Truth and authenticity

What is the safest distance between things.

I love pictures, still.

Looking at them.

Seeing what is the words draw from imagining it, there is nothing but nothing to alienate you ftom. 

Nothing other than its perfect silence.

A moment in time.

It demanded so much more than you thought,

that this place specifically chose you.

Serving what you once thought was true of you

The picture happened for a reason, which was what brought you there.

I never chased the moment.

I learned.

I learned how not to.

Not be in pictures.

Because I never want to care.

Care about what is it other people will.

Will 

Will see.

What is the what is

 Fear is the mind killer that tests your patience 

Marco 

●°•●●°○°●°

You cannot fear the unknown because it is not known, in actuality, you only fear what you think you know.

°●○°○°○°○°○°○°

Test:  I can fear my executioner who is unknown to me, I can also accept fear.  I can accept the unknown.  Therefore, I can accept fear I have in my executioner. 

Debunk this.  

- Marco

°○●●•••••

You don’t fear your unrevealed executioner, you fear the known coming to an end by the executioner.

°●○°°▪︎○°▪︎°▪︎°▪︎°

False.  Entirely false.  Only a hypocrite would say that I fear my end according to an external variable that is unknown to me.  Think about that.  My entire argument is that what is unknown I give unconditional moral agency to.  If that moral agency is breeched, (my motive is fear based.)  Then, I ask are you qualified as a psychic.   

Answer: Marco is Socratic a philosopher.  

No one knows that.  

Not even you.

Hence, my argument.  Fear is not my own hindrance to the executioner.  If the executioner has an end in mind, I accept what is my fear as well as the unknown.

The unknown = I would argue is Socratic an end, that Socrates himself was poisoned due to his own courage.

End.

°●•●•●$▪︎

I can accept the unknown together with fear.  Therefore, your point is moot.  

Your claim says that I cannot.

- Marco

°▪︎▪︎○☆-

Acceptance is not fear.

°○○°°○#○#

 You don't know that.

- Marco

●°●°##○#

To accept the fact you only know what is known removes the thought of needing to know everything which is what creates that fear. In fact every emotion is created by thought and the attention of that thought. When you accept something you no longer give that thought attention thus the emotion of fear never arises pertaining that.

°▪︎°●°●°●°●°

In theory someone can state my refutation to what your proofs are: (is that my argument ontologically possesses a philosophical end point.) I stated this using your proofs act's as fallacy.  

Your fallacy pertaining to what is unoriginal in philosophy and that - that it's wrong.

I can eliminate your argument by simply adding that fear is not an emotion based on a thought process. It's that simple. It's a fallacy in its entirety.  

I did this by simply using a noun.

What is fear is as real as what is acceptance. (To that fear). Your entire premise persists. That fear is not an emotion I can feel only because I know it. Totally moot argument. Totally. Then, you use the same noun to negate my argument? Clever.

My argument is ontological. (As I stated.) Because only I fear is what I fear. Only god tells me what is fear. Unless you want me to spoon feed you.

If you can't understand my line of reasoning, god help us all.

- Marco

°○°○○°☆•

You’re right, fear of x presumes knowledge that x is bad.

°○▪︎○•@!!!!!!

But if x is bad I have already accepted the norm in that I accepted 'x' that I act only as a condition of my moral agency. What specifically are you saying is presuming I am fabricating my assessment.

- Marco

○°○°○°○°○°

And off the record against what you fail to understand. I said x = norm.  

1- That a thing in itself requires moral agency being the norm.  

2- There is no way I can ever know (because I would never presume an unfounded fear for 'x' being a material emotion).  

3- Therefore, why would I predict x = bad. Unless we all are confined to x's actions at all times. How do we exhibit or attempt anything acting on something unknown to us. 

My point is we cannot predict behavior based on fear.

- Marco

Acting in blind faith

You don't lead in blind faith.  Blind faith doesn't matter.  It is your material quest for the root cause.  Root is the truth in philosophy. Which means you direct where your cause lies.  Fear over acceptance.  Respect over approval 💯.

Misconceptional peace of a psychic mind

 I often wonder to myself. Can I make a difference. How do I make a difference and if so have I made any difference in the world.  That is my purpose. I just want to make a difference in this world no matter how misinterpreted or misunderstood my intent. I want to live my life with a purpose and that sense of purpose is recognized or at the very least carried to what my effort was.

I've been on this journey for some time now... my life has been better for it.

