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
albeit in a metaphysical sense
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.
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
i mean fuck im a musician lol
Same
so maybe that makes me biased saying its not useless
Well. So am I and I believe what I believe.
Sigh.
Back to the main topic.
Who wants us to move to this authoritarian liberal paradigm?
What is pushing us towards it and to what end?
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God
And how practical is it to avoid?
You can't control the world, you can just control yourself
Sounds like a cop out.
You can fight back
Obviously people are changing the world at an alarming rate.
