It would be redundant to discuss the ToS in particular, no?
Please stick to general setian questions in the general setian forum.
(or contact the ToS directly)
*bangs her head against imaginary forum wall*
(just knows her point will be entirely lost....)
Are you affiliated with the Temple?
Did you not understand my posts in the other thread exchange we had?
Your answer is in the "What is Setianism?" Sticky, you shall do well in reading first before posting mate.
I'm sorry but that is not what you asked.
Copy-paste magic once again:
"Im curious if any affiliated members can elaborate on how the Temple views Ethics and their importance?"
If you would have asked what each affiliated person felt personally regarding ethics then it would have been different.
Semantics and internet, they never seem to get along, do they?
Regards,
Your kind troll.
To avoid any friction, let me address this question to the Setian. How does the independant Setian view the importance of Ethics from a philosophical stance? Does the Setian view Ethics as an important practice in order to transcend?
"To avoid any friction, let me address this question to the Setian. How does the Setian view the importance of Ethics from a philosophical stance? Does the Setian view Ethics as an important practice in order to transcend?"
Ok, you are right. I'm sorry.
"But what threw me off was that i addressed this post to affiliated temple members."
Oh wait.
"To avoid any friction, let me address this question to the Setian. How does the Setian view the importance of Ethics from a philosophical stance? Does the Setian view Ethics as an important practice in order to transcend?"
Again, uhm ok...
Hey Mr. Daelach, are you affiliated with the Temple?
"Granted i dont mind one bit if non affiliated comment, but if so please keep it on topic due to respect for the addressed party."
Oh ok. So no matter, right.
"But im looking for independant ethic importance."
Oh right, if you only have started there the first time...
Well, who am I to tell.
Regards.
Youd kind Troll.
Hey Mr. Daelach, are you affiliated with the Temple?
My answer: no. At least not beyond an utilitarian sense of ethics. If I keep cheating everyone, I will not find help when I need it simply because someone who cheats everybody will not have any friends in the long run. What goes around, comes around. In this regard, I strongly recommend taking a look at mathematical games theory, like the prisoner's dilemma etc.
The point is that I object ethics of conviction since I consider it as childish. It evolves from the false conclusion that "good" means must lead to a good end. Reality disproves this view; I recommend reading Macchiavelli.
Let me point out an interesting point here. Im sure you'll never see it seperate again.
When we think of Organized religion we think of " control". The church these days lack this control. Thanks to Macchiavelli seperating church from state. But did he?
I want you to walk into a church and look around. Then soon after walk into a court room. You will notice the set up is exactly the same in the hopes to impose control. Where there was a Priest, theres now a judge in robes. To his left theres not a decon but instead a clerk magistrate. Off to the right there no seating for the quire but rather a jury. They got rid of the organ and replaced it with a stenographer. Bench seating for the controled hasnt changed however. The sin has been replaced with law. Ect...ect...
My answerSo I avow consequentialism -
And another point, the LHP is precisely about overcoming the social norms and rules, so sticking to what people consider as "good" is anathema to real LHP. As long as one sticks to those norms, one will never come to include also the heterogeneous oart of his culture, thus never arriving at the stage of completeness.
Being a true LHP adept (means: not just playing around with some pseudo-dark gobbledeegook) has always involved doing also things society considers as taboos.
