synth - esis, the belief systems go in the order that I gave them so for example four equals late atheism otherwise known as nihilism... described as follows:
"Material casuality is everything. Science can probably explain away everything. There is nothing which is not caused by something else.
But this is no-explanation.
The world now seems accidental, arbitrary, and without meaning. We can know How everything but there is reason Why. The universe has become predictable but meaningless. That is the burden of intelligence, of being able to see through it all. There is obviously no spirit or personal survival after death. Hence there is
no reason to do anything, or for that matter, restrain from doing anything. Even this [sic] to deceive ourselves for their is no such thing as free will. One cannot help but get involved in doing something becase happens to be. All motivation is just an attept to put the body-brain in a lower energy, less tense state, even if by a roundabout route.
There are no absolutes in terms of importance, goodness, meaning or truth that do not arise from the accidental structure of the body brain [sic] and its surroundings.
We are just living out the chaotically complex forces which spawned us and which one day reduce us to nothingness again.
Everything we will ever do is just a result of how we are made and what happens to us. For all our pretense of free will, we are an accident running a fixed but unknown course."
cheerful philosophy, eh? [grin] |
