I'm a moron and a narcissist. I can't shut up about myself because I'm so smart, and need to elaborate on my intelligence on a dolly forum.

We were all thinkin' it, you're just saying it.

After looking through some of his earlier posts in this thread, I've ascertained he's Canadian.

Every post:

I don't care about anyone or anything cuz I'm real smart. Did everyone hear that?

Like a fart, know one likes it, unless it's your own brand.

I'm a moral and existential nihilist, not an epistemological nihilist. I'm an empiricist. There is no empirical evidence to suggest that value exists. Again, you serve clients. You are a servant. There's nothing wrong with servitude, but it is what it is. I wasn't born with money, so I had to hustle. I was forced into servitude for a long time. Couldn't escape it until my mid-30's. If I projected value onto circumstances that made me unhappy, I never would have worked to secure freedom.

Again, if you want to serve others, have at it. But it is, what it is. I'd rather live in a world where servitude wasn't an integral part of the economy, but ironically, it's the servants themselves who legitimize it. So I work with what I have, because I'm a realist.

Right, still not seeing any indication that you actually do anything to pay your way in this world. So I'm going to assume "parasite" as your occupation.

Value exists, there are objective criteria by which things can be judged. In the field of art alone, a portrait can be judged by objective measures: accuracy of likeness, colours, light in relation to planes, etc. In music, there are rules of harmony that have proven robust for hundreds of years, doubly so by people who choose to break them for effect.

Be more specific! I love GG Allin's live performance. He ***** people. It's interesting. Look at it this way: Would you show up to a concert to watch a guy who ***** members (male and female) of his audience? No? Why not? If people show up to a venue where they know they might get *****, they pay to get in, then they get *****, your thoughts? I think it's hilarious.

I get it, you practice home invasion/**** on Phicen bodies, but like every serial killer knows, fantasizing isn't enough.

You haven't given an example of intrinsic value or worth. You've given examples of symmetry, subjective aesthetics and culture. The rules of harmony are frequently broken by jazz musicians.

That's... exactly what I just said. And no, those examples are not subjective. They can be measured objectively, and empirically.

You're not getting it. There's a difference between epistemology and existentialism. Look it up. I'm not denying geometry. I'm denying the existence of worth, as "importance". Aesthetics are subjective in terms of desirability. There's no obligation to obey aesthetic theory in terms of what is "desirable", so that's a poor example of value. Value doesn't exist. Symmetry exists, but that has nothing to do with value, as "worth".

Another way of looking at it: Why does science refrain from addressing value? Because there's no falsifiable evidence to suggest value exists. If it exists, it's apriori.

To go back to your example of jazz musicians, both the musicians and the audience are aware that there is an objective standard or value of harmony in music, and that the musicians are often breaking it for effect. Only by agreeing to a universal objective standard of "good" in music theory can jazz in turn be appreciated for breaking the rules of that standard.

You seem to value art on some level based on your posting history, if a piece of art brings you pure emotional and mental happiness as a respite from the pain of everyday reality, then it holds aesthetic value, elevating the world above will and into a realm of the purely mental or representational. To put it another way - dichotically, your existence and being allowed to labour under the delusion that there is no ultimate value to anything is contingent on the parasitic exploitation of people who in turn do believe in value.

This is what I picture happening in this thread but without the girl present.

Where do you get off using the term "girl"? Gender is a spectrum! Respect people's choice of pronouns!

It's quite fascinating what loons a toy forum attracts.

BTW, did you hear about Spazz's nihilism? I don't think he mentioned it.
