ONLY CHOICES

2017-01-11 00:14:40 UTC  

WITH DIFFERENT RESULTS

2017-01-11 00:14:44 UTC  

SO WE MUST CHOOSE BY RESULTS

2017-01-11 00:14:46 UTC  

AND NOT BY PROXY

2017-01-11 00:14:51 UTC  

SUCH AS IDEOLOGY (SPIT)

2017-01-11 00:16:20 UTC  

Nihilism with current ethical standards and people's mental health and spiritual levels

2017-01-11 00:16:24 UTC  

Will lead only to excess

2017-01-11 00:16:43 UTC  

Excess in action will lead to excess in reaction

2017-01-11 00:16:45 UTC  

Ask Hitler

2017-01-11 00:19:50 UTC  

To me, if we take Nihilism as a vehicle, the only thing you can predict is nothing but a dark and foreboding storm, a sort of confusing and bizzare cataclysm of excess and insanity

2017-01-11 00:27:26 UTC  

From what I have read from Brett writings, Nihilism is a path that must followed by those who can understand (similar to 'spiritual enlightenment', or plato's cave), and must not be shaped as an ideology

2017-01-11 00:27:39 UTC  

By now I'm certain that guy that lives above me murders people

2017-01-11 00:28:11 UTC  

excess seems to be a "german" things (nazism, or extreme xenophilia in 2016)

2017-01-11 00:30:00 UTC  

If i believe, as i do, that my actions should be purposeful to those who will remain after me, and that they are nothing but a tiny fragment in the grand order of things, the grand scheme that transcends any individual or collective agency

2017-01-11 00:31:15 UTC  

then Nihilism, as an idea that we should engage without any idea of borders, set goals etc

2017-01-11 00:31:20 UTC  

Seems not to serve that belief

2017-01-11 00:32:40 UTC  

We should not resist our purpose because "nothing makes sense", from a viewpoint that is in itself nothing but an atomized viewpoint

2017-01-11 00:34:06 UTC  

Not to mention how much Nihilism, as an unrestrained perspective, consumes

2017-01-11 00:34:38 UTC  

And we are living in an age where conservation is one of the chief concerns

2017-01-11 00:46:42 UTC  

when i type paul kersey in yandex it gives me that actor of once upon a time in he west if im correct

2017-01-11 00:48:07 UTC  

ok i found him

2017-01-11 00:54:22 UTC  

Paul Kersey appears to be very prolific author

2017-01-11 00:54:27 UTC  

He should write on Jews, lulz

2017-01-11 00:55:45 UTC  

Nihilism does not deny purpose, it only states that there is no inherent truth, in this case "the great order of things" is simply reality, did you read this article http://www.amerika.org/politics/faith-through-nihilism/ ?

2017-01-11 00:58:17 UTC  

Brett seemsto have completely then redefined what Nihilism means

2017-01-11 01:00:39 UTC  

he reduced nihilism to its simplest definition: "Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. " and then expanded everything from it

2017-01-11 01:01:54 UTC  

Hmmmm, people's values are not heir foundation, instead, their life experiences are foundations to their values

2017-01-11 01:02:33 UTC  

They do not necessarilly communicate their system of values through language at all, but through common experience which shapes the heritage they pass to their offspring

2017-01-11 01:03:36 UTC  

Values that you and me, as fellow cavemen developed through our fight for survival in conditions that are typical of our living space

2017-01-11 01:03:46 UTC  

Were not concoted in our intellectual set

2017-01-11 01:04:01 UTC  

But were profoundly and directly experienced and communicated

2017-01-11 01:05:26 UTC  

Hence preservation of our "values" which essentially means *US* as a specie, relies on protection of our heritage

2017-01-11 01:07:00 UTC  

That is quite different from suggesting Nihilism as a default cognitive position, which again needs to be passed in an intellectual way, which every specie will then process according to it's own heritage, which essentially means, values

2017-01-11 01:10:37 UTC  

I don't see how to apply it to group setting (since we are species who no matter what live as a group) besides Mafia

2017-01-11 01:10:50 UTC  

But perhaps there are still some things to be clarified

2017-01-11 01:11:05 UTC  

I'm looking forward to your answers, will read them tomorrow because I'm off to sleep

2017-01-11 01:18:28 UTC  

From my experience communication can be difficult between individuals from the same heritage

2017-01-11 01:19:12 UTC  

Each individuals are differents in abilities

2017-01-11 01:20:26 UTC  

Each of them must have similars experiences to be able to 'communicate' these experiences, hence the creations of 'values'

2017-01-11 01:21:49 UTC  

values arise from experiences, and experiences arise from perceptions
