If you do not offer a disclaimer, showing that you are not entirely certain, and you show any certainty about your views, you are an objectivist.
Automatic.
A Fascist, authoritarian.
The only ‘correct answer’, to bring about the Utopia he wants to help along, before Godot arrives, is to agree that we are all EQUALLY ignorant and so we all must make compromises to a collective well-being.
No, nihilism is a psychological defence, politics has managed to exploit and manipulate…as well as marketing.
Entirely linguistic and self-referential, requiring conversions and popularity to remain viable.
Nihilism is what this Transgender identity psychosis is based on.
That’s because, historically, one or another rendition of it – God or No God – has accumulated the political power necessary to make life a living hell for one or another rendition of “one of them”.
Some are just more extreme [and more obtuse] than others.
Still, sure, I occasionally pine for the days when, in being an objectivist myself, I was able to think myself into believing that those who were “one of us” embodied the one and the only true moral and political narrative.
Now, you either possess the intelligence necessary to grasp the odds of that yourself, or you will continue to be the equivalent of the shock jock here, pummeling us with your own rendition of Satyr.
No, the moral nihilist suggests instead that in an essentially meaningless No God world, who is to say what the most rational and virtuous direction is? Given that, in his view, “I” here is largely an existential contraption rooted in dasein.
That’s where the objectivists come in. Hundreds and hundreds of them down through the ages able to sustain some measure of comfort and consolation in the believing that they and only they embody the truth about the “human condition”.
Oh, and just out of curiosity, how the fuck did this exchange end up in the “post a picture of yourself” thread? Isn’t the whole point of that to allow the male philosophers here to know which female philosophers are worth pursuing…further?
