A comprehensive history of "analytic philosophy".

1. All philosophy has been analytic, from the beginning of philosophy (quite simply because that's what all philosophy, indeed all thought, consists of: analysis).

2. Nietzsche arrives on the scene. Anglo-Saxons do not understand his analysis, ergo it is not analysis. Also, he made fun of them repeatedly for not being able to understand him. This at least they understood.

3. Anglo-Saxons: "Screw the priggish continentals: We will make our OWN philosophy." (= "The continentals are mean to us, so we won't play with them anymore.")

4. Wittgenstein's On Certainty. Illegible rubbish, but it set the tone for all future "analytic philosophy".

5. No one pays attention to the Anglo-Saxons' illegible rubbish, while book sales and star status of the continentals (many of whom are charlatans indeed but at least not boring) are soaring.

6. Finally Rorty turns around and proclaims the end of "analytic philosophy". "I wish I'd read less of our autistic bullshit and more novels instead."

7. According to the Anglo-Saxons, then, novels are the culmination and ultimate expression of philosophy.

8. And that's where Anglo-Saxon "analytic philosophy" stands to this day. Nothing more than a gigantic reaction movement to Nietzsche calling them names and making fun of them.

This is for my STEM friends ITT.

seriously, i wonder what estonians think of people who speak the dialect we have here in haparanda

brool ajal tulite mul oli meelest läinud..
täna on ju see köölik nat kuninga öö
kus kuningas käib igal pool ja annab oma ordeni medaleid oki märke
kes on olnud aasta jooxul svenska kõige paremad inimesed oki loomad
ja siin see baarimees saabki just saab märgi selle eest et ta on myynud aasta jooxul aind yhte jooki
ja temale antakse orden myymise tõttu
on ka teisi nominente olnd?
yks mäger sai märgi .. kuninga kääst.. selle eest et ta oli terwe aasta läbi oma pesas..
pesa juurest yle meetri ta ei käinud eemal.. ta ei liikunud paigast yldse
oli oma kaitses oma kodu.. tema sai märgi puude eest..
ja meil on kool.. selline haridus asi et rootslane ei saa kõigist asjadest aru
ja ja talle keskkoolist jääb puudu
siis ta läheb õhtukeskkooli või õhtukooli
ja enamus kes ei saa ka õhtukeskkooliga hakkama nende jaox on õhtu õhtukool
ja siis selle aasta lõpetas õhtuõhtukooli kõige paremini Leena Vikskööm
ja temale anti wiite pärast.. anti yx väike orden..
see oli bro see oli bro.. kõik nutsid televiisori taga kui ta sai selle ordeni.. see oli nii wäike
aitähh meid wastu wõtmast.. meie aeg saab otsa..
ähä.. sa oled teretulnud oma kodumaal
takk.. eestimaale
tulen siis kui on svenssoniga asjad klaaritud
ähää..
ma tean et sul oli yx see eurovisiooni lugu kaa

To understand what the concept "personality" means consider that we're still concerned with Alcibiades' personality 2400 years after his death, on top of the 46 years of his life during which the Greeks, and many barbarians, were utterly fascinated by it. In contrast, the average reader of these words (who already doubtlessly stands very high, personality-wise, above the average person) cannot in all fairness be considered the least interesting while alive, never mind posthumously. If his own grandchildren end up remembering much of him — if he ends up having any, that is (which, given current social and demographic trends, is far from certain) — he will already be exceptional by average person standards. And now try to envisage the kind of person around you whose personality would be so powerful and unique that people would still have reason to be discussing it in 4400. That's the kind of personality that I am, and as far as I can see there is no one else alive today who can say this. Not even close. If any of y'all are still being discussed 100 years from now it will be grounds for believing in miracles. That's how hopeless y'all are.

im gonna build a great wall on the southern border of us

low energy thread

shut the fuck up you dumb cunt, i literally made it on Thursday, March 10, 2016, 9:14:34 PM

its gonna be huuuuuge, belive me

Its a sketch about estonian who was born in sweden and he talks with swedish accent and adds few swedish words here and there. Also its grammatically very poorly written so maybe thats why it reminds you finnish/swedish.

No he is actually Estonian born. He made up his background and talks with a fake accent to make cash off of the "le slavic" meme

The screen grabs are from his first ever videos that are deleted now. Pic related QQ qis him with his first car

big butte and titties

nobody builds walls better than me, im the best at building walls

How does the finnish dialect spoken up here in north sound to you.

