You’ll have to forgive me if I have a head cold but truth is that I do, so if I struggle a bit through this one then such is why.
Now, let’s discuss the thing that I normally write of. Namely, philosophy or something.
So my question is: Where do questions end and philosophy begin? The answer is simple: With the answer.
So this is the conclusive matter if such a premise, and from this we can garnish many things. I believe that without this, you have indeed nothing. Although you may have circumstantial things which occupy space in general.
And in doing so, we can begin to understand things from a more framework based and critical position.
Karl Marx describes the metaphysics of history as a spiral. It is circular and yet expansive. Case in point: Wars. Look at all the wars we’re having, it’s like less is more in a way.
Back in the days of yore you had tribes, and then they fought a bunch and made up and became clans, then the clans fought a bunch and made up and became nations, each time you see less war by quantity, and yet more war by quality. As 10 skirmishers became 100 warriors, and 100 warriors became 1000 clansmen, and 1000 clansmen became 10000 soldiers, and so on.
Suddenly we got a strange contradiction in which we are moving towards peace through deadlier wars, as the peace is a compartmentalised thing that exists in borders and treaties. As the treaties grow bigger, as more nations and alliances merge, so does peace, until one day when we got split right in the middle between East and West, the cold war.
A war so big, that even assholes thought it was a bit too much.
This I believe is the paradox of peace. Peace is the process of merging wars. How do we resolve that? No idea, but it’s worth looking into.
