BEing Be an empty fiction. Thinking, an effect of the instincts. Metaphysics is the referring of various phenomena back to an origin of "unity."

Aye No metaphysics.

The problem with most metaphysics is that it posits BEING when there is only BECOMING. That we can never achieve being is the reason we say the senses...

Oh, do I sense you've delved into a little Deleuze? Say a man has character, he has a typical experience which always recurrs, because being is an emp...

Normal: A typical experience.

nah, metaphysical truth. And, I feel you on not reading and listening to something at the same time, but it's not bad when the words and pace literary...

We know of plenty beyond our reality... it's why we require tools and equipment that go beyond the scope of our reality to even view them.

If that's the case then he ought to poke his nose into Jung's seminar on Nietzsche's Zarathustra... it actually goes through much of what he's asking ...

It’s a grammatical seduction—the grammar forces a subject ("things") and then smuggles in an inner "within themselves." To project the "I" away from "...

What is a fiction in a world where appearance is perhaps more important than "truth?"

Is it any wonder you're so missing the picture with Nietzsche...

Ascetic Socratism, decadence, self-hate, life-denying...

Aye, you've mentioned before. I was kinda providing you the location of the line in question without clarifying if you knew or not. I know a lot of pe...

Perhaps try understanding someone before misrepresenting their position. Seems you lost understanding at "fiction." Whatever rhetoric you project into...

Nah, you're just trying to reify what I'm saying through your filters and it's not registering because, you simply haven't the right optics for unders...

what's all this Jazz about Wittgenstein? I guess you thought I'm quoting him or something? Sorry homie, mostly my thoughts from reading Nietzsche (and...

@"Wayfarer" In light of the ending of § 5: Reason in Philosophy; Twilight of Idols. (Ya boy Nietzsche) "I fear we shall never be rid of God, so long a...

I think Nietzsche's last aphorism was something like "You can do it, put your au jus into it!"

Nietzsche details this as The Hour of Great Contempt.

Things like substances, essences, and unchanging truths, are mostly just fictional. Metaphysics is mostly "what a human says about a thing." A reifica...

It’s mostly just horseradish at sushi restaurants, though you can ask for REAL wasabi and they will bring you... probably at charge.

not gonna lie, I stopped reading at around group rights and said ... "man, that message 'trans rights = human rights,' really went over dude's head, p...

You Genius, I literally read that bit not long ago, but you saying it here some how connected the dots of a few thoughts that have been running wild o...

now you're just being silly! Silly!

That is what many silly people believe. :cool:

Universality is a seduction that occurs through grammatical construction. Grammar gives us subjects so we imagine substance, Grammar gives us predicat...

Isn't this called the GI Bill? :P

when one holds even in some part to the moral "mihi ipisi scripsi" (I write for myself), I believe that begins to give birth to their own language gam...

It could be like bug bounties, in software? I suppose a problem there would be having to pay people to sift through all the bad answers. I don't see t...

I would say that quoting yourself, from a book as if the book were right simply out of merely existing, shows that in a doubletime fashion. I've been ...

Np, but figured I'd add that imo, more or less, the predicament of modernity comes down to man taming himself. Turning away from his instincts.

This is where Nietzsche details that any long obedience in the same direction seems to always reveal something worth living for, as it is that long ob...

Art informs philosophy.

Language is an irreducibly platonic representation of our ideas presented in a reduced form. Often a ghastly and hamfisted representation.

facts, but all together life affirming illusions.

Every "right" is created by the valuations of man, valuations nature doesn't give a fuck about. Pretty easy concept to understand I think? Rights to s...

Phallusophy mostly be like "my dick is mine, but maybe it could be hers (and theirs!) too?" :cool:

The problem as always, is: that people adapt lies to fulfill the testimony of their senses. Such as the "truly" good. They formulate out of the prejud...

Biologically, no. They are emasculated men who have injected themselves into their own platonic representation of "Das Weib."

All philosophy is a style of Sophist-ication

Philosophy, for most, is generally a type of rationalization of ones own prejudices in an attempt to harmonize oneself to oneself, as well as an attem...

that's an interesting question... we could detail psychology as a middle ground between the two disciplines, but it's obvious that psychology isn't th...

Seems like a trick question. The probability remains the same every time they flip the coin after she wakes. But if she wrote the tally down, then she...

You’re right that to say “truth is a maintenance project of cognition” is itself an epistemic claim. But that doesn’t undermine my point... it reinfor...

Truth is the shadow of our categories, justified only for as long as the mind can hold them together.

The deepest conceit of philosophy: that metaphysics and epistemology are about the world as it is. Every epistemology carries within it a metaphysics,...

Honestly, I’m curious... where on the forum are the discussions that tie philosophy back to the real world? A lot of threads seem to spiral into wordp...