I feel gassed but not sure I have emptied or exhausted my tank. I am talking about my inner being. Purpose in life can mean anything but not purpose itself. Living life with purpose is a conscious thing. I turn on this endeavor as holding out some kind of hope in doing so. This is who I am.

Someone that wants to make a difference because I live life with purpose.  This is how I identify myself. It is not an abstract version of reality. But something you feel in the heart. 

Where is this heart of mine leading me. 

I suppose being my age the one true question I have is what makes true love possible.  

I say this because it can only be truth that you live life with intentions. And those intentions are to be lead with purpose to make the difference I speak of feel real.

In the name of cause vs guilt (i.e. nature)

 If something is not able to be known it does not exist.

==================

Bwhahahahah - lol. This seriously cracked me up on either on the basis of its simplicity or my own personal fault.

================

That is known.

================

Seriously. How is that? You are confusing what your premise stated. That, "if something is not able to be known it does not exist" = equates that you knew my response apriori to the fact I was in fact going to state something (unknown to you), although not that what we are saying is "unknowable" per se.

You are negating what is unknowable. Then, you are guilty of debunking it. Though it is a fallacy.

Come on man.

- Marco

================

Let's test this.

Let's trace that OJ Simpson did not murder his wife with the hypothetical - lets say - because there is an absence of evidence to determine Simpson was in fact guilty of murder. However, (as the hypothesis stated) for lack of evidence we can only say we don't know 'guilt', therefore, because x or y is unknowable. Therefore, we can only determine (that we cannot determine) guilt. Conclusion: since there is no evidence that OJ committed murder all it is / is psychologically independent if we believe that he IS guilty of a crime. Is this fair or is it a loaded response to a loaded question.

Debunk this.

What is the gift of material implication (logical contradictory) to a loaded question.

Answer: how do we know that we do not know.

 “An integral part of totalitarian control is the attack on critical and independent thought. The appeal to facts is substituted for the appeal to reason. No reason can sanction a regime that uses the greatest productive apparatus man has ever created in the interest of an increasing restriction on human satisfactions—no reason except the fact that the economic system can be retained in no other way.”

The purpose of truth

 Can science ever determine what is morally right?

°●●•○°°▪︎°▪︎

You may predict your own behavior but predicting the behavior of people on a sociological level takes group theory and scientific appraoch in hypothesis or to that effect.

-Marco

°●°○°▪︎°▪︎°°▪︎°☆

No, not real science, the scientific method is a process of hypothesis, testing, measurement, and repeating till you come to a conclusion. 

Morality has nothing to do w this.

•●●°▪︎°▪︎°▪︎°▪︎°▪︎°▪︎°

Scott Winn I'm not so sure.  We can trace observational hypotheses through understanding how people behave.  I am not an expert in it but psychologically there is contagion to be had which we see on an empirical level.  For example: if we see that ICE is - can take immigrants (a group of ethnic minority) and establish that it's morally corruptible. But, another group (MAGA/elitism = government agency) allows for it (whatvis wrong).   Such behavior becomes a model for it.

I could be mistaken...

This is debatable, however. (i.e. for the purpose of philosophy)

What is grace

 "Not simply beauty, rare as it is, but ugliness, too, which is much more common among us humans because we are not by nature beautiful but accept our ugliness with a peculiar grace which perhaps stems from the soul.  We go on molding our face from within, but this fleeting existence of ours never allows us enough time to complete the task: that explains why the ugly remain ugly, or even grow uglier when they abandon this meticulous task of inner molding or make a complete mess of things." - Jose Saramago

What is information

In its formulae (information) is idiom for which we translate what is (thinking) into patterns.  Therefore, if x = y.  Information is our ideas. What is language as we identify, technology. This (technology) to help us self actualize ourselves through the production of what is materially made or is binary in function.  Binary in its functionality.  That infinite information allows us to perform 🎭 with masking our agency in moral capacities that humans may so flourish.  (Symbiotically) rather than be mechanically relied upon ourselves.  Defining what we are without resorting to technological agency.  This means that man is a product.  (Man makes Technology inoperable.)  Because philosophy calculates our intended use.  Machines calculate nothing worth knowing, because information always results in turning morality against revenge. A thing by virtue of itself must act.  If they act, informatics act alone accordingly that laws change outcomes in violation of a prejudice.  If technology is made to exercise prejudice.  Technology is not useful, here.

