im gonna break down one more complete trainwreck passage from this book
There's basically infinite numbers of potential ideologies and
world-views, but they all belong to one of two categories, which
are polar opposites and totally irreconcilable. Those two categories
are modernism (often called materialism) and traditionalism
(often called idealism). In modernism, the highest good is to be
comfortable and safe, while avoiding pain and danger. Everything
is good or bad according to that criteria. In traditionalism, the
highest good is truth and the rejection of falsehoods. Everything is
good or bad according to that criteria.
It's very important to note that for modernists, ideas, values and
theories are tools to be used to attain material ends. Those things
have no inherent value in themselves. If truth is in the way of
feeling good, then truth must go. Inversely, for traditionalism, it
is material conditions and possessions that are considered tools -
used for the purpose of attaining and upholding truth. If comfort
and safety are in the way of truth, those things must be sacrificed.
how can there be infinite ideologies and worldviews but they only fall into two distinct ideologies
materialism and idealism are not irreconcilable this is such a fucking bad take kant resolved this 200 years ago
modernism /= materialism
idealism /= traditionalism
materialism and idealism are well-founded terms in philosophy with rich traditions, this writer feels he can just make up what they mean
he then defines a strawman-modernism which strawmans his already flawed definition of materialism
he defines his own ideology "traditionalism" as truth, tautologically making whatever his worldview is 'truth' and whatever opposes it 'false'
he further strawmans his fake-modernism
and scene~
the sheer dogmatism is staggering
there is no actual content to any of this
Me = Good, You = Bad.
lmfao
good summary there
