In the universe of flux, nothing is position-less, nothing is neutral, nothing is standing still, everything is moving, everything is continually interacting with everything else.
You may choose not to have any values, you may freeze parts of your brain that deal with values, but since you cannot freeze yourself in entirety, since you will be acting and interacting no matter how much you resist activity, you will always be attempting to impose your own values onto the world around you in one way or another.
Do you understand that?
Your brain may be saying “I have no values” but since you are acting, and can do no other than act and interact, and since activity is a manifestation of value, an attempt to impose one’s values onto the world around you, that does not mean you have no values, it simply means you are delusional and hypocritical.
You do have values, as all people do. You may not be conscious of them, or you may choose to refuse your body, your unconscious activity, as valuing, but that does not make them go away.
Besides that, activity is change. To act is to change. To change is to say “this shouldn’t be like it is, it should be like this, because it is better to be like that”. Change implies rank.
When you come here, you imbecile, and tell ME that I should not impose my values onto the world around me, what you’re doing is trying to impose your own values onto the world around you, in this case, that would be me.
Can you see the hypocrisy in the whole business, you cretin?
Successful imposition of values, pure might, does not make things right, which is to say, does not make the imposed values the superior ones. And it certainly does not render all values equal before they are successfully imposed.
Democratic values have been successfully imposed, you retard, does that make them superior to my values? Does that make them equal to my values? And if someone developed a technology to implant democratic values into people like me, that won’t make them superior either.
Now let’s see what you value and let’s compare it to what I value.
You value peace, you value comfort, you value pleasure, you value friendship, you value fame, in one word, you value weakness.
Truth, honesty, excellence, self-assertion, honor and freedom – all the things I value – are of lesser value to you, they are to be sacrificed for peace/comfort/pleasure/friendship/fame.
That is the inverse of my attitude. I would gladly sacrify peace, comfort, pleasure, friendship and fame for truth, honesty, excellence, self-assertion, honor and freedom, in one word, for power. My real name might be a combination of words peace and fame, but these are not my values.
You love communes, don’t you? You are the kind of guys who considers friendships to be natural and enmities to be unnatural, aren’t you?
Humans are naturally friends, brothers, everything else is unnatural, wrong, evil.
Now, there are two theories attempting to explain the origins of evil.
These are objectivism and daseinism.
According to objectivism, the source of all evil is difference. People are different because they are not objective, because they are uneducated about the divine law. The solution to the evil is to educate people about the divine law. This will lead to an increase in overall happiness of the population. Of course, since education is imperfect, and since evil can never be completely eradicted, this is an ongoing process.
According to daseinism, the source of all evil is objectivism. It is not the difference which is the evil – people are naturally peaceful, friendly and altruistic – it is the objectivists who try to change people and make them all the same that are the evil. The solution to the evil is to educate people how to tolerate difference. This will lead to an increase in overall happiness of the population. Of course, since education is imperfect, and since evil can never be completely eradicated, this is an ongoing process.
The daseinist way of thinking, taken to the logical extreme, is an impossibility, since the universe is continual interactivity of distinct values, each value trying to impose itself on all other values at every single point in time. The daseinist himself, then, is forced to impose his values on the world around him, no matter what he thinks or desires.
No such thing as total, unlimited, tolerance. Tolerance is always selective, limited.
Nonetheless, the daseinist can still distinguish himself from non-daseinists, in that, the daseinist is attempting to tolerate as many things as possible, whereas the non-daseinist, the selfrespectfulist, is not bothering with stupid shit like that.
The daseinist’s distinction lies in the fact that he prioritizes tolerance. He is a hyper-omnivorous creature who eats pretty much everything . . . He knows very well that he will never reach total tolerance, so he is not bothered by counter-arguments reminding him of this impossibility.
Logically, you cannot prove him wrong. He is logically safe.
His problem is physiological, not logical.
His problem is psychological.
He is denying himself, and self-denial has some pretty interesting long-term consequences, among them, for example, mental illness . . . he may not feel the consequences, but that does not save his descendents from not feeling them either . . .
