On the note of the Will of the Force from Star Wars always seeking balance between the dark and the light, if the dark is using the force for your own will, and light is letting yourself be used by the force, on the surface you have few options. While we could explore the idea of your will being the Will of the Force as all return to the Force on death, unfortunately we have a clash of eastern and western thought which is not easily reconcilable. It's better to simply study philosophy.
One of the more interesting developments that the internet has created in the last 2 years has been the debate-sphere.
And in that sphere, the concept of "worldview" has gained serious ground - epistemology, ethics, metaphysics - as a way to encapsulate & evaluate opposing religions and ideologies.
The result has been fantastic. We're in the middle of global worldview MMA cage fight - redpill vs feminism vs tradcath vs atheist vs Islam vs Christianity vs Zionism vs communism, etc..
@UncleIroh Understanding one's worldview is essential. Contemplations talks about it.
Yes but we are never explicitly taught what a worldview is, how to think and argue in terms of one, or why they are useful philosophical tools.
Not as children at school or as young adults at college are we taught this, and you kind of have to question why that is.
@UncleIroh Perhaps it has been out of expediency for some and apathy for others:
Some people are inquisitive enough to understand, but they would be a threat to the existing order. Some people would not care and waste the effort in teaching.
The percentage of individuals who would be able to leverage such information effectively to shape society effectively do not merit the investment generally. Those are my thoughts as of now.
