He's correct. Civilization is ultimately a farce.
>believing anything from (((the englightenment)))
>>523890162RousseauIs socorrect
>>523890162So what we were better off as cave men?Civilization is natural to humans If we destroyed it We eventually would build it again
>>523891882>Civilization is natural to humansThe advent of agriculture and the separation from the natural order were self-perpetuated shackles or parasitic subversion in my estimation.
>>523890162Not really. Huxley wrote about a government-issued drug called "soma" in Brave New World. It causes users to feel contentment and peace. If I could invent anything, it'd be that. The ills of society don't matter if people don't feel like they're suffering, imo.
>>523891882He didn't say that, he's just pointing out the truth. You should probably read his full letter/dissertation, not just an out-of-context quote. Journalists and "historians" and other assorted liars and trash love to peruse the writings of olden time people and find quotes they can take in ambiguity and use to push a modern political idea.Happens ALL THE TIME. When you see a small quote from a historical figure, always assume this rule.
>>523890162although his pessimism is appreciated, rousseau may have been a bit naive.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bPcgoaZjsu8
>>523890162damn that nigga is based is he running in 2028?
>>523890162Sure. Let's all go back to being spear chucking niggers in loincloths. For all the negative externalities of civilization, it's our one chance of expanding beyond this one planet and avoiding extinction like 99 percent of everything else. You either have the Will Towards the Infinite or you ain't white. Birds build nests, beavers build dams, we build civilizations. It's just what we do.
>>523890162Yup.Push the boulder.or live in huts and fester and starve like the african niggers.
>>523890162Typical mutt fallacy
>>523890162He was thoroughly wrong about everything. Just like today's liberal do-gooders.
>>523890162Imagine think liberals have any answers.
>>523892052true
>>523892046that's a philosophical problem itself. Is living a lie OK? Lots of people would say no
>>523892046Soma exists in this world, it makes life very pleasant
>>523891781It was a mixed bag. Rousseau were one of the better aspects of it albeit not without fault himself.The quote in the OP is brilliant and correct though.
>>523890162this man fucked and /pol/ seethes
>>523890162https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kbkysPTnHcSocial media has primed an environment where this type of degeneracy is not only accepted, it thrives. Social media desensitizes and radicalizes even moderates into believing heinous and abhorrent behavior is acceptable under the correct context. Spend just 5 minutes on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, you will find hordes of these deranged people. They exist among us. The FBI knows about them but never acts until it is far too late. Western society is on a one-way fast track to collapse as long as social media continues to destroy minds and decay the culture.
Grok, did Rousseau state that the best marker by which to judge the leaders of a society is to see what are the demographic trends of the people they rule over?>Yes, you are essentially correct—Rousseau does explicitly tie the quality and legitimacy of a government to the demographic health (especially population growth or stability) of the people it governs.>The key passage comes from Book III, Chapter 9 of The Social Contract (1762), in the section titled “Signs of a Good Government”:>“When one inquires what is precisely the greatest good of all, which ought to be the end of every system of legislation, one will find that it reduces itself to these two principal objects, liberty and equality…>But there is another, no less important, which is to see if the population increases or decreases.>Inquire into the state of the population; if it is decreasing, however flourishing the State may appear, the government is bad.>The government under which, without extraordinary means, without naturalizations, without colonies, the citizens multiply and increase the most, is infallibly the best government. That under which a people diminishes and wastes away is the worst.>Calculators, it is now for you to count, to measure, to compare.”Rousseau was a chud shitlord. It's odd that he is oft thought of as a leftist.
One of Rousseau's most oft-repeated gripes about civilisation is that it turns men feminine and women masculine.A very /pol/ or Varg-esque critique.
>>523892507Why the fuck would you want to expand beyond this planet?Also, humanity is dumb enough to wipe itself out, then so be it. Isn't that just the evolutionary process you worship?
>>523890162>destroy your own nation from within!!!so subtle.
>>523890162man what an amazing quote I wonder if the average person was actually more intelligent back then
