The Phenomenon of Man ... Wo-man

I don’t know what prompts you to complicate it. It’s always that simple. :confused:

What causes it is the same for everyone, the complacency to avoid filling in the dots between the simple and the complicated.

Complacency, also, is only another catchword covering other reasons.

I have to hear about simple works. I’m up for swapping. :mrgreen:

It’s not complacency for me, it’s an abject fear of too much responsibility.

But what if, one is forced, trapped within a responsibility one can not avoid? (With no exit in sight)

This is why I consider Nihilism spurious, it has not gone beyond it, except in terms of dropping out.

Explain please.

Explain please.

I can agree that a few can keep the many in place, and that’s definitely not a balanced chore… why be everyone else’s anchor.

Exactly Mags, why? Stupid love and compassion, selflessness and more ridiculous stupidity lathered on top until the flock is better off. :sad-roulette: Whatever better off means, Phyllo’s up to the task God, so tell Phyllo.

I have no idea what this is about. :confused:

But the categorical, ethical has ramifications above and beyond the problems of non attachment, whereas, and wherein the social must overcome personal interest. That is why no exit for an existential nihilism either. Not that the existent and the value in existence-life can ever be united in this way.

No exit from this split between the for itself and the in itself.

Therefore, we never know the difference between them and are compelled by others who know, or we have to act in accord with it, as we knew it. This is our responsibility. we can man up to it, or abandoned the position. But we can never leave, because there is no place to go to avoid it. It is the product of being thrown into the world.

You are on a page in philosophy and I am on the street walking the walk. There is the difference.

How do you abandon eternity?

By trying to leave here, and now, by successive ,fruitless attempts to get away.

The only thing Sartre has left, is, that getting away never happens, because the here and now is always there and then.

Actually, the other way: the there and then, is always the here and now. No exit.

You have made fruitless attempts?

Where’s Jesus for Christ’s sake?

Jesus the man gone, Jesus the God is with His Father, and His Father is You and I brother. We are responsible for Him.

I resign and you never started, so there’s that glitch. :evilfun:

A deserving flock… most humans do not have anyone else’s interests at heart but their own… the selfish gene doing its job perhaps, but in unpleasant and harmful ways.
