Fuck off SCP-666

>>503

Who is he?

The fixed perspective that consciousness gives those thing which are conscious means that certain things are objectively good and objectively bad to things that are conscious

You have merely said that because a certain arrangement can be interpreted different ways that interpretation is useless or does not convey information - clearly rediculous

Just as right and left are objective labels that apply to objects viewed from a set perspective, so too are right and wrong objective.

You may say that they are objective only from a set perspective and are therefore useless -not true!

We can arrive at the description of the good that encompasses all conscious things (it would not, necessarily so, apply to things which are not conscious; but that point carries little weight as you are only establishing that to that which could not experience, morals do not apply)

Here's a helpful resource

I heard the guy got arrested for breaking anti-racism laws

>>601

Nice. Hope we get tighter laws when this gets more mainstream.

>>329

Honestly, I think the "red pill" /fit/ guy is already good enough. We've already got the SCP, and several works, why start over?

>>625

I agree, the problem is that the original artist has gone missing

We need an artist to pick up the torch

>>706

You have repeated that so often you believ it to be true

The good is simple: to love

Without love, all of this is purely mechanical existence - forced to play our part for no reason but the demands imposed upon us by that which we lack and require

but love is different

in it we appreciate a thing not as a means to an end, but as a thing in and of itself

We may also call this beauty

———————–

If we grant that existence can be preferable to non existence, and we are creatures that love one another, then the moral imperative is clear

- contribute to the flourishing of life

- contribute to the flourishing of beauty

you may say that beauty is anything, but clear patterns emerge in what is beautiful and what is ugly

Well made things, acts of valor, acts pof love and love itself define greatest beauty

but at the same time, it is the nature of beauty that if indeed it is a fixed proposition it can never be proved to be what it is because it can only ever be experienced subjectively

which again is not to say that it is only subjective, but that we are limited in our examination

>>728

Either you have a love of humanity and so you agree that life ought to be preserved and so you will side with me

or, you have a love of yourself alone, in which case you are the enemy

or, you believe that life cannot be preferable to non-existence in which case you should kill yourself - logically speaking

>>740

You have have no arguments

you are le edgy fedora incarnate

>>771

Of course,

The main cause is all life

Ideally all nations would form first a cohesion within themselves and then branch out and work with others

That to me is true multiculturalism, heritage and harmony

instead what we're getting is a grey globalized mechanistic mass that is hideous to behold - pure materialism is eating away at all bonds of love and loyalty

>>601

Jesus Christ.

>>706

What exactly do you mean by "racist"? As in we're not allowed to stand up for our people and protect them from genocide?

oh look tumblr is here.

This may be a little too ambitious but please give me your thoughts on this:

We need philosophical starting points to build a strong foundation.

Part of what makes a successful leader or "god" is the need for a group to believe in something (i.e, to have someone to follow).

It is hard to manufacture memes. They commonly arise spontaneously and unintentionally. The creator's unawareness is part of the appeal.

Perhaps the spark we need in order to gain traction is something more convincing.

We need a strong leader. Or we need to create a fictitious leader.

Create a social media following using our fictitious leader's name. Use something mainstream like a youtube channel to display all of our creations without revealing the source (i.e., no explicit linking to this board, etc.)

It will start small but any other like-minded individuals will be attracted and seek us out.

The key is persuasion. There are literally millions of people who want to help create a better society but do not know how or fear being ostracized.

We will not create a god on this board. We need to experiment with a bigger sample size of viewers in order to gain the necessary feedback. This will tell us what works and what doesn't (i.e., what attracts and what repels people).

I will brainstorm more if anyone is interested in this train of thought.

>>1354

I'm working on that

I believe I've uncovered ultimate morality but I need to refine the paper

>>1355

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>1370

Our morality will not be perfect, the system we wish to implement will not be perfect. We are seeking a better alternative. A free society with less oppression.

Post your paper and let us refine it together.

>>728

>The good is simple: to love

No, Love without Hate is the purest and darkest evil.

>>1375

Will do

I have the argument done, but I'll be fleshing it out with historucal detail later

(A main part of the paper is cyclical history)

I have a gre summer so I plan on reading all relevant history and philosiphical texts that I can - mostly pertaining to virtue ethics and the decline of major empires

>>1381

That's a good focus. Studying the rise and fall of civilizations is probably one of the best ways to understand humanity.

It is possible to create a sustainable ethical society. And this should be our goal. I see the primary obstacle as weeding out the corrupt, power-hungry, unethical individuals.

>>1376

I don't argue otherwise

Hate is the flipside of love

The only man that doesn't hate is the man that doesn't love

Where we differ is that I don't believe we ought to jate people but their acts

Which is not to say that there is not a time to kill, merely that if that time comes it comes of necessity not retribution
