Realism vs. Idealism

Moving from subjectivity towards objectivity is a movement from practical pragmatism towards impractical pragmatism; a movement towards the indifference of reality, necessitating a similar gradual indifference.
An unsustainable state, for humans, who, as organisms, must care and experience world as need/suffering.
A movement similar to that of light - increasing possibility of interactivity in one spatial-dimension, producing a decline of possibility in all other dimensions - speed.

There’s a difference between bringing language ‘down to earth’ and pulling it into the earth to bury it.
Nihilists want to bury it in allegory and romanticism, and idealism, (positive nihilists) or they want to convert it to meaninglessness and declare philosophy dead (pure nihilists).
If the world lacks absolute, create them with semiotics; if these fail to convince or to produce the desirable outcome, then settle for absolute negation as the one and only certainty.

Of course, with a middle of the road signification transvaluing both, with constructed objectives vested in probable outcomes. All ideals are realized to connect with all possible designs of possible modeling
are vested as usual in an anthropomorphiic medium

The eternal return to higher conscious manifestations of the ego

are signified as problems consisting of the signification of the particular that has to be overcome primarily, at least within the elementary participation mystique of two elements, creating sense of the binary signifier.

In the most reductive sense the idealization of a ideal manifestations of transcendental reality require a set of antithesis. Primal pre reflective visualization results in an apeothetic reduction toward nil , an absolute nihilization toward absurdity.

Not the eyes, language is a mirror into the soul, if by soul we mean the mind/body synthesis.
In times of decline, as the American Empire has now entered, the majority will be taken over by superstition, confusion, and desperation, reflected through their use and understanding of language.

We live, now, in a state of increasing desperation and degeneracy.
If words like male/female can lose their empirical meaning, and become terms of ideological contention, then how much easier it is to do so with more synthetic words, referring to more complex concepts?

The modern American infected mind lives in a state of linguistic confusion.
Words do not refer to biological real phenomena, but have become ideological - abstractions that replace empiricism with emotionalism.

Words have now been detached from empiricism and attached to abstractions, found in books, or in other minds - in subjective collectives.
Each adopting a specific jargon, reflecting their method of coping with reality - their nihilistic style.
They gather in ‘safe’ areas, i.e., areas free from predation, to casually regurgitate and share their shared method of self-medication - their shared coping jargon.

Although many of these misused and abused words have conventional meaning they are not grounded in empiricism, but intentionally maintained as ideologies, to be bought and sold on the market of ideas/ideals, where trends emerge and then gradually disappear and replaced by new fashion trends with their own lingo and their own style.

If not absolute power - omnipotence - then all will find parity ni shared powerlessness.
If omniscience is impossible, then we can find parity in uniform ignorance.

If not absolute oneness, then absolute void.
The either/or of Nihilistic binary dualisms.

Nihilism must reduce language to an ideology, referring to abstractions with minimal or no reference to an shared experienced world.
It must do so to sell its own ideological coping mechanism to those who share the same existential anxieties and genetic weaknesses, gathering them into cult-like groups, sharing the same jargon and the same obscurantism.

Some would rather render language empirically meaningless to reject a world that confronts and challenges their idealistic conception of themselves.

Male, female, race, love, morality, value, god etc.
All mystical words referring to occult realms, where the like-minded - those sharing the same psychology - can escape into.

Empirically grounding these terms will disarm them. This is why they fight, tooth and nail, those that try to return language to tis original utility, calling them names, like nazi, fascist, objectivist, or accusing them of an ulterior motive, of an emotional motive…fearing that their own may be exposed through their choice of words and how they chose to define them.
With no objective foundation, words become reflections of an esoteric foundation - where emotion replaces evidence and reason, and ego validates.
Quantities replace qualities, and ‘truth’ is measured by how many feeble minds an ideology can seduce and integrate into its obscurantism.

Vagueness maintaining an aura of all-inclusivity. None will be insulted or threatened; nobody will be turned away, if they show the willingness to submit to their common coping ideology.

Given any word, what does it mean to speak of its “empirical meaning”?

Example:
Male = biology, reproduction…appearance, behaviour…

First came the action, then the word.
Interactivity - how the specific phenomenon relates and interacts with other phenomena.

