Realism and relativism are both wrong in trying to determine which is true and the other wrong.

I’m interested in the way social media has a certain level of determinism over people.

People get mixed up with distinguishing words, but Meaning itself is always present no matter what they say or think, Meaning Itself is what we actively see and experience.

Do you mean that meaning is there before interpretation?

Have you ever read any George Gurdjieff? Sorry to go a little off topic, but I recall one of his books entitled ‘Beelzebubs’ tales to his grandson’, I tried reading it, but I can’t make any sense out of it at all. If you do know anything about him, please open a new thread.

I like how he shows a mutation of power from a means of deduction to production, it’s incredibly contradictory, yet it’s the default reasoning people have in terms of war, some have to die so that others may live. I suppose Foucault is undermining the Humanist approach to politics and economics that we choose our options in war rationally, but power and drives are irrational.

That to me, is the point of the whole forum, not just this thread.

Nobody is monolithic – we should not view philosophy as a boxing match after all. Contradictions, when put together synthetically can produce a picture that is ambigious and uncertain, but there is a clarity of its appearance. 

Truth is a religious concept and constants are not fixed. Kant’s ‘thing in itself’, is consciousness, philosophy has always been about consciousness and so psychology is a necessary language for philosophy.

@”kFoyauextlH” Hahahaha!

@”Lisa Ann” thanks for stopping by, it is important to understand it as an ideology that anyone including women, can subscribe to.

@”Whisper” when we cross over from one role to another (transcend duality), we are able to see constraints that are otherwise norms. By dissolving our privilege in this way, we become the absolute other.

I don’t like my philosophy and I am not smug about it. I don’t want these things but want something I don’t believe is possible ever, safety.

That my friend, is Absurdism. 😀

I don’t think I can outlay my entire philosophy in one thread, a thesis that covers a significant micro-macro metaphysical philosophy with accompanying epistemology, ethical and aesthetic components (which I consider to be the minimum, along with a sceptical approach to other positions that are contra to my position) can take up to 200 pages to cover in the least nuanced way (400 for something very comprehensive). This is why I try to open several threads on various aspects of ‘my’ philosophy. In all honesty, I haven’t got a fully thought out system as of yet, sometimes I can fall into the territory of Idealism still, so that’s something I find challenging.

I expect it will take me another 5 years to mature my position into a fully coherent system.

The only thing I can do is give starting points that are open to be questioned as I go along for now.

I think if I had to say where I am philosophy wise in  the most general conceptual sense, I would say reality is one and the many, something akin to Spinoza. This is sometimes referred to as panentheism, but if you want to call it something without a God, it would probably be best to say dualist monism.

I’m going to remove the last part of the title so it says ‘ Diabolism Infernalism Baphometism Saracenism Islam Prime Evil in Medieval and later’
