Your non-reply reply to my (i.e. showing that your previous objection to my counter-argument fails) speaks for itself, sir.

When we say "transcendence", don't we usually mean something metaphysical like 'X transcends, or is beyond, Y' (e.g. ineffable, inexplicable, uncondit...

Okay, you can't ... ... so I stand by my counter-argument until someone (or myself) refutes it. :up: :up:

:up: :up: @"Lionino" :fire: :100: @"Athena" (re: pre-Hebrew Bible antiquity of "Genesis" stories ... :up: )

From my counter-argument: both 1 and 2 (re: OP) together imply 3. If not, refute i.e. show that the latter (bad) is not entailed by the former (good)....

Okay, on both counts we disagree.

And so what's your point?

Sure ...

IIRC, there was no "Europe" until Charlemagne's reign. Several centuries later, in the wake of "the Black Death", my guess is Magna Carta (proto-repub...

Thanks. You're moving the goalposts: according to the OP, "objective morality" is conditional, not "existence". Your objection above is incorrect.

Consider: Show where my reasoning goes wrong and thereby defeat this counter-argument to the OP. (fyi – I'm traveling today so I'm on my phone and may...

Okay, we're only talking past each other.

I don't understand the question.

Deeper, more basic, than that, I think religion (i.e. 'immortality' rituals) is our species' earliest collective coping strategy for fear of death (i....

Yes, and it was the 'orgiastic worship (i.e. revels = revelations) of the Dionysus-myth' in particular – not the myth itself –that N found life-affirm...

Agreed, just as I point out here (this link below was included in the post before my previous one): https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/...

An assertion without argument deserves to be dismissed without argument. :wink:

Asylums are rife with such "true ... evidence".

i.e. life-affirming ("ja-sagen")

Yes, thanks for catching the typo. Well, at least @"Sam26" got the sarcasm. :wink:

I can't ask the question any clearer If you don't get it, then I assume the answer is "no". LLMs are still just sophisticated toys. Never mind, carry ...

So what, if any, philosophical questions does ChatGPT# ever raise (without begging them)?

Perhaps it seems that way because N's assessment was Dionysian and not as Apollionian as S's assessment.

No, it's more to do with his style and curmudgeonly charming wit and the potent way he braids together Kantianism and (philosophical strands of) Hindu...

Nazism is the Aryan liberation movement. :roll:

Projection like this is often a confession (e.g. Zionfascists or sympathizers in the 2020s). :shade:

I'm (very) old school: they (we) are what we do and not merely what they (we) say – practice alone cultivates habits. To "profess" is merely to preach...

For me, "existence" is atemporal and things which "exist in time" are temporal – like the relation between 'the continuum' and 'sets', respectively – ...

I do not understand this sentence. Also, "existence" =/= "existing" (i.e. ground =/= grounding). Again:

Explain how.
