@@crater3k socrates' philosophy centralizes around definitions and asking questions to get to those objective definitions, and the questions socrates liked to ask would show the fallacy in the logic (ex. euthypro). the question "why?" is the vehicle that gets you to those definitions. maybe I missed the joke lol but I felt compelled to respond
I'm taking an intro to philosophy and we're talking about a dude named Parminedes and his philosophy of apriori. "If you say "it is not" then you have proved that it is, for if nothing exists, it is not nothing, rather it is something "
My kid after I watched this clip... 5yo: Why were you watching that? Me: Because it's funny. 5yo: Did you know that show was funny? Me: Yes. 5yo: How? 😑
Louis CK and a Terminator: Louis C.K.: "Jesus! You were gonna' kill that guy!" Terminator: "Of course. I'm a Terminator" Louis C.K.: "Listen to me very carefully OK? You're not a Terminator anymore, alright? You got that?!" Terminator "Why?" Lois C.K.: "You just can't go around killing people!" Terminator: "Why?" Louis C.K.: "What do you mean, "why"? 'Cause you can't!" Terminator: "Why?" Louis C.K.: "'Because you just can't, OK? Trust me on this." Terminator: "Why?" Louis C.K.:"OH FUCK YOU! SHUT UP AND DO YOUR MISSION YOU LITTLE SHIT, GOD DAMN IT!" This is why Louis C.K. doesn't fuck with time machines. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xmCjhEa20lE.html )
i watched a louis c.k. video before this where he talked about evolution, so if we keep on asking why, it cannot be explained wich meens that there is a higher power.
No it doesn't. It means that we don't know enough to go further. We have more evidence that links us to a universal common ancestor than we do for some sky daddy. If you know enough about history, you can trace the invention of god. The proto indo European peoples known as the Yamnaya used a word for their sky father that you might recognize... Dyēus. It eventually transformed into deus, zeus and other versions of a sky father. Know thyself, and some history. Lol
Brother David Steindl-Rast is saying we have three existential questions: (watch?v=yglJ6Hkul90 from 18:30) Why, what and how. He's saying if you keep asking, "why" it will lead us to the depth of silence
