[condor]

Embrace nihilism, there is nothing to approve of in the existing social order, even the pornography is bad under capitalism.

Sounds like a plan mate. Perhaps you'd care to elaborate? Moved to chitchat in the interim.

[Sibotic]

There's a distinction between things being bad and nihilism. Bad pornography is at least honest.

[Synergy]

The universe makes no judgements but since we're self-aware beings that feel pain and other emotions I think we have an obligation to treat each other kindly.

[Sibotic]

What do you use to determine your judgements in lieu of 'the universe'? An ouija board?

People feel happiness, going by 'feelings,' one might as well just stop them from doing so, whether or not pain is necessary to do so. This is - at least not a viewpoint that gives feelings exceptional authority.

Too late.


It is a fact that, as productivity increases, each succeeding generation becomes smaller. The defeat of our fathers is revisited upon us as the limits of our world. Yes, structure is human, it is the monumentalisation of congealed sweat, sweat squeezed from old exploitation and represented as nature, the world we inhabit, the objective ground. We do not, in our busy insect-like comings and goings, make the immediate world in which we live, we do not make a contribution, on the contrary we are set in motion by it; a generation will pass before what we have done as an exploited class will seep through as an effect of objectivity. (Our wealth is laid down in heaven.) The structure of the world was built by the dead, they were paid in wages, and when the wages were spent and they were dead in the ground, what they had made continued to exist, these cities, roads and factories are their calcified bones.

They had nothing but their wages to show for what they had done and after their deaths what they did and who they were has been cancelled out. But what they made has continued into our present, their burial and decay is our present.
