And answer my question
we have hegemony of the commodity form, everyone is forced to participate in what is functionally one economy
Rip
so this is like a gift which is given to us, a gift we don't want but we are powerless because we cannot refuse it (seemingly)
All baudrillard really says then is that it's about turning power against itself, and also that systems get more fragile as they get more perfect
so "the system" is definitely vulnerable. it's just we play into its hands perhaps by emphasizing all these different good guy/ bad guy schemes
Is this some sort of deterministic oriented philosophy?
I get the feeling that the distinctions regardless, main point being we're all in one coin.
Isn't all materialist philosophy inherently determisnistic
regardless of ideology to pick
Tru
How do I word this uhhhhh
it's more fatalist than deterministic but its like the same
^ yeh what I was trying to say
It reeks a bit of nihilism
and he likes talking about destiny
Hmmm
As a staunch materialist, I would argue that marxist theory provides a more fatalist approach to our world that is supported by history
Partly fatalist.
Considering, this is purely hypothetical
Unless you mean it in a different light
No
or what do yall mean by nihilism
"Fatalism is a philosophical doctrine that stresses the subjugation of all events or actions to destiny" So you mean this one?
The world is a complex organization of energy interacting through space-time
Nothing else
"nihilism"
Well i used that term
In regards to nagarjuna
Because from what I understand
Since all we do is rather pointless regardless of what light we paint ourselves into
comes back into the same ole existential problems of
why not let's get this shit over and smash ourselves
problem solved
But then the gift concept
But scientific categories are all provisional, there's no scientific "knowledge" only predictions within our time-scale
is altogether I'm still trying to comprehend
We don't have a choice regardless #iwanttokillmyself

i think the problem is that death is not real
