@mrconradhoppe Yes, but we are pieces that can think for ourselves and speculate about the universe. So we are not 'just' pieces.
-
@KevinSolway I will ponder upon your words and respond to them when I have pondered sufficiently.
-
@atticana If your God is not literally everything then it follows that your God is finite. This is a logical necessity, and there is no way around it.
-
@KevinSolway I am most certainly making that assumption. God, the Creator of all, is separate and distinct from His creation. I reject both pantheism and panentheism.
-
@atticana You are assuming that God is not all things (ie, the Universe).
-
@SecularNumanist The universe is not endless, that would imply infinity. Everything created is necessarily finite. Only the Creator, God, is infinite.
-
and how would you know about this other dimension? have you been there?
-
the universe is not hierarchichal, it is an endless plane with no up or down.
-
how do you know how many videos youve viewed? "total upload views" refers to the amount of views all of your videos have received in total
-
we all are genius, a socially accepted or recognized genius, that s another matter

Weininger's comments on the genius seem to be mostly right, but I have to reject this notion that any human being can fully transcend the influence of his own age. Aristotle, for instance, was a multifaceted genius and his works, while many of his ideas are original, can be placed in a historical context where he either built upon the works of previous thinkers who were also somewhat external to the mainstream or he even took up some mainstream assumptions such as sexism without question.

I think Otto was talking about fundamentals rather than contingent details. Every person has to re-invent the philosophical wheel. And those fundamentals transcend history and culture. I've always found cultural references in both Otto and Nietzsche to be a bit dodgy, depending on the context.

Philosophers tend to define the term 'genius' in suspicious ways...

You mean in a way that makes *them* the genius?
MenoftheInfinite 2 years ago
Yeah, I think Schopenhauer did the same thing too.
Mattprole 2 years ago
Well, you could consider the concept of genius spoken of in this vid - and by Weininger - as "philosophical genius", which sets it apart in type from musical or mathematical genius etc...
