"I also proposed a possible Moral Absolute before as well. It goes: 'For example, an Absolute within the field of morality may be the Absolute that every morality held by every person is, at least to them, correct.'"
By definition that's not an absolute though. :V Absolutes don't vary from person to person. Otherwise, they aren't absolutes anymore.
Well, Morality is subjective, so a subjective Absolute may as well be the case. However, why we have Morality and why/how our mind creates it can be explained by a non-subjective Absolute. We could study the neurology behind it and such. Then again, there could be a thing that is Absolute in subjective Morality that links them all together.
I mean, the Absolute that their morality is correct is Absolute to themselves in the case of an individual, when applied to the general Morality of all, it serves not to be Absolute.
So perhaps, there is yet an underlying Absolute to be found in the general Morality of all, something that all of these Moralities share. What it is though, we have yet to find.
My apologies if my talk of Morality seems flawed; Morality is not the subject that I take much interest in; it seems to be a futile pursuit due to its role in existence (absolutely minuscule, much like a speck).
You know, an Absolute of Morality may just as well be dissatisfaction. All humans are driven by dissatisfaction; it is why we do things, any sort of things. Our lives are centered around it; it is why we gather food, attempt to succeed, attempt to improve our lives, and more.
Morality may just as well arise from dissatisfaction with society and how people act. We believe that other people should act in a certain way and when they don't; dissatisfaction arises. This may be the basis and Absolute of Morality.
Iosif, I have my own theory about the link between time and mass actually. What mass actually is, is how much force is required to move an object, through an invisible Higgs field.
But time and mass are linked so what if there is an invisible Skulduggery Field (TM) through which time moves. Shifts in this field, perhaps by objects of huge mass could be happening everywhere and all the time, but we humans would never notice, as our own time-measuring devices and brains are also being affected.
So time would be matter that would have to move through a field of its own? If it is not matter, it cannot pass through a field since it doesn't exist materially. And yes, you can bend the effects of time of individual objects by going at a certain speed. Say, for example, you were heading towards Proxima Centauri at 99.5% of the speed of light.
Proxima Centauri is 4 light years away from us, so one would assume it would take a tad bit longer than 4 light years to get there, right? Right. However, for the astronaut in the spaceship, it will take him 0.4 years. He will experience 0.4 years of flight and aging while traveling 4 years into the future.
Not only will you experience time taking effect on you, a piece of matter, at only 10% of what you would on Earth, you will also weigh 10 times more than what you would on Earth. On Earth, allow us to say that you were 100 kg. While traveling 99.5% the speed of light, you will weigh 1,000 kg.
Time is the process through which matter constantly changes into something other than what it is. It ends life and it creates life. It destroys stars and it creates stars. This is all done through the unity of opposites and the need for contradiction in motion.
Both time and space are the means through which matter travels. Through space, matter moves and changes position, in any such location it may wish to go to. Through time, matter constantly changes into something other than what it is.
Well, all of the stuff posted right after I mentioned that my previous "essay" was copy and paste was written by my own self, without any aid from outside sources. The only copy and paste here was already clarified to have been copy and paste. In fact, here is the link for the article from which I copied and pasted my debut here.
Anything after this post: "It is not my own essay; it is copy and paste. For me to rewrite this all into my own words, it would take a much deeper understanding of it. Also, what I am posting about is about the Theory of Relativity as well as Dialectical Materialism (which is based in both Philosophy, Science, and observation)." is derived from my own words and memory.
Any particular reason that led you to believe that I was simply copying and pasting? I am quite honestly intrigued about how you would arrive at that assumption.
The basis of my theory is that everything, including time, is made of a particle, a particle we have not yet discovered. How these particles move through the Skulduggery and Higgins Fields in different ways creates illusions of time and mass and idk
That seems to be based largely off of presumption as opposed to the application of observation and evidence. Presumptuous thought easily lends itself to the application of God, intelligent design, etc. to the universe, all of which are dubious ideas. We should serve to observe the universe based on what we know and can observe.
