=Beliefs= On what philosophy is

Philosophy, as the main goal of this very page, should be the first part of our investigations into the nature of the world. Philosophy, meaning "love of wisdom" is just that, but what does that mean, and what is its purpose? Philosophy is about looking for truths, objective truths about the world which can be confirmed with logic, and that is it's purpose, to mirror the world as closely as it can and to produce a description of it so that it may be understood, that can happen only objectively, so philosophy, therefore, should aim at the highest possible objectivity (which we will discuss shortly), philosophy however has forgotten itself in the last 150 years, prefering to concentrate only on the subjective, which defeats the whole point, because then it only becomes a clear reflection of the "philosohper"'s personality, and not a hidden one (in the Nietzschean sense), there are 2 things we need to do then, for philosophy to finally become itself again: 1) focus on the objective, 2) rid ourselves of prejudice.

On the dialectic

The dialectic is the philosopher's tool to the truth, with it he is able to explore ideas and discuss them with himself or others (through language, which we will discuss shortly), people have always tried to find how the dialectic works, for nature seems to be one huge dialectic, so if we crack the code of the dialectic we will crack the code of nature, but that is no simple task to do, the dialectic is a complicated thing and the formula used will truly have to all encompassing, as it needs to describe the whole of nature, which is nothing short of a miracle if it can be done, so far we have had almost no progress in cracking the code of this dialectic, the closest we have gotten is thesis-antithesis-synthesis which is nothing but the dialectic of a liberal democratic society and cannot work anywhere but in this very society and is limited by it, thus it cannot reach beyond political, moral or philosophical centrism, so to speak, thus we find ourselves in need to abandon all dialectic formulas and just dialect without a guide as to how to do so, then we can perhaps retrospect on our dialectics and reflect as to how they work, but given that the dialectic is a natural process even if we gave its formula we cannot just speedrun it, it has to happen naturally, so it will do us no good if we find it, we will just know how it works, but wont be able to reach some new, faster, or better way of dialectic, but i still think that since the dialectic is the nature of the world we have to attempt to find it, as to find out how the world works, which will provide us with knowledge of the absolute, the subject and existence as a whole (which we will talk about later).

On the need for egoism in philosophy

The only thing preventing philosophy from objectivity is prejudice, therefore it needs to be gotten rid of, that can happen only by renouncing your ego, which is done in the form of accepting egoism as the true (anti-)moral and (anti-)political system, if this is done then philosophy can become objective because the philosopher wouldnt feel the unconscious urge to justify his moral and political prejudices, because egoism is openly admitting that one can do what he pleases and needs not obey any moral or political system, thus making it useless and needless, all this also leads us to anti-economics in general, would a philosopher wish, however, to create a moral or political system he needs to do it completely independently of the rest of his system, the whole system will be corrupted because of it, we then come to conclude that egoism is the basis of all objective philosophy and objectivity cannot exist without it, or at least in the beginning of objectivity, for example when a philosopher who has accepted egoism creates a system (which is objective) he then (afterwards, but never beforehand) can create a moral or political system, outside of his philosophical one, the point that egoism is the first basis of objectivity remains.

On language and its ups and downs

The dialectic, philosophy, ideas, etc. can only be discusses through language, i.e. words, i.e. abstract ideas, which are formed a priori (with space and time, which are a priori because they are the condition under which empirical a posteriori shit takes place, therefore they must be a priori, because the condition for a posteriori cannot be learned a posteriori) after they have first been concrete (representational) ideas, words are what differentiates humans from animals, in that sense humans can be called abstractis animalibus, they however other than being an evolutionary (pun indented) way to communicate, are also a prison which we are forced into, true thinking happens without words, just by mental pictures, that is also why the geniuses of history have all thought it pictures, because it allows them to escape the prison of words which they are forced in and allows them to go beyond them, thinking in pictures allows us to discover stuff that doesnt have words for it yet, so will be impossible to conclude with their help, platonic ideas, for example are not accessible to word minded simpletons, but only to the genius who have the ability to go beyond them, words (or abstract ideas, as we can also call them) are what makes a something something (which we will talk about shortly), they are what we use to describe the absolute, but they fail at their job, as with them something is always missing out of the picture, this affects even geniuses, if they want to share their findings outside the prison of words they eventually have to come back in the cave, and since people in there cannot understand their mental picture they have to convert them into words, even the best poet, then, cannot give his readers the full picture (feeling, scenery, etc.), are they not gifted with at least some amount of visualization that will help them understand it visually, because otherwise, the poet's words will be just that - words, all too empty words. Truth, therefore, cannot be said, it has to be felt, tasted even. TASTE THE TRUTH, O, YOU, BRAVE WANDERER!

