The Problem of Representation is the Dissolution of Identities. What is the Process by which things come to be (Evolution/ Assembly Theory)
AI: The Process of Dissolving Monolithic CULTURAL Identities
Every curated Individual Identity... a Museum so dedicated. An Assemblage of Signifiers pointing to the Identity of a single 'authentic' individual advertising a profilicity of relationships/ roles for 'others'.

LMAO!
Fine if ego defined identity is your thing. I work to silence the phenomon that is (really) the non existent ego.
Have fun ego(ing).
Transforming yourself into an object, not a subject. An object to be used and manipulated by others. A white wall of signifiers without any black holes of subjectivity and meaning. Congrats!
You are the one identifying with your ego and your sense of an unchanging concrete self. I do not. Therefore, now, for me the sky is the limit. Because of emptiness everything is possible.
Enjoy your ego and concrete "unchanging reality". You see, for me the me of yesterday is dead and the me of tomorrow (if there is one) is not yet here.
Have a good day.
Like the World, my self changes every day. The emptyness of nihilism is repugnant to me.
If you're implying Buddhism or emptiness as viewed and understoid by Buddhist is nihilism you're only showing your ignorance of the subject. Which is fine by me. Whatever floats your boat.
BTW, nihilism is repugnant to me also. See, we have something in common.
A retreat into absolute Spirituality/ Idealism results in verba non acta. The exact opposite of my motto.
...a Buddhist monk, praying in a temple atop some remote mountain. It has a great view, but it avoids the World as it is.
aka - Huxley's "Island". The resource exploiters will soon be coming for you, Islander. On the flip side, the mynah "mocking jays" will still be around...
LMAO once again over your reifird ignorance. The result ot your rughwing facust conditioning.
My actions are felt in the world among those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
You should sell to tune into positive vibrational frequencies rather than the negative. But since you actually do have free will in that choice do whatever floats your MAGA boat.
Again... LMAO at your ridiculous comment.
LMAO! Positivity and resulting "sameness' is the disease, not the cure
Naw, just positive ethical standards recognizing that happiness and peace for everyone as well as TRUE equal opportunity for EVERYONE based on capability and initiative is all smart folks want. As well as universal standard health care for all and housing affordability for middle America. And, support for the truly disadvantaged or disabled.
Buddhism in its truest sense is s unique blend of democratic socialism, communal attitude, and libertarianism IMV. But I'd never expect you to get that. Only a deep dive and consistent practice of the technologies got me to that understanding.
You obviously don't understand the fundamental properties associated with "generation from opposites" (Yin-Yang) that can locally delay and sometimes locally reverse the inevitable entropy that affects all systems and life.
...and those require not only spiritual, but also material commitment and intent.
...and that sometimes involves embracing, not "reducing" material pain and spiritual suffering. I prefer to keep all tools in my "generation from opposites" toolbox.
Meden agan!
The problem with "ethics" (but not morals) is that they are a priori, and therefore cannot anticipate all future circumstances. People can alter their morals to meet circumstances. Ethics are often simplistic, which render them inflexible. Could yours survive a "Life of Pi" situation? I much doubt it.
Nothing can anticipate ALL future occurrences. There is always a degree of uncertainty. Due to the constantly changing nature of phenomena.
The problem with morals is their subjective nature. As witnessed by the thousands of "religions" that subscribed to their version of "morals."
Ethics, properly grounded in a humanistic outlook, are the better guides to a beautiful satisfying life for all.
Aesop preached morals (lessons from experiences learned by animals, not men). Religions preached religions (moral theology). And judging by the number of "sinners" practicing religions, they're moral theologies aren't very effective in grafting their contained group ethics on to the moral codes of individuals. The "habits" learned are often discarded when advantageous opportunities arise.
"Virtue is a habit, not a faculty or passion". ' George Boole
...else power couldn't corrupt. Or absolute power, absolutely.
...and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the power, and the glory forever.
Vanitas Vanitatum, et Omnia Vanitas!
Vanitas - aka "faciality".
But then again, you have no Ego. @@
ps - When Pi was in the Lifeboat, the animals emerged.
I was a sailor, and I had a plan. I was a USCG certified Lifeboatman. But my plan was to never get into the lifeboat. it was to deploy an inflatable life raft, climb in, and beat anyone over the head who tried to get in it with me.
Situational ethics serve me just fine. :)
I'll make up stories about all the sharks present in the waters that day after the rescue.
...Richard Parker running back into the jungle.
Feel better?
To express intellectual honesty? Absolutely.
LMAO!
Laugh while you can Monkey Boy! :)
Sure will Baboon Boy!
