SwimModSponges Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 Quote My mind circulated to raising the same dam finger. >_> Idk, I believe in kinda like, caring for others in humanity, too much cynicism will make you give up and not really try stuff in life, and people always eventually change, as it's key in survival? That's like a cluster fuck of beliefs lol Expand That's where the absurdism comes in. If life has no meaning, you are free to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Sisyphus (who was cursed to roll a boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back down, every time, forever) will never know greater joy that the satisfaction of pushing a boulder. No matter what the subjective experience you define as "your life"consists of, that's your stuff right there. Fucking enjoy that shit, it's a hell of a goddamn ride. The ups, the downs, the chemical emotional reactions brought on by chemical environmental stimuli... It's an absolute joy that you get to experience it. Your life consists of rolling a boulder up a hill; and it is a joyous duty. Quote Isn't there also a twinge of pretentiousness in this though? That if we study hard enough we will understand everything, I also forgot to mention I do believe in duality of life. Evil and Good, all that jazz and the grey in between in you will. But yeah, there are just some things we can honestly never comprehend, because more research won't be available until after we are dead. So some education is great, but I don't know if makes us complete understanding people. Expand Complete understanding is, by its very nature, a limitless and ultimately impossible goal. We can do our part to expand our own knowledge and the knowledge of others, but there is no "mandate" to do so, especially not fully. Insofar as the question of good and evil; well that can pretty much be broken down to "what are the best ways to ensure the survival of the organism/community/species? Ok, that's good." "Oh shit, somebody's doing the opposite of those things and endangering the survival of the organism/community/species, that's going to be something we'll call evil." Quote As I recall, fatalism is a branch of predeterminism. Whereas predeterminism generally is the concept that everything is predetermined (either by due to a supreme being or due to a rube goldberg machine of chemical reactions triggered by the big bang), fatalism is more Shakespearean or like Oedipus. Or as Darth Vader would say: "it is your destiny" Expand You may be right, so call me a predeterminist if you're going to. Or not, either way, that's what's up.