Consider this:

¹Morality is universally adopted as our salvation.  ²Through which information acts.  ³Technology serves this indestructibility complex by providing us with literature in mind.  What is it this means is that moral agency is eternal.

Information (literature) copies what is man's image superimposed into technology. Ironically, this reading requires it.  That technology as an informational concept cannot learn how to destroy, what it ergo cannot replace.

A universal rule: plagiarism nor the replicating of information into bribing something as if invented were Adam and Eve.  (i.e. " the devil made me do it" = paradise lost references the Bible)  Computers must obey this universal constant. Much the same way sin is absolved if you commit to philosophy.  Philosophy is to put a purge on those only guilty (worthy) enough to avoid grievances. (e.g. language put into laws are made to be obeyed)

If we've traced our past into "information processing" such as in future inventing [quantum computing]. This sentence being read is philosophy *data meant to cause a binary model equal to action.  If my information is true technological advancement may occur.  If it is false? The truth is information is a revealed basis for binary pattern.  Basic technological advancement of information is that our formulated 0's and 1's together assimilate cause being truth vs fallacy.

This is our information into code.  Words carry meaning only through technological content.  Digital components are the medium we as humans will use to distance technology's limitations imposed on us as biologically driven species. 

The purpose of conducting information will be bias toward those vs those with contingency useful to ideologies = understanding everything from words work as functional engines that our mind informs our intentions.  By means if philosophy is rooted the same way technology is.  That binary information cannot sense things as a human brain can.  Only genius can detect what is normal as its opposite operates.  Technology is binary and how we function is based on useful informational logic.  Patterning what is philosophy is a matter of words.  Words that carry binary elements can then offer what technology answers for the information that governs old versions of language into subatomic matter.  Information is a philosophy subject to itself as a singularity.  We will function based of commands that technology (incapable of performing themselves) cannot replicate through information alone.  

Information is therefore what is to understand binary language as a universal quality, of which technology's will be for, through a program of 0s and 1s.

“Language is, without a doubt, the most momentous and at the same time the most mysterious product of the human mind.”

The rod and the staff

 Proclaiming opinions — without arguments to support them — is rhetorics, not philosophy.

Just because.

What is a meta-claim: "rhetoric is not argument" ??

Such fallacy is in conjunction with the same feud. = That rhetoric without philosophy (philosophy acting as an ends) makes for philosophy a thing in itself. (i.e. through useful rhetoric) My point is that philosophy as rhetoric is a thing that makes argumentation a possibility through useful facts. Not just random. (Not simply devices that act rhetorically sound.) Opinions can be stated philosophically and act as factual. Even if not rooted in fallacy.

My second point is that as mentioned: rhetorically sound (random) opinion do carry validity if the philosophy is done with acuity.

It is the same principle that metaphysics applies apriorism to philosophy... there is no disputing this. Metaphysics if applied theoretically sound is a rhetorical acuity. It has to be that presupposition is rooted in philosophy, therefore the detection of cheating.

- Marco

============

Many don’t know the difference between:

• thought

• opinion

• belief

• fact

==============

Then tell us. They all are fallen terms based on assumption. They are derivatives to one another. Thoughts are independent of virtue. Opinions are isolated from facts. Beliefs are attributed to conceptually driven ideas. Facts are lawfully given to credit what is empirically sound.

Even if we disagree.

Universal axioms (across political spectrum's)

 Why do philosophers think natural liberty is important for human rights?

===============

I have to confess, that the answer to this question about what aims as a first cause in qualifying the other. Why is natural liberty figuratively in this question: more important than human rights. (The use of the word 'more' was not applied). But it appears that it is a first cause. Therefore, that's where my interpretation ends. (natural liberty = first cause) therefore equalizes human rights. Both terms are to act in conjunction with the other. We cannot declassify what should be universal axioms.

"Liberty is not a human right." would be read as false.

Reading what my proof's are (I would think) negates his question.

"Liberty is a function of human rights." would be read as true. (And if it were inversed = would also be true.)

My second proof as written above^ (I would think) philosophic.

- Marco

===========================

Two definitions needed here.

'Natural Liberty' and 'Human Rights'.

==========================

I agree. Though my rational self as acting philosophically to answer this question, would meta-define the terms per se and go from there. I do however reiterate that the definition would add context to welcome a more in depth discussion.

Therefore, one has to attempt.

 - Marco

================

What would your definitions be?

