Survival Orientation: A historically assumed precondition
Pre modernist, pre-buddhist, pre-anti-thought thought had a desire to survive as an assumed precondition. The nihilism of modernity is just a manifestation of Western guilt propaganda.
Anyone want to argue about it?

I'd like to debate with you.
But first can you tell me:
Who are the american leaders of this invasive virulent movement that you speak of? (besides QRS and anyone associated with this forum)
Who are the evil shepards?
Can you give me some links so I can read about these evil nihilists of modernity who spread their guilt propaganda?

you're arguing that "coceptual/abstract thought" is a natural evolution, right? there are numerous arguments to the contrary. it's not that we had a predisposition toward thinking; it's more likely that the self/other distinction (the crux of dualistic thought) was a sort of mutation tied to the rise of empire.

I'm glad you're main concern is fingering the perpetrators. It's comforting that you agree these treacheries are being committed.Cory Patrick wrote:Mill, be sure to include actual names of the people you feel have caused america (and whereever else) the most harm (rather than generalize)
It would also help if you could provide me with some names of the people who you think have had the most positive impact on humanity.
Whatever
Cory, you realize that the only reason the Millipede bothers to have an opinion at all is to have something to argue about, right?Cory Patrick wrote:I'd like to debate with you.

So wrong, d. I'm here to save you guys from your own mindless nihilism and death orientation, And to counter your infection you're spreading with a pro human, pro life viewpoint.

I give people my attention if I feel they are really sincere and genuine about what they believe in.Dave: Cory, you realize that the only reason the Millipede bothers to have an opinion at all is to have something to argue about, right?
In my experience, people who are really genuine and passionate are always very eager to share the names of people who influenced them and also the names of people who they think are bad.
I wanted to give Mill one last chance by inviting him to share his influences, his idols and his enemys.
I wanted to see if Mill could go beyond mere derogative labeling....
Ok, we get that part Mill. Are you going to share with us your influences? Most of us on this forum have been influences by a variety of individuals who have had an impact on humanity at large. Who do you think is overated? under-rated? Extraordinary? Despicable?

Ok, well then please give us some sincere explainations, rather than mere opinions.

Yes. Well. I'm a stunningly original thinker.

Isn't this sort of gossip beneath you? Anyway. I've been very clear; I think those of you who's rationality ends in buddhism are pretty stupid.

So what is it you want me to explain?Cory Patrick wrote:Do you realize what a petulant 35 year old brat you are?Mill: Cory, do you realize what a whiny little bitch you are?
Hopefully your mom refuses to pay for another month of your internet connection, 'cause your really starting to drag this forum down.
You're just mad because I make you look foolish on a tri-daily basis. Now quit befouling my thread with your tantrums.

Guilt Propaganda is propaganda designed to make people feel guilty. I shall not give examples from real life, unless you start denying it exists. Do you deny there are any memes in our culture designed to make people feel guilty?Cory Patrick wrote:Mill: So what is it you want me to explain?
Explain this:
Explain what guilt propaganda is. And give examples from real life. Include it's origins.The nihilism of modernity is just a manifestation of Western guilt propaganda.

Nihilism is the desired effect. The dissemination of guilt propaganda is the cause.Cory Patrick wrote:before we get too caried away, answer me this:Mill: Do you deny there are any memes in our culture designed to make people feel guilty?
Are you suggesting that 'Western guilt propaganda' is the disease, and that nihilism is merely a symptom?

Im not advocating removing anything. I'm simply advocating making people aware that guilt is being foisted upon them. You might say I want to break the spell.Cory Patrick wrote:So, are you advocating that in order to beat nihilism, we must remove the thing that is causing people to desire nihilism?Mill: Nihilism is the desired effect. The dissemination of guilt propaganda is the cause.

I'm saying some guilt is warranted, but some guilt may be unwarranted. There is much guilt that is unwarranted.Cory Patrick wrote:Are you saying that people should have no reason to feel the emotion of guilt at all?
Or are you saying that guilt in its raw form is good and natural, however, by using propaganda you can employ ideas to make people feel guilty about things they shoudn't feel guilty about (and thus control them)?

Yes. You nailed it. See how easy thinking is when you remove your pompousity visor?Cory Patrick wrote:Let me get this straight,
You want to break the spell of nihilism by advocating awareness of how we tend to become unwarrantedly guilty and thus potentially nihilistic.
