"To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life." Romans 2:7You're probably living with persistent apathy, a lack of motivation, and avoidance of suffering. Your problems have been answered, even in ancient times. Sloth is something that we face because of our technologies. Every time you interact with social media or video games with escapism for example, you are feeding your sloth. You notice it yourself, in how you work and progress through life.The solution is a role model and goals. Every great athlete, leader, worker, father, son, Saint, etc. had role models to inspire them in life, and it seems that today there are no role models. Napoleon admired Pasquale Paoli and Frederick the Great. Alexander the Great admired Achilles. Who are we if not our role models? And why not have the most perfect, moral, intelligent being ever as our role model, Jesus Christ himself? Seek refuge in the great to inspire your life, and never start a day without a goal."We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle
I like the Gospel of John

>jean-paul sartre was a french philosopher born in 1905 in paris, who became the defining figure of existentialism in the 20th century.>his core philosophical contribution is the inversion of the classical relationship between essence and existence. where traditional philosophy, and most common sense, assumes that things have a nature that precedes and determines what they do, sartre argues that for human beings existence precedes essence. you are not born with a fixed nature that unfolds over time. you exist first, and then you create what you are through your choices. there is no human nature to fall back on, no god who designed you for a purpose, no predetermined role you were meant to fill. you are radically and inescapably free, which sounds liberating but is actually terrifying, because it means you are also radically and inescapably responsible for everything you are and do.>"bad faith" is his term for the various strategies people use to escape that responsibility. you can pretend you had no choice, that circumstances forced your hand, that your nature determined your behavior, that society made you this way. all of these are bad faith because they involve lying to yourself about the freedom you actually have. the waiter who performs being a waiter so completely that he seems to have no existence outside the role is sartre's famous example, someone who has fled the anxiety of freedom into the comfort of a fixed identity.(cont.)
are all philosophers the same edgy teen?
>>85142767>there is no human nature to fall back on, no god who designed you for a purpose, no predetermined role you were meant to fill. you are radically and inescapably freeThat's not really true. This just sounds like a naive Nietzschean dream rather than how humans actually work. Human beings aren't a blank slate. It's been proven that many aspects of personality and thought processes are largely determined by your genetics and how you were treated as a baby. Sure you're responsible for your own actions, but things were decided for you before you could consciously make decisions yourself. These things influence your decision making later in life and bad decisions compound to a point that you can't escape the pit you and others have dug for yourself.
>>85142981>This just sounds like a naive Nietzschean dream rather than how humans actually work.Welcome to academic philosophy
>>85142928don't think either you or sartre are 100% right. heritability estimates for most psychological traits do cluster in the 40-60% range, which is significant but also means environment and gene-environment interaction are accounting for roughly half the variance. more importantly, heritability is a population-level statistic that tells you how much of the variation between people in a specific environment is explained by genetic differences, but doesn't tell you how much of any individual's traits are determined by genes versus experience. those are different questions and the first one gets routinely misread as answering the second.genes also express differently in different environments, which means the same genetic profile produces meaningfully different outcomes depending on developmental context. epigenetics shows that environmental factors can alter gene expression in ways that are sometimes heritable. so even the genes aren't just genes in the simple deterministic sense you're implying.sartre was specifically responding to aristotelian essentialism and thomistic theology, so the dichotomy does have a specific historical target rather than being a universal claim about all possible ontologies. you can reasonably argue he overcorrected toward radical freedom in ways that underweight biological constraint. but "it's a false dichotomy" requires a third option, and "you're almost entirely determined by genetics" just reasserts the essence side of the dichotomy rather arguing against it.
>>85142790sartre actually anticipated this objection. he didn't deny that humans have a "facticity," his term for the fixed conditions of existence: the body, its needs, its mortality, the situation you were born into. hunger, aging, death. and he never claimed otherwise. what he argued is that facticity alone doesn't determine meaning or response. two people facing the same hunger, the same mortal body, the same material constraints, can relate to those facts in radically different ways, and that relationship, the how of existing within constraints, is where freedom lives in sartre. freedom isn't the absence of constraint, it's what you do within and toward constraint.even a prisoner is free in the sense that matters, not to leave the cell, but to relate to imprisonment in different ways. to resist it, accept it, be destroyed by it, find meaning within it. the cell is real. the facticity is real. but it doesn't determine the for-itself, his term for conscious human existence, because consciousness is always already beyond its situation by virtue of being able to negate it, imagine alternatives, project toward possibilities.that said, he probably does overcorrect toward radical freedom in ways that underweight how much biological and psychological constraint shapes, not just our situation, but our capacity to reflect on it. the embodied and embedded nature of consciousness is something later phenomenologists like merleau-ponty pushed back on. he argued that sartre's account is too disembodied and that the lived body shapes perception and possibility in ways that can't be cleanly separated from the freedom he's describing. i think that there is at least some truth in what sartre is talking about, even if he tends to overstate it.
Why are you so uncharismastic, fembot?
>>85143026>What's funny is that most of these girls are adding ME after I post my contact, but they put no effort into talking about themselves or getting to know methey just the bod and dick reveal then will send their address lel

We can be very charismaticIf most of the responses you're getting are like the picrel in op, she's probably either mad at you or disinterested

>>85143354I am charismatic most of the time if I'm talking to someone I'm interested inI put lots of effort into the conversation
What's the problem people have with rape? Like yeah I get it rape is usually wrong but people act like rape is never justified and it's the worst fucking thing you can do. Like I guess most rape is wrong, but only in the sense that most shoplifting that teenagers do is wrong, ie it's bad but it's not that wrong and you're not a bad person if you did it.Rape can be ethical and sometimes even necessary.
>>85141448>it's never pleasant.Try finding better rapists
>>85141424Trivial, when we are the last male and female human on the planet.
>>85141582If I experienced no pain or discomfort I would consider it moderately rude. Anal rape is only a bad thing primarily because it's extremely painful.
>>85142791Any agent or prosecutor would agree that I was in the right.
>>85142850this is incorrectlots of people have been raped and not traumatized by it but have been talked into being traumatized.what is associated with rape is the violence of being beaten or threatened with death. not the rape itself.if the rape itself was so traumatizing women wouldnt have a higher rate of orgasm through rape than through sex with a man they love.rape is actually hot to women. the violence associated with causing it is the problem.

Is it really true that all women are fundamentally incapable of actually loving a man? Can't there be one exception? I don't like thinking that there's no possible hope. Couldn't there be, like, one exceptionally oddball woman who is actually capable of experiencing love for her husband?Like, give me hopefuel. Tell me AWALT isn't physical law. Just let there be one woman out of billions I can pin my hopes onto. I just need to know it's theoretically possible.
>>85142895The man takes far more risk than the women does in this situation. It doesn't seem you've thought too hard about this but if women had as strong conviction as men do when they seriously love someone and honor their vows, there would be a lot less strife and heartbreak. I believe men to be the true romantics, the feminine nature is far too volatile and impressionable to engage in true love. For what it's worth this shouldn't be upsetting because it is just the truth. Keep it in mind and be self aware in your relationship and you might be able to spot problems before they arise. Most women can't or don't want to be proactive in that way though.
I love my boyfriend very much, he's the only one for me
>>85142629I don't define love as some metaphysical, permanent attribute of your soul that transcends time like gravity. Love develops from experiences interacting with your body chemistry and dies as your body dies.
>>85142221no they told us women can see the beauty of peoples souls with the power of mother nature!
>>85143194Love comes from God. Your definition is false.
