People are zealously and militantly irrational. They refuse to think under virtually any circumstances. They’re terrified of gaining knowledge of any type. So they decline to be rational ever.
Skepticism of reason is universal. People say rational thought doesn’t yield objective truth or certain knowledge. But this is nonsense. And everybody knows it.
Human beings aren't truly skeptical about the power, authority, and efficacy of reason. But they pretend to be. So it's the same thing. As a principle, people are fanatically opposed to rationality.
The great relativists and subjectivists of history and today claim reality is unknowable. Even tho they perfectly well understand the opposite is true. The great dogmatists and faithful of history and today pretend that god exists. Even tho they perfectly well understand the opposite is true. Many people even embrace all four falsities and depravities – relativism, subjectivism, dogma, and faith.
So here we are! Everyone is irrational on purpose. Everybody is a mindless drone or braindead zombie. The left-wing progressives live for and serve "the collective" while the right-wing conservatives live for and serve "the lord". Neither entity exists.
Both groups renounce the Sacred Self – which does. People willingly reject their own mind and life. They repudiate reason and reality. Human beings deliberately oppose and destroy their own pleasure and happiness.
When I personally first came across a semi-decent explanation of politics – after 18 years of relentless brainwashing – I figured it out in under two hours. Because that's all it takes!
But that's because I'm rational. I use my thinking, reasoning mind. I seek understanding, knowledge, and truth. But I seem to be unique in this.
Ultimately, the supposedly pro-reason Aristotle never said god was non-existent. And the supposedly pro-reason Ayn Rand created a cult. Both did so deliberately.
They knew what they were doing all along. They knew it was irrational and evil. But they did so anyway.
Now all supposedly pro-reason, Aristotelian-based Randians are either cultists or people who refuse to condemn cultism. All of them are irrational and evil. And all are this way on purpose.
would've liked to know more clearly about your view. How'are you more rational then everybody else.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know anything, and we do everything because of sexual instincts and old reflexes.
@Anonymous -- You can find out about my views quite a bit by reading my other blog posts or my three main books.
DeleteWe humans do, in fact, know A LOT. Nihilism is a considerably false and evil viewpoint.
I'm more rational than everyone else due to my rational, liberal philosophy; and because I rebelled against my evil fellow man at a mere five years old.
And we do things because of rational thought, virtuous choice, education, culture, experience, biology, passion, emotion, drives, and instincts, among others.
