Subject: Filosofiaa (englanniksi valitan...)

Tämä tuli kirjoitettua jokin aika sitten yhdelle englanninkieliselle foorumille filosofisena näkemyksenäni. Copy - pastean sen huvikseni tänne jos jotakuta huvittaa kommentoida jotenkin. Anteeksi kun kirjoittelen nyt niin kauheasti tänne viestejä itsekseni - yritän vaan saada foorumin käyntiin - muutan tapani myöhemmin jos näyttää siltä että vain itsekseni höpisen:) Pahoittelen myös englanninkieltä niiltä jota eivät siitä pidä tai jos tämä tuntuu liian vakavalta aiheelta tänne. Ajattelin vain että tää voisi olla foorumi jossa saa olla niin vakavaa, vitsailuja, syvällistä keskustelua, small talkia yms. mitä tahansa. Ja kukin voi vastata niihin säikeisiin jotka itseä kiinnostaa.

My point of view

1. Questions like ”what has happened before universium was created” ”what is outside the universium” are in fact meaningless questions that our mind has created. There is no ”answer” to this kind of questions in that sense that we see the answer.

2. Reason of these nonsensical questions is our language.

3. We learn to think when we learn to speak and so language is separately part of our thinking. Grammar of language is in fact mode of our thinking. Unverbal thinking is impossible. Our thinking is always linked in language
and language confusions lead to thought confusion.

4. Different language is one reason that explains differences in national temperaments. Your first language has strongest effect to your thinking.

5. Universium is finite and there is nothing beyond it.

6. Size of universium changes in every moment.

7. Humans have only one life and when they are die they are gone for ever. There is no immortal soul. There might be immortal life force but that is not linked to individual spirit or memory.

8. Basis of all religions is self-deception: humans want to deny their vulnerability and see themselves immortal. Picture of allmighty God - in many religions - can be psychologically traced to early childhood where child sees parents (first mother, later father) to be allmighty.

9. Personal God doesn`t exist

10. God doesn`t exist in any sense - unless we mean with ”God” simply life force and in that case we all are part of the God.

11. Materia and spirit are two opposite poles that need each others in order to exist. Philosophically emergent materialism is one truth and trancendental idealism the other.

12. That means existence of perceiving creations (animals, humans) is not coincidence but inevitable.

13. There is probably a lot life there in other planets but its very likely so different from ours that we don`t perceive it as life.

14. Our psyche contains conscious and dynamic unconscious.

15. Most of our psyche is unconscious and thats why we often have no touch to real reasons of our actions .

16. Unconscious reasoning has as well an important part in our communication with other people. Most of our communication is unverbal and even verbal communication has often important meanings that we are not consciously aware.

17. Humans understand each others in fact better than they think they understand and communication contains a lot meanings, clues, power relations, requirements that we don`t consciously realize.

18. People have need to see themselves as coherent when in fact we have a lot contradictory impulses in ourselves, most of these are unconscious. Our personality is more complicated than we think it to be.

19. Inevitable for existence and happiness is to see oneself and ones own actions as unselfish, good, wise etc. This anyway requires self-deception. Usually happiest individuals deceive themselves the most. So, self-deception is evolutionally inevitable quality.

20. We don`t decide our opinions looking of the facts and counting what is the best opinion but our opinions are based on our psychological needs and hopes. So, we first have an opinion and then we look arguments behind to it.

21. That means that even this POV tells more about needs of my own psyche and my needs than anything real :)

22. There is no purpose in life outside staying alive and remaining psychologically in painless situation (Freud called this pleasure principle)

23. Cause staying alive (reality principle) goes over pleasure principle there are a lot suffering in the world

24. Our greatest talents are often at the same time our greatest weakness. The more person has talents the more he has weaknesses. Thats why many great artists and scientists have been unstable or unhappy people.

25. Art and science and need to create art and science is requires sublimation. Scientific curiosity as well as creativity has its power in indissoluble libodo tension.

26. There is no destiny or fate in the world. We have a free will but most of us don`t know how to use our freedom.

27. According chaos theory very little thing can have unpredictable large effect to world. That means that we cannot ever count or determine what is situation of our existence or situation of the world tomorrow.

28. Nature is amoral but morality is one part of our social existence. Living in society requires ”accepting” social rules. In that sense good and evil do exist and are absolutic even those do not exist in nature.

29. Definition of evil: deed that is done in purpose to create suffering and destruction to other people and animals.

30. Good creates good and evil feeds evil. Happy, stable person is naturally ”good”. Evil is based on suffering. We can anyway decide ourselves do we let our suffering to lead evil deeds.

31. We are responsible of everything we do to ourselves and all other people in the world. Nothing limits this ultimate responsibility.