I don't mean to discredit your theory; I mean who knows? It may be true. However, I believe a Materialist instead of Idealist view of the universe is best used to explain our surroundings.
"Iosif_Stalin Any particular reason that led you to believe that I was simply copying and pasting? I am quite honestly intrigued about how you would arrive at that assumption."
I get the Philosophy part that you did, and I didn't think that was copy-pasted. I was thinking the Science part was because you spewed out a bunch of sciency facts and stuff. :V
Lol, I am great at remembering facts and details that interest me. I could see why you would presume that I was using copy and paste. I hold nothing against you for presuming that I was using copy and paste.
Iosif, it's just kinda a random thought I had one night on holiday at a Mexican restaurant. Tacos tend to give me idealistic views about quantum mechanics and the passage of time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
(1212: Castle of Bran in modern-day Romania is built by Teutonic Knights). Yes I'm now doing historical stuff based on the profile post number.
Curious, I wonder what's the point of life anyways. Nothing about it is fun nor enjoyable.Some day you will encounter sadness no matter what ways you could use to attempt to ride over them. Fun or enjoyment is merely temporary cure to what lies.
This? Just a person who figures the meaning of life is just life itself.
@MikuWaifu Dissatisfaction is the cornerstone of our life. It is what drives us to do things. It is what drives us to gather food, have sex, achieve new things, and ultimately, continue to live. With our great conquest over the mind we were freed from the slavery of the moment.
We were the first species to truly think seriously of the past, present, and future. Since we were no longer chained to the thought of only the present, we began looking to the past and future. Looking to the past, we grew dissatisfied with how we did things and looking to future we grew dissatisfied with what we could achieve.
Dissatisfaction is what drives the human race forward. Dissatisfaction is what drives us to change the world around us. Dissatisfaction is what drives us to make a better future. Dissatisfaction always follows satisfaction; we will always be dissatisfied for as long as we live. Dissatisfaction could then be said to be the meaning of our lives; it driving us to do everything that has meaning to us.
Dissatisfaction likely does not make itself known in other species likely because they have no drive to improve on what they did on the past or to create something for the future. They live only in the moment, enjoying life in the moment and suffering in the moment. They do not care of what they have done or what they will do. Survival is all that permeates their existence.
Imagine a life without dissatisfaction. If you were not dissatisfied with what may come in the future, why would you go to school? If you were not dissatisfied with your surroundings, why would you clean? If one was not dissatisfied with the current state of human technological progress, why would one innovate and invent?
By continuing to live, you doom yourself to encounter dissatisfaction again and again. Dissatisfaction being why you care for the situation of loved ones; them being in pain will dissatisfy you. Death, then, could be said to be Nirvana. An existence with no more dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfaction is good for the advance and development of society but is harmful for the happiness of an individual. It really depends what you want: a developed and advanced society or a happy and content society.
But couldn't the dissatisfaction of the individual which leads to a more advanced society cause the people in said society to experience a greater degree of happiness?
In the words of Qualitative Utilitarianist John Stuart Mill, "No intelligent human being would consent to be a fool, even though they should be persuaded that the fool, the dunce, or the rascal is better satisfied with his lot than they are with theirs."
(In case it wasn't clear, just about all of my posts speaking to Iosif is just me playing devil's advocate. :V I don't actually adhere to the views that I seem to project in my conversation with him. I'm just trying to figure out what is in his head. :V)
Well yes, it should go without saying that dissatisfaction brings about the development of a society in which more people will be satisfied and happy, but dissatisfaction will always remain in some way, shape, or form.
Also, of course nearly no intelligent person would consent to being a fool despite their knowledge that the fool is constantly in a state of bliss and happiness; the very thought of consenting to it hurts the ego and pride of the intelligent person's current self. When he becomes a fool that knows nothing; he will cease to care about it.
The thought of being stupid, clueless, and just generally a fool is something that scares the person that is currently aware. However, upon becoming a clueless fool, he will cease to be aware, leaving him no care of this lack of awareness. Much like death scares us, we likely have nothing to fear of it since we won't be there to experience it.
