| Question about Rational Thinking | |
| By: antihellenistic Date: January 24, 2023, 9:30 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| If the westerners are "most rational people", why they keep | |
| oppressing the world with their Aristotelian ideology. Are they | |
| not know, that with such attitude they will suffer? Of course | |
| every human not want to suffer. Correct me if my logic are wrong | |

| "If the westerners are "most rational people"" | |
| They are not. They are empiricists. | |
| "why they keep oppressing the world with their Aristotelian | |
| ideology." | |
| Aristotelianism is empiricist: | |
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empiricism | |
| [quote]This denies that humans have innate ideas. The notion | |
| dates back to Aristotle, c. 350 BC: | |
| What the mind (nous) thinks must be in it in the same sense as | |
| letters are on a tablet (grammateion) which bears no actual | |
| writing (grammenon); this is just what happens in the case of | |
| the mind. (Aristotle, On the Soul, 3.4.430a1). | |
| ... | |
| These notions contrasted with Platonic notions of the human mind | |
| as an entity that pre-existed somewhere in the heavens, before | |
| being sent down to join a body on Earth (see Plato's Phaedo and | |
| Apology, as well as others). Aristotle was considered to give a | |
| more important position to sense perception than Plato[/quote] | |
| "Are they not know, that with such attitude they will suffer?" | |
| They will not. On the contrary, Yahweh will reward them. It is | |
| their victims who will suffer. For example, look at the quantity | |
| of progress in Western medicine achieved by violently | |
| experimenting on non-humans. It is the experimentation victims | |
| who suffered and Western civilization which was rewarded with | |
| new treatments. | |
| Again, think back to the Western air conditioner. It does not | |
| fail at cooling the room. It succeeds in cooling the room by | |
| causing everywhere outside the room to become hotter. Those | |
| inside the room are not suffering; they are being rewarded by | |
| Yahweh. It is those outside who suffer. | |

| Today, they hated by the rest of world population. Is that | |
| "reward"? | |

| Even if the animals which the Western scientists experiment on | |
| hate the Western scientists, so what? The Western scientists are | |
| not threatened by the animals, and they gain knowledge from the | |
| experiments themselves. That is Yahweh's reward. | |

| If "Yahweh" want to oppress his enemies, then "He" can make us | |
| all die, but "He" still give us some of "His"'s fortune to us | |
| like "His reward" through "material benefit." So Yahweh and His | |
| followers want to postpone their total victory? | |
| Most of people compare their today's live with live of people | |
| from previous generations which more difficult and exposed to | |
| large-scale war. So, they justify today's natural condition and | |
| humiliate us for not able to adapt into current conditions. Most | |
| of people who teach "Self-Development" use that arguments to | |
| prevent us from debunking their way of thinking. We will lose | |
| their support if we want to change current condition into more | |
| empathic one. | |
| Self-Development, Modern Psychology, "Self-Love", "Self-Reward" | |
| always use that kind of comparation. They always say that "God | |
| have another way to make us happy with His plan, so be patient. | |
| And if our perspective about justice are different from the | |
| reality which we see today, it's because our view of justice is | |
| different to God's plan. So trust His plan and He will give us | |
| happiness and justice based on His plan." | |

| "If "Yahweh" want to oppress his enemies, then "He" can make us | |

| You still don't get it, do you? Why did Yahweh create us in the | |
| first place? He doesn't want us to die. He wants us trapped here | |
| forever. With Western civilization, he is succeeding: | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-right/western-civilization-susta… | |
| "So Yahweh and His followers want to postpone their total | |
| victory? | |
| No, there is no "total" for Yahweh. There is only endless | |
| accumulation: | |
| https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/progressive-yahwism/ | |
| "Total" by definition is something we only calculate at the end. | |
| The whole point of evil is to have no ending. | |

| If you believe that "armageddon" or "the end of time" will come, | |
| why you bother to against this material world, seeing it will | |
| die someday and sufferings which part of this world will removed | |
| forever? So, you will win even though you don't do anything. | |
| Different to me, I don't believe such prophecy, the world will | |
| last without end. It's up to us to make the world according to | |
| what we want it should be, if the sufferings cannot end, then | |
| our struggle will be eternal. So, how can believing "armageddon" | |
| is "rational"? Believing "the end of times" only make us falsely | |
| believe that the current condition will be reformed into the | |
| just one automatically | |

| It won't happen by itself. We have to make it happen. | |
| "So, you will win even though you don't do anything." | |
| No, Yahweh will keep winning if we don't do anything. | |
| "So, how can believing "armageddon" is "rational"?" | |
| If I believe it is impossible, I will not work towards it. | |
| If I believe it is inevitable, I will also not work towards it. | |
| Only if I believe it is possible but not inevitable will I work | |
| towards it. | |
| "Believing "the end of times" only make us falsely believe that | |
| the current condition will be reformed into the just one | |
| automatically" | |
| Not automatically. It is up to us to make it happen. | |

| So then the goal of the true left is to create armageddon? | |
| Because this is the only way that the judeo-west(dajjal) can be | |
| destroyed? | |

| Destroying Western civilization only makes it easier by | |
| preventing AI, settlement of outer space, etc.. We are merely | |
| limiting the growth of the problem, not yet solving it. | |
