    Why did my AMA devolve into discussion about the through the living Cult?

     

    I have arrived. 
    What would you consider your most controversial opinion?
    Depending on the opinion you might wish to put it in a spoiler box.
    Also, I ask seriously: I want to see a nice discussion arise from this.

    Denissimo that was you

    Foiled again! Egads! Its almost as if your profile is available to the general public!

    Edit: In order for you to view that, you went on my profile.
    The plot thickens.

    Heh jokes on you my entire state gets out at the exact same time and I’ve already said which state I live in 

    A state of denial?

    God, I'm sorry but I can't stop.

    The end of school is complicated cuz I don't wanna dox myself with sudden disappearance on the last day of school.

    I either will leave early or will force my parents to let me stay on for a certain number of days.
    I'm not telling you if school's already ended but it is in June. It could end today. Or it could end June 30

    I can respect the caution. 

    I doubt it will make much of a difference, as I likely live half-way 'cross the globe from you. And thus, showing up on your front doorstep is considerably trickier.

    Now I know where to find you. *Maniacal laughter.*
    You careless fool! There are reams of asian farmers converging on your doorstep at this moment, most of whom are my cousins!

    I love fingerless gloves

    theyre so incongruous with the rest of my physical presentation that i dont find much of a motivation to wear them though

    certainly not in the summer

    They make my palms sweat. Though my mom sometimes makes me wear them.

    u mightve im agines me in one if my blog posts- the one where you suggested music.

    Oh, I actually met someone who knew of Sleep Theory, which was neat.

    (You were the one who suggested it and that Chinese song, right?)

     

    Why are you interested in Chinese stuff it seems, ?

    Well. Seeing as I've already pubicly posted this once, I see no harm in doing so again,
    I am...
    Chinese.
    *Sharp intakes of breath echo throughout the room. Some faint.*

     

    edit:
    Yes, I recommended the chinese song. The translation of the title is "Please believe in dreams", or something similar. 

    The number I am referring to is nine. 

    Ah, I remember that.

    I won't say what's right or not

    SAME!

    When I saw it I immediately loved it lol

    There's something about it...

    I'll do you now.

    I'm pretty sure I haven't already? Have I? If I have, then i guess I'm doing it again.

    A character from this chinese animation film a while back. The character had fox-ears. 
    Also, as is classic for such edgy characters, a number for a name.

    Fellow Sharders!

    It has come to my attention that I have failed to show to you the nightmare horrors I have created using my art skills.

    That simply cannot stand.

    So here you go! Don't ask how this happened... I don't really know

    Yes. Good.

    I’m honestly offended, not by you specifically but still… I try and use theology as well as traditional logical philosophy. Ecclesiastes is basically an entire book of the Bible which boils down to:

    1. Life is meaningless

    2. A simple life of manageable struggle gives life meaning

    3. God gives life meaning

    I would consider myself both religious and absurdist. They’re not mutually exclusive.

    This doesn’t refer to any form of morality or purity- im using the color black as a metaphor for depression, difficult circumstances, and deep painful emotion, while white is the exact opposite.

    yeah, that’s definitely part of what im trying to get across. Growth is colorful and messy and that’s okay! 

    and i made a qualifier below that…

     

    That's on me. I'll clarify again that I'm apprehensive as to adhereing to Camus's religious views, as it leans too far into intolerance and an absolute rejection, which I am not all for. The reason I had put his postulation there was because it was central to his concept of philosophical death, which is in turn (I think) imperative to understanding his arguments in regards to the absurd.

    Sorry about that. I'll pop it in a spoiler box or something.

    I'd advise all interested to look more into absurdism. I can share an online copy of the Myth of Sisyphus, if you PM me requesitng it. I'm not sure how well I represented his arguments, and how well I can represent his arguments without causing some conflict within the community, which I do not want.

    I won't say much more about this, as I'm at a risk of going further off topic. Anyone curious can PM me.

    Not exactly 

    but Den has proven to be a respectful and brilliant debater, the lars time we spoke about religion and philosophy was very productive, and i hope he can say the same about me

    ill try not to sidetrack the discussion though, thanks

    Your points were consistent. We got to the "threshhold of opinion" quite quickly, which (in my opinion) is a mark of mutually productive debating and discussion; As there weren't any logical fallacies either side could pick at. The odd misunderstanding came up, but it was easily rectified.

    I appreciate the complement, though I'm not sure if I agree with it; However, I certainly reciprocate the opinion.

    But then there's the tipping point of the hill. The point when it just goes too far for too long.

    In the thought experiment, the point is that the rock will never reach the tipping point. Here is some background:

    Sisyphus was an intelligent guy who fell out of favour with the greek gods to such an extent that Hades brews up a special punishment: He promises Sisyphus freedom if he simply rolls a boulder to the top of a hill. Unbenownst to Sisyphus, the boulder has been tampered with by the gods so that it will never reach the top: always stopping just before, no matter how hard he tries, and rolls back down once more.

    In a philosophical essay titled the "Myth of Sisyphus", by french philosopher Albert Camus, he explores many themes: But central to the text is the postulation of the "Absurd": The conflict between our human desire to create meaning, and the cold, silent, and indifferent universe which does not, and is under no obligation to provide it (this is of course based off a more nihilistic view of the universe).
    Upon realising the existence of the absurd, and by extension realising the meaninglessness of life and how the only meaning that exists are mere illusions conjured by ourselves (whether it be religion, higher beings, concepts of a "lifes purpose": Camus postulates that they are all lies.), Camus goes on to explore ways people respond to this knowledge.

