for the Philosophers Stone? Think of what we could achieve, the progress to be made...If anything, I'd be a martyr for having to make such a tough decision.
>>42538086The problem is that no one is asking you to sacrifice a billion people. This kind of power fantasy is why you'll never complete the Great Work. That requires only one sacrifice, yourself.
>>42538086You don't even want to know what I did.Huehuehue
>>42538112True
>>42538086t. Griffith
Philosopher's stone has one inscription that someone like you would never understand anyway.
>>42538086Idk what the philosopher's stone is, but it sounds to me like an analogy for Pluto
>>42538086Are you sure the Philosopher's Stone is an object?Are you sure you need to do a sacrifice?Are you sure there are billions of people?Are you sure there is such a thing as "evil"?
>>42538198Basically a Silmaril.
I think there is a misunderstanding about the "philosophers stone" due to a bad translation and the original name actually meant "thinking stone", or rather "becoming a thinking being instead of a stone".
>>42538120You went online and bought a knockoff
>>42538086Only if you're willing to be one of those billions that are sacrificed so that I can have it, instead of you.If you can will that your principle be a universal law, and it does not then refute itself categorically, and you willingly accept all that it implies, then you are acting with a rational moral imperative and nobody can argue against it. But if your principle is that it "has to be me" and nobody else can be the one to have this stone you seek, then your principle cannot become a universally held principle, and thus it is self-refuting and categorically immoral.
>>42538086Well, I personally would sacrifice a billion people for my own personal happiness. Not to mention for a philosophers stone. So I'd say go ahead.
>>42538389Then you are categorically evil, and encouraging the OP to be evil.
>>42538086the stone wouldn't accept you because you fail to understand the gravity of 1 billion lives its just a number to you.
>>42538369A smooth silver tongued talker, but this is anything but morals and dogma. With the Philosopher's Stone in my grasp and on my crown, the sky would fall back, from the North, the South, the East, and even West. The trumpets would be called after each one. The Apocalypse averted.No longer would we be beholden to the Septenary. A new age arises. One where the black cube is bested - no longer needed. Solomon's Temple opens for all. Pillars are erected to the heavens, always in pairs. The consciousness of All has awoken to the Sun, Jacob's ladder is ascended. The tower of Babylon is completed. Humans realize their fullest potential and become one. No longer bound by this material Saturnian slum.The flame of Rome Everlasting is lit, and civilization is born anew with a never quenching thirst of progress, enlightenment and peace. So much so that the heavenly polar Other is now enriched by us instead of the other way around.Don't you see. I'm the only one who understands.
>>42538086>"hai gaise!!! is it ebil to kill billionz for le greater good???">"think of all tha progress I- I MEAN WE- could make!!!!"kys, pig
>>42538610That's why you're called the profane. It's either the easy way, or the hard way.
>>42538630whats the hard way?

>>42538499I see it. Thank you.OP I am asking you to do what must be done.
>>42538644In order to reach apotheosis one must go through nigredo first.
>>42538086They were just going to die anyway However, there's nothing to the stone other than an ordinary stone There is nothing that you can do with it that you cannot do without it Carry on with your antics however you will...The universe and its occupants are watching
>>42538086I'd sacrifice a billion people simply for the sake of having less people to deal with in the world.
>>42538692oof, got a long way to go then, champIve been there before
>>42538369How can you have a universal when exceptions must occur? Imagine I desire to create the object for a greater good compared to the sacrifice, yet I have a unique characteristic that always lands me on the side of sacrifice beneficiary and never sacrificed? It would change the balance none except that I, by necessity, am omitted. Now what is my judgment worth? Is it enough to be willing, even if unable? Is that all Kant was getting at?
