and nihilism is destructive in itself

Destructive in the sense that it negates ontological delusions, or 'spooks'.

It can be painful.

But I mean, are we doing philosophy or pain relief?

Philosophy is the development of understanding, which is a relief in itself

or you could advocate ignorance

Right, so how I am being deliberately destructive? It feels like a handwave.

It's deliberately destructive when you knowingly reduce the individual and his complexity

it ultimately comes down to egoism, which i find disgusting

Why?

It seems like meaningful ignorance to me

I am not reducing the individual, I am liberating it from false baggage. I get it depends on your perspective.

you have to ignore human history and behavior

Oh, so now we are a materialist.

>Materialism
>History and behavior

What

No, I'm not

History and behaviour is determined by material reality, no?

Is communism still a meme

Being anti-materialist doesn't mean that I disregard science

@Deleted User If conditions = material and not materials --> conditions sure

Seems like we have to hash out our terminology.

What do you lads think of the IRA

Everything can be reduced to the material @Deleted User

@Irish Take back what's yours mate

*reduced*

The Eternal Mick rises

I don't understand. If material can explain everything, what else is there left?

@Irish >Red star

The material cannot explain everything

when did i imply this

Other than that the fasc outfit is nice

INLA, a break away faction of the IRA

What can't the material explain?

@Irish Stands for?

Irish National Liberation Army

Communist LARPers?

No proper communists

The interpretation of material is based upon human perception