    The first, is 
    TW:

    Spoiler

    Physical Suicide. Escaping the absurdity of life and it's meaninglessness by ending it. Camus strictly rejects this, arguing that this surrenders to the problem rather than truly confronts it.

    The second is philosophical suicide:
    Escaping by nonetheless inventing a higher meaning, turning to religion or dogmatic ideologies. Camus rejects this too, viewing it as a cowardly denial of reality.

    The third is acceptance and revolution:
    Fully acknowledging the meaninglessness of life while choosing to live passionately and defiantly anyway. He calls this the absurdist path.

    In order to best illustrate the absurdist path, camus turned to the greek myth of sisyphus for which his essay is titled.

    Sisyphus’s punishment represents the human condition. We build careers, pursue happiness, and create meaning, knowing it will all eventually fade away with our mortality. (the rock rolls down the hill once more.)

    When Sisyphus walks back down the mountain to retrieve the rock, he is fully conscious of his hopeless fate. Yet, he chooses to walk down anyway. For Camus, this act of defiant consciousness is the ultimate victory. As Camus famously wrote: "One must imagine Sisyphus happy."


    I largely am an absurdist, or try to be. However, my views differ with Camus's in the matter of religion. I prefer to be more open to religious evidence, though admittedly I haven't encountered anything concrete enough for me to return to my faith.

    Lately I’ve been thinking in this metaphor that I’m like the color grey

    when my circumstances are black and dark and heavy, i feel relaxed in comparison. Im able to handle my emotions and feel somewhat in control

    but when the world around me is white and bright and easy, i feel darker in comparison. I don’t want to be all that happy all the time, it feels empty and worthless and only make me feel lonelier 

    like im not truly depressed, but neither am i happy

    But just writing this down has helped a bit because the problem isn’t whether in metaphor i am grey or white or black- obviously, i am green. 

    The problem is comparisons and stagnancy. Im getting too caught up in comparing myself to the world around me, which is mostly *lies* (in a Cryptic way) anyhow, when I should be thankful for what God has given me and learn to grow and let things go.

    for example, i have become a bit attached to waking up in the morning and sitting in the backseat of a van or bus during carpool when the sun is still down, listening to music and drinking coffee and being half asleep. Now that the sun is coming up earlier, it feels like that experience is being taken from me

    instead, i should take the time to look at the sunrise. I always forget until i look outside how ridiculously beautiful the sky is. Literally every sky always blows me away, they are all gorgeous and unique and sometimes colorful. God is an artist, the sky is one of his favorite canvases, and I have a constantly changing gallery right at my fingertips every day! All i have to do it look up!

    dont be grey. Definitely try not to be black. And don’t get caught up in despair just because you can’t be white

    be colorful

    Purity and singularity, or in your words to be "black", or any singular colour, is to be close-minded.

    I like this. This is nice. And I appreciate how you illustrate that accepting your facets and letting yourself change and grow as being colourful. Or, that is how I interpret it.

    "Don't get caught up in despair just because you can't be white"
    "Definitely try not to be black"
    Verdance? Hehehe.

    It's also worth noting "communism" tends to be overly generalized- Stalinism is VERY different from Marxism 

    Very true. Communism is legitimately just a bit ambiguous as well, given the conflict between the concept and actual implementation.

    The way I see it, if every human being was perfect, communism would be possible, and therefore we wouldn’t need it

    instead we end up with corrupt and totalitarian socialist governments which really have no right to exist

    Yes. Unfortunately, humanity in my view will forever be conflicted and impure. Beautifully so, I think.

    Bringing it back to politics (blehg), I agree. Communism simply doesn't work. The only reason why there are "communist" countries, is because "communist" nations simply reframe it in a certain way. Chinas basically a fascist-capitalist society at this point, though our good friend Xi is being smart about it.

    Can you confirm

    Communism sucks

    It's a nice, peachy and idyllic concept. However, we do not live in an idyllic world.
    Thus why it is fortunate that, despite what my nation claims, we are not communist.

    The world cannot know. You have been added to... the list.
    My list. (Not the other guys. Not goin' to elaborate, but... if yk yk.)

    Just kidding. I doubt anyone could do much with that. Yes, I am chinese.

    Heil to Xi Jinping and all that.

    That somehow feels accurate. (I tend more towards sciences, but people sciences like Psychology and I am very interested in social sciences too). The nose thing also seems accurate and I don't know why

    Heh. "People sciences". I like that.

    Everyone has some sort of feature which people primarily use to distinguish them. Sometimes its more than one, but there always something; it's part of the reason why you might walk by someone, think you recognise them, and nope you've never met them. They simply have a distinguishing feature matching someone you know. It goes the other way too. I've had people who apparently look very similar, but I have no issue telling them apart, because of the distinguishing features. (and it goes the other way for that, where I mistaken two people who share only one major feature.)
    This is a crude simplification, but it's late. If fallacies are the price for present reductionism, then so be it, and I shall bear the shame upon the morn.
