Philosophy Thread

Lmao no. This is far from the most intellectual of websites to discuss things. It's more to have fun and shoot the shit @Garakuta

I'd be interested in what you think of Ayn Rand and Objectivism then. (I don't agree with it myself but can respect the individualism of it) (Also I'm only bringing this up because I've been listening to a lot of Rush) @Teddy

@justforthelulz

If Ben 10 can transform into Aliens, can he become Mexican? 🤔 @strider_01 @Infinox10 @Krossite

Well, he's not wrong. Technically God has facilitated the very slow but inevitable deaths of trillions of humans alone, not counting the hundreds of millions of trillions of all species if he was/is real. @hazzack

Unironically, the question of what makes a "hot" fanfic would fall into the philosophy of Aesthetics. @Krossite

 

[Garakuta]

Ah, ok. Then to every topic in this thread:

I disagree

 

[hazzack]

@Garakuta you are cool and awesome, and almost everyone you've met loves you. it's just too bad you disagree with this statement.


anyway, God exist until someone can prove it otherwise

 

[Garakuta]

I got one for you guys: What is the limit of human horniness?
Literally everything in existence being sexualized in manga, from humans to animals to many things more, is there an end to this depravation of the human mind and soul? Will there be manga in the future, that depict even abstract concepts, like free will, freedom or even god, in a micro-bikini with fat titties saying things like „Hyaa~! Nietsche-kun, you cant do that! If you go any deeper I will dieee~!“. And if everything is sexualized, what will there remain of humanity? Will they ascend beyond, to something entirely greater than the horny, pleasure seeking monkeys they are now?

 

[Garakuta]

@hazzack I disagree with that disagreement

 

[justforthelulz]

@Garakuta
Rule34 posits there is no limit to human horniness. It is perhaps the greatest driver of progress, for better or for worse.
Abstract concepts have long been given vaguely anthromorphic shapes, from the myths of old to modern comic books and manga.
In the words of a great sage, "A cat is fine too."

 

[Tamerlane]

Honestly, many psychologists say that it's unknown the upper limits of human pleasure. But if I were to guess, it'd either be full Dark Eldar or that rat experiment where they put a button that directly attached to stimulate the release of reward chemicals (primarily dopamine) where they keep pushing the button until they die of hunger. (The amgydala, which releases reward chemicals, is also tied to the center for hunger, for the record.)

As a Buddhist, at least philosophically, I have my own issues with hedonism, but you do you, pal. @Garakuta @justforthelulz

 

[dabson]

My favorite philosophy is hedonistic Buddhism.

 

[Greenfrost]

So, imagine you discovered that you were jacked into a matrix like simulation, and the entire world you've been living in, and everyone in it was just data. Then, you find a way to escape, only to discover that the real world was an apocalyptic wasteland. Would you try and make it in the unforgivable and cruel reality, or would you jack yourself back in and continue living the lie?

 

[justforthelulz]

@Greenfrost
What do you mean, "imagine"?
Is the escape from reality not just MangaDex, whilst the real world beyond the digital confines a haven of chaos?

 

[Tamerlane]

We call that Tantric Buddhism. It's weird and it's more religiously based than the type I tend to subscribe to philosophically. (Mahayana Buddhism) Basically, think the Kamasutra, but it's less about advice and more about putting it into practice. @Dabson

We call that the Experience Machine Dilemma, and it's a well-known and discussed thought experiment.

Ironically, the primary influence for the Matrix is more Descartes and his perception on metaphysics, though the Experience Machine does work more closely and the creators were aware of it when working on the Matrix. @Greenfrost @Justforthelulz

 

[dabson]

@tamerlane
A. The kamasutra isn't really hedonism in the slightest.
B. I was joking.
C. That version of the religion is hedonism adjacent at best.
D. Philosophy cringe.
E. Hedonism cringe.

 

[Tamerlane]

More referring to Tantric sex with the Kama Sutra, but sorry, should have specified.

But this entire thread is basically a shitpost with some philosophy to accent it. @Dabson

 

[dabson]

@tamerlane
Which was what I was literally doing SMH.

 

[Tamerlane]

This should clear it up @dabson

 

[pandascepter]

Define philosophy......

@hazzack @Tamerlane @Justforthelulz @dabson @Garakuta

Empty handed, brain damage. You can't fight?

Life is suck for sure, huh ?

edit : it's for me "the quote"

 

[pandascepter]

Life is like a star, you can see it radiate light from the void, yet you can't fetch it.
;
You cant fetch it no matter what would happend, maybe you ask god "why?" she doesnt answer your question..... because life already given a meaning itself alrd, it shine throughout your life, you just doesnt realize it. what is this thing, why'd it keep following me, it only radiate it shine, sometimes you can feel why is it radiate, but you still doesnt know why. Until "it" doesnt radiate it's shine anymore, life light, ahhh so unfair right ? When you know what's up, "it" just goes away.....

 

[Greenfrost]

@Tamerlane "This is far from the most intellectual of websites to discuss things."

You say'n we're all stupid? That we're not edjamacated? That we can only count to 100 by gathering 7 people and counting each of their fingers ............wait a minute.

 

[Tamerlane]

Honestly, I believe everyone is an idiot, it's just that some people are more stupid than others.

Even the smartest people did dumbshit or believed in nonsense at times. They just were less dumb in aggregate. @Greenfrost

I don't know what you're on about. @pandascepter

@Tamerlane @pandascepter
The ramblings of a madman and the preachings of a wiseman are often indistinguishable.
