You are talking about not being able to escape subjectivity

2020-01-21 01:54:22 UTC  

Yes

2020-01-21 01:54:30 UTC  

I guess

2020-01-21 01:55:55 UTC  

Do you think that is inescapable? That conception only is applicable under existentialism/materialism

2020-01-21 01:57:04 UTC  

Being subjective?

2020-01-21 01:57:23 UTC  

Of course it's inescapable

2020-01-21 01:57:46 UTC  

Everyone is an individual and views things in seperate lights

2020-01-21 01:58:29 UTC  

That has no bearing on reality

2020-01-21 01:59:21 UTC  

What does have a bearing on reality

2020-01-21 01:59:45 UTC  

Reality is objective sure but how you interpret the reality is subjective

2020-01-21 02:01:13 UTC  

You can have subjective interpretations that doesn't mean there are no ways of obtaining truth.

2020-01-21 02:01:23 UTC  

I never said that

2020-01-21 02:01:46 UTC  

You claimed it's inescapable

2020-01-21 02:02:06 UTC  

If we can ground objectivity then it is

2020-01-21 02:03:11 UTC  

But is that something we can do

2020-01-21 02:04:34 UTC  

Sure, you start with the principle of being and you can discern plenty of things from obviously correct premises

2020-01-21 02:05:01 UTC  

But on the grounds of discussing things like religion is subjectivity not inescapable

2020-01-21 02:05:37 UTC  

It's plenty escapable

2020-01-21 02:06:34 UTC  

By all being the same faith I assume

2020-01-21 02:06:38 UTC  

But we aren't

2020-01-21 02:06:50 UTC  

@Doktor Goon @Eoppa The scientific method has no scientific proof for its validity. It is incomplete under its own bearing (authority), as the Godel was also able to say. To accept it as true, another reference is needed, and another. Thus it must be ground either arborescently or hierarchically, but it must be ground, as pragmatism dictates.

2020-01-21 02:07:34 UTC  

Yeah idk why you said that but sure

2020-01-21 02:07:39 UTC  

That is correct

2020-01-21 02:07:46 UTC  

It's the argument behind this one

2020-01-21 02:07:58 UTC  

But I'm not arguing scientific method

2020-01-21 02:08:13 UTC  

@Doktor Goon we don't need to be the same faith to argue objectivity

2020-01-21 02:08:42 UTC  

@Doktor Goon replace "scientific" with whatever method you are arguing

2020-01-21 02:08:46 UTC  

I'm completely fucking lost this started with Mongolite telling me I do things by ego

2020-01-21 02:09:14 UTC  

Which if you know anything about psychology that's why anyone does anything

2020-01-21 02:09:39 UTC  

The ego is a spook <:really:591181753625083905>

2020-01-21 02:10:11 UTC  

But I feel like that is defining psychological egoism into truthhood

2020-01-21 02:10:17 UTC  

@Doktor Goon According to the Freudians. Other psychological positions must deny the Freudian account. They cannot all be compatible under "psychology"

2020-01-21 02:10:47 UTC  

I'm more of a Jung kinda fellow

2020-01-21 02:11:18 UTC  

@Doktor Goon For example, Jung denied Freud's ego as too reductionistic of the self.

2020-01-21 02:11:46 UTC  

Join the Deleuzian anti Freud coalition

2020-01-21 02:13:21 UTC  

In Latin, "ego" just means "I" in the first person, but Jung saw that as too limited within the experience of the self to either account for the self or how the self tells stories about itself across time. Rather, Jung saw the self more than just a referent. It was alive at each point it was referenced, though not distributed across all its references.

2020-01-21 02:14:26 UTC  

Thus, to Jung, the self wasn't gestalt nor operative.

2020-01-21 02:14:51 UTC  

Freud was like, "what are you on bro".

2020-01-21 02:15:03 UTC  

😂

2020-01-21 02:15:12 UTC  

Freud was like "how's it about sex though"

2020-01-21 02:20:30 UTC  

@Doktor Goon But, Eoppa makes a good point. If you can understand the subject this way, for what it is, you then have to talk about how it came there, both historically and logically; correspondantly and consistently. This is why subjectivism from subjectivism (from subjectivism....) only gets you as far as "elephants all the way down". And, reality isn't built on strict reference alone, since patterns are perceived, not just patterned. That story of self cannot tell you the origin, either in terms of an originating act or an originating subject. And, so you come to a place of mystery (as mysterium).
