The two things I have learned from Philosophy is how to hate yourself infinitely and how to argue with literally everyone about anything
fuck all philosophy except for whatever the hell Diogenes was trying to teach
direct action
How about just being polite & going into a debate with those who hold diffrent beliefs then you?
how about you eat my shit and hair
staying true to spirit
the OG of the vicious burn
Diógenes said you couldn’t spit anywhere but in the face of a rich man because once this rich dude invited him into his house and literally told him you can’t spit on anything that touches the floor so Diógenes spit in this guys face
here is a very good painting of Diógenes in his tub that i had the good fortune of actually seeing earlier this year
I love that Diogenes is making a comeback in the twenty-first century.

Okay so here’s this post talking about a self aware robot which yall should read (including tags).
Okay so the theory that humans don’t have free will has been around for a long time, and I’m too lazy to dig up my old psych book but the theory is basically this: A human doesn’t have free will because he is lead by urges constantly. If a person is hungry, they eat. If a person is tired, they sleep. A human doesn’t truly have free will because they’re led by urges and outside forces, like peer pressure. Makes sense, right?
A robot doesn’t get hungry. A robot doesn’t necessarily need to sleep. A robot doesn’t have millions of years of instincts programmed into them. A robot doesn’t have to be susceptible to peer pressure. So the question is: can a robot truly have free will? And while a human cannot? Can anything at all have free will without collapsing in on itself? To make a creature without urges is to make a vegetable, right?
I’m interested in a robot that’s able to question itself. A robot asking the same questions that I just did. Does he truly have free will? Or is he programmed to think so? Is every move he makes part of his programming or did he decide to do it himself? Did he decide to cross the street because he wanted to, or because something in his programming that he’s not aware of told him to? Is he a program, or is he a person?
everyone in the world was an absolute dumbass until 1781 when kant invented thinking
Too bad he couldn’t invent something to cover up that massive forehead of his
you just annihilated the entirety of western philosophy with that sentence
