i find art is the best example
because in that case
Consciousness or not, our mammal social instincts play out the same way.
contemplating our navels as u put it
acutally has tangible real world results
The result being building and building and building on top of the earth.
alot of people use art as a means to jsutify the existence of divinity
Reforming the planet in our image.
but thats just them defining the edge of their perception
wether the edge of your percetion has a name or not
it by definition cant be perceived
and comes to the same end either way in the practical world
That is a question that could totally be avoided and you'd be better off for it.
well thats the thing
Finding an excuse for you existing isn't inherently valuable.
i have no problem with people labeling it or not
but the idea of a label for it is an abstract concept
XD oh boy
🤔
well sorry man dont leave ur suicide note in here then bud
because it is the exact reason how a foundational value structure can even exist
in an abstract sense
whatever trick your brain plays on you
Why would I want to SD?
theres always going to be another reason and another reason and another reason
Accomplishment in the social sphere feels viscerally rewarding.
We can just be happy chasing lower brain functions.
the foundation however small is what our entire existence is made up of
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
