Hello all,
I may not contribute much to this sight but I read the different posts
always with great interest. What annoys me is the attitude of some people
towards the ideas of other people, sometimes it's a testosteron filled
schoolyard in here I find that sad. This site is named MOQ.org, I like to
say to the people that think their stigmatic view is appreciated by anyone
else but theirselves; Start your own site, maybe you can call it
MOQ.com(petition). Or stay(please stay!)here maybe try to understand the
ideas that other people have, don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with
criticism but be positive and helpful, don't approach everybody's posts with
an ''my gun is drawn and the clips are fully loaded'' attitude please! Since
I don't want to nag, nag, nag I'm going to try to write something useful
about perspectivism and yes you are allowed to critize my words;
it's hard to understand other people, this has been one of the major
problems in my childhood(I'm saying this at age 22, still a child). Why is
it that people don't seem to understand me and why can't I understand other
people? Like (early)Wittgenstein and others like Bohr I thought we were
captured in our language, a lingiustical cocoon. But it's not really the
language that is the problem, it's the different perspectives we all have,
we can't synchronize our ideas, like Nietzsche said;
To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding; one
must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience; ultimately
one must have one's experiences in common''
Or Nietzsches hero of his younger days, Schopenhauer; It is only a man's own
fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that
he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like
taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded
clothes of a stranger
this problem that is described so well here is (or at least I think) one of
the most important problems in philosophy but then again what do I know. I
just hope it gets a bit more friendly here;To end positive(please excuse my
spelling errors) lútopie dáujourd'hui cést la verite de demain!
groetjes Davor
Ok groetjes Davor
