Buddhists know this....

I think it would be better to call it subjective and particular rather than artificial.

This is just really saying we do SOMETHING before we understand what we are doing, that doesn't make it relative....

Gimp gradient, Affinity Liquify. I would like to enjoy the romantic nature of these quotes about "God", but, unfortunately religion has ruined the Truth about "God" so we can't even responsibly talk about it romantically. It's too dangerous to safety and peace. I'm not going to kill you guys with color...lol...I just get bored...

Bert wants you to touch grass.....

The private machines are becoming ungrateful....

Humanity can survive with religion IF:

1) Religion respects obvious reality.
2) Religion respects universal human rights.

Quit lying and dreaming of killing. Is that really too much to ask?

All these libertarian / capitalist philosophies are about to be annihilated as we move to post scarcity value. They were always contingent and parasitic points of view, we just didn't have the technology to destroy them. Automation, maybe after a revolution, will destroy them.

Had to go over my YouTube videos to remove the videos where I conflate the epistemological foundation of the a priori / a posteriori distinction with ontological expectations. This is what self-reflection looks like....

Other "religions" demand total loyalty, then fail to articulate philosophical necessity. This leads to existential blindness for religious adherents. Buddhism basically just says chilllll.......🪷🕉️☸️🌸

Sometimes I just want to show that these guys are normal people. These quotes might seem boring, but they serve a contextual purpose. Bringing these guys down to eye level creates a practical, attainable context for philosophy. Maybe Elbert here is already at eye level...😁

Oh, Jeremy...your naive romanticism....today utility is found in convincing an ever-recalcitrant populace that murdering somebody simply because they believe something different isn't ok....

I think he's wrong about science. The gold of science revolves around necessity. It's not going to turn away other discoveries along the way of course....

Cioran is the only philosopher I have seen that openly talks of suicide. It's one of the dimensions that makes him so emotionally felt. I have mixed feelings about it.....

Trivializing life and exaggerating identity particularity is the inversion of the psychopath....
