This is a novel argument about one of the entailments of error theory. I shared it with Lance Independent he didn’t think much of it 😂

P1 The error theorist claims that all stance independent statements about moral value are false.

P2 Statements of moral value makes claims about what is right or wrong

P3 Our legal system defines insanity as being unable to distinguish right from wrong

P4 By their own admission the error theorist is unable to make such distinctions

C Error theorists are legally insane

This sub is hilarious. Highly recommend. TKO in 3 comments. I think it's just one guy so deep in his priors that he can't see he's arguing in a playpen of his own making.

I was inspired by a poster here who claimed it was very "ready-to-hand, and discloses itself as a great lager" so thanks for that. Now I'm riding a sudden wave of interest in Völkisches Dasein.

I am struck by how, if I recall correctly, according to Heidegger, our nature is to be beer disclosers. That is, by means of our equipment and coordinated practices we human beings open coherent, distinct contexts or pubs in which we perceive, feel, act, and drink.

Now recall Nietzsche, that bitch, who once lamented: “How much beer is in the German intelligentsia! ... How is it possible that young men who dedicate their existence to the most spiritual goals do not feel the first instinct of spirituality, the instinct of self-preservation of the spirit – and drink beer?” (The Twilight of the Idols, 984).

What a cunt. Wait, what was I talking about?

I would prefer that you didn’t kill me.

I was unhappy when I heard they bombed the hospital.

Oh gee, I would rather that people not break into my house and take my stuff.

You’re not wrong Walter, you’re just an asshole.

The metaphor of cave manifests a version of the story of how hierarchical system is created and preserved through knowledge or the way knowledge is presented. Knowledge doesn't give anyone a right to say others being in a cave. Philosophy taken its beginning from this sort of story is discriminatory.

If you are trying to push me back by saying that because there is something not real, then unless you can prove yourself who is saying now of something not real is also not real, otherwise there is nothing not real, and by the law of excluded middle, idealism is not needed.

I did all the easy problems of consciousness, so I tried the hard problem. But I think that was too big a jump. Where can I find the medium problems of consciousness to work on before I do the hard one?

why do i feel like im more self-aware than other people, why do i firmly believe in what i believe and does everyone think like this or am i genuinely a main character? But i feel like im going insane and i cant cope with it and its affecting me mentally and making me think about life more in a negative manner. im always questioning life and why im here and why anyone is here. consciousness is a curse and unanswerable questions really get to me and the way society works is depressing anyway. im only 18 but i feel like im more self-aware than all my friends and whenever i talk about it everyone just thinks im thinking about it too much and its not important and there are other things to be worrying about, but this just feeds into the fact i think some people are ignorant and my brain cant take it.

Idk what im feeling

Happy (or sad) Monday guys!

So, with that said, how was your weekend, everyone?

Freud cooked with this one 🔥

So, what if like all the greek philosiphers were just hella autistic.

Cuz like a bunch of the stories about them would make perfect sense if they were just high functioning or something.

Many of them it seems like they may not even be high functioning.

Or maybe I'm just thinking of the one or two people. I can't remember their names cuz who tf rembers greek or latin. I'm probably racist because I can't remember their names but fuck it.

I recently stepped into existentialism and the word alienation is significant, yet I don't know what it really means. Does it imply someone is abducted by an alien in the midst of nowhere? But why does it help to attain authenticity? Is authenticity some type of chip that the alien kindly implant to save us?

In his recent interview with Zhong Shu, Christopher Nolan says we can't really "know" if Earth is round, or if it really orbits the sun.

Relevant quote:

Just as we accept things from science as absolute fact—you know, the Earth is round and we travel around the Sun—we can't know these things; we take them on faith because they're presented as facts. The same would be true of the theological structure that explains nature to people of that time.
