if it isn't needed, let it decay into oblivion
don't hold on to the past like its gonna save you, it wont
it's less about being weak minded and more not being arrogant of one's capabilities
it is dead
but what is good?🤔
*philosophy intensifies*
fuck what was that Conan quote?
only God is good.
ah there we go
everything else is an attempt to become as God.
which is fine
that film would never be made these days😂
holding on to the past, onto tradition -- that's what the weak with no merit or value do, the slaves to history
people like nazimantrash
it's what people who recognize that hundreds or even thousands years of accumulated wisdom might have some value do
'wisdom' lol
what's funny
the wisdom of the past is often ehhh
well
"lets rub lemons on our foreheads to cure headaches", "lets rape virgins to cure diseases", "lets wipe from behind when we shit"
you know witch trials right?
Traditions, yo, totally the way we do stuff
😂
i don't see how witch trials are representative of tradition as a whole
how widespread were they anyhow
the reason we as humans have progressed as far as to drop someone on the moon, and take pictures of pluto is that we build on wisdom, not accept it at face value and never evolve it
Take beer industry as an example
with extremely few exceptions, beers that have not had significant recipe changes in the last hundred years taste like shit today
Because ideas, processes and concepts have evolved and built on each other
building on wisdom is a very different concept from discarding it
tradition as a static meme, or idea passed down ,is rubbish
and in any case you're also providing examples of things that have very concrete scientific answers involved
you should be replacing it with a better one, not carrying it forward
everything has concrete scientific/statistical answers
not really
yeah really
the long term affect of all sorts of cultural norms do not
both the acceptance and rejection of them
culture is cancer
what does that even mean
