And it does our psychology more good than philosophy.
that foundation has to be built at the edges of our percetion too
Foundation isn't necessary at all.
or else theres no mechanism by which we are even sentient
Or animals wouldn't be able to function.
well obviousley
ohh boy
animals jsut have a different edge of percetion
so their value while based more on primal lower cognitive funtion
still exists
Yes.
and actually is way more simple to come about
in a way that you cant disprove
Animals live in a lower world to humans and have less ability to escape Samsara
unless youre going to tell me animals dont need food
or water
the idea of having a full life is that youre building on that foundation
But our recent adaptations are like duct tape. While our lower brain is a solid base.
that is built on teh edge of your perception
that wiiide wide wide space is where value exists
it makes it that beleiveing in a god in a pragmatic sense is the same as not beliving in a god
Higher brain stuff just seems like flavoring to lower brain drives to me.
and just ends up being intellectual jerking off
So abstraction is basically just aesthetic.
BUT with no real world outcome
well like i said
there are tangible things we can abstract over
which brings me back to the point i was trying to make about god
abstracting about something past our perceptual reality is essentially aesthetic
its liek saying
how ami decorating the foundation of my house
well fuck nobodies gonna see that shit cuz its underground
I think we were talking about two different things at the same time and our points just converged in a hamfisted way.
and who cares if ur foundations painted red or blue
if you cant even see it
Part of a classical liberal arts education is a study of aesthetics
also makes trying to paint it really fucking dumb
yes but in tangible ways
hence the art example i gave earlier
lol and dont get me wrong im not saying aesthetics is useless in a pragmatic way
