I was reading a quote on someone's page, and realized that while true, it is only true in this paradigm. The quote had to do with a craftsman of devices that are only necessary because of the paradigm in which we exist, one of artificial scarcity and dependence which breeds hatred and thus war. While the quote was interesting, having to do with the creator never witnessing the functionality of his creation, it is only interesting because there is need for such creations in this paradigm.

And it hit me. All philosophies of man are flawed because they are based on a diseased edifice of society, a paradigm that is unnatural and the product of a human mental disease.

As I demonstrate, preach about, opine, and convey to the best of my fucked up abilities elsewhere, all of society, all of the history of mankind since we first put plow to soil, is based on a diseased version of ourselves. Even agriculture itself is a flaw, as we aren't meant to eat plants. So the very foundation of our modern society is entirely based in flawed logic due to disease.

And as a result, all philosophies are themselves flawed, or at the very least suspect and untrustworthy.


I think I knew this all along, as I never read philosophies, with one exception, and only in the past few years: Carl Sagan's Billions and Billions. But I read it critically. My notion was that reading other people's philosophy would taint my thoughts and prevent me from coming to natural conclusions which were not at all influenced by others. This meant a lot of work on my part of course, but then given human capabilities based on our potential (as opposed to our current average level of...um...function), that's really the whole point.

There are two flaws with the quote by the way. One is that it is unreal because it is based on the paradigm. The other though, is that while it may be interesting to ponder that a craftsman who makes things like bombs never sees his work, the real point to ponder is that he must be sure of his creation and that it functions as intended, flawlessly. It thus doesn't matter if he never sees his work function, because his understanding of his work and its ability to perform as designed, along with his understanding of the design and its requirements for function, i.e. how big a blast it makes, substitutes well for being able to see that his work functions each time it is used. He will know it does and how big a blast it makes without having to see it.

But then again, he wouldn't exist in a disease-free society...because there would be no conflict.
