/sci/ - Science & Math

I strongly suspect that there is, and I strongly suspect that it has nothing to do with science or math.

Even if it doesn't exist, why not follow your own path? If you've determined what makes life meaningful to you, why do you need to follow another's teachings?

Sounds like Utilitarianism. Check out some.
I think its bullshit, but to each his own.

sounds like Motive Utilitarianism.

OP here, I have chosen to open a large art gallery in my city. I feel that this will bring the most happiness to the largest amount of people, while helping them to expand their contemplative minds.

We also give money to charity and support local shops.

no.

Not science. Get that shit to /b/.

philosophy is the basis of all science.

Why do you need an official philosophical stance?
Just believe what you believe for fuck's sake

>>4902469
Not this kind of philosophy.

>>4902445
but it's not science

Happiness can be achieved through different means.
You must think of happiness as more than just "Oh man im happy".

I think of it as the greatest amount of human flourishing, especially from a utilitarian standpoint.
Happiness should be quantifiable.
In my opinion, perfecting fusion or more medical advances would bring more happiness to humanity.

You should help with that. Art...is a cool hobby, but other than that, its not much in my opinion.

Survival is the base motivation of of agriculture.

Therefore redneck survivalists are qualified botanists.

>>4902459

Typical Western progressive ideals.

Making people happy is not when Humanity is built for. It is a nice idea to aspire to but what is happiness and what happens when happiness is used to dull the senses and the mind against the subversive elements of corrupt governments.

We live in a socety where every need is met. Housing, food, water, healthcare and much much more. Yet our system is failing, it is unsustainable and we have very high depression rates aswell as suicide.

Why does our modern western society have such a high amount of depression and suicide while ancient times had (from what we can tell) a much lower rate of depression and suicide. Haiti has one of the lowest suicide rates known to WHO and yet it was one of the most depressing, poor and squalid, corrupt nations known to us.

The sad fact is humanity thives when it is downtrodden. It thrives against adversity due to our instinctive survival nature.

An Art gallery would solve nothing. The only happiness it would bring would be to middle class yuppies who think they are special, besides modern art is a horror in comparison to our ancient art. What these people need is to be armed and given an udnerstanding that they are owned. They must kill their owners.

To be happy is a false ideal. The true ideal is to be fed, to continue your cultural and genetic heritage and to ovecome obstacles that stand in your way.

>redneck
>probably hates the word niggar but is fine with a European based racial slur aimed at sothern americans

Those rednecks will survive longer than the Northern yuppies.

>>4902489

Redneck is not a race or a region. It's a state of mind.

>>4902492

Redneck is a racial slur used specifically against White Working Class Southern Americans. I could say being a Nigger is a state of mind.

Redneck is a racial slur that everyone seems OK with, most especially so calle dprogressives who ignore the fact that it is directed at White Working Class Southerners. Not the term red neck is for a sunburnt neck due to hot Southern Weather.

Bullshit. A redneck doesn't have to be any of those things. And my parents are white working class southern Americans but they aren't goddamn rednecks.

Bronyism

Are you kidding me? Racial slur? Are you stupid or trolling like a motha fucka?

The KKK and the Aryan nation just entered 4chan /sci/ thread with their weird ideas about race.

It's not a racial slur because it's synonymous with ''white trash''.

>>4902445
Read up on Epicurus, OP. He is your answer.

>The term characterized farmers having a red neck caused by sunburn from hours working in the fields. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as "poorer inhabitants of the rural districts...men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin stained red and burnt by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks".[

>>4902537
>it's synonymous with ''white trash''
so any farmer is now white trash? fuck you.

>>4902543

Yes, they were white and their necks burnt from working in the Sun. Redneck has become the term White Trash. I doubt any of you would say Nigger or call Africans Black trash nor would you use a slur which directly uses skin tone as part of its description.

Redneck, used as a negative term is racial. It is the description of Southern Working Class Whites. It is racial. I do love how you cna call me the KKK and yet use racial slurs.

It is a racial slur and has most certianly grown as a negative term over the past two decades.

Oh it's fine to describe an entire population using their skin tone as long as its white, right? Hypocrisy at its finest.

>>4902550
>>4902537

>white trash
>openly declares the use of race
>claims it isn't racial

I love it. Dat cognitive dissonance.

Let's make more red herrings and completely off the wall statements.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck

Nowhere in the article is ''redneck'' referred to as a racial slur. Today it means-- dumb backwater conservative southerner who makes the rest of us look bad, it could also be a social status or economic status designator but in no way is it a racial slur akin to ''nigger'' or whop or ching chonger

>>4902566
>>4902529

>Bullshit. A Nigger doesn't have to be any of those things. And his parents are black working class southern Americans but they aren't goddamn niggers.

>>4902573

Except that nigger means black person, so it doesn't work.

>>4902569

>wikipedia says it isn't a racial slur
>the word is a decription of white working class southern americans
>claims that when this word is used as a negative, it isn't using race as part of its adjective
>implying you aren't a massive hypocrite
>implying you need wikipedia to think for yourself

So Wetback is fine because it simply decribes a wet back, right?

