Infinity is nonsense, born from the unwillingness to understand the purpose of existence and the absence of meaning in its continuation once the goal is reached. If C.S. Lewis speaks of infinity, he is infinitely foolish, nothing more.
Language is how we hide our mythologies.
Our choice of words exposing our motivesâŚrooted in our deepest anxieties.
Will to LifeâŚa man who thinks highly of himself, distressed over his imminent end.
Will to Power, a sickly man, with a secret desire to change his fate, feeling powerless to do soâŚ
Value OntologyâŚa secret longing to be appreciatedâŚto be valued, because heâs been undervalued.
Next patient pleaseâŚ
You.
Go ahead.
Weâre listening.
InfinityâŚalluding to existenceâs dynamismâŚexpanding forever.
Multiplying possibilities, decreasing probabilities.
Meaning = how phenomena interact and inter-relate.
The cosmos is full of meaningâŚbut no purpose.
How we define and understand words exposes our motives, and determines the consequences.
For exampleâŚhow we define and udnerstand âwillâ and âfreeâ exposes our objectives and the outcome of our efforts.
Most people begin with textâŚconventional definitions, meaning âpopular definitions.â
A remaining true to their Abrahamic psychosis.
They do not begin with the actâŚthe empirical.
To grasp where the lie is and where the truth lies, a simple exercise. Try adding one to one. And at what number will you stop? I think you wonât even try. But this is the beginning of understanding that âinfinity,â âeternityâ â are outright nonsense. More precisely â the loss of meaning.
And the goal of this world, the goal of existence is simple â existence recognizes itself through its own changes. Once the goal is reached â the Apocalypse.
If you recall, Lucifer is the âbearer of light.â Naturally, the Demon does the same. It provokes with âcommonly acceptedâ definitions and only then laughs at them, offering its own.
Freedom is a bluff and a stimulus for life.
If you explain to a chicken its purpose as soup, assuming it understands, can you imagine what will happen in the chicken coop? Well, exactly the same with humans. âFreedomâ is the carrot for the donkey pulling the cart.
And thank you for the âdefinitions.â
By the way, would it be possible to express what âlifeâ is?
Once again⌠meaning, purpose, and value are synonymous.
Actually, âmeaning,â âpurpose,â and âvalueâ arenât fully synonymous, at least not in the way youâre thinking.
- Meaning is more related to a sign, recognition, or assignment â itâs the interpretation or designation of something.
- Purpose is the end goal of a desired process, action, or outcome â itâs about reaching the desired result.
- Value comes from price and evaluation â the price is set by the seller or owner, and others either agree or disagree.
So, while they can be interconnected, each term carries a distinct nuance based on its context.
Only in your mind.
GrantedâŚmany use meaning, as in 'what is the meaning of life?" to express their search for purpose.
But words can be used to clarify and distinguish.
So, a proper use of âmeaningâ is in the perception of how phenomena interact and inter-relate, creating matrices of cosmic meaning.
Just as I differentiate âneedâ and âdesireâ to clarifyâŚthough most used them as synonyms.
So, I use need to represent lack, requiring replenishment.
I use to desire to represent the byproduct of consecutive satisfaction of needs, creating excess, requiring expunging.
Eroticism is based on expunging accumulated excess energiesâŚand this incudes art.
Libidinal energies.
Value if it is used to clarify rather than obscureâŚonly applies to a conscious organismâs needs/desiresâŚthe objective of satisfying, gratifying them.
Value is NOT a synonym of meaning.
I know your mentor/master told you so, and you desperately wanted to believe it is soâŚ
words must be used to distinguish and differentiateâŚcreating nuanced understanding.
If you use words haphazardly, then the motive is to obscure and to exploit human frailty.
A person who values truth higher than mere survival knows there is a life higher than what passes away. All lesser hungers are exploitable. Not that one.
How does he âknow thisâ?
Does he feel it?
Does he let his emotions take over?
