Nabokov is not Kafka

Kafka didn’t write lolita

You know what is great? This fruitless conversation is not determined to go on endlessly: you are free to disengage at anytime

Cool now love doesn’t exist because it can’t be defined outside of your presupposed deterministic world view.

Nihilism as I said.

If you cannot choose to care or not you are not really caring or not caring.

A puppet can act as if it cares but it’s a meaningless act.

A puppet forced to care by the laws of causality doesn’t really care. It’s not authentic because it’s forced.

Do you love me if i tell you with a gun to your head that you must love me? Of course not. Even if you swear YOU LOVE ME : if i forced you to say it : it is not authentic.

Puppets cannot care. That’s the point.

Their care, their meaning, is a fake if it’s pre-determined. It is not authentic. It doesn’t arise from choice only necessity if we are puppets.

A puppet who’s strings are being pulled cannot “make meaning”

Science is a method.

Capitalism is a system.

Any method used within a system is tinted by it.

Science is not a pre-requisite to capitalism.

All work is in the capitalist system right now science included, but that’s not a fault of science.

Science is as often stifled by capitalism as it is financed

I’d argue this is more the result of capitalism Not science

Capitalism is a kind of religion too

You’re free to have faith in your own lack of freedom sure, if that makes you feel better.

Ironic considering your determinist position.

You cannot prove that the elements follow necessarily.

They follow contingently.

That’s my point.

I don’t get what you are trying to prove

Yup it’s a thesis.

But you should ask your professor the difference between necessary and contingent facts.

Pull what of?

The unnecessary-ness of the universe means that all it’s elements are contingent :

Contingent is that which could’ve been something else ; that’s the beauty of it : it was unnecessary : not determined to be as such.

Your position is self-defeating.

All events are contingent.

Not necessary.

This is the shallows waters in which most people drown in determinism.

If you’re whole life philosophy can be simplified to “we are puppets is that so bad?”

I pity your view of the world. What a huge nihilist waste of time this universe is.

The holocaust? We are puppets, that’s not so bad.

A child tell it’s mother he lovers her. We are puppets, who cares?

This very argument we are having - why have it - shouldn’t we all kill ourselves and end it? we are puppets what’s so bad?

Basically you don’t have a philosophy of life. You have a non-philosophy of non-life.

They don’t seem that chill about it actually.

God driven determinism is the perfect recipe for justifying all kind of atrocities
