/phi/ - Philosophy A board for pretentious debates on epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, and logic.

Apply them to anything: Science, sex, your mom's cooking. No topic is too sacred or profane.
Consider this your haven where being a self-righteous, over-analytical asshole is encouraged.

What isn't allowed:

1. /b/, /x/, or /rnb/. Go spew your unhinged rants elsewhere.
2. Brainless drivel. If you can’t string two coherent thoughts together, take it to Twitter X.
3. Claims without arguments. "Because I say so" or "because you're gay" doesn’t count as reasoning.

Global rules apply. No, you can’t argue your way out of a ban for being an idiot.

This thread is for discussion of the validity of religion(s) and arguments for and against the existence of god/gods.

Any other new posts about this subject will be deleted, or locked and referred to this one.

New threads about religious concepts that play inside their own ruleset are allowed, and we kindly ask that you refrain from turning those well meaning threads into arguments about religion as a whole.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
– John 1:1

The first word you ever learned was probably something like “dada.” Simple, primal, and deeply meaningful. It wasn’t just a sound; it was a recognition of the Allfather, the one who breathed life into you, gave you a name, and set you on the path to becoming. To my father, I owe everything. He conjured me from nothing, and in his image, I aspire to be: happy, content, and overflowing with life—a giver of life, just as he was to me.

This chapter is for him. And for my unborn son, who will carry this legacy forward. In him, there will be life, as there was in me, because I was created in my father’s image. Amen.

What Is Want?
Want cannot exist without choice. To choose, we need two things: a being capable of making decisions and at least two options to choose from. But when did choice first emerge in the universe? Was it when a random molecule, billions of years ago, made an imperfect copy of itself? Probably not. Molecules don’t choose to react; they simply follow the laws of physics, colliding and bonding like inanimate objects in a cosmic dance.

So, when did the first true choice occur? And what, exactly, defines it? Does choice even exist, or is it just an illusion we’ve constructed to make sense of our actions?

Defining Choice
We’re free to define “choice” however we want, mostly because the word itself is so deeply ingrained in our language that its meaning feels intuitive. But if we dig deeper, choice isn’t a physical thing—it’s a logical rule, like a computer program. A computer doesn’t want anything, but it can make decisions based on pre-programmed parameters. So, when did these parameters evolve into something that living beings could take into account?

I like the beginning. It's a very meaningful sentence, but tldr bro. I'll parse it with AI perhaps later, but you should know better than to write this much without making a clear point either. I mean, you could have made your clear point and then proceeded to explain it all, but that's not what you did. You started right from the get-go - off the deep end. Fuck you OP.

Women are naturally attracted to men because we're fearless compared to them. The problem is when she gets too many offers so she thinks masculinity is abundant, but gets rekt emotionally by Chad. So she can't admit he never cared. Instead she's left chasing the dragon for the rest of her life. Trying to appeal through sex mostly to the next Chad (that's what got her through the door the first time). Why? Because she can't get the thought that she wasn't good enough out of her head (she's clueless, for all she knows, he was the big man, the man's man). "If he's not toxic, he won't help me prove I'm worthy of Chad". In the process she'll destroy her sweetness and anything of real value that was there. And she's not the one to blame either. She can't help but think that the one who rejected her is on his mission and the greatest man. It's the Chad's fault for being a piece of shit yet convincing the girl he is God.

The reason you can't blame the girl is because to them we all look fearless. She just doesn't know any better. Who's the real man and who's not. They can't tell, because they are nowhere near. Best they can judge is if he appears dominant in the group.

Spoiler: some of them are born already ruined, don't beat yourself up fellas. But you know you have all seen a really cute and sweet and beautiful girl turn into an abomination. All too early. It's not her fault. She doesn't know any better.

And to the still non ruined ones but already on their way, all I can say is that you think you have all the power, but you have none, because you lack the understanding and the judgment to recognize actual masculinity the embodiment of which is adventure spirit and having other people's backs, not some fake fakery bullshit. The embodiment of true femininity is selflessness and support of the man/community. So yeah ik you're awash in resources and attention and whatnot, but it leads nowhere but swamp. You have a strong illusion of power. God bless. But you're lucky if you get as much as attention from a real down to Earth big heart nigga with balls of steel. Oh well. More circus for all of us.

I can't tell whether (anti-lolicon rhetoric) is a serious issue or the new moral outrage" isn't advocacy, promotion of, or posting of pedophilia and pedophilic content. It's asking a question about whether or not this seemingly first world issue facing chronically online anime communities is serious enough to warrant such extensive hate campaigns by communities like the Sharty and Kiwi Farms while we sleep on seemingly more serious issues like Du Pont diamond mining, child labor in Africa, Nestle corporation, Donald Trump taking over America, and of course western PROVEN nonces.

I grew up with gore cartoons like Happy Tree Friends and a bunch of shocking shit on sites like YTMND. Bug-eyed cartoon characters may actually have some psychological factors connected to reality, but I'm looking for evidence. The only scientific literature I've seen is from team 'p here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1s2PL7TcWJfxDGzKn1M7jnMLViOI6Dvj_ I'm asking for team anti-'p's side so I can become a more informed individual.

