There is life after death. It is lived by other people.

[Professoranton]

@prhughes0 Amen

[alowlyapprentice]

Either Or? Hmm... We experience one state with out a personal experience of the other. For all I know there may be more than two states.

A good question is "Was I dead before I was alive?".

[Professoranton]

@alowlyapprentice WHO would want to know about such an "I"?

[lajungesombre]

@ShockOfLemonade nietzsche wasn't alive when hitler was furer. he died in 1899 or something like that. but look at einstein and arendt, both were zionists. and zionism, at least from birnbaum and herzl's perspective, was a bloody, messy, violent, reactive, chauvinist affair. but i still think that einstein was brilliant in physics and arendt was a really smart philosopher! i won't agree with their political choice, but it doesn't epitomize what they thot (altho it contextualizes it)

[lajungesombre]

@LazarusCato ah cool! i like that. i have that same attitude when it comes to the quran. i take what inspires me and run with it. so far, i've been runnin miles n miles. n i managed to meet so many people on the way!

[LazarusCato]

@lajungesombre I agree - Bruce Lee's philosophy towards Martial Arts (can be extrapolated to anything) was something to the effect of: "Take What Works, Reject What Doesn't & Create What Isn't There"

Bruce Lee was heavily influenced by Jiddu Krishnamurti (nothing to do with Hare Krishna) - whose big thing was about being a light onto yourself, not simply relying on someone else to be your light.

[lajungesombre]

@LazarusCato i didnt know he was. he didnt seem such a vocal critic. i wouldnt expect him to be tho because he was so focused on physics. my point really was that there have been many philosophers who were pretty bad in certain ways. thomas paine was a pure jerk to natives, einstein was a zionist, heidegger was a nazi. but they have really good points tho, and so its best to take those good points n learn em and take their bad points n learn from them

[LazarusCato]

@lajungesombre despite Einstein being a Zionist - he was a critic of Israel - but yeah.

@ShockOfLemonade And, as if "REMEMBERING" were an active activity, much less an important one. I can't see Heidegger's name WITHOUT remembering he was a Nazi, but since it's absent otherwise, since in granting some context, it is utterly disparate from the work, the only thing you're asking us to do is to be superstitious. You seem to have great difficulty in finding any piece of his work that concerns you in particular, much less tying it to Nazism. Until then, you're a conspiracy theorist.

[DJAR1E]

@ShockOfLemonade It's a hard idea to swallow because it comes from nowhere and it's covered in shit. You totally missed the point. If there was some Nazi influence, you'd be able to read it and find it instantly. Not even Heidegger's worst detractors make that claim. This "thought gene" is doing it wrong. Just as you have high values with base origins, you may very well have base values with high origins. You're being scant with the origin of his values, and arbitrary with the value of origins.

@ShockOfLemonade ni ni ni ni

[ShockOfLemonade]

@jogayot Yeah...fail.

[jogayot]

@ShockOfLemonade corner? don't judge square by its edges! soooo? guru farted and i shouldn't bang this yoga chick because my child will hate me and be a heroin junkie whore?

i give you better bizarre: ceteris paribus i fail to see what's wrong with being nazi in the "antinatalist picture"? because they were causing suffering? but they only wanted to eliminate "wrong" sort of philosophies! being anti-nazi is so PC! logic mine that.

[ShockOfLemonade]

@jogayot You're twisting yourself into a bizarre corner. It's quite simple. We have philosopher A. Philosopher A talked about and developed specific linguistic descriptions of existence. Philosopher A went onto join a blatantly racist political movement. I say this is important to remember when "theorizing" based on his "existential language." So, please, explain how this is a problematic thing to state. I could say the same thing of Thomas Jefferson and the constitution, and have.
