We're hard wired for sophistry and rhetoric.
which yes includes reason
It's good to question your assumptions and heuristics
but is not limited to it
yeah but i can use postmodernist tactics to prove that racism is a good thing
But any good dialectic should question your assumptions and heuristics
i can prove anything with it
because i can disqualify reality itself with it
Your methods are esoteric.
it's all slight of hand nonsense
Is dealing with those questions practical?
well, it can be, yes
yes but there is a value to questioning reality
in teh sense that you then can define its boundaries
I think it is mostly intellectual masturbation.
well, in a certain sense, if we never questioned reality we couldn't have come up with the concept of god
and without the concept of divinity, you can't say that humans have intrinsic rights
You can't get most people on board with critical thinking.
which for any given person needs to be at least practiced
So for individual purposes, it is helpful.
and if all that matters is "reality" then there is no soul and life has no value in and of itself
That's the thing
HAHAHAH
lol
well my friend
Not everyone has an inner life lol
if thats what you think
i feel sorry for ya
or i should say what you beleive
only inthe sense
well julz make an argument for the sanctity of life without the concept of divinity
that you can embody value in your own life
without god
Me?
not just your own, life in general
You can't argue the sanctity of life imo
okay i guess if youre retarded then yes you may need a god to embue your life wiht value
selfishness is obviously the motivator for your own life mattering
not evryone is retarded tho
(im saying retarded hyperbolicly)