I don't support lolicon, but anti-lolicon communities seem to have philosophy where, "If you're not eagerly fer us, you're eagerly against us", and it lacks nuance. We should care about the basics of Maslow's hierarchy of needs more than supposed e-politics. If there's significant empirical evidence (or even a good enough common man argument) against lolicon, I want to KNOW why it's wrong, rather than be TOLD to agree.

If minors are being groomed by lolicons, it's probably because minors are using social media before the age of 18 (which they obviously should not be doing, yet society accepted for some reason). Why are we reverting to "think of the children!!1" days? Babysitting minors online should never be a part of your ethos. Keep your kids on Neopets and off of social media.

What do YOU think about lolicon and its ethics?

I think much of it is a divide & conquer gayop, originating from the tradcon+terf alliance. Both want productive men enslaved to their interests, both want do-nothing bureaucrat/administrative jobs, so they work together.

The 2016 to 2025 era was an awakening of these two disparate groups as factions with mutual interests, similar to the Marxist concept of class awareness among the various classes in his theory crafting.

Sites with large numbers of women and gossipy fags are the epicenter for organizing and planning anti-loli crusades, largely done via doxing. As an aside, any site built around stereotypically female/fag habits (gossip, clothes, hot guys, gooner literature, etc) are heavily infested by anti-male and anti-loli types.

The best counter is to agree and amplify.

>Create fake honeypot sites for anti-loli types to communicate, wait for them to link to other sites in private messages, then dox them.
>Infiltrate these sites (use fucking opsec) and accuse more and more people of being pedophiles, to make their message tedious and unhinged by way of association with tedious and unhinged posters. You could automate this with AI.
>Post on twitter, bluesky, tumble, and other terminally online sites in the same tedious, unhinged, and obsessively anti-loli & anti-male manner.
>Try to popularize lolicon-hunting among retards like niggers, streamers, etc. Their incompetence and hypocrisy will weaken the entire thing by association.
>Accuse anyone who is remotely associated with children of being lolicons. Especially famous ecelebs, youtubers, and streamers. If everyone is accused of being one, then the accusation is easier to dismiss.
>False flag radfems you know IRL with fake accounts featuring their name, username, avatar, etc, on loli sites. The goal here is to sicc retards on our enemies.

Anti-natalism is fucking retarded but also has a point. Forget the troubles of this world you're gonna put a child in. Even in a perfect utopia, how can you birth a child without any way of discussing with them about their decision to be born or not and carry the burden of their senses like constant anxiety of death or hunger? Well actually, you can and people do every second according to some internet stats, but how can you justify it other than that creampies feel good?

Apparently there is a strong aversion within the scientific community regarding how consciousness tends to go beyond regular cause and effect when you measure its influence on its surroundings. The materialistic interpretation of reality fails to explain why these unusual occurences exist and why you can never see a physical link between these events.

Are you convinced that there is only matter in this universe and nothing else?

There will always be some Internet sperg that has too much time on his hands and the reading comprehension of a toddler on every website.

Anyhow, the funny part about materialists is that they think everything is determined by quantum particles and their interaction. Back in 2005 a physicist by the name Roger Penrose said that the reason why we can't see any intermediate states of quantum particles and why everything is so unclear is because of gravity. But there is zero evidence for any gravity particle. No one has found it and it's more or less a scientific myth at this point.

does anyone have anything based on more esoteric philosophy, any ideas or concepts that seem more strange and interesting and over the edge I wanna hear em. I've tried researching on this and it seems as I want to get back into philosophy I can't find much on material on this as its more logical based for my taste. Also just got a kindle so any recommendations for the best classics you believe that can probably be found in pdf free online would be appreciated.

Nothing needs to occur a number of times, because everything is occurring.

Also you yourself talk about the fabric of the universe and yet propose to interpretations of the before mentioned set up. There's only one interpretation which is that everything is connected. If it wasn't, how do you explain the fact that everything is made from the same fabric?

Anyway, I really don't get why you guys are even talking about all of this. Like I understand if you're trying to understand better what you yourself are thinking, but I really don't get the discussion. Like what the fucking point. This board seems to be full of faggots and retards anyway.

If you wanted to talk philosophy, you should have come to psy on 420chan at least a decade ago. On top of that you would have had a laugh. This board on the other hand sounds like a bunch of pretentious 18-year-old seniors. I know my post is low quality, but I'm just saying. WTF are you guys even doing this unless you are new to philosophy and don't know any better than to interact with dimwits like the rest of the folk here because most of these ideas you are just exploring for the first time. Which is fine, no shame in that, but if that's not the case, if you actually have your own opinions about those things, why the fuck would you try to talk with anyone here about it. It will be either someone who already gets it, so why tell them, or it will be someone who's so far away from it that there's no point even trying to tell them about it.

The whole thing is stupid. And the more fundamental you go, the more the language breaks down, you're lucky if your own definitions don't bleed into each other, trying to transcribe this into written language then to supposedly tell someone else. Again the only point I see in it is to clarify your own thoughts by writing them, but that assumes you still need that kind of clarification.
