Artists don't think that way either, because what's beautiful is personal to everyone, what's leftto aim for. No standards or targets that I don'tthink a lot of people have struggled with.
One response I've heard is that there can't be noabsolute, so there must be one. That's a crazyargument. Artists need absolute, so one mustexist.
That's saying humans can be shaped really to fitwhat's convenient from total nonsense. So while it's very good music and bad music, there's noabsolute.
Commerce aside, that's obvious. Think about food.There's no objectively best food, but humans areweird to like sweet things, salt, fat, umami.
We can't eat rotting stuff. There are sharedtendencies. That's the same. Southern carrotscombination is just very good too.
Human brains. Tendencies exist. Brains are complexenough that we'll find something more impressive.We are told famous artists made it that shapedperception too, so good and bad can exist withoutany absolute standard or target.
But as I've been saying, calling something good orbad, it's self-judgment. It's human brain judging.Think human brains made just games? Really? That'sit. You can't say everything got equal value.
Everything's the same. Humans are creating distinctions in heads. That's all. In reality,everything's identical, but humans understandthings by separating them. Japanese word for wakaru comes from wakeru.
We create different compare and interpret thatvalue is judgment. Everything's the same, but thatdoesn't mean everything got equal value. Sayingeverything got equal value is just kinda nihilistposturing good looking down on everything,refusing to judge and calling that judgment. That's what it is.
Now, here's the real topic. Most religions definegod as something all-knowing, all-powerful,complete, godless completeness.
But this theorem apparently don't prove god doesn't exist. Reason? Maths, the human-made system.Put simply, maths made by human's god. They say it's outside that system, so god might still exist.
Doesn't that strike you as wild? Everyone's outhere seeking god, but god is supposed to besomething human mind can't grasp. I'll get in adetail, but this is remarkable position.
You're seeking god while saying god is beyond anymeaning system of human mind, which does not sayit is. Still, theorem serves as material forquestioning completeness, omniscience, and absoluteness, though
That seems like an understatement to me. So, whatwe're left with is god is something fundamentallyunknown outside human's meaning system. Humans can't understand it. They give up.
They give up. I'd like to believe that, but there's zero basis for saying it exists. Excuses. Mathssays there's no absolute within its own system,but god's somewhere else. It's kind of argument-grade schoolroom makes it honestly a bit of ashock that most people aren't there.
Some of the definitions back there's arguing aboutwhether it exists even mean anything. That's basicphilosophical problem. God isn't clearly defined,then god exists and god doesn't exist.
Both pointing at something unclear. There's allkind of definition. God is personal being whocreated universe. Some picture old man. Someimagine woman. God is natural law itself. God issymbol of life. God is ultimate truth. God issomething humans can't understand.
Some say founders just transmitter, not goditself, fine, but what if transmitter imperfect truth gets understand too.
Talk about something beyond mass meaning system.You need to be something beyond human. Hyper supermega entity, but god's existence is supposed todepend on founders' perfection, just limitedtransmission capacity if that's case.
But god is something you never fully know. You'llspend life searching without ever arriving you,but religion isn't about searching for god, it'sabout believing in god.
Believers end up with eternal question mark, worshipping question mark, similar stretch, point isgod is defined by definition alone and can neverbe understand than defining.
It is pointless you humanity's been trying todefine god for tens of thousands of years acrossevery country era, what happens exactly thisdifferent definition emerge the conflict.
People argue over which religion god is real.Meanwhile no one actually knows what they'retalking about.
And if believers only access to god through doctrines they can't fully trust them, whether godexists or not makes no practical differencebecause doctrines can't be trusted and founderseffectively got believers so without trust worthydoctrines got.
Believers are not exist even for believers I gotthis lone being inside religion. Even if foundersjust transmitter, whose transmitter isn'treliable, source undermined, it takes somegenuinely beyond human to talk about somethingoutside all human meaning system.
God's existence doesn't depend on founders buttransmission limited, then god is somethingbelievers never understand and never reach you getthere, all told to believe in it, so what's answergod doesn't exist, that's exactly why it works,people aren't saved cause god exists they're savedcause believing save them.
Regardless of whether god exists, when humans seeksomething there's image in mind, shape bargain youcan't, seek something you got no image of, whatpeople are seeking isn't transcendent beingitself, it's image of that being.
They contracted that criticism exists andphilosophy, religious thinkers respond, we can'tfully understand it but we can't know itparticularly but which part, partial understandingwhen religious are two different,
our religion got it's partially right but there'sdoesn't a religion saying that, no I'm actuallygot it, it's just illusion, I'm not saying thatmakes religion meaningless, I'm describing it'shonestly illusion saves, serves purpose,
disasters are now fears, human create gods toexplain and cope, it's projection of fear anddesire, self-image projection, each present idealbecomes god, that's why there's so many gods, kinder, absolute god we tend to talk about,
complete eternal one that's never gonna exist butdon't think brains are weird to seek.
What Buddha said to me is Daniel of God, Shogyo Mujo, all state change that around doesn't fullynegate god, where it raised serious question buteternal and changing being, Shobho Muga,everything exists through relationship andcondition, that gets crueler,
everything exists relationally, nothing isabsolute, no fixed essence, nothing independent,some argue that doesn't completely eliminatepossibility or truth but if everythingrelationship therefore relative, there's no truth,
that's conclusion followed, even that truth impermanence, itself impermanence, what we usually meanby truth that survive, stuff that confuse peopleabout consciousness meaning existence,
it's usually unnecessary, complicated reasoningcovering up something simple what's absolute bydefinition, affected by anything but most people'simage of goddess, something that says same world,everything changed but scanned later,
it's something different that's not god by mostdefinition, humans are constantly changing too, wecall it may for convenience, technically scannedlater, it's something else, entirely fine, forpractical purpose may works but for god, god issupposed to be absolute reality,
Shobho Muga says no absolute reality exists, that's direct contradiction, some religion talk aboutsoul is human essence, Buddha denied, god isabsolute reality, Buddhism denied, that's entirelycontradiction avoidable,
but here's where it gets slippery, god'sdefinition varies so much that someone will saythis argument doesn't apply but most people agree,goddess all-knowing, all-powerful, completeabsolute,
someone then said that definition doesn't counteither, what's even this concept, humanity's beenusing god for tens of thousands of years to savepeople across every culture and era, of course it's got fractured in a thousand of definition,
that's what happened when you built nothingdifferent, language shaped it differently, that'sfine, god is thing that saves you, who it worksis, works exists, debates, secondary, what we gotis complete entity that brain created cause it'sweird that way,
