I think everything is special. Every organism, every element, every....thing.
I can agree to this but it is obvious that 'special' is being used in a different context here.
you've taken my statement and drew your own implications rather than mine. You do this later when you ask about free will.
What I should have said is "no status is special" or "no classification is special" or "even if you are under so n so classification it doesn't mean that you inherit its value". Fill in the blanks dude... you know what I am saying.
The actions of man are either eSPECIALly good or eSPECIALly bad, yet all remain special in their own framework. Anyone who doesn't believe their life has a purpose should probably just end their existence as they know it, you are not needed here- go elsewhere.
Yes
In another thread you speak of how there is no free will but yet now you want to discuss legitimacy.
Let me explain something that you may or may not understand. There are systems of classifications in which certain statements can be made that appears contradictory against other statements made in a different system of classification.
It is similar to explaining reality through the eyes of physics or through they eyes of philosophy.
These classifications are not mutually exclusive.
for instance you can say that you are an one as as an individual human being. But under a larger classification you are really one with all of humanity. Human beings share a collective existence. And in an even larger classification, human beings are one with animals and then organic life etc...
So yes, you may find me talking about the larger classification that man has no free will and in the next conversation you will see me talking about the need for man to do something about his case.
Both are contradictory if they exist in the same realm but they don't.
If you want to get nit-picky with it is it the larger picture that is absolutely true; that he has no free will.
But this is like coming at me asking me why im trying to get laid when I know it is just a trick nature plays on us for procreation... well yeah, but, in this world that I am operating from I want to read and write romantic poetry about the pussu.
If there is no free will, there is no legitimacy.
There totally is legitimacy its just not what people are flaunting or aiming to portray.
Are you going to come at me now for contradicting myself again?
Also, while I am against coattail riding from a similar perspective that you state, I believe my daughter said it best when she was 12. Why is copycatting an issue with some people if everyone does it.
Just as every single two notes have already been placed next to each other before any man ever played them, nothing man does is original for he is a mimic.
You see the context of this discussion involves mental midgets going back and forth about who is better than who because of something they had absolutely 0 influence over. Rather than speak on their own achievements, they'd rather speak on the achievements of people they have never even met and then come at everyone else aggressively like we are all lesser people. It is this behavior that warranted the 'classification level' of perspective necessary to for them to see themselves in a different light.
