Various philosophical ruminations and (an) aphorism coming from the archives.

-Humor with never be subsumed and accounted for under a totalizing philosophical system, since, like language, it is a parasite forced on humanity outside of themselves. All attempts to create a comprehensive theory of humor, laughter, and comedy will necessarily fail because humor exceeds the human capacity for thought and linguistic formulation.

-The opposite of Christianity is not an unqualified freedom but instead top-down enforced eugenics.

-Why engage in politics if you don’t have a transcendental justification for the inherent value of the human? If you can’t clearly articulate why humanity is has worth, is, at its essence, worth fighting for, then you have no reason to be in politics in any substantive way. Politics, fundamentally, is the transformation and constitution of a citizenry, a state, and/or a civil society, according to the Good. If you can’t articulate why the fundamental unit of the political—the individual HUMAN—matters, or if you can’t articulate what the Good is—you should not be anywhere near political office.
Most politicians are inarticulate and stupid. They’re mindless puppets being pulled by forces larger than themselves towards a goal they can’t see, and, as we’ve already established the inarticulacy that inheres in the essence of the majority of politicians, it redundantly follows they are unable to articulate this goal either. So what is this goal?

No. The moralization of politics is a misnomer. Politics is a branch of social science; it is the science of regulated social systems. To participate in the study of politics does not require a moralized motive. A social researcher may honly ave a curiousity for the infrastructure and operability of social systems, they may not necessarily desire a specific outcome for the future of humanity. Instead, they may only observe what happens and not allow their observations to be influenced by emotions or moralist ideals. You could even argue that "society" is a sort of macro-cosmic social experimentation that's yet to reach it's conclusion. The results are uncertain, and maybe the fate of humanity is unpredictable. But there isn't necessarily an ultimatum in politics. For all that common people know, politicians could be extraterrestial aliens in disguise, running a mass social experiments on humans for their own entertainment

The real question is, what do humans truly want? At the end of the day, everyone dies, and many people cope with the concept of an afterlife paradise to mitigate their fear of death. In reality, nothing is certain. If humanity became extinct today, what "worthy cause" would humans have served while they were still alive? There are bluepillers who seem to believe the human can accomplish something in this life that has eternally lasting merit, but this belief would be based on a framework of moral righteousness that they adopted in advance. Many humans cope by moralizing their supposed "purpose in life". They believe there is a "right way to live". They believe in this so-called "Good" as you've worded it - This presumably metaphysical substance that supposedly adds value and meaning to something that exists. Personally I think it's a coping mechanism to divert one's mind away from thought of the possibility their existence was a mere accident with no extra significance to it

Morality is relative to human idealism; without the concept of morality, it is difficult for the conscious to draw a non-nilhilist meaning out of what exists. Perhaps there is a supreme being who has some grand plan for humanity. But I'm not convinced that humans are something more than a short echo or a small flare in the abyss of the space-time continuum
