Sufficiently advanced acedia could, perhaps, make you free of hypocrisy. Doesn’t sound like any way to live to me.
Discussion
I don't think anyone who knows me would consider me apathetic. Have you read my posts? 🤣
Here and there. You appear to have group identity(ies) like everyone else. “Group identity is dumb and I avoid it by not caring” is acedia, though.
What are my group identities?
I don’t generally like to call out specific group identity when people don’t say “I am X” because it’s trivial to just say “I’m not that and you’re wrong”. I prefer to deal with ideas. I’ll do so for the sake of this conversation. Liberal (in the political philosophy sense of the word), bitcoiner, enlightened centrist. I’m sure that, as a father (I think that’s true?), you have more private group identities as well, but I won’t speculate on those.
Dude, admittedly I had to google acedia to know what it is, but you’re just being an arrogant asshole who is bullying an intelligent guy who puts his shit out here for analysis. I’m not a fan. Get real.
How so?
Thank you for asking. I think this mono-polarized presentation of our person is not natural from an evolved community standpoint. When Brock says he avoids hypocrisy by not caring I thing that is truth, but an unfortunate truth. I thing that by accommodating the strong beliefs of others for the sake of peace we are forced to evaluate our own convictions, whether we express them to the dissenting person or not. With social media, I cannot apparently hold or express conflicting views without my digital legacy outing me as a apparent hypocrite, this is counter to the natural state of a human being existing in a community, where opposing views can be held, withheld, and expressed simultaneously for the sake of our relationships. Just my humble opinion, Brock probably doesn’t need me coming to his rescue in this conversation, but I feel compelled so here I am, though frankly he’s no particular ally in this conversation, he largely ignored me. Lol.
Auto correct strikes again, thing is think. Ugh.