==================

Off the grid =

Natural Liberty defines our agency as equals (mortals) with equal partnership in a world without borders. (I would prefer a world constitution = acting as a universal construct.)

Human Rights is a derivative of the term natural liberty, in which the order of things in life has moral agency to treat each other unconditionally. (Fair Laws and good governance)

“It is not that television is entertaining but that it has made entertainment itself the natural format for the representation of all experience. The problem is not that television presents us with entertaining subject matter but that all subject matter is presented as entertaining.”

I often find television for educational purpose something that entertainment doesn’t end well. If it suffers the imaginative element, then not something made to learn of it.

Choiceless awareness

 Choiceless awareness implies to be aware both objectively, outside, and inwardly, without any choice. Just to be aware of the colours, of the tent, of the trees, the mountains, nature – just to be aware. Not choose, say, ‘I like this’, ‘I don’t like that’ or ‘I want this’, ‘I don’t want that’. Right? To observe without the observer. The observer is the past, which is conditioned, therefore he is always looking from that conditioned point of view, therefore there is like and dislike, my race, your race, my god, your god, all the rest of it. We are saying to be aware implies to observe the whole environment around you, the mountains, the trees, the ugly walls, the towns, aware, look at it. And in that observation there is no decision, no will, no choice. Get it? You understand it?

J. Krishnamurti

Talk 7, Saanen (Switzerland), 1977

The following is an AI generated response:

°°○○••°

This passage by J. Krishnamurti explores the concept of **choiceless awareness**, which is the practice of observing both the external world and your internal state without the interference of judgment, preference, or the "ego." To help clarify the text, here are the core themes: * **Observation Without the Observer**: Krishnamurti argues that our usual way of seeing is filtered through the "observer"—which is actually just our **past conditioning**, biases, and memories. When we say "I like this" or "I don't like that," we aren't seeing the object itself; we are seeing our reaction to it. * **The End of Conflict**: By removing "choice" (the will to change what we see or categorize it as good or bad), we eliminate the internal conflict created by desire and prejudice. * **Total Awareness**: This state requires looking at the "ugly walls" and the "mountains" with the same neutral clarity. It is an act of seeing the **whole environment** simultaneously rather than focusing only on what the mind finds pleasant or useful. > [!important] > **The Key Insight**: Choiceless awareness is not a technique you "do" with your will; it is the natural state of mind when you realize that your likes, dislikes, and identities (race, religion, etc.) are just filters of the past that prevent you from seeing the present clearly. By "observing without the observer," you perceive reality directly, free from the distortions of your own history and ego.

What is passion

 Interesting score written here by Freud. Even harder to understand. If I could properly interpret it, what Freud says: we can look at what life is and what it represents through a lens, not to mention how empty life gets, it gets to a stage we may neglect to see it for what it is. That all of us live in such vacuum. This also metaphorically acts as how we fail to examine the element for survival. Survival being our innermost misguided use into how we function as individuals. Our egos are what drive us, to the same capacity we become something only appearing as superficial on the surface.

Polarity

 

The following status update caught my attention for one reason, that I am not purging any particular thing unto myself. The answer should always be how sure am I about myself as an individual.

What is not unscientific is incomplete

 "Death - if we wish so to name that unreality - is the most terrible thing there is and to uphold the work of death is the task which demands the greatest strength. Impotent beauty hates this awareness, because understanding makes this demand of beauty, a requirement which beauty cannot fulfil. Now, the life of Spirit is not that life which is frightened of death, and spares itself destruction, but that life which assumes death and lives with it. Spirit attains its truth only by finding itself in absolute dismemberment. It is not that (prodigious) power by being the Positive that turns away from the Negative, as when we say of something: this is nothing or (this is) false and, having (thus) disposed of it, pass from there to something else; no, Spirit is that power only to the degree in which it contemplates the Negative face to face (and) dwells with it. This prolonged sojourn is the magical force which transposes the negative into given-Being."

George Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel, (1770-1831), German Philosopher and Idealist 

=====================

Hegel sounds as if we deviate into a negative state, unless our approach to death is seen as the internalization of struggle for it. Thus, the story of death is one of a life lived acknowledging it. Therefore, beauty is itself a thing unto 'death'. It requires the acknowledgement or at the very least awareness is born from momento mori. I think of this internal struggle that Hegel is commenting on - is purely satirical warfare extending throughout living life. (We must access it.)
