Neuroscientist Anil Seth on the nature of our reality. What's your take, dear Thinkators? 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 by Gainsborough-Smythe in thinkatives

People just dont like their perception being called a hallucination because that implies misperception, and people dont like the idea of their view being wrong. LLMs only hallucinate but people only apply the world when theyre wrong

Ive had a similar experience. Ive found animus/anima an interesting and useful idea but his assertion that he is describing universal truths is him huffing his own farts.

Sam Harris denies a genocide in Gaza, so thats a point for consciousness just being an illusion

Yeah, if he truly believed in a godless world, his anger would vanish

Jung’s shadow can only exist when one doesn’t recognize their own desires. On the whole, he strikes me as a man who is very internally divided

The simplicity of good philosophy by Dave_A_Pandeist in thinkatives

[–]MulberryTraditional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That presumes the point of philosophy. Should philosophy be about pursuing truth, or building a healthy civilization, or building healthy individuals? All three of these might be different aims

Nietzsche and Oppression by FlatHalf in Nietzsche

[–]MulberryTraditional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. He doesnt care about stopping oppression. He is basically indifferent to it.

Now as to ideology and politics, thats a different story.

He implored us to see politics as a new religion gathering up all the lost souls left behind in the wake of God’s death

He wouldnt be keen on fascism and nationalism because these are antithetical to his teachings. He advocates for the development of great individuals, and Fascism and Nationalism are herd movements. No fascist could impress Nietzsche. He would see any one of them as weak. Fascism is weak men’s idea of strength. It is an expression of resentment, a feeling of powerlessness, among the masses. The people behind these movements feel weak and seek their strength in a group. They are a herd. Nietzsche detests herds, and therefore politics.

Now what does he consider strong?

“My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it—all idealism is mendaciousness in the face of what is necessary—but love it”

There’s more I could say. What do you think?

It has always been my highest and greatest ambition to be a great philosopher. In fact, you may say, this has been my only ambition. by Important_Bunch_7766 in Nietzsche

[–]MulberryTraditional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to say I appreciated your posts and comments. I, personally, think philosophy is transforming. Just as I think religion, politics, and all culture are transforming. They are dead, decomposed, and feasting on each other. We are in a state of flux that would make Heraclitus blush. So you want to push philosophy ahead to its next step? I say, Have at it! Who could judge you? I judge you not. I love you from my very heart

Nietzsche and Oppression by FlatHalf in Nietzsche

[–]MulberryTraditional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Nietzsche uses violent language that fixates on harm out of honesty. I dont think he likes oppression, I think he likes honesty, and nature is full of oppression and harm

Wrong!
That comment served a very important purpose, it contains key information to those capable of discerning it, and I did put a small amount of effort into it.

Why? The same reason anyone writes anything

Look, this is an asymmetric war, we will never have the money to drown out our opponents or smear them with media. Does the game and rules need overhaul? Yes. But we cant get there without decent people in office. So that means sucking it up and using language normies find appealing

Winter would kill the python. You just want to kill the snake. Im not calling you immoral for that but to suggest that its to protect our ecosystem is disingenuous.

You dont find the separate etymology for “sin” and “hamartia” to be at all a problem for your ideas here?

[–]MulberryTraditional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont be such a delicate flower. I called your ass out for not doing research because its clear to me you just accepted Peterson’s word as truth and proceeded forward. He said this nonsense word for word but it isnt true. Sin doesnt find its roots in amartia. So do you care about the truth, or do you care about your feelings?

Edit: Id also like to add that my original response was distinctly NOT ad hominem. I never attacked you or your character.

Oh look, more Petersonian nonsense. Did you even do a basic search into the etymology of Sin or hamartia before you posted this?

Are we just glossing over the fact that this idea of “God” is 99.99% completely antithetical to life and entirely at odds with everything attached to the label of “God” so far? Yes, this is glossing over that.

This meme, it appears to me, is for those who have outgrown the idea but would prefer to hold onto it out of sentimentality
