/phi/ - Philosophy A board for pretentious debates on epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and logic.

Apply them to anything: Science, sex, your mom's cooking. No topic is too sacred or profane.
Consider this your haven where being a self-righteous, over-analytical asshole is encouraged.

What isn't allowed:

1. /b/, /x/, or /rnb/. Go spew your unhinged rants elsewhere.
2. Brainless drivel. If you can’t string two coherent thoughts together, take it to Twitter X.
3. Claims without arguments. "Because I say so" or "because you're gay" doesn’t count as reasoning. Repeatedly trolling and bait replies without substance will be banned.

Global rules apply. No, you can’t argue your way out of a ban for being an idiot. Add to the conversation, don't detract from it.

Apparently there is a strong aversion within the scientific community regarding how consciousness tends to go beyond regular cause and effect when you measure its influence on its surroundings. The materialistic interpretation of reality fails to explain why these unusual occurences exist and why you can never see a physical link between these events.

Are you convinced that there is only matter in this universe and nothing else?

The best part, like this study says, is that a few tenths of an angstrom can make a protein useless.

one supposes, obviously, that the simple fact of the matter is that free-will is much too terrifying for much of the herd, and they are much more inclined (perhaps reticent) to wear the labels and play the roles doled out by those they merely perceive as having some sort of authority, when in actuality, the exalted among us, too, are beholden to self-imposed... farce.

To be sure, if the role is brimming with excess licentiousness, then all the better.

For where is conducting one's self civilly and with the common-interest at heart of interest?

#41- Scholars of the highest class, when they hear about the Tao, earnestly carry it into practice. Scholars of the middle class, when they have heard about it, seem now to keep it and now to lose it. Scholars of the lowest class, when they have heard about it, laugh greatly at it. If it were not thus laughed at, it would not be fit to be the Tao (...)

#1- (...) Always without desire we must be found, if it's deep mystery we would sound; But if desire always within us be, It's outer fringe is all that we shall see (...)

perhaps it's that free-will (or personal liberty) is readily (and very much intentionally) conflated with anarchy/disorder/disobedience

obviously the result of a tradition that proposes that the "natural order" descends from a divinity (with a top-down definition) to the king/regent and then on down the hierarchy (to be obeyed by the peasantry) COMPOUNDED with (particularly in the west) that /kernel of truth/ (again, same definition source) that human beings are inherently sinful/wicked and sans the hierarchy all would be lost

what humans are, inherently, is social and compassionate (lest perverted to believe otherwise) AND opportunistic (i.e. those prone to do the perverting) ... hence the necessity of lore and order, obviously based in reason and insulated against the more eager and unscrupulous opportunists; constant vigilance etc. etc.

of course, opportunism is also a trait highly conducive to survival for a generalist species such as ourselves

If there is such thing as reincarnation, I dont wanna come back as a human ever again.

Nope.

Even if God Himself promises that I will never suffer from poverty, slavery, disease, etc again.

I may not, but someone else will.
How can we truly enjoy human life when it comes at the expense of others?

All the luxuries enjoyed by any class of people have always been at the cost of exploiting other classes.

I would rather be an astral being roaming the cosmos, enjoying the wonders of thousands of stars and planets.

The pleasures of human existence are nice but sirely limited. The only thing that motivates humans is imagination.

If you're like everyone else, solipsism will be beaten out of you by life. This life guy seems to be pretty skillful at this.
But if you turn out to be special... Things like terminal lucidity show that there's likely no real limit to our ability to ignore reality.
So you can be Neo. Except, there is nowhere to escape to, and the reward for breaking the game is your inability to play it... Well. The pleasure button exists.

Irony is, this seems to be the opposite.
If solipsism is truly beaten out by life, why do we have conspiracy theorists a lot of whom are old enough to be grandpas?

In Russia it's not gay to suck a cock of your superior. It's tra Anonymous 25/08/29(Fri)10:42 No. 16831 [Reply]

Semen is a bodily fluid and spermatozoid is basically a body (cell). So by swallowing semen of your superior as a Russian you are swallowing bodily fluid and eat body of your superior. Which is basically the same as Holly Communion. in Orthodox Church. In communion you drink bodily fluid (blood) and eat body of Jesus Christ who is your Lord. Lord is your superior.

So when privateer sucks cock of an officer and then swallows it's the same situation as during Holy Communion.
Therefore it's not gay as Holy Communion is not gay.

Dear 7chan ,

I finished my second manuscript in record time . It is actually revolutionary , and as such no one is allowed to read it unless I am handsomely rewarded . The leviathan that is threads is safeguarding it . I just happen to have a great trust in this leviathan and as such am not worried , for I doubt even a Mr zuck is capable of accessing my work either actually or figuratively and that coincidence being both factive and meaningful and distinctly and totally and partly so is exactly what my book is about , explains , and proves over and over and over again , kind of like how blind people don’t immediately assign felt gestalts to visual gestalts upon receiving sight , my book will blow not people’s minds into a new sense of gestalting and that’s both a joke and a prediction , which I know with much certainty to be quite possibly factive possibly —- but enough modal jokes and zauberbergian as published in English by those people in turkey references post side : i don’t present to any of you my second philosophy !

Bests ,

The author

I have made another grand contribution to the history of philosophy and the field at large . I worked tooth and nail to acquire comparable translations to a text that has not been translated into the english in its entirety and has been supposedly translated in small amounts as slight referential remark or topic .


I however recognized that there has been a great misstep in the treatment of metaphysics that occurred immediately after the 9th century . I am proud to announce that I have successfully untrenched western philosophy entirely from language futilism .

The origin of life? Wait until abiogenesis and add some consciousness to the mess.
Sustainable capitalism? Make a race of robots that exist to make living beings happy.

"Don't be afraid of the future; it doesn't include you: it only removes you." - M. "Spider" Cummings, 2001.

"Make a mix or make them mad[...] understand that the reason for the chase is your rent." - M. "Spider" Cummings, 1993.

"It's a desperate state— I find— when you're holding up the peace... [you] signed your name to the contract to get yourself some combat[...] [y]ou've got a choice: much due respect or beat into submission[...]" - M. "Spider" Cummings, 1994.

"[I]t's all for one[... b]lood in the streets (of downtown Tokyo,) but the prayers of the weak get answered like a shot[: a t]est of the body, test of the mind; the future's on time[, ...]the future's unkind." - M. "Spider" Cummings, 1995.

"When you've lost your head[, you're] hanging on to the last worn thread." - M. "Spider" Cummings, 2006.

I hope y'all enjoy the wisdom from potentially the greatest philosopher of the "21st century killing machine" (M. "Spider" Cummings, 2001) and can take some lessons from his marvelous experiences that he so eloquently describes to us.
