something that I believe almost instinctually

There is no highest, the same way there's no "best hand" You need both your right and left to be fully functional. Spiritual strength is nothing without physical strength to back it up.

[Anonymous No.11604968]

>>11604915
Absolutely, but I see spiritual strength as the most fundamental. A man can be strong physically or mentally, but if he is weak in spirit he will never do anything great with himself. Spiritual strength is fundamental to the noble, aristocratic life

That all of the incredible feelings and experiences often attributed to religion/faith/the soul - love, beauty, spirituality - are actually products of the human brain in all of its incredible complexity, and that fact these things exist within and that we have the capacity to experience these things through pure evolutionary chance is the most incredible thing of all and gives them even more worth than if they were the result of intelligent design

>somebody mentions that Shakespeare said "the world is a stage and life is a play"
>mind bites onto this like a rabid dog
>realise all my life, i have been trying to play the character that has been given to me (name, family, values, career and the character that comes with my career)
>get blown away even more when i realise i don't have to play in the play.
>Now I play the character when situation requires me to, but never lose sight that it's just a game.
>Now I can sit in spectator seat and watch the rest try to keep the elements of their character together whilst trying to fit into the play

Gross. I'm not sure what philosophical school supports an idea like that, but I would want nothing to do with it.

[Anonymous No.11606312]

subjectivity is the only objectivity of consciousness; ultimately, there is no "objectivity" besides the individual subjectivity of experience, which can be proven is not objective in that it is subject to change (memories being false, perception being false, hallucinations, ect.). There can only be said to be an objective Now, which is rendered null by the next Now.
Subject/Object is a superfluous self-imposed distinction of a single being; once the subject identifies subjectivity also in the object will this distinction start to break down.

Christianism has been infect by platonism and spiritualist doctrines that since its beginning has tried to destroy the materiality of god and the true nature of the divine.

That the continuous processes of consciousness and our memories make us who we are, and losing either practically means death. Whoever lives in your body after that is a completely different person. Its tough to explain, but it makes perfect sense to me. The realisation of this suddenly struck me not a long time ago like a divine providence

i like this thought

[Anonymous No.11606710]

Recently I came to the conclusion that the question of God's existense is a pointless one.
If he does exists he would love me for living a virtous life. If he doesnt exist, I would still live a life of virtue, a life of peace with a mind free from fear and anger.
Its a liberating thought.
