why i havent posted in oh god has it really been like three months

i have this habit of talking to myself and basically writing a post out loud when i get worked up. usually this can take like twenty minutes to an hour if im sufficiently worked up. i started this tumblr to try to channel and focus that happening but it doesnt work very well because its much more fun to stand up and pace back and forth talking to an invisible audience than it is to sit still and tap buttons on a big board of buttons

maybe i can fix that

the joke with that last bit is actually no you dont always

[someonewithwrongopinions]

no matter what anyone says seriously dont worry you definitely always know best about yourself

[someonewithwrongopinions]

you can talk all you wanna but its different than it was

[someonewithwrongopinions]

a comedian is someone who can tell funny jokes for a living

a comedy writer, or comedy technician if you will, can write funny things and sell them for a living

a humorist is someone who can do neither of these things but people have laughed at them before so eh

[someonewithwrongopinions]

do rights exist

probably not

seriously, they probably dont. at least in the intrinsic sense like you dont automatically have rights as a human being. thats what i argue any way

see for rights really you have to have a legal system that recognizes and enforces those rights. naturally rights dont or cant exist mostly because a quote unquote right is something that needs to be protected to ensure it can function. for example without laws you dont have a right to free speech as someone can shut you up as soon as they dont prefer whatever it is youre saying

the difference is that you have freedom. like theres a dude that talks about this and i think he has pretty neat idea of how it works. he argues for an idea that is radical freedom in that you always have the ability to choose. the problem is that some people can use this freedom to attempt to quash your own. they cant always do it just like in the previous example if someone tries to shut you up you can just keep talking as long as physically possible and resist their attempts to shut you up

the main idea here is that rights dont exist inherently only your freedom does and rights are actually things put in place to curtail freedom in the interest of freedom. its a hilariously paradoxical concept because the idea of a right can easily be viewed in the sense not that you have freedom to do something but that others are denied the freedom to do something

another problem to consider is whether or not we accept rights as valid in a legal system but thats a bit of a different story

knowledge is pain

i argue that all knowledge is really good for is making us sadder and bringing us more pain

im not saying that i want everyone to be dumb because now that were supposedly blessed with sapience and sentience theres really not much else to do with it but learn more. its kind of a dumb existence. basically we would be much happier if we were still apes. i argue this simply because our greater problems that arise in society and with language would not seem like big deals or we wouldnt really care or we would lack the faculties to understand why they suck. and really all pain can be derived from caring that something isnt the way we want it to be. when we know things we understand just how little things work the way we want them to and it makes us sad

of course because we can gain knowledge the only thing to really do is to continue to learn. if we all learn and understand then we can all realize how to change things to make them better. yes i take the probably outdated classical view that all evil is a result of a lack of information or stupidity because i dont think many people who do evil things really intend them to be so. they just lack context or understanding for why what they do is evil. the hilarious oxymoron here is that it would better if we knew nothing but since we have the ability to learn innately and for some reason we want to do so we may as well learn

i mean you have the ability to learn so why do you not want to learn all the time. youre going to learn any way and its going to be painful so you may as well go out and try to get used to it or even somehow come to desire it. if you only get the half picture and try to work based off that all thats going to happen is someone is going to fill in that picture and its going to start hurting all over again

[someonewithwrongopinions]

maybe this whole blog is some kind of andy kaufmanesque joke with a lot of thought put into it that will have some nonsense punch line

i guess if it was than this would be it

also i dont know who wouldve put in all the thought because i sure as hell didnt

[someonewithwrongopinions]

if you havent gathered by now really all i want people to do is try to understand each other and stop hating one another

its a lofty goal i know but as long as im trying to not exist i may as well go for something else impossible

[someonewithwrongopinions]

i exist as a construct in your head

im just a voice thats trying to argue things you dont like so that you can be better equipped to shoot down those arguments when you actually come into contact with them

hating persons

hating a person is impossible

whenever its said that someone hates someone else theyre not stating that they hate that person. they hate concepts or constructions that are reflected in that person. classic example in homophobes. if a homophobe meets a gay person but they never realize that person is gay then they will not hate that person. this is because the first person hates the idea of gay people. a person is far more complex than a singular idea can allow. we like to simplify people down to a series of concise concepts but we all know that nobody is that simple. additionally many of the things we claim to hate or love in people are often points in a spectrum rather than binary values. gayness isnt something that is a true or false variable. this is simple when we view things like sexology and kinsey but we also know that even looking at it just the group of gay people there are a large variety of gay people. some gay people like to be butch some prefer femme some are cisgendered and some transgendered genderfluid or whatever you want to say fuck i do not want to write down too many of those words. as such it is immediately obvious that there isnt really such a thing as a gay person. you see gay is a concept that we formulate after taking in societal definitions and our own personal experiences and spit out an amalgamation of all those ideas. no person actually adequately fulfills the criteria that we individually have for gay because the idea massively oversimplifies a person.

basically what you hate is not the person itself but a concept that you ascribe to the person that resembles the idea of that concept you have in your head. if you actually really intimately knew the person then hatred would be impossible as you would understand how that concept fits into their being and is a necessary part of them but not in the way that you desire when you attempt to hate a person

you know what i hate. i hate hate. in that i hate hate when it is ascribed as a personal idea or as something that a person directs at another. i love hate when it is ascribed to ideas. hating ideas is fun because we can attack ideas as strongly as we want and nobody should be offended because our personal conceptualization of those ideas not the same as anyone elses. though there may be overlap you shouldnt feel bad because somebody hates an idea that you like. they have a different perspective on it and you should both try to understand and then assimilate each others conceptualizations into your way of thinking

im not arguing that you should not be offended when someone attacks you personally. im arguing that if somebody says they hate an idea you love or someone loves an idea that you hate you then need to understand each others feelings about that idea. you shouldnt hate someone for an idea that they have because if you do so then you simplify that person into you concept of the idea. and in doing that you imbue the other person with some kind of god like understanding of that idea or build them into a straw man that you can destroy easily or you turn them into an idea surrogate that you can use as a punching bag. none of these things are nice because the second and last are offensive to the other person as it basically denies them their personhood and the first also denies personhood and makes you into a martyr who must destroy the evil god for the good of everyone or into a powerless mortal who cowers in the face of the idea.

by the way the third idea as person thing is not the same as a straw man because a straw man is set up for the point of easy defeat while the punching bag is so you can make personal attacks in an attempt to attack the idea

this text is not be associated with a person

part of the idea here is that this is supposed to be arguments or rather discussions with absolutely no person attached. that way nobody will get demonized