Nihilists use trivialities to obscure and declare empiricism an ideological construct.
In the case of the biological type ‘male’ they may use the fact that males dress differently I different cultures; some have bears, others do not; some use blue as the colour of maleness, others use black, or green, etc…
The use memes to convolute and to obscure…like garments covering the body may be used to declare the body inconsequential and what really matter sis the garment that covers it - fashion.

Abstraction usurps and precedes the physical. Idea before the real, not as an extension of it; not as a reference to it.
Logos preceding existence.

Nihilism inverts.
noumenon (idea/ideal) before phenomenon (apparent, present).
Language as world creating; language as world negating.
It’s range of effect determined by how many speak the same language, and interpret its meanings in the same way - cults of innocence, cults of inter-subjective meaning.
Reality is excluded or selectively referred to. idea is the standard, not the real.
Lacking empirical validation it finds support in collective needs and desires - shared weakness seeking relief, seeking salvation from need/suffering - the very experience of existing.

Except the principals have not appear to have shifted, particularly those that referred to underlying referential.
For instance meaning which arose within the meaning complex of ‘ideal’ , have references to other similar words, such as -idea, ideation, idealizationn, etc. When searching for the connections , it is of a modern school of thinking about the solution that the search culminated within the obscurity which Wittgenstein. GE Moore , Russel have indicated within their conceptual framework. This did start with the Viennese Circle, and the basic motives spelled out in Principia Mathematics and the Principia Ethica.

The reduction toward the literal interpretation within a domain of 'family resemblances, signifies a backward look, into and through differing semantic and logical levels of symbolism.
That this accords similar structural sharing with phonetical properties, do manifest in the English language literal accented shifts, particularly when large gaps are considered , say from middle English.
The idealizationsnare are not indicative to changes in the content of the phenome , or the concept beneath it, for idealizatio structurally remained the same in the architecture or configuration of ideal parts.

Within the ideal, the confifuratio consists of both, the phenomenal descriptive, which is the subsist of characteristics that the idea under lying the form is structured out of.
The modern destrictural process was actually discovered by Husserl , but reiterated by a more recent phenomenologist : Derrida.

That these philosophers connected with the epoche or the gap between the followers of Heidegger, who took a variable part with Nietzche, could be examined as the motive which passes through Heidegger’s temporal signification.

The ideal actually was deconstructed phenomenally bit not eidectically, and the analogous phenomenal reduction. had identifiable connections with their deconstructed counterparts.

However the buck stops there. Their is no underlying cognitive de-differentiation, the ideal that consists of identifiable elemwnts is untouched by resemblance, the very same elements in identification, the connection of phonetics as signifiers with prescriptive anthropomorphic characteristics, remain the same since the earliest days of western Hellenic culture.

What did change were the ethical approaches signifying the under lying shifts in mores.

The ideal beauty was primarily of an animus generated concept, where as in De anima, the spiritual awakening took an accompanied part.

The male and female gods were projected from within cross purposes representing the various ethical human concerns, and particularly, as they interfazed morals and structural basis of differans between the sexes.

For instance there were the same concerns with dressing and cross dressing, of homosexuality and heterosexuality, as they effected mores and were effected by them, as did later on.
What did change was not the idealizationn under lying the affective-subjective realizations , but the more by which such ideas were covered.

The Victorian period confiscated matters, and there was.maximum cover up of body parts that were most attrituble toward ‘descency’ whereas the most.subtle parts became more subtly and erotically metamorphosus.
The subtle matters.got the deeper the metaphor sank into the Romantic idiom.

If these processes are.recognized and recognized as vague and occult, then let those descriptions form these ideas with differing webs of meaning.

The underlying forms remain unchanged and uniform.

The inverting shift is towards the apparent or away, contrary to it.
language used to clarify and approach objectivity, or to semantically bury, and pretend you’ve escaped the apparent within your own mind.
Like in any art form, an artist either represents the real as accurately as his talent and his perceptions allow, adding his own flare, ro they depict the artist’s reaction to the real, displaying his internal trauma, fear, distaste for what is present.

A mix of both, where the motive of the artist is exposed by how much he wants to represent the real, or his own emotional reactions to it.

Nihilism is a measure of the movement away from the external towards the safety of the internal; away form objectivity towards increasing levels of subjectivity, becoming inter-dependent, and necessitating quantities of like-minded to preserve the shared detachments.
Sort of like the Matrix, without the Abrahamic slant given by the brothers who later had sex-changes - exposing their own mental health.

