/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. Repeatedly trolling and bait replies without substance will be banned.

Global rules apply. No, you can’t argue your way out of a ban for being an idiot. Add to the conversation, don't detract from it.

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?

Imagine an infinite corridor of doors. Exactly one of them leads to a bad world; every other door leads to a good one. You open the doors one by one, and every world you find is good. You keep searching for the bad world, but every door reveals only another good one.

So where is the door to the bad world?

There's a few ways to think about it then.

Personally, I like this one: Humans will ruin a perfectly good utopia over anxiety about one bad door.

Another is for all intents and purposes, the bad door doesn't exist, and your reality should be defined by what you experience, not the worst possible outcome. An unfound evil has no bearing on your infinite life, and searching for such evil would be an incredibly stupid waste of time. Searching for it is like voluntarily becoming Sisyphus.

The bad door is in your head. It's a ghost of evolution, the paranoia of humanity and the lack of contentment due to the possibility of a bad outcome that isn't even close to inevitable.

Based on your interpretation, what would you do if you were the one opening those doors? Would you stop searching?

Thankfulness seems to be the only thing that I have and there seems to be an endless amount of it.

Can you look around? Can you see? What do you have on your hands? In my case it seems I have a lot of thankfulness. Muscle. Goodness.

Friends, I'm dying for direction. What I want is Solipsism as a topic handled from an Existential standpoint, not epistemologically. I want to learn about how Hollywoodian Solipsism effects our mentality and turns us into self-serving drones. I know that might be too opinionated and specific so I am also fine with anything that touches it tangentially. If you have any thoughts on the issue yourself I'd love to hear it.

I might be incredibly biased since I experience most of this through the internet but what baffles me is people who string together a couple words from your post and get enraged by it for zero reason... As to what is going through these people's heads, i have no idea. Help me out please.

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 know that you meant that as a joke but still.
Also to address OP, I find it funny that lolishota is considered pedophilic but furry is now sympathized as separate from bestiality.
Rapeplay and gore are also accepted as being separate from reality

Hell, people have no problem with child violence in fiction

I know this is really an unpopular opinion but kids having social media isn’t the real problem. In fact I think banning kids from social media is really just gonna make the problem worse.
Social media is overblamed for youth problems that were already pre-existent before then.

I think the real problem is how we treat them as delicate pets over everything, not teaching them hood their own ground

fascism/authoritarianism is foundationally an ethos, so to speak, of the slavish man (in a broad nongender sense, though, the insecurity involved is perhaps unique to literal men) and their mistrust, excessive posturing as strong, and single-minded pursuit of (and slavish devotion to) dominance for its own sake, is all a testament to the fact they are always slaves who (always as a matter of circumstance and complacency) have managed to worm their way into positions of authority-- and always with the same catastrophic outcome for themselves-- and, ultimately, they will always be slaves, blinded by hubris and drowning in pomp and pageantry

true in the sense that you can only suppress speech through the threat of violence, because if there's no threat, why would I care about your opinion about what I can or cannot say...

Females are also privy to this. It’s just that men are mainly the ones burdened with the task of having to “prove themselves”

I'm starting to think that adults are the ones with a penchant for make-believe rather than children.

Seriously. Ask the average adult about natural science and see how much they know.
Some will even deny it as "NWO bullshit."

But, they somewhat seem to know about every and any urban myth under the sun.

If kids are laughed at for believing in Santa and the tooth fairy, how are grown ass men applauded for believing that the earth is flat?

Adults seem to care more about metaphors and abstractions rather than the technical/physical world in front of them.

How many counselling books about marriage, work, and family must be written and collect dust on boomers' personal shelves?
