Sure, it's good on its own terms like that, but the Enlightenment theory of man is just empirically unfounded and therefore purely ideal.

Regarding the videogame point

And the nazis and communists also did

people fall into videogames or action movies due a lack of hard emotions

What is that theory @devpav

prolly a desbalance of hormonal action due to a lack of action in their life

that theory is supported by the fact that depression goes down during war

but increase hard after it

Lack of action perhaps @Strufa

so we need WW3

people search for adrenaline and fear in videogames or movies or sports

to compensate their miserable peaceful lives

If it’s against PC and SJW count me in @ThreeOfOne

i wouldnt know of that i live in hell

I always thought that it was people want goals. Life without goals flounders

fucking Venezuela

Peace sucks

That’s the message

people in peace say peace suck

people in war say war sucks

Mont, you know what I'm referring to if I say Homo economicus is a total caricature from the standpoint of human biology? The Enlightenment spawned that caricature.

everything sucks

Ah yes I’m studying economics I’ve heard of that @devpav

Anyway most human behavior can be explained from the evolutive viewpoint

soo yeah i keep my point that the mind is a concept that derivates from the brain

I know Tim Pool says college is bad but in my country it’s practically free gotta love taxpayer money

It's funny in a macabre sense, as civilization advances we get people who are intelligent enough to experience existential dread while stripping them of access to institutions that are supposed to help them discover that higher purpose in life

Well thats why millenials have become the pawn of the left

they want so hard to be heroes that they dont care who they aling with

thats dangerous tho

you know who else wanted to be a hero?

I'm also a goalless millennial, shit sucks

the kids from ww1

and no one talks about ww1

But @devpav the enlightenment indeed doesn’t explain everything and we’re still figuring out the world, but the ideas of the enlightenment do form somewhat of a basis to work from

I’m gen-z

even tho i disagree with Peterson in a lot i agree that purpose is what help us overcome existential dread

also Nihilism is cancer

I feel like Peterson's message is directed at the wrong people

Who? @ThreeOfOne

if you cant overcome the fact we dont have a purpose you are a failure in the way of nature
