Who knows. There was a time back when ILP was much, much closer to being an actual philosophy venue. A time when those like Only_Humean moderated actual philosophical discussions. Back in the days of moreno and phyllo and von rivers and faust. Back when Carleas himself often participated in the discussions. Then the Kids and the fulminating fanatics and the social media types took over. For a while it reached the point where going by this…

Hmm well I think most healthy adult males have a natural erotic attraction to well developed adolescent females, but would never violate the particular laws pertaining to such things in their society… observing age of consent laws and so forth. This leaves two other types left; the healthy adult males who have this natural attraction but lie to others about it, and the unhealthy (somehow impotent or maybe with very low libidinal energies) adult males who don’t experience sexual arousal here.
The former type I laugh at, the latter type I feel pity for.
Which 1 r u, young pole?
Remember: it’s okay to admit this attraction, but not okay to act on it (normal folks I mean. I’m exempt from normality and technically stopped observing the laws in 2010. Incidentally, that was the last time I flashed anyone. I got the whole thing ass backwards).
Here let me explain. If my reason for justifying my exhibitionistic behavior is because I have become an anarchist who observes no laws after being betrayed by the state in a wrongful conviction, given a life sentence, and in losing all my property to the police (they stole it), then I would not be able to justify until after 2010, since that was the year of the wrongful conviction and everything that followed. And yet I’ve been arrested several times for misdemeanor indecent exposure long before any of this happened. Lol that’s funny shit.
The irony here is: when I am technically able to justify my lawlessness and enjoy a bit if exhibitionism, I have no more desire to do it. So that’s how I got it assbackwards.
Actually, in my view, this all gets entangled in means and ends. Then it can become particularly murky. For example, when the word nihilism pops up in the news it is almost always in regard to means…to the “terrorist” tactics deployed by the “nihilists” involved. Blowing up the World Trade center is the epitome of nihilism for some.
Again, the irony being that they do things like this precisely because they are anything but nihilist in regard to the ends behind the means. Whether they be theocrats, Communists or Nazis, it is precisely the sacred “kingdom of ends” they embrace that allow them to justify the use of “any means necessary”.
In other words, whatever that means. Ever and always going back to the elusive understanding of where genes end and memes begin. Abandoning the notion of the objectivists among us that they and only they know precisely where that is. In, among other things, one or another “ism”. Or TOE.
Here you would have to follow those who call themselves nihilists around and then when they do something that you wouldn’t do you can ask them why they did it. How they themselves make the distinction between doing it because it seems like the reasonable thing to do in order to benefit them or because on a more visceral level they just went for it “in the moment”. Like, say, the sociopaths among us.
Here, nihilism isn’t all that different from all the other “isms”. There is what you believe about your place in the world around you and there is the actual set of circumstances you find yourself in. Life might have no essential meaning for you but there is plenty of existential meaning around. So, sure, you might think your life is ultimately without purpose…but that doesn’t necessarily make the food you eat less delicious, or the music that you listen to less sublime, or the friendships you accumulate less fulfilling, or the sex you have less satisfying.
This is a point I often come back to. Once you are locked into moral and political objectivism – in either a God or No God world – your options are either/or. You either do the right thing or the wrong thing. It’s just a matter of what the reward is. It could be pats on the back from all the rest to our own “one of us” clique…or it could be Heaven itself. Though, sure, the psychological comfort and consolation here is no small thing. Still, that won’t increase your options any. Your freedom still revolves around one of another dogmatic agenda.
This sort of assessment is always going to be rooted subjectively in dasen. As though when you capitalize Nihilism you are configuring it into the Real Thing. Existentialism starts with the assumption that existence is prior to essence. But that will always mean different things to different people in different sets of circumstances.
Everything here comes down you how radical you insist on being in regard to what is said to be meaningful. Here the sociopath can scoff at the existentialists with their alleged “authenticity” bullshit and insist that absolutely nothing is beyond justifying if morality itself is said to revolve around me, myself and I in a No God world.
