Heโs dead. Haha
Hahaha
That's blackpilling
Nobody cares what ugly women say.
They're not listening
Maybe nobody is really listening to pretty women either tho.....
Why don't you have sex?
Not Rome
At least, at the end
Sex isn't for pleasure's sake. Babies are time consuming.
What do you consider to be a "hedonistic society" than?
I think a lot of philosophers talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. You can say you live for pleasure only, all day long. Doesn't mean anything
India
But I don't think they're hedonistic.
Not in the north
Are they? I don't think they are.
No, I didn't mean philosophers. I meant the books from India
But that negates your hypothesis, @virtue
I don't think that there is a correlation with monogamy and hedonism.
They are everywhere
But they believe in reincarnation and stuff. You have to be a good person, etc. There are many examples of selflessness in the Vedas. Not hedonism
I think monogamy is correlated with stable, somewhat egalitarian societies.
I don't think most societies are hedonistic
Especially not when considering historical societies.
And female chastity is correlated with agrarianism.
Just because you are a hedonistic philosopher doesn't mean that your society in general is hedonistic.
A society's relationship to sex is one fascet of the society as a whole
Societies don't progress
Society in general is disgenic, in my opinion
JF probably would agree
In one aspect, a society can progress. But that aspect brings other parts to decay
But they are dumber because of it
So, do they have a net progression? No
hahahahaha
Lots of ancient societies were wealthy and didn't have a hedonistic outlook. I don't think you can let the proletariate become hedonistic without modern industrial practicies.
Maybe the LEADERs of all weathy societies are hedonistic. But wealth consentration matters
and wealth produciton
I agree
hahahaha
SHUT IT DOWN
@virtue are you jewish? hahaha
Eventually, you run out of resources.
Weimar Germany and the late stages of Rome were hedonistic. In my opinion
@fuguer , probably depends on one's eschatological beliefs
Well, are you an atheist?
Before one can answer what is good, one must answer what is God
What's for dinner, @blanc?
Maybe
One must move out of one's Mom's house before deciding if it's good or bad to quit one's job.
But you must feed yourself, @fuguer
Particles don't care if you starve
Pleasure and pride aren't the same thing
What kind of mouths? Like kids?
Save up and invest, then quit your job
Live on half your salary
I don't think your wife wants you to quit your job, @fuguer
But do you have that potential?
How do you know?
And can you deal with the politics of academia? JF couldn't
What's your IQ score?
Academia can shut out conservatives.
Maybe they can shut out you too.
I donno
Can you quit your job and work part time as a consultant?
Do you have a PhD
?
Does your job give leaves of absence?
Mine does. No pay, but you get your job back eventually
Does your wife work?
All things to consider
Yeah
You can apply to gradute schools without quitting your job
That's what I'd do
Well. Someone has to put food on the table. I hope it isn't SNAP
Well, you could get a fellowship or something and get paid. A lot of PhD students teach or get grants and stuff. You can wait and see if you get a fat envelope before quitting your job
If you don't have any courses in physics, maybe take one course without the degree-track at a local univeristy
See how you like it
Huh?
What's the Jean Pool title?
Haha. Like not too dumb for this server? @fuguer
But it looks so cool
You can't sing like Janis Joplin anymore after quitting
I'm not moving to your planet, @virtue
I don't like Whiskey
I am a beer and wine person
But I don't drink to get smashed. I drink because I like the beer
Maybe don't drink then
Gross
You don't have to be drunk for that
I thought you never done drugs
Greened up brownie is drugs
That's awesome
But you don't want to make money, you want to learn physics
That's what your boomer dad said
The grass is always greener
ARe you high, @virtue ?
