And I thought Social Darwinism went out of style decades ago

>> No.6022399

>>6022392
I hold a position similar to social Darwinism. It's not the position that the meanest SHOULD always get ahead, rather that they always do. It's not a prescriptivist philosophy because all ethics are stupid

There are the terrible ones who carry about in themselves the beast of
prey, and have no choice except lusts or self-laceration. And even their
lusts are self-laceration.
They have not yet become men, those terrible ones: may they preach
desistance from life, and pass away themselves!
There are the spiritually decaying ones: hardly are they born when
they begin to die, and long for doctrines of weariness and renunciation.
They would rather be dead, and we should approve of their wish! Let
us beware of awakening those dead ones, and of damaging those living
coffins!
They meet an invalid, or an old man, or a corpse - and immediately
they say: "Life is refuted!"
But they only are refuted, and their eye, which sees only one aspect of
existence.
Shrouded in thick melancholy, and eager for the little casualties that
bring death: thus do they wait, and clench their teeth.
Or else, they grasp at candy, and mock at their childishness thereby:
they cling to their straw of life, and mock at their still clinging to it.
Their wisdom speaks thus: "A fool, he who remains alive; but so far are
we fools! And that is the most foolish thing in life!"
"Life is only suffering": so say others, and lie not. Then see to it that you
cease! See to it that the life ceases which is only suffering!

-Thus Spoke Zarathustra: On the Preachers of Death

I skimmed it, it's basically just social darwinism. Think Fight Club, /r9k/, is-ought misattribution, a self-help book, teenage nihilism, new age pantheism, and the "life is a game" cliche tossed together in a lonely and bitter salad.

Couldn't care less, but 2 points off the top of my head:

1. Read up on ethics in general. Plato's Gorgias dialogue discusses some ideas related to the pic (or at least the first few paragraphs).

2. If, as the pic seemed to imply, happiness is a combination of brain chemicals then there surely are numerous ways of achieving it besides dominance. Different drugs are the obvious example, meditation and hypnosis are another way of controlling your mind.

This.

I did read a single line, though. It's such a crock that people characterize humans as animals just because we share some similarities with animals. How many animals not only dominate their environment like we do, but expand into other environments too? Air, sea, soon to be space. Perhaps we will find new frontiers we can't even see? The sky's the limit. I know a lot of people are dumb and unambitious, but these people do not characterize humanity.

Because the spirit begets the spirit. and can create spirit, so clearly there is more in the world than just this Negroidian view where only "things" exist. The ideology presented in this poster is the view of something that ought to be called a child. Notice how the author takes something that is physical, with no meaning, the physical universe, and makes a spook out of it by claiming that there is nothing to it but fighting for survival and procreating. This child is in a stage where he is trying to get to the back of the world, but hasn't realized the world is haunted by ghosts, so all he see's and all he fears is nature. Of course we Moderns know different.
