“It is infinity that is going in both directions. Infinitely large. And infinitely small. Where are you in that infinity? None of this makes sense and it should make you lose your mind. Yet, it does not. You function. How on earth?!”
I want to see you so badly.
I try to occupy my mind with everything.
Yet,
I cannot escape.
The image of your face sucking my cock,
and the image of you moaning while desperately
trying to hold on to my hands for comfort,
while I roughly fuck you from behind,
and your perfect fucking ass,
and your perfect fucking body,
they all speak to my dick so powerfully,
that African children with no access to water
can go fuck themselves.
Also, the memories of holding you in my arms,
while we watch the rain outside...
day after we met,
on Friday the 13th...
Of all the days...
Fuck you.
You stupid power-hungry sexy fucking whore.
Fuck your art,
and fuck your ambitions.
You only belong on my dick.
You are only good for that.
“The internal, and the external, are one and the same. Thoughts, fantasies, dreams, feelings, sunset and frogs - they are fundamentally identical. They are perceived, differently from each other (sunset is nicer than a heartbreak), by you. But what exactly are you? Just the observer? Or can you influence it all? Or just some? Or are you completely hopeless of what comes to you to perceive? Can you cut ties with it all (and if you do, will you become of what you actually are)?”
What is objectivity?
Can objective moral claims be made?
"There is a tree!" - I say.
"I agree, there is!" - you respond.
We agree that it is objectively true and empirically verifiable (you can call your friend and tell them there is a tree, and then they can come and check it out for themselves). Can the same be done for morality?
Lets assume there is a button. If you press this button, there will be no rape committed today (without any consequences, just no rape). Would you press this button?
Could people who do not press this button be categorized as evil? Can't we say they are objectively wrong?
"There are sadists, psychopaths who would not press this button! Ha! I win!" - you say.
There are some people who would not see the tree. The blind, or the psychotic who are hallucinating and so on. We would say they are lacking something. Can't we say the same for the ones who would not press the button?
Moral claims are just expressions of emotions, an emotivist would say. But does it mean objectivity cannot be reached? What is the difference between seeing a tree and strongly feeling something is right or wrong? Aren't both of these things just perceived by us? Don't they just appear in our consciousness? Are sight and other senses more real than feelings? How are senses different than feelings, thoughts, dreams, fantasies? Does objectivity exist at all? Or is everything objective?
