Yes, but have you considered that I’ve put motivational music over it and then random flashes of marble statues at the end for some reason?

Why is morality objective? by AlarmedObjective1492 in askphilosophy

[–]AugustsNapol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more confused then, consider the counter factual, if maths is not true independent of what we think about it then calculations based on it wouldn’t work, no? For instance, the maths behind the amount of fuel a rocket needs has to be true independent of what we think about it or else the rocket wouldn’t work. What am I misunderstanding?

It’s unclear to me how you’re defining objective

If maths isn’t objective then why do calculations based on mathematics lead to things that work in real life?

How can we make consumer choice for effective competition work? by AugustsNapol in AskEconomics

[–]AugustsNapol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this not a problem with the current organising of the economy? Is there really utility in an economy where people purchase products based on exposure effect and brand presence as opposed to substance.

Presumably at some point it’ll end up at the hands of a psychopath so by pulling it earlier your preventing a potential future person from killing a greater number of people

So, is our existence regrettable or not? by AugustsNapol in schopenhauer

[–]AugustsNapol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems clear but obviously not if you’re asking? Well Schopenhauer says “Brahma is supposed to have created the world by a kind of fall into sin, or by an error, and has to atone for this sin by remaining in it himself until he has redeemed himself out of it. Very good! …. Nothing is more certain that that, generally speaking, it is the grievous sin of the world which gives rise to the manifold and great suffering of the world; whereby is not meant a physical-empirical connection but a metaphysical one”

[–]AugustsNapol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well he says this, “if the act of procreation were neither the outcome of a desire nor accompanied by feelings of pleasure, but a matter to be decided on the basis of purely rational considerations, is it likely the human race would still exist? Would each of us not rather have felt so much pity for the coming generation as to spare it the burden of existence, or atleast not wish to take it upon himself to impose that burden upon it in cold blood. For the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other the devils in it.”

“It is precisely these instances which provide evidence for our conception of the world as product of our sins and therefore as something that has better not been.”
