There are many reasons which had made it impossible for me to visit ILP as often as I like. One of the reasons is that I am working, not like some people who’s on social security all day so they instead of getting a proper job, just sit idle all day and chat, not philosophise. another reason, a more important reason being that, some old guards may remember that I had a thread titled ‘why, why not’ which formed the crux of my understanding of philosophy. though later on, I realised that Nietzsche had a similar concept in Beyond Good and Evil in which he talked about the prejudice of philosophers. In ‘why, why not’ I say all things are personal exertions, like prejudice. In that, whatever I say is coming from me, whatever you say is coming from you. In that regards, what we say is dependent on us. without us, nothing can be said.
This puts humans at the center of all understanding, I do not regard this as arrogance, but as the ultimate truth philosophers have been searching for. From our mouth, comes our view of things, this regard is inclusive of all things, including sensations, morality, ethics. I am, just as you are, the center of the world.
To give examples, if you are blind, then the sensations of computer, of trees, of apples does not appear to you visually. I am not blind, so I see a different view of the world. You may think killing is wrong while I think it is right. All arguments, indeed all philosophical arguments are personal. this is especially true in relation to ethics. where the whole argument is an attempt at finding, though absurdly a rational ground for what is irrational. Nietzsche call this attempt the prejudice of philosophers. This is true for all people. We are all speaking what is essentially irrational. so it is one irrationality against the other. the metaphor I invented is ‘one rock hitting the other, but out of anger’ - The original madness, pg 5/202
I have ceased, virtually to post in psychology, religion, philosophy, social science forums because I realise, of all things said, we are all ranters. The rants whom write in a philosophy style gets put into philosophy, religious style goes to religious forum and general rant goes to rant house.
Since there is nothing you say that is valuable to me, and nothing I say can be of value to you since we are all ranting. There is no point for me posting here, so I stopped posting for a period of time. Then when I come back, I see again, posts on ‘meaning of life’, ‘freewill’, and all that nonsense, I felt my mission to convert the ignorant had to start again.
I do not exist, but as words in cyberspace, and that is the extent of my existence. the same goes for everyone. The objective truth that has eluded mankind does not exist, it is a conceptual absurdity that’s the result of a language game. My essential understanding is, nothing is independent of you. We are only interacting with one another. I am mad, so are you, so is everyone. the only difference being that I realise I am mad.
I see sensations and I have feelings, the two are undeniable. The rest, meaning human interactions are all pointless because we are all just ranting but with different style. We are of different psychological make up so we produce different rants, there is as much reason to believe in one rant as of the next, namely none.
All things are prejudicial, I do whatever I want. No one can influnce me any more because I have become mad! I can do whatever I want, now I lack only the power to unleash my madness.
