@philosophy truth isn't objective, and whether something is "worth it" is also subjective. That's a value question, and we know from economics and common sense that value is wholly subjective.
It's cool that you like Schopenhauer and don't think it's "worth it" and that any value anyone finds is a delusion. That's YOUR subjective value.
@mkultra "rights" are just a formalization of that which people are willing to kill and die for. Religious people kill and die for their God, and thus the "right" of religious freedom/tolerance came to be.
The vocabulary is irrelevant. There is plenty of killing and dying in the bible, and the political power flowed directly from that killing and dying (i.e. rights)
Refusing to acknowledge the problem because it isn't explicitly in the Bible doesn't make the problem magically disappear.
@philosophy Ultimately, there is no one true "philosophy" that is good for everyone. Philosophy is the "art of living", but different philosophies might benefit different people.
In the end, you haven't killed yourself, so you're living for something, and whatever that thing is appears to be worth the suffering of existence, so just make the most out of it.
@mkultra You are correct as far as the essential reality is concerned. Women are fundamentally not (and shouldn't be) political actors, but their status was willed artificially into existence at great ongoing cost to humanity and society.
Regardless of this women have rights, and the ongoing cost of these rights creates the situation that both you and I must navigate through as we wait for things to get bad enough.
Ultimately, idealistic notions of "equality" are anathema to nature and reality
@mkultra 1. you would be right if women were never given rights, especially voting rights. This made them political actors. This is solvable however.
2. The incel problem can be solved in the same way removing women as political actors can be solved. The problems are one and the same.
3. God gave men a biological and emotional need for love and sex, and Feminism ruined everything, forcing men to seek alternatives.
All of these are the same problem with the same solution.
@ChristiJunior back to 1919.
@mkultra She's comparing men who masturbate to sluts who take a mile of dick and have had a dozen abortions.
It's like a drug addicted prostitute with AIDS saying that she shouldn't be judged because people take over-the-counter cold medicine.
@DrRyanSkelton You were too gentle. Give her a donkey punch next time.
@ButtWorldsMan I hope Michelle doesn't even give him reach-arounds.
@Bad_Banner you could be a dumb black chick.
@Engineer An Übermensch isn't necessarily a symbiotic being in harmony with everything and transcending its will to power. It's someone who pursues their own values rather than just conforming to external values.
@Engineer Perhaps humans will evolve into a symbiotic lifeform that works in harmony with its environment and other life forms someday, but by that point, it wouldn't even be recognizable as human.
In the meantime, war never changes.
@Engineer That's fine if you believe that since it can't be proven or disproven at this time, but all life seeks to increase power and dominate other life. Infinite resources don't change this. Power is it's own resource, and power is zero-sum.
@Engineer They won't forget, and they'll all have common "creation myths" similar to how religions do.
They'll all believe they're the "true humans" and go to war against each other.
It's just human nature.
@Engineer no, eventually the different strands of humanity will evolve and become "aliens" and people were forget that they started out at the same species.
I guess science fiction predicted this with all the "aliens" in Star Trek that are just people with body paint and weird facial prosthetics.
It's be like how religion spreads, develops differences over time, all believe they're the "true" religion, and go to war against each other.
