This quote fills me with endless rage. Could someone explain why?

Because the quotation is ostensibly philosophical in nature, it is /lit/-related.

It randomly combines metaphysics in a cafeteria style that is not terribly coherent, using the idealist concept of ghosts to promote an argument that is fundamentally aligned with scientism.

Is "endless rage" a gross exaggeration or does this actually make you angry? How old are you?

It's trite and it mocks/dismisses the three essential problems of humanity:
>Existential Groundlessness
>Insatiability
>Fear of Death

Do they not teach reading comprehension in science?

Used to make me angry. Now I don't really feel anything other than a small urge to roll my eyes. I do, however, want to understand why it made me angry. 26.

You're goddamn right.

You'd think a /sci/-entist would be the most angry at memetic commodification of science.

Appeals to the cogitatively indolent secularistic manchildren who fucking love science but shun any kind of metaphysical debate as pointless (mostly out of ignorance and laziness). They laugh at strawmanned dogmas, lacking the self-awareness to discover that their passive and hedonistic lifestyle is another dogmatic hellscape. Ironically, the only way they can approach these metaphysical queries is through sarcasm and comedy (haha dude ghosts in skeletons lmao).

I love how culturally ingrained material dualism is. Not even the scientist bugman types can escape from it. Jah bless

It's just 'you are this material reduction so x'. Sounds cool I guess but not much thought put into it.

You should start praying while at work, report reactions. In my experience scientists are pretty autistic in their rejection of anything not material.

How do materialist, i.e most scientists, define it?

I told my colleague once that I thought my luck changed for the better after I saw an eclipse (the one in August last year). She thought I was joking but I couldn't have been more serious.

I'd love to try praying but I think I'd be kicked out of my department for mental issues, or at the very least drug tested which I'd fail

pretty obvious why any non bugman would hate it
>oh jeez Rck, i'm scared!
>Morty, y-you;'re a *buuuuurp* meat covered skeleton made from stardust riding a rock floating through space. Fear nothing.
note that the addition of le epic ghost makes everything more hollow despite being anti-materialist

This particular frame is biologically driven to fear as a mechanism for self preservation. You shouldn't fear everything, but should have a healthy amount of fear lest your "ghost" meet with suffering and eventual disintegration. If you are spiritually inclined, you should fear for the fate of your ghost after your meat-covered skeleton fucking dies.
