RE: FORESIGHT: What happened in the 19th and 20th century? Creating a doomed future.

in #philosophy7 years ago

The idea of Columbus being a great guy who discovered America is destroyed as soon as you look into Columbus for a few minutes.

You know the law of conservation of mass? It pretty clearly states that nothing can be created out of thin air, so for every creation you need an equal destruction.

Also there are plenty of people that want those statues to remain.

Like I said, this is a plausible reason to defend the statue. Doesn't really matter if the statue was build 200 years ago or 200 days ago.

And just because children do something it does not make it immature or easy. Children are also drawn to creation, see sandcastles ie. Why do you think children seem to have an urge to destroy? Do you think there is some evil in every human that has to suppressed?

I am not an advocate of taking the easy path. Destruction generally is the easy path.

I don't think you do. You are very often talking about all the unjust systems out there. You are destroying the mainstream narrative by showing that their arguments are invalid.

Your highest goal is to get rid of the state which is obviously a destructive process. You also rarely talk about the specific rules you want to create to make make a better society. Even I, the Herald of Destruction, asked you to more constructive from time to time :P

You know this goes back to western vs eastern dualism, right? Western Philosophers often see dualism as a compromise between two opposing sites, however eastern philosophy describes dualism as nothing being purely good or evil . Everythinng has upsides and downsides and is up to the human to decide if he is willing to endure the downsides to enjoy the upsides.

The false narrative many history books present is also a creational process.