>>4902569

>Redneck is a derogatory slang term used in reference to poor, uneducated white farmers, especially from the southern United States.[1][2] It is similar in meaning to cracker (especially regarding Georgia and Florida), hillbilly (especially regarding Appalachia and the Ozarks),[3] and white trash (but without the last term's suggestions of immorality).[4][5][6]

>yfw you cant read your own source

>>4902580

It's not a description of white working class southern Americans. Sarah Palin is a redneck and she's neither Southern nor working class. You lose. Go away,

>>4902573
>>4902558

You can't change your race dumbass, but you can stop being a fucking redneck-- herein lies the difference between mindless racial slurs and social class slurs like redneck. I'm sorry that you identify personally with morons like rednecks and go around being ''hu rah nur nur nur'' all the time, or think the ''whYTE RACE BE BEIN ATTAKED BU DEM NEGROS AM DEM POLITIKAL COREKT PEEPLE" -- that's not my fault, you're just stupid.

Also , this whole entire convo has nothing to do with the original post. SO you're fucking troll 0/10.

>>4902583

Sarah Palin is White. The term describe suburn on a White Neck. Wikipedia claims it is a derogatory word that decribes whites.

It is a racial term and if you use it while claiming Nigger is wrong then you are a hypocrite. Read your own source.

>>4902584

>You can't change your race dumbass, but you can stop being a fucking nigger- herein lies the difference between mindless racial slurs and social class slurs like nigger.

Why is pointing out hypocrisy so offensive to you? Redneck describes whites, any word which describes black and uses it as a derogatory term would be racist and yet here you are proclaiming it is fine.

It is hypocrisy. Why must I be part of the KKK for pointing out your hypocrisy? I thought any decent minded person would prefer not to use terms which directly involve race? So why do you and then claim the moral high ground?

>>4902585

First of all, you're talking to more than one person.

Second, if you're dropping "working class" and "Sotuthern" and leaving only "white," then that means every white person is a redneck. Literally no one means that when they say redneck. Therefore you are full of shit.

>>4902589

>Second, if you're dropping "working class" and "Sotuthern" and leaving only "black," then that means every white person is a Nigger. Literally no one means that when they say nigger. Therefore you are full of shit.

creating "happyness"

sort of like that film, pay it forward.

or ridding the world of those that cause unhappyness.

happiness..happyness

When people say "nigger," 99% of the time they are using it as a synonym for black person.

Nobody used "redneck" as a synonym for white person.

You are making an obvious false equivalency and you've already moved the goalposts (e.g., wrt Sarah Palin). You are not good at arguing.

>>4902596

But that's wrong, you retard.

>>4902596
>literally no one means black person when they say nigger

Well, I think you've just demonstrated why the terms are not equivalent at all.

You are all master thread-derailing faggots.

>>4902603

So you could call a black male a Redneck?

>>4902598
>>4902600

But you are directly describing someone who is white. That is the point. You wouldn't call a non white person a redneck. Nor would you call a group ''black trash.'' Don't claim you would becuase you wouldn't. You wouldn't call people Darknecks so why would you use a word which directly involves race. There are plenty of crazy neo conservative southersner who aren't white.

Redneck is a description of white working class southerners. It uses race, its very word is a burn white neck which becmes red. How can you deny its racial overtones and yet be so OK with using it?

Why not use another word? Why must you use a word which involves race? And dont give me this lame excuse that Nigger and Redneck are different due to Historical context. It's still a word with racial overtones and yet you would not use similar social class race descriptions with other races. So you are a hypocrite.

>>4902613

Except that it's not a term for white working class southerners. Sarah Palin is clearly a redneck, but she's neither Southern nor working class. Did you forget that part of the thread already? Or are you just trying to repeat talking points often enough that they become true?

>>4902613

Simply because there is an element of race inherent to classism doesn't mean class slurs = racial slurs you moronic piece of shit dumbass. White people can either be rich or poor, poor people can be either stupid, ignorant, loud, racist cunts like rednecks or not-- it's as simple as that. Also rich people can be rednecks if they are fucking stupid racist, loud , cunts like Sara Palin. White people are the predominant race in the U.S, they are also the only people who sit outside the back porch making meth, call each other ''Earl'' and ''Bubba bill'' before smoking a pound of weed, talking about how they fucked Aunt ''Peggy Sue'' and now ''She be du prego mammy pammy''.. You stupid piece of shit cunt.

I might call someone ''black trash'' but that's not a term used in the U.S dumbass because black people already are at the lowest ring of the socio-economic ladder and it's considered ''unclassy''.

THREAD DERAILING FAGGOT SHUT THE FUCK UP.

>>4902628
>>4902628

>Not southern
>not working class
>call her a redneck

And yet you still use the word despite it having no comparison to Palin. The only thing left is white.

>>4902666

Why must you use redneck as a derogatory term. It is a distinct racial adjective. You havejust admitted that you call whites of all backgrounds as rednecks despite redneck simply meaning White Southern and Working Class.

It is a horrific word when you look at it. It is a word to describe southern whites as ugly dumb brutes but like all racial slurs, the group that it is used agianst adopts it as something positive.

You ahev just admitted that you use the word to describe whites of multiple backgrounds. The wikipedia pointed out shows it is similar to cracker. It is a racial word, you use it openly and and yet you are politically correct when it comes to racial terms with blacks.

Quite frnakly, you are a racist and if you are white, you are a brainwashed ethnomasochist. Im not america and I am very tired of the white racial labels used in a society that claims to put race behind us.

Clearly people like you are fond of bashing whites of any background.
