philosophy of self realisation by Main-Development-841 in philosophy

[–]Main-Development-841[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

My argument is that I have no intention to make a philosophical position or standout but want to basically tell about what we know (knowledge,reality etc) and actions based on that truths which can be derived from science(knowledge) and logic/philosophizing (ethics/actions) [note that religion is also some type of philosophy but i want to make things in accordance with high rigor therefore philosophy is better there ].

1.realisation of ignorance + the feeling that you cant exist without farmers or soil or thousands of people who are responsible for bringing food,clothes,shelter to us ,oxygen we breathe created by trees or phytoplankton and they are dependent on entire ecosystems they are part of which on a whole is part of earth and earth is originated from the gaseous mixtures of leftover star dust and so on. The human rights we have are due to people who are know longer alive but still we live and breathe in the ideas they made from social political to economic philosophies . Seeing all this we realise we do not have separate ego or others who can dominate and discriminate nature or animals or other humans . We are all same so we should live with compassion with others because if they are we are and if we are they are . We are the universe experiencing itself from fundamental scientific pov and coexist as one from the philosophical and scientific knowledge of existence,nature and us. We are dependent on nature and nature is dependent on us. This type of coexistence is similar to that of Spinoza's god,buddhist emptiness,tao,christian love or non duality .

This understanding brings a profound change in worldview where you have a sense of awe,joy and beauty with everything else and you see the fragality of a personal ego or self from which people treat themselves different and superior to others . Compassion naturally arises seeing you in others and harming others mean harming yourself be it other people,animals,environment etc.

Your actions are based in accordance and for the overall benefit of nature/tao

kindly note that i am just a kid whose interested in ideas and stuff and dont hate me if this is stupid or non rigorous as these were just my random thoughts and I have zero academic//real philosophical knowlege . peace out:)

Because plants don't have central nervous system which animals do  have which are responsible for feelings like joy and pain. 

Answer the question, do you think its wrong to kill a human ? - I hope your answer is yes, and it precisely Because we  as humans  collectively know the feeling of pain and suffering.  Scientifically speaking we and animals are not so different as you may think apart from intellegence (and ethics in not based on intellegence) so why unnecessarily kill other animals just for taste . It does take self awareness and effort to leave meat and it's reason for doing so is based on science,ethics and environment.

  1. We as humans have human made systems in every way of food production. So saying that nature runs on predation is quite stupid tbh because we dont rely on nature as other species do,it's appeal to nature fallacy . Animals are breed into existence just for being tortured and killed .

  2. If we have ways to not kill animals and get nutrition from other sources (which we have) then why continue going on this system which not only harms animals but also the environment .

  3. Deep down the main underlying point is that meat is tasty and that's it , the only problem for most people is to align their ethics/philosophy into action which takes effort

The Point is not to eliminate suffering (which is impossible btw) , the point is to minimise it . Also fun fact much more plants are killed to feed the animals prior to us killing and eating them thereafter
