RE: Exploring Life in the Deeper End: Wandering the Philosophical Path

in #philosophy7 years ago

what might have happened in the school bully's life that would lead him to want to steal someone's sandwich is probably a lot less functionally effective than simply telling him to piss off and punching him in the nuts.

That was funny :)

"It's about winning"

Oy.... doesn't that hurt to hear it uttered :P Sometimes the best win is for cooperation, not winning over someone who loses.

We all need to be deep, more thinking on the "unseen"/"spiritual" aspects of life, i.e. psyche, consciousness.

Sort:  

Thanks!

I guess I find it distressing as part of the bigger picture... I hear people focus on the immediate aspects of "winning" and reflect on the sad fact that we really haven't progressed very far from living in caves and clubbing the crap out of the next person who says something we don't like... like a tribe of baboons, except better dressed. Or not.

Meanwhile "Idiocracy" is running in the back of my mind and it would all be kind of funny... except that damn movie seems more and more like a documentary every year, and less and less like scifi...

We've moved more from physical clubbing, to verbal clubbing, at least among our local regions of living. There are still wars going on so we're still clubbing the physical way too.

LOL, Idiocracy, just fuck like rabbits and populate the more intelligent out of existence :P Great future. With the low birthrate in the West, and less thinking, that may indeed become the future. Immigrants are going to repopulate instead, that's why they want more immigration.

Another self-destructive cycle... immigrants want in to make a better life for themselves, bringing with them all the issues that caused them to leave their homelands, in the first place. Just a giant circle jerk.