âOnce again⌠meaning, purpose, and value are synonymousâ
I just grabbed this real quick, not even sure who said it.
This is an outstanding example of what happens in philosophy with language. You could take the two trivial statements: âThe value of the gas is a dollarâ and âthe purpose of the gas is to get to the storeâ and then somehow make the dollar and the drive to the store synonymous. Here are two perfectly clear statements talking about things that are not synonymous in any way, not definitionally, not metaphorically, not literally.
This goes on all the time in philosophy. You need only create an example in language where what philosophy is treating as specialized language is, in fact, only ordinary language distorted.
Value. Meaning. Purpose. Three words that have existed since the dawn of language and used in the simplest of ways quite effectively become magical words in the mouths of philosophers.
âOnce again⌠meaning, purpose, and value are synonymousâ
You could say that in philosophy. Thatâs the problem. You could force that to make sense. The content of your arguments can be anything as long as their structure is grammatically correct.
If value is âthe expression of the intention to create purposeâ and purpose is âwhat the intentional valuer hasâ thenâŚ
⌠value and purpose are synonymous. Holy shit!
Thatâs what you guys are doing but you canât know it unless your a Wittgensteinian. And donât think youâve got it bad therefore. Youâre not the guy having to watch it happen. So donât speak to me about intellectual suffering. You know nothing of it!
All other hungers can be satisfied. Why not that one?
You know thatâs right.
Then lies is what you hunger forâŚcomforting self-deceptionâŚto satisfy your desire to be appreciated, and loved, and protected.
As I saidâŚphilosophy requires courage and endurance - a particular psychosomatic constitution. And few have it.
Thatâs what you guys are doing but you canât know it unless your a Wittgensteinian. And donât think youâve got it bad therefore. Youâre not the guy having to watch it happen. So donât speak to me about intellectual suffering. You know nothing of it!
Yes, Wittgenstein is a start.
They muddy the waterâŚusing convoluted terminologies, full of innuendoes they cannot rationalizeâŚlike âvalueâ being used in the way it is usedâŚor âfreeââŚor âmoralityââŚ
We must begin, if and when possible, with the observable act.
An exampleâŚChristianity uses âloveâ as a synonym of âgod,â because its motive is not clarity but the seduction and manipulation of human ignorance and desire.
Words are the means parasitism uses.
Reapplynig them as connectors between human concepts and human desiresâŚcircumventing actions.
Words used to exploit human needs and desires.
Like CHOOSING a definition of âfreeâ that will satisfy the desire to remain an innocent victim of happenstance.
You are banking on there being nothing to satisfy a hunger when every other hunger can be satisfied⌠based on what?
On the discovery channel, you would be like, âThe creature is alone among the animal kingdom, hungering for what nothing in the world can satisfy. Researchers theorize there must be something yet to emerge, anticipated by this hunger. Perhaps it is the long-awaited singularity? No one knows. No one even knows why they wait, or what it really is theyâre waiting for. Will the singularity really satisy⌠or is K Silenus, the great philosopher (me), right when s/he says this hunger can only be exploited, never satisfied? Some questions may have no answers, except that, yes, of course, Iâm right.â
âAs I saidâŚphilosophy requires courage and enduranceâ
Well Iâm out then. I canât do it. You guys gotta go on without me. I told you i never should have come but you guys were like ânoooo philosophy is great man câmon letâs go!â
So⌠whatâre you gonna do instead? Boring.
âHungerâ is associated with lackâŚorganism lacking nutrients. Used as a metaphor to indicate longing or psychological lack.
I base it on experienced reality.
No hunger, no need, can ever be completely and permanently satisfied.
There are no absolutesâŚand so your desire for an absolute parent, is based on something elseâŚanother desire that has not been gratified..
a) something (I) exists, rather than nothing
b) I didnât exist myself⌠how is existence even a thing?
c) WHY is existence even a thing⌠and why am I included?
d) historical evidence⌠and foreshadowing⌠of the demonstration/evidence that answers all the questions