Following through with the Matrix allegory…

Nihilism is an inter-subjective artificiality, connected via an external medium maintained by a system that has tis own motives for doing so - politics/marketing.
Participants co-exist ni a surreal mental space/time and reject all attempts to be taken out of tis comforting contexts, because the external world’s relationships - its meanings - are indifferent to their needs and uncertain - chaos and order - whereas within the shard as space reason and order dominates absolutely.
Within this inter-subjective space/time there are no natural restrictions - no physical limitations - to codes - language is liberated from the apparent, and with it ideology is detached form reality’s contraints.
Words acquire a magical aura. With them alternative realities can be constructed within this inter-subjective space/time.
Outside of it they are useless- impotent.
We are now in what Baudrillard called “Hyper-reality” - the desert of the real.
Such artificiality can only survive through indoctrinating as many minds into tis contexts as possible - it must proselytize and seduce - expanding its range of influence.

Participants are engaged in a collective solipsistic arrangement - a social agreement.
I will not disrupt your fantasies if you do not disturb mine.
What does not abide by this unspoken agreement is ‘evil’ or a negative factor in this collective project.

Nihilism is entirely linguistic.
Read how it is conventionally defined?
It presumes abstractions and then demands that the real provide them.
If it does not, the real is negative - is nullified - not the ideas that were projected and expected to be present.

Just see how the concept of ‘love’ has been defined out of existence - defined in supernatural, or idealistic ways.
The individual will never encounter such a concept - will never experience its ideal form - so he will be forever disillusioned, seeking the Goose that lays the Golden Egg.
Motivated to work, to continue negating and seeking for what is nowhere in existence. Inevitably disappointed because the real can never match the unreal, the imagined. Reality cannot compare to fantasy.

Much talk about love because it is absent. Songs continuously using it, to feed into a demand that cannot be satiated.

Take another word, ‘beauty’ referring to physical & mental/psychological symmetry & proportionality.
It has been, intentionally, rendered an ideological concept - subjectivized.
Now anything and everything can be called ‘beautiful’. So, the term itself is meaningless.
All are beautiful; all is so, therefore ugliness is non-existent, so the concept has lost its meaning. “Ugly” is only the one who denies this ideological universality - a nazi of the spirit.

It’s now a word of self-comforting - self-pleasuring. “In the eye of the beholder”. Subjective.
It must remain so. Otherwise?
Someone will be hurt, excluded.

But hyperreality evolved out of a mix of a hypo thetical presumption?
Or, as Peacegirl would or may have it, it was the result of a process of crossing a natural boundary , as reductive, where the natural imterphased with it’s own simulation, how can this be?

The simulation or the artwork always superseded or arrived before the the real thing, so by the time the abstract expression mixed with the real medium within which it took on a formal identifiable connection, it was said that art creates reality within it’s own set boundary .
How and why became peripheral considerations.

Life became the canvas upon which muses painted purpose in an objective sense. The imminently identified generated a transcendent reality within the scope of it’s intentionality.

The topical facade bared, the emperor’s clothes bared, the naive imterpretations , covered up, shamefully , were again uncovered, not as.an intentional and formless act within a preformamcd of dissociated. gestures , by a regressive naive approach to added complexity, but through a childlike wonder toward minimalization.
Sure the metaphor thickened and.hardened the obscurity that.left hanging the enigma of spinning.a.credibal ethos out of the good or bad applications of newly formed effects that evolved between logo-semantics and scientific investigations.

Nevertheless, fillers were always introduced ex machina, breaking the pattern of a reified fallacy attributed to nature.
Natural processes intervene in that tenuous connection, man is learning slowly to begin again to do what he should do, instead of doing it unintentionally, he is reconstruxtin9 and revisimg the methods by which he first learned to doubt his power to will a new world out of the ashes that will demolish all if he does not.

And it is unrecognized forms of.love.that conjoin with the lust.for a guiltless life that has to recognized.

Artificiality versus natural environments.
How can we define the concept ‘artificial’ by remaining true to empiricism and the limitations we’ve imposed upon ourselves concerning reason?
A definition that will be clear and highlight the process of detachment from reality.