On beings, things and the absolute

What defines "being", when does something start "being", when does a "cup" become a "thing", what is all "this"??? These are all questions which we have to investigate before we continue forwards, so let us do that, for something to "be" means for it to be actualized, realized by an individual, therefore something which is outside the individual's consciousness cannot be by any stretch of the imagination real, even Kant's "thing-in-itself" is something because it is realized, but because he says we cant know/realize it, wouldnt that make it not "be"? But to that i have to say no, and no, for one very simple reason, even if we cannot know/realize it as it is, we can still know/realize it as "X", which actualizes it and makes it real, the search for that "thing-in-itself" which Schopenhauer continued after Kant, is but the search of what we can realize outside time, space and causality because this world as a product of the subject, and therefore time, space and causality even tho "real" to the subject is only an illusion created for him by his mind, because all of our phenomena have to come from somewhere, and that is their origin, the true nature of reality,"but would the thing-in-itself no exist had we not named it?": to that i say NO! for everything is a phenomena of the thing-in-itself, therefore realizing the phenomena which one cannot NOT do is also realizing the thing-in-itself, he comes to find that is the "will" which is irrelevant, currently, but comes to show that even the unknown is something that "is", because we make it "be", and since everything is one (absolute), by realizing one part of the it we recognize the whole thing, the subject, therefore, actualizes itself just by being, as it is what makes things "be" it must therefore be the ultimate being, i.e. it is eternal (as he outside of time and space and our best bet is to say that because we cannot determine how something outside of space came to be or when it came to be) and is self-actualizing and self-defining, as nothing besides him can define him, for he is what defines everything else, also it is worth mentioning that since the subject make the everything "be", then everything that is "being" is his property, as it is his alone, so we arrive at egoism. Ok, but now, when does something become "something"? That of course would be when it is labeled, we'll come to find that if we strip all the labels away the world suddenly becomes one almost Godly unity, where everything is interconnected and dependent on the other, which all of that is then placed upon the shoulders of the subject (individual) for him to deal with and phenomenologically experience, to make it easier for himself he then categorizes everything by labeling it, a tree only becomes a "tree" once i give it its name based on its resembles to other things which look like it does, before that, like everything else it is a part of the universe, dependent on it just as much as the universe is dependent on it, we come to find (once again) that since words' primary purpose is to make things seem divided when they are in fact unitary, they suck balls at describing the world, when it can clearly be describes only outside of words' prison. Now comes the third question, "what is all "this", all "this" is the absolute, a phenomena of the thing-in-itself, which is one, as outside of time and space there cannot exist more than one thing, our job, then is to learn and discover as much as we possibly can about this "absolute", as it is the only thing that can possibly be imagined to exist, we are a part of it, making it so that we are dependent on it, as a part of it, and it is dependent on us, as "being" happens only when it is recognized by the individual, the absolute, thing-in-itself, phenomena, everything that is and can be simply VANISHES if the individual subject does.

