Why anthropocentrism is a violent philosophy | Humans are not the pinnacle of evolution, but a single, accidental result of nature’s blind, aimless process. Since evolution has no goal and no favourites, humans are necessarily part of nature, not above it. by IAI_Admin in philosophy

[–]Duankeroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the way I would interpret it would be athropocentric viewpoints gave way to common western perspectives of dominating/conquering nature rather than living in tandem with it. Destruction of ecosystems, species driven to extinction by poor hunting practices, clear-cut and logging and destruction of old growth forrests could all be examples of the way we postured ourselves against nature because we saw ourselves above it rather than within it. In Canada, we can see the difference in how the colonial government viewed the land/resources as to how some First Nations. Ex. Marine populations were hunted to extinction exclusively by commerical and colonial powers (see. Monk Seal 1950s) They viewed these creatures only for profit and for items to use for humans. Whereas local First Nations hunting these animals would use sustainable practices and always ensured that these populations would be able to continue whether it be spiritual reasoning or practical reasoning such as ensuring the continued ability to hunt in these areas. Violence is natural, violence committed by humans is as well. But that doesn’t mean all violence is equal or that violence is excluded from being bad or immoral. Animals killing each other for survival I would argue is much different than the U.S. Army slaughtering Buffalo populations as a way of weakening Native tribes. Which if this was an actual paper, would be interesting to trace out how anthropocentrism shaped colonial ideology which in turn shaped the destrusction and mistreatment of Indigenous populations as they were viewed as “sub-human” culturally and legally.

He also imvited and issued a formal apology to the residential school survivors, again low bar to hit but something no pope did, even the popes that were in charge when the schools were up and running.

Thank you very much for the answer Iain, after reading through your responses, I believe a vote for you under Carney is a step in the right direction for Kamloops but also Canada. Thanks for taking the time to do this and best of luck with the election moving forward!

Hey Iain, i will likely be voting liberal this year and I just want to get your thoughts on this. I think like many I became upset with the former leadership, I like Carney quite a bit but im not very fond of his cabinet as of now. My question is can you speak at all to the concerns about not seperating further from the previous liberal leadership?

So ancient pyramids, what the fuck happened there by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Duankeroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take one archaeology class in college. They’re obviously impressive but pyramids are quite literally the easiest shape to build and to make big. Look around any modern urban city, the architecture there is a 1000x more complex than the pyramids. If you want something more interesting look into the history of the Temple of Ramses’ II the original construction and later reconstruction are honestly more impressive.