Artificial = The point in space/time when the interventions of an organism upon its natural environment begin to affect it more than the environment it intervened upon.
A gradual detachment from nature.
All life intervenes upon tis environment, with every action and every choice - free-will - it makes. But it does not produce artificial environments.
Only man, as far as we know, can intervene upon its environment to a degree that it begins to suffer the consequences of its own interventions more than the environment it intervened upon.

This produces positive, to it, consequences but also, often ignored, negative ones. We call the negative repercussions ‘pollution’, and this would include both the material pollution we all cannot deny but also genetic and linguistic pollutants, which we often and routinely remain ignorant of.
The effect is one of snowballing.
The intervention must be intervened upon to deal with the negative consequences…until the resources no longer suffice, leading to an implosion.
As such, all Empires collapse under the weight of their own interventions and their byproducts.

Language mirrors mental processes - psychology.
Language reflects this gradual deterioration towards artificiality.
Art, no longer representing reality, but art creating an artificial reality - an echo chamber - art referring to other art - philosophy could not have evaded this fate.
ideologies referring to other ideologies. Text referring to other text’ Perspectives commenting on another’s perspectives.
Inter-Subjective solipsism.

Language evolving to accommodate this Hyper-Reality.
Detached from the real, it seeks foundations in the surreal, in sensation, emotion, hedonism validating its contexts.
Scripture referring to other Script.
A compounding matrix of inter-subjective nonsense.

if there were any noteworthy difference between ‘artificial’ and ‘natural’, it would be defined like this: an artificial thing is a natural thing produced by a natural thing (animal) that causes the act of creation of a natural thing, something that nature wouldn’t have caused without it (the animal) being an intermediary agent in that act of creation.

glass is natural. a pepsi bottle is natural. a pepsi factory worker is natural. the factory workers production of the bottle is natural. but we call it ‘artificial’ because the bottle didn’t grow out of the ground by itself. starving to death is natural. social security is natural. people who pass it into law and people who use it are natural. but we call it artificial because the program didn’t materialize out of thin air. natural people had to make it, but that doesn’t make it unnatural. artifical does not mean ‘unnatural’.

this distinction is almost as uninteresting as it is simple and not much more can be said about it.

but what you do is point at an environment in which things and processes are present that you don’t approve of, and call those aspects of it ‘artificial’, as if they are violently against nature.

omg women’s liberation is unnatural.
omg socialism is unnatural.
omg the iphone is unnatural.
omg flock of seagulls is unnatural ('cause they run so far away? i dunno)
omg interracial breeding is unnatural.
omg those breasts are unnatural.

and all this is terrible, terrible, terrible because history is on a trajectory of desperate degeneracy. no. you gotta remember, the bulk of society will always be, must always be, mediocre, so that exceptions like me have room to play and make fArt out of the world and the people in it. and to think you’d like to deprive me of that right. unbelievable.

The understanding of natural versus artificial, helps to differentiate what emerges spontaneously from interactivity and natural selection and what emerges through human interventions, governed by human ideologies.

It clarifies, as language ought to do.
It distinguishes and differentiates.

For example, defining artificial, in the way I just did, the difference between gene/meme is accentuated, and such concepts as morality can follow to differentiate what moral behaviour is, how it emerges naturally, and at what point man intervened with a new set of ethics - addendums to natural behaviour that made cooperative reproduction and survival possible.
We can now distinguish morality from ethics, giving a different term to man-made behaviours born out of social necessities form those born form natural necessities, born from natural selection processes.

As always nihilists want o reduce everything to meaninglessness. and uselessness. they want to conceal rather than reveal.
If not absolute certainty, then absolute uncertainty. Applied selectively, always.
No skepticism in some areas, and extreme absolutist standards in others. Inconsistent consistency. The mark of a hypocrite.

Watch the straw-manning above. I never used “unnatural”…yet this imbecile puts it in my mouth, like the other one, his intellectual equal, iamgbiguous did.
Artificial does not mean ‘unnatural’. I defined it in a very precise way. But this hypocrite wants to ridicule….because cynicism has worked so well ni his life, he wants to continue.

The Nil is powerful. All must be absorbed into it, before they surrender to it. An act of vengeance before the absolute end.
Negate, ridicule, nullify, repeat.
It’s always another’s fault.
If not gawd, not the judges, not da paulice…then the Universe.
Power of the nil.
