Is not the best philosophy to just accept the ignorance of our kind, the stupidity of our nature, the fact that we are a minuscule beast that roams the earth in its largeness.
This is not to say that people should stop searching for knowledge, just that they should be open to change, new ideas, the possibility that they are wrong, the possibility that they have been deceived, at all times.
People are a predator. A vicious beast with a vicious nature and to call ourselves righteous is to call the sky the ground.
People live short lives and there are many of us. In each generation there is something new that nature has brought forth. To be caught in the past is to be caught in an evil spider's web.
That's my philosophy I suppose. There could be more of it but this is just a forum post. Also Democritus really annoys me. Sometimes I can put up with him and other times I want to throw beer in his face. Lucky he's dead and from Ancient Greece so I'm not punished for this disorderly behavior.
Let's start with you.
Are you willing to accept that you are ignorant and stupid? Are you willing to accept that you are wrong about all the things you've said here? Are you willing to accept that people are not just miniscule beasts roaming earth but giants with dominion over it? That We haven't been deceived? That we are not a predator of a vicious nature but noble souls of a righteous one? Are you willing to admit to all that?
