being stupid and/or crazy

2017-04-04 17:08:28 UTC  

and considering the world an alive thing where life matters

2017-04-04 17:08:31 UTC  

or that matters in some way

2017-04-04 17:08:42 UTC  

no life matters

2017-04-04 17:08:53 UTC  

I think I should elaborate on matters

2017-04-04 17:08:54 UTC  

all life could die and the world would not care

2017-04-04 17:08:58 UTC  

it would keep on orbitting around the sun

2017-04-04 17:09:04 UTC  

yes, but mattering is not inconsistent with that

2017-04-04 17:09:08 UTC  

pagans were exceptionally fatalistic

2017-04-04 17:09:13 UTC  

which is slowly twirling around a black hole

2017-04-04 17:09:14 UTC  

"everything will die, the end"

2017-04-04 17:09:17 UTC  

until it collides with another star

2017-04-04 17:09:29 UTC  

or runs out of nuclear fuel

2017-04-04 17:09:37 UTC  

okay, sure

2017-04-04 17:09:41 UTC  

the world could end right now

2017-04-04 17:09:43 UTC  

there is no allah

2017-04-04 17:09:47 UTC  

there is no jesus

2017-04-04 17:09:54 UTC  

there is no yahweh

2017-04-04 17:10:01 UTC  

there especially is no yahweh

2017-04-04 17:10:05 UTC  

lets see how you feel about it in 20 years

2017-04-04 17:10:19 UTC  

@fallot I see what you mean, but is it "religion"? "idealism" perhaps?

2017-04-04 17:10:41 UTC  

you can call it idealism if you wish, I think that term doesn't give you the actual picture of what exists and existed in mankind's consciousness

2017-04-04 17:10:50 UTC  

I think certain forms of idealism could supplant "religion" for a while

2017-04-04 17:11:03 UTC  

idealism isn't holistic

2017-04-04 17:11:04 UTC  

mankind's consciousness matters not. most people do not think in meta terms

2017-04-04 17:11:12 UTC  

how is the average person more important than an insect

2017-04-04 17:11:14 UTC  

or a dog?

2017-04-04 17:11:24 UTC  

an insect has wants and desires'

2017-04-04 17:11:29 UTC  

as does a stream

2017-04-04 17:11:31 UTC  

hey, from your framework, they are of course not any more or any less important

2017-04-04 17:11:34 UTC  

there is no importance or value

2017-04-04 17:11:36 UTC  

in the way you think

2017-04-04 17:11:43 UTC  

yet the way you actually live isn't like that

2017-04-04 17:11:51 UTC  

you "arbitrarily choose" your value

2017-04-04 17:12:00 UTC  

your mind denies value, your body accepts it

2017-04-04 17:12:07 UTC  

"practical, yet false, value"

2017-04-04 17:12:07 UTC  

I consider about half of all people to be irredeemable sacks of shit

2017-04-04 17:17:06 UTC  

@The Enlightened Shepherd , the above re: your comment about framework and meaning

2017-04-04 17:17:16 UTC  

@Salt you may find it of some value too, maybe

2017-04-04 17:22:18 UTC  

UNIVERSALISM IS FECES
