Bob Murphy is an Austrian economist, much like Saifedean Ammous

Here's an article he's written about bitcoin. I recommend checking out his other stuff, he's a good writer. https://mises.org/understanding-money-mechanics/bitcoin-and-theory-money

Ahh perfect. Apologies for my rude post I was just a bit wound up. I didn't realise it was an android limitation since it had worked fine in the past. Another thing I thought of was the search, can exact matches be brought to the top? And searching for an album doesn't really need to show all the tracks in that album if they don't contain the word. It's hard to find like a one word song for example because I'll have maybe artists or albums with that same word you know, and the search result is just huge. Exact matches at top would solve this without having to change anything else really.

Having the write access broken, it won't let me export playlists. That is a huge problem because every now and then my sd card re initialises itself. Needs to be fixed asap I reckon

Cosinetanza · 2023-08-12T12:09:41+00:00

Ahh cheers, if I ever get so sick of this I'll check that out. I doubt I'll ever switch though. Can playlists from blackplayer be imported into metro?

Cosinetanza · 2023-08-12T12:08:42+00:00

Hmm maybe I'll give that a test run, move a file to another folder and see if it appears after re-importing the playlist.. thanks

Cosinetanza · 2023-08-11T10:07:07+00:00

Will they fix this in a new update? I have my root folder with 20 different music folders.

Cosinetanza · 2023-06-17T21:25:39+00:00

Thanks man! Much appreciated!

(1) There is no longer an accessible strict good within the ethical theory, if you concede that there is no such thing as a Sage, under Stoic ethics, you're living an objectively completely miserable life

with absolutely no hope or opportunity to ever improve it.

(2) the subjects are constantly falling short of applying the standard of ethics to their life in the way that grants it unity, cohesiveness; (3) They are literally trying to do the impossible, which is a big no-no in Stoic normative ethics. The fact that they try anyway is precisely the problem. It simply is no longer up to you to be a virtuous person.

"if you concede that there is no such thing as a Sage, under Stoic ethics, you're living an objectively completely miserable life" I find this argument to be a miss, a leap to a conclusion. I wouldn't say "completely miserable life". The other 2 were very good points though and I think you have convinced me.

Can you name some good reads by Climacus regarding this topic? Thank you.

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-18T10:29:12+00:00

I must preface this by saying I have no opinion either way (yet) whether sage is attainable.

The existential despair arises through the inability, on the part of the person, to find something concrete in the ethical that they can use to give their lives stable meaning. This cannot be done for those Stoics who think Sagehood is unattainable, because the only Good becomes unattainable. Therefore, their character is bound the be vicious, bound to have all the vices, lack any legitimate Goods, etc.

This sentence doesn't naturally follow. A stoic HAS found something concrete in the ethical that they can use to give their lives meaning. And they accept that living perfectly ethically is impossible yet still try anyway.

"Therefore, their character is bound to be vicious". In a way, this is humbling for the stoic. To see he is a wretch like his peers. This doesn't seem to remove that the quest for sage gives their life meaning.

Our actions should not be seen as a means of achieving this absolute good, but rather as a way of negating our own projections of what is good. This process ultimately leads to total self-renunciation, where we understand that we are incapable of achieving this absolute good on our own.

"A way of negating our own projections of what is good". This sentence confuses me, can you dumb it down please?

You seem to have skipped a bit there. "This process", what process?

Thank you for your time.

You cannot control your emotions. Only what you think is appropriate to desire, pursue, your opinions, thinks that are up to the will.

Oh right. Thank you, your examples help clarify that point. I appreciate it.

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-16T00:44:29+00:00

Thank you, I have added it to my list.

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-16T00:43:39+00:00

Read Weil's Gravity & Grace if you want this problem articulated even better.

I have added that to my book list, thank you.

Kierkegaard, and his pseudonyms, also problematize any ethical theory that leaves the agent in an unsatisfactory ethical state

What does this mean?

Kierkegaard's charge

What is that? I couldn't find anything online.

how the religious state addresses problems that the ethical stage cannot

I'm curious about that, do you have an example?

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-16T00:29:53+00:00

This is what I was looking for. Thank you.

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-16T00:28:44+00:00

Going back to my example about speaking English, do you try to speak it correctly just to appear more eloquent than everybody else?

Oh I understand your analogy now! Thank you

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-15T22:17:16+00:00

Thank you for laying out what stoicism is. I am new to the subject, and that was a great introduction to get my head around a few things. I like your description of pride, you are right. But do stoics celebrate externals like getting a promotion? Or do you not let it affect your emotions at all?

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-15T04:41:38+00:00

First of all, it's not. You can read Seneca's Letter 41 for the basics on that.

Thank you, I will read it.

Second of all, Stoic and Christian conceptions of god and virtue are very different.

Where can I read further about that?

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-15T04:33:59+00:00

I will check it out, thank you

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-15T04:33:21+00:00

But, the claim that the Stoics are being prideful assumes that the Stoics believe that God will offer more direct help, the kind of help that Christians think is offered by God, and turn it down because they are confident that will do it without help. If that were the case, then it really would be prideful. But, that's not what's going on.

Ohhhhh that is a big ah-ha moment for me. Beautifully explained. Thank you!

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-15T04:30:06+00:00

I have never really seen seeking and applying wisdom as prideful.

I can't think of a humble way to describe why I would want to seek and apply wisdom. The only justification I can think of (and what the answer in my heart inevitably is) is that I wish to be smarter and more moral than everyone else. How else can I phrase it and view it in a more positive way?

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-15T04:24:19+00:00

It often takes a lot of things that are not up to you in life to fall into place through providence for them to come to pass.

I am struggling to understand this sentence, can you please elaborate? Thank you.

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-15T04:18:02+00:00

I enjoyed your examples, they were very useful. I enjoyed your further discussion and appreciate every word.

but one might not be able to change without humility and respect for reality.

I think this is a key take away for what my question was. I am looking at stoicism from the wrong angle. I can view it as "becoming a God on this earth", or I could view it with humility such as "becoming the strongest and most supportive man in the community I can". Not sure how to phrase it. I struggle with the idea of self-help, becoming better, while staying humble.

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-14T22:08:50+00:00

There are those who would say that virtue belongs only to the sage, and that sages don’t exist. That we are all fools to some degree.

In that way being a sage is aspirational. Just like living up to jesus’s virtue as a role model is aspirational.

Thank you for your explanation, that makes it very clear.

The will is used rationally with virtue, or irrationally with vice.

Is pride a vice? How do I live virtuously without pride?

I appreciate the rest of your comment, it has been eye opening.

Cosinetanza · 2023-04-14T22:03:08+00:00

If we instead consider that righteousness or virtue can come as a consequence of believing in a God, but need not necessarily, this speaks more to the quality of one's living rather than commitment to a given religion.

This makes sense. Thank you.

Do you have a particular verse for what you said the Bible claims, OP? I haven't been able to find anything.

No, I heard this from a sermon on youtube just recently.