When you tell subhumans how the universe works, the thought invariably arises in their tiny little brains that "this can't be all there is". Utterly outrageous, to want even "more" out of this world, to want another world even, when they haven't exerted themselves in the least to discover and experience everything about this world, and get anywhere near to exhausting its stupendous amount of possibilities. A complete ignorance of science, history and philosophy, on top of pitifully meagre life experiences, and they still ask for "more": but that's precisely why they are asking for it. The problem, however, is not with the world but with them, and they'd still be ignorant losers in a hundred other worlds if these existed. Or do you suppose that you and I will be equal, at last, in Paradise? But there's no universe in which such a thing would be the case. It's such an impossible state of things one can't even imagine it.
And, after all, how could there be anything "more" than everything? "The world is not enough" is just an artistic slogan. But did the artist who came up with it ever even bother with "the world" (i.e. with "everything", with philosophy). Did Bond? And we are back to consulting show business people on the subject of the constitution of the universe.

Sounds like normal finnish with a funny voice to me. Understand most of the words

what if i told you i can travel in time

Excellent. You said exactly what most finns say. It sounds funny. There are a lot of old finnic words that haven't been affected during the change in Finland with West,North,East and southern dialects. Also there are more swedified words included in it.
We use it rarely here but often during times finns come to buy snus and what not.

ive learned to percieve other dimesnions

But let's examine the concept of infinite divisibility that's giving us so much trouble, and apply to it the thought process I elaborated earlier, hailing it as "the ultimate method of arriving at solutions to the greatest problems in philosophy". So nothing, neither time nor space, is really infinitely divisible, but what would it mean for them to be so? I've already explained what it would mean: it would mean things wouldn't exist, and hence the universe wouldn't either. And since you love the universe, you love its lack of infinite divisibility, so you've no problem with it. But why do our brains nevertheless perceive this idea as a reasonable and even an attractive one? Why do we want things to be infinitely divisible? I think the videogame Metal Gear Rising could help some people understand this: hacking things to pieces is fun, and the more the pieces (and therefore the smaller that they are) the better. That is the message of that game (the mechanical message, regardless of what the narrative says, as I explained in the preface to Videogame Culture). Moreover, the reason this is fun, ultimately, is that taking things apart and reducing them to smaller and ever smaller constituent pieces allows us to gain better control over them, and nowhere is this more evident — and to a stunning effect — than in subatomic and nuclear physics. That's why nuclear fission reactions gave us the atom bomb, while nuclear fusion, which is a far more delicate process, requiring a far greater degree of control of the elementary particles involved, gave us the hydrogen bomb, which is 1000 times more powerful, and who knows what other bombs we'll be able to make one day by continuing to split things in ever smaller pieces. Controlled supernova explosions are not out of the realm of possibility for the far future, and we should all know by now how this shebang will end — the same way it began: with a Big Bang.

Controlled supernova explosions are not out of the realm of possibility for the far future, and we should all know by now how this shebang will end — the same way it began: with a Big Bang.

In short, we want to achieve greater and greater divisibility with our technology and techniques because the capacity for increased divisibility is virtually identical with increasing power: increasing control over things and their "destiny", whose role the controller comes to assume for them through his actions. Our concept of infinite divisibility then does not really have to be strictly mirrored in reality but is merely an expression of our greed and lust for power; the desire to not set ourselves some arbitrary limit on its expansion, but do our best and see how far we get. We will obviously never achieve this infinity any more than Achilles or the tortoise will, because this is precisely the definition of it: that which cannot be achieved — it would be oxymoronic to achieve the unachievable — but we want to aim as high as we can, and that's precisely what infinity means to us. In short, nothing is infinitely divisible because there exists no one in the universe with enough power to "infinitely" divide anything (it would have to be "infinite power", which, as we've seen, is again oxymoronic). And yes, the flux is indeed infinitely divisible, but that's only because the flux is yet another concept of ours (i.e. exists entirely within our brains, where lots of things can be regarded as "infinite" as long as we are greedy and lustful enough for them), created by a philosopher — Heraclitus of Ephesus — who was himself merely reframing an idea of his predecessor, Thales, and making it more abstract — i.e. more generally applicable (i.e. more philosophical) — the idea that "the world is made of water". Nietzsche: "Thus Thales saw the Unity of the 'Existent', and when he wanted to communicate this idea he talked of water."

And why were Thales and Heraclitus so concerned about what "the world", i.e. infinity, was made of? Because they were philosophers, and there is no more greedy and lustful creature in existence than them. Ordinary people are not even concerned with what their food is made of, let alone "the universe" lol.
