No it should be all information rests on the pre supposing aside from the axioms

2018-11-15 20:02:05 UTC  

Of course you can contradict this and compartmentalize but look what the logical extreme is how does this poison relate to my survival or my health

2018-11-15 20:02:17 UTC  

It has nothing to tie it together

2018-11-15 20:03:31 UTC  

I recommend if you have time reading the virtue of selfishness its only 100 pages

2018-11-15 20:05:33 UTC  

By the way everything derives from reality in some way

2018-11-15 20:10:39 UTC  
2018-11-15 20:12:31 UTC  

Again, I don't think survival and health are the be all, end all. I think the loss of multiple seemingly obsolete social institutions and their impact on society is proof of that

2018-11-15 20:13:02 UTC  

Which is where I find myself briefly on the Peterson path before turning off onto a different trail when he starts diving into religion

2018-11-15 20:13:05 UTC  

Elaborate

2018-11-15 20:13:24 UTC  

Im not familiar

2018-11-15 20:13:49 UTC  

Well we're currently in an age of unbridled technological prowess

2018-11-15 20:14:07 UTC  

It has never been easier to do most tasks we have as part of our overall survival

2018-11-15 20:14:09 UTC  

Yes thanks to Aristotle

2018-11-15 20:14:50 UTC  

And yet we live in an age of loneliness and existential crisis. Young men are committing suicide, dropping out of society, and joining cults

2018-11-15 20:15:24 UTC  

Young women are reporting lower and lower levels of happiness/satisfaction overall

2018-11-15 20:15:54 UTC  

Thats due to altruism, nihilism, and lack of philosophy

2018-11-15 20:16:10 UTC  

Man needs philosophy to survive

2018-11-15 20:16:30 UTC  

Nihilism and altruism are products of philosophy, not a lack thereof

2018-11-15 20:17:23 UTC  

Nihilism is lack of philosophy id argue

2018-11-15 20:17:32 UTC  

It gives man no guidance

2018-11-15 20:17:42 UTC  

I would say militant Atheism is not a product of intellectualism but a product of idiots pretending to be intellectual

2018-11-15 20:17:48 UTC  

Altruism is a bit more complex but overall id argue its harmful

2018-11-15 20:17:50 UTC  

Nihilism is the argument that man must guide himself

2018-11-15 20:17:56 UTC  

No its not

2018-11-15 20:18:02 UTC  

@Khanclansith define militant atheism

2018-11-15 20:18:12 UTC  

Nihilism said man cant know shit

2018-11-15 20:18:16 UTC  

Nihilism is the rejection of a higher order of moral value

2018-11-15 20:18:36 UTC  

Which means that the only remaining moral compass is the individual

2018-11-15 20:18:39 UTC  

Look at the skeptics

2018-11-15 20:19:03 UTC  

It stripped man of reason and integration and tossed him aside

2018-11-15 20:19:47 UTC  

These folks going on about how everyone with any sort of religious faith "Clearing is an insane unthinking ignorant monster!" @Beemann

2018-11-15 20:20:16 UTC  

Oh so the fedora tippers not even other atheists like

2018-11-15 20:20:42 UTC  

Yeah the neckbeard mgtows aka the new skeptics

2018-11-15 20:21:21 UTC  

Sorry, who do you count amongst that number? Keeping in mind that mgtow is not an atheist movement and we're now moving heavily into buzzword territory

2018-11-15 20:21:43 UTC  

True

2018-11-15 20:21:58 UTC  

Its till prevalent in the other groups of atheists

2018-11-15 20:22:14 UTC  

Also millennials

2018-11-15 20:22:57 UTC  

Also look how compartmentalized the universities are

2018-11-15 20:23:29 UTC  

Sorry are millenials and universities examples of new skeptics or militant atheists or nihilism?

2018-11-15 20:23:51 UTC  

Yes to a smaller extent

2018-11-15 20:23:57 UTC  

@Beemann When I posted the "Get the Wrong think" Critizism on the recent video some one came out at said the Student was "Not thinking and just brainwashed by Abrahamic religion" or something to that effect.