On the faults of materialism & rationalism

Materialism and rationalism - simple ideas for simple people, are they not? One would think that no one would believe them still, as they can be disproved with one sentence each, let us now destroy the 21st century, then: 1) the condition for the universe and matter is time and space, which are in the subject (individual), since the universe (and the subject, as materialism claims) is inside time and space, time and space must therefore contain the condition for themselves within themselves, which is nothing short of impossible as it makes zero logical sense. 2) Everything in the time and space (and the universe) is cause-effect, no doubt about that, but if that is the true nature of reality, then how did it come to be? Was it some short of mistake? (As a pessimist, i have to say yes, but that is besides the point.) The first cause in the chain cannot have come from a reason, as it is first CAUSE, therefore the first cause of the universe must be irrational (a will, for example) since that is the only possible explanation of how the first reason came to be, if there was nothing to logically cause it.

On true and eternal knowledge

(WARNING: this is the section written in the worst way and may have some logical inconsistencies, excuse it for now, i will fix it in the future) The search for the absolute can be regarded as the search for the thing-in-itself, the one true nature of reality which explains itself and everything that can be and is, it would be impossible to learn it outwardly, it may now seem impossible to do so, but fear not, for we are IT, therefore introspection will allow us to know it, now that we introspect we come to find that our body is both will and representation, thus we come to find that will is the absolute nature of the world and (inward: i am the world: egoism ; outward: the world is like me: will and representation ; in both cases this remains true and the will remains) the thing-in-itself.

Life and body affirmation as a response to pessimism

Life is sufferining, there is no denying that, you would have to be nothing but a fool to even deny it, the only people who outwardly seem to be spared of suffering are ascetics which, as Schopenhauer said, have turned away from the will to a life of quiet peace and solitude where they find happiness (it is important to note that Schopenhauer viewed happiness as the absence of suffering), but he himself admitted that asceticism is only for a select few, not even the rich are spared from suffering, for if you are born rich you will be cursed with boredom, pointless suffering because of your surrogate activities and the biggest of the curses: empathy, for when you are both rich (meaning you have no problems of your own to worry about) and emphatic you will most certainly suffer more than a poor man and a homeless man, because they have their own suffering to worry about, hence their acknowledgement of suffering is just that of their own, for the most part, but the rich man who sees his fellow men suffer, o, how cursed he is, for the suffering of the world is endless and when he is free from his suffering, he directs his sight at that of others, causing his to feel theirs, resulting in way more suffering that the poor and homeless man combined, how shall a person deal with this cruel world then? Are you not lucky enough to become an ascetic your only chance to redeem your suffering is to become a great man, for the great men in history have used their suffering to create glory, to make themselves remembered, to have songs sung in their name, monuments build in their image, and that memory of its echo history and cause future generations to tremble in both fear and admiration, that is the only noble way to redeem your suffering, by turning it on its head and turning it to joy for the future, much like how poets do it, "What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed as signs and cries pass over they sound like beautiful music." as Kierkegaard wrote in Either/or, let that be your "why" through all the suffering! Now, how does one go about doing this? Two ways to be remembered: by your passions (poems, painting, books, art in general) and your reason (philosophy, military conquest, anything that requires a high degree of intelligence), both ways lead to one path: the body, in order to affirm passions: AFFIRM THE BODY, FOR IT IS THE GIVER OF PASSIONS ; in ordfer to affirm reason: AFFIRM THE BODY, FOR IT IS THE KEEPER OF REASON (i.e. the brain)! Go on, you brave soul, go on and affirm!

The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?

=Personality= BasedManism's personality is the same as its creator's, that should be taken as: intellectual, creative, poetic, quiet, stubborn, gloomy, cynical, paranoid ; often goes on rants about stuff he either fully likes or dislikes, no in-between, he also likes to poke holes in other's people logic and debate them about it, he is however no stranger to having fun, looking forward to his meetups with his small friend group, when he is seen with them he is almost unrecognizable than when he's alone or with people whom he doesnt consider friends, he can very often be seen thinking or reading quietly when alone. It can also be noted that he is an INFJ 5w4 (529) sp/sx melancholic-phlegmatic.
