10 Responses to “You are Insignificant”

   Why is this man spouting so much unmitigated bullshit, how on earth is he passing it off as science, and, most importantly, why are *you* publishing it?

   Some examples:

   Astronomer: “I am made of a trace constituent of the universe”

   Does the ‘I’ equal the physical body? Where is this shown “scientifically” - or is just an unsubstantiated hypothesis which lazy and arrogant scientists piggyback on their mostly successful elucidation of the mathematical order of the universe? I would also add that the vision of the mathematical order of the universe originates in the religious ideation of Pythagoras and Plato, and that the materialist reading of consciousness is explicitly rejected by many modern philosophers - like David Chalmers - and mathematicians - like Roger Penrose.

   Astronomer: “I will be gone in the blink of an eye”

   Even the arch-skeptic Voltaire knew when materialistic dogmatizing was unjustifiable. On the subject of reincarnation, Voltaire said “It is no more surprising to be born twice than it is to be born once.” If only modern scientists had such humility. But no, it’s just one physically deformed schizoid after another proclaiming the gospel of materialism and falling into grandiose ecstacies of their own “insignificance”. The gross flesh of this man’s body will soon be returned to Nature, yes, but the portion of him that is divine has another road to tread entirely. Unlike all the hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, etc. in his body, the ’substance’ of his soul is not on loan from Nature and will not be returned there once divested of its vehicle.

   The immortality of the soul is the foundation of Aryan metaphysics, whether Hindu or Greek.

   Astronomer: “We’re an afterthought”

   By whom are we an afterthought? And again, what support can be found in the physical sciences to support this claim? According to the Strong Anthropic Principle, our existence has been a decisive influence on the formation of the physical universe from the beginning, and it is a commonplace of quantum theory that teleological entanglements of the kind posited in the Anthropic Principle have causative agency - witness the Two-slit experiment.

   Astronomer: “We are completely, utterly, and fundamentally insignificant”

   More substanceless twaddle masquerading as science. Any proof of this statement? Didn’t think so. This crowd loves the grandiose ecstasy of their own “insignificance” just as the liberal wallows in his own imagined guilt. Both angle after status while avoiding their real duties. The liberal seeks to avoid the REAL austerities actual compassion would require - starting with one-ethny polities and the practice of eugenics - while the scientist brags of his own insignificance so as to never face up to his actual ontological status in the divine order - which might involve REAL humility. As a general rule, people who are subjecting themselves to real austerities - moral or mental - do not brag loudly regarding them.

   Both types of braggarts here - the liberal and the Saganite ‘insignificance’-peddler are cripples in whom adult masculine responsibility can find no purchase, just as both are emblematic of an age of total spiritual degradation.

   OK, so let me get this straight; after all this huge effort and giant cosmic production the human being has finally, thanks to science, realized that he is completely insignificant….

   The guy is an idiot, plain and simple.
   A smart idiot, an erudite idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.
   He’s an idiot because he takes his level of knowing as the measure of man and of the cosmos. Yep, he’s a real know-it-all idiot.

   It’s this kind of smug intellectual ‘certainty’ that is the reason for the spiritual emptiness of the West.

   I hope that this poor man will be granted the inkling of true transcendent spirit before he shuffles off this mortal coil.
   He will probably face the deep mystery only at death’s very door.

   Science is a tool. It is good for understanding the laws of the physical universe. But science does not explain the invisible side of things very well. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is more than just the random collection of insignificant impulses.

   Awakening to the gods is not a scientific formula. But that’s where it’s really at!

   Can someone finally tell me how consciousness can survive the physical desintegration of the brain?

   I’m willing to play the authority card here:

   “Due to his own original special nature, the Jew cannot possess a religious institution, if for no other reason because he lacks idealism in any form, and hence belief in a hereafter is absolutely foreign to him. And a religion in the Aryan sense cannot be imagined which lacks the conviction of survival after death in some form. Indeed, the Talmud is not a book to prepare a man for the hereafter, but only for a practical and profitable life in this world.”

   Hitler, Mein Kampf, XI, 306.

   I do believe that there is a life after death. None of us can imagine what it will be, however. It’s certainly not what the jews say it is (including christianity).

   My ex-sister-in-law is jewish, We once had a talk about how religions deal with the after-life. She told me that the Jewish religion doesn’t believe in an after-life and/or that it’s a non-issue. I was stunned. I’ve also heard that from other jewish sources. I could never make sense of that viewpoint until I started to wake up a bit more.

   The jews heaven is on earth. It fulfills their every desire to exploit, cheat, rob, and steal. This you cannot do in the afterlife. Ever notice how Aryans, when they are ready to die, they accept it and in fact there are movements in this country to allow a person to die with dignity. Not a jew. He will do everything he can to prolong his life, because he knows that after this, he ceases to be. A lot of jews are cyro frozen in the hopes they can come back to continue their plunder.

   FB, my take is that we are the sum of all our experiences, memories and emotions. At a purely biological level, this sum is stored as electical impulses (the only part of the body that has them, I believe. The brain is what keeps us alive. Who’s to say that when the body dies, these formed electronic patterns don’t leave the body and perhaps transition to another plane?

   I myself cannot accept that we just switch off and cease to exist. Animals do because they act mostly on instinct, and don’t exist on a higher plane. I think there’s a reason for that, myself.

   “Ever notice how Aryans, when they are ready to die, they accept it and in fact there are movements in this country to allow a person to die with dignity. ”

   Yes, here in Oregon we have a Right to Die type of law.

   jewish doctors don’t like this because they want to suck out every last penny they can from the Elderly Aryans Estate. One reason the medical system sucks in this country is the Greed of jewish doctors.

   To try and prolong ones life as long as possible (without taking Quality of Life into account) is a very jewish way of looking at things.

   I am half-German half-Norwegian SPAWN OF QUISLING and know that when my ancestors could no longer take care of themselves and became a burden they would wander out into the woods and hang themselves like Wotan!!!! THIS IS THE ARYAN WAY! (I myself do not think I could hang myself, but am planning to down alot of medical pills when the time comes. Yes I ponder mortality quite a bit)

    If you believe that the spiritual does exist then you can also believe in a soul. If however you have a completely naturalistic view then you just assume that is all over when you die. I would assume that Pagans would believe in an afterlife, but I could be wrong.
