which is something he has to take on faith

2018-08-31 21:58:03 UTC  

which is what we are predisposed to do

2018-08-31 21:58:07 UTC  

A psycho ex boyfriend free zone. Those work so well for firearms

2018-08-31 21:58:08 UTC  

cause the monkey that didnt, died

2018-08-31 21:59:07 UTC  

goodnight sweet monkey

2018-08-31 21:59:18 UTC  

ergo, unles you an enemy of life, some truths are better then others

2018-08-31 21:59:28 UTC  

this includes philosophical truths

2018-08-31 21:59:35 UTC  

unless you claim they can not effect people

2018-08-31 21:59:46 UTC  

and give them a (dis)advantage

2018-08-31 21:59:54 UTC  

>waiting for knowledge
That's not how that works

2018-08-31 22:00:01 UTC  

so what do you do then

2018-08-31 22:00:22 UTC  

You experiment. And the experiment works or it doesnt

2018-08-31 22:00:32 UTC  

Do I honestly have to explain learning?

2018-08-31 22:00:33 UTC  

you search for truth

2018-08-31 22:00:41 UTC  

because you believe

2018-08-31 22:00:46 UTC  

You search for facts, not philosophical truth

2018-08-31 22:01:00 UTC  

You don't search for the meaning of human existence because you're hungry

2018-08-31 22:01:04 UTC  

why experiment if you dont believe it will benefit you

2018-08-31 22:01:11 UTC  

to learn duh

2018-08-31 22:01:18 UTC  

You're continuing to conflate two separate things

2018-08-31 22:01:20 UTC  

there is a fundamental assumption there

2018-08-31 22:01:26 UTC  

Knowledge is a benefit

2018-08-31 22:01:36 UTC  

you act, because you believe it is beneficial for you

2018-08-31 22:01:43 UTC  

you dont know that for sure

2018-08-31 22:02:03 UTC  

can you imagine how many monkeys set themselves on fire before some other monkey mastered the flame

2018-08-31 22:02:09 UTC  

but you believe you gotta try

2018-08-31 22:02:11 UTC  

You act in accordance with what you feel your best interests are. Nihilism says "that's the end of the conversation"

2018-08-31 22:02:17 UTC  

i want to see video of that tbh

2018-08-31 22:02:18 UTC  

Its that simple

2018-08-31 22:02:35 UTC  

That's *literally all there is to it*

2018-08-31 22:02:53 UTC  

your previous definition claimed that truths are all equal in value

2018-08-31 22:03:03 UTC  

and i just tried to explain that aint true

2018-08-31 22:03:04 UTC  

Yes, as in *philosophical truths*

2018-08-31 22:03:13 UTC  

A distinction I've made about 5 times now

2018-08-31 22:03:23 UTC  

Sorry, if I posted pictures of monkeys on fire, I think the discord will be flagged

2018-08-31 22:03:24 UTC  

i dont think i could buy into that either

2018-08-31 22:03:24 UTC  

there are hirarchies of truth even in the realm of philosohpy

2018-08-31 22:03:32 UTC  

Not in nihilism

2018-08-31 22:03:36 UTC  

then its wrong

2018-08-31 22:03:40 UTC  

some philosphies are garbage, but you have to ask the questions to have the rights and wrongs rationalized

2018-08-31 22:03:57 UTC  

or you believe philosophy doesnt have an effect on humans one way or the other i guess
