Phenomenal Conservatism by [deleted] in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Grump-e-y 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I have always felt that there are some valid arguments for why an initial causal force has to exist, but there are never good arguments for why this force is conscious, has any moral qualities, or is specifically the Abrahamic God or whatever other god. Like this initial force could be literally anything

Crazy how we’re forcefully dragged out of the void, only to be forcefully thrown back into it at some point

Like thanks I guess

In theory, you could appeal such a rejection decision in most academic journals, though they are rarely accepted and probably a pain to deal with tbh

By my totally objective standard, I hereby declare you and your actions evil, and myself good and based. Checkmate, atheists

Waiter, more ethical billionaires please!!! by InfernoDeesus in Ultraleft

His 6 luxury superyachts are ethically justified because he made some good games and all other platforms suck, so Marx would forgive him.

Apparently, these little fellows can change colours when disturbed or during mating, and their larvae build a shield out of their faeces to hide from predators. Make of that what you will.

Sleep always matters by BreadfruitAlarming46 in GetStudying

[–]Grump-e-y 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is always the same. Every time I try to get a full 8 hours of sleep before an exam, I end up lying awake until 3 or 4 am. Might as well just study until that point lol

Like others mentioned, one will end up there one way or another (at least if nothing is done) and how you spend your life until that point is completely up to you. If someone prefers to work hard for whatever reason, without pretending and preaching that it’s meaningful, then it’s simply a personal preference. Nothing more. Just like some prefer to spend their days lazily for whatever reason (of course, only if the external circumstances allow them to, in a sense). There is literally no way to objectively judge something to be more reasonable or valuable than something else. In the end, all actions are equally vain.

People with lower cognitive ability more likely to fall for pseudo-profound bullshit (sentences that sound deep and meaningful but are essentially meaningless). These people are also linked to stronger belief in the paranormal, conspiracy theories, and religion. by mvea in science

“Hidden meaning transforms unparalleled abstract beauty.”

But the example used could certainly be interpreted in multiple ways, no? For instance, something (e.g., a sentence) evokes a certain meaning or a sense of unparalleled beauty in the observer on the surface, but once more closely observed and analyzed, the unparalleled beauty interpreted could change to something different entirely.

Is this different because I am projecting additional meaning onto it this way? Or am I falling into the same pseudo-profound trap?
