schopenhauer1

So Schopenhauer's idea is not about "boredom" in the sense that, "Boy I got nuthin' t'do today.. Shucks g-golly".. Look at his quote again:

Remind me to clone your "inbuilt code" and inject it in my minions when I devise an existence that requires workers to work to maintain my empire. Oh ...

Right but obviously Idealists would chide you into "what" that is... Clearly a universe without perspective is a metaphysical mess that non-idealists ...

What is relationship? You mine as well say, "Information processes"... or "occasions of experience" or "actual entitites" or "little green goblins gob...

Besides the fact that it puts the burden of proof from sentience to the universe itself, how else is this substantiated?

Well, of course you are going to win favors quoting literature about Schopenhauer (and his conception of Kant's Transcendental Idealism). From the man...

Nietzsche has to lay of the cocaine.

Don't know what this really means, honestly. I know that Whitehead talks about being and becoming and how an entity can change while be persistent, bu...

Updated last post a bit.

@"Possibility" I mean, the griping can be akin I guess to the "connection" and "awareness". It is collective recognition of the forced agenda, and bei...

"Potential of life" doesn't mean anything in the context of "fear of death". However, if you mean the "experiences of life that one may benefit from",...

Right but what is a view without sentience? Besides using Wittgenstein to just say, "This is nonsense!" is there any other good responses here? I've a...

Can you elaborate? Or just riffing on the HR thing?

Yes, a priori, this kind of conjecturing must be projections and imaginations. We can still try to "describe" it. Like if I say, "What do you think a ...

She's managing it like an HR person would :D, replete with slogans of "collaboration". You are a individualistic rogue if you think the whole scheme o...

:up:

Nonsense in the Wittgenstein meaning of it? If let's say Earth is no more, what of the universe? That's an event that can (and will) happen. So how is...

This just sounds like a complaint without content. If there are no sentient beings. What then? I'll try to use as little words that you don't like as ...

Your idea of "bad metaphysics" was just asserted without any jumping from your claim to your conclusion. A philosopher can't just write an article "Ba...

Gaslighting at its finest. So you think that fear of death is equivalent to THUS thinking it is okay to start life? Oh please try to justify that one....

Do you think a universe can persist if there is no observer/perspective? I know we can't imagine that world, but I guess my bigger question is, "what"...

I am not discussing knowledge versus other experience here. Rather, I am asking, what is a universe without any perspective? We imagine a universe ind...

That's the point. We can imagine, is different than what is going on. You are giving privilege again to humans. Our view of a "planet" would then be a...

I've posted at length about considering Whitehead's process philosophy, as you may or may not remember, way back. A couple times actually. I agree tha...

Right but I think you are dancing around an important point. You said here: I am not sure what that means. How is perspective "a contribution to the p...

The aim is not non being but not creating situations of unnecessary suffering and comply or die burdens onto another. Non being would be a result. You...

But what is a perspective free universe. One without sentience? Planets planeting? Particles particling? What is being without perspective? I get ther...

No, same thing. What is no view even mean? You will use a pseudo view to describe it. What is a world without perspective? Let me guess, my OP predict...

@"Possibility", stop trying to be semantically pedantic. You know what he means. I’ll phrase it this way: By procreating the parent is creating collat...

So I stated that the info may be if no applicable value. And indeed it is important to the researcher as is some metaphysics that isn’t applicable is ...

Theoretical physics of how the universe works is out of my control. It just is what it is. Some physics has no real use for humans. Should we not thin...

You don’t know unless you think about it. Thinking about it is in our control.

This is an interesting problem. I’ll call it The Problem of Perspective. It’s akin to the idea of a View from Nowhere. In an odd way, perhaps even Pla...

Trolling for what? I responded. You said it wasn’t responding to you. I’m asking how. Not trolling.

This is indeed petty. Point out what didn’t respond or get off the pot.

And I asking how I did not do that. Right now you just seem itching to troll me or start a fight and not a dialogue.

I get what you are saying, and I agree. I am just adding the fact that the absurdity of the unjustified existence is only gotten at by a sentient obse...

Yep, good stuff like here: Just a couple things I would add here for a more complete picture.. Basically what is on my profile: Life has necessary and...

Where did I not answer you?

But judgements are made not by the universe. Nothing is "inherently absurd". It is just absurd when an observer (the human) reflects upon it and point...

Oh I see what you are saying. Just basically that there shouldn't be something but there is, and that is absurd.

Can you explain this? I saw that earlier, but can you say it differently or expand?

Any different than any other project one does continually? Fuck life itself is just that. It’s just that this has no set resolution, but again, life i...

Well, absurdity though only has impetus in how it affects us. I see it affecting us in the patterns of constant sameness, and yet novelty is also absu...

It certainly is the source of suffering if we agree there is some form of inherent dissatisfaction with the animal and (amplified many times via) the ...

Because I am aware of the ignorance and bringing it to light? These are core to my philosophical viewpoints, so why wouldn't I discuss them at length ...

Thank you :D.

THE, PHILOSOPHY, THE? :D Philosophy might be defined as just that, especially anything beyond ethics or applied ethics. What is X? What is a truth sta...

I think exactly his point is this habit of ours to think in terms of always a “there” there because once “we” are created there is always a sense of l...

True enough, but mere existence need not be mere self-aware existence. We are not only being, but willing/becoming creatures with POV. But we are not ...
