Is it bad that I agree with him on virtually everything?

you mean that man in the state of nature was an isolated Chad that didn't relate with anybody? where people would casually fuck when encountering each other and then just walk away? where the kids would just casually walk away from their mothers when they could take care of themselves?

i mean it sounds fun, but not very historically accurate

His most allurimg ideas to me are that society does corrupt the individual, that civilization isn't automatically a good thing and that scientific/cultural progress ≠ betterment of human nature. I couldn't agree more.

As far as the state of nature goes, I'm utterly convinced that Hobbes was right on that one, though.

but that's wrong, the individual is corrupted to begin with. man is a social animal, so if the social causes corruption the cause of the corruption is inside of us from the beginning

>> No.11192486

>>11192460
If that's the case, why are hermits, monks and people who live far away from society almost always less degenerate?
Also, as I said, I agree with Hobbes on the state of nature, but at the same time, I think society exacerbates the corruption already present within us.

I spank and choke my wife in addition to pulling her hair everytime we fuck and she always treats me like a king afterwards because "it was so fucking good." So I think there may be some truth to it.

ascetics are built through hard work and discipline, not born. The last words of the Buddha were "Strive on with diligence."

nobody is saying you can't grow higher than your nature, just that you have to do the growing, there's nowhere to lock back, just forward

>> No.11192531

>>11192498
I agree with everything you said, but I also think that staying in society would make becoming an ascetic significately harder. I think that's the reason those types almost always live in isolation or in tight-knit communities/monasteries.

I don't get how you could possibly agree with him on everything. His premise that institutions are what corrupts essentially good people can literally be refuted by finding a single decent individual in the world.

You write and think like a low IQ moron.
Please get the fuck off this board. There is no need for people who can't write coherently, let alone bother to capitalize, let alone have these thoughts going through their head.

Does that you'd also knowingly send your illegitimate children to die? Rousseau is a fucking joke, a hypocrite and a moron whose theory of morality and nature has less sophistication than the question of the chicken and the egg.

Anthropological studies show that hunter-gatherer tribes have a much higher rate of murder than exist in any contemporary civilized society.

>Several archaeologists and anthropologists now argue that violence was much more pervasive in hunter-gatherer society than in more recent eras. From the !Kung in the Kalahari to the Inuit in the Arctic and the aborigines in Australia, two-thirds of modern hunter-gatherers are in a state of almost constant tribal warfare, and nearly 90% go to war at least once a year. War is a big word for dawn raids, skirmishes and lots of posturing, but death rates are high—usually around 25-30% of adult males die from homicide. The warfare death rate of 0.5% of the population per year that Lawrence Keeley of the University of Illinois calculates as typical of hunter-gatherer societies would equate to 2 billion people dying during the 20th century.

It is common as hell, but it shouldn't be. If women want an ego reduction they shouldn't have to count on male violence. I feel like women who like that shit ruin me for the women who don't.

The most violent and isolated societies do not grow. There is actually a correlation to the societies with the least resources, isolation, and serious aggression.
This is literally what you learn in an intro to anthropology.
