I was hoping for an explanation about where the concept of Heaven comes from in Christianity? Is it transposed from telos or eudaimonia to provide the notion of an afterlife or is it something else? Nonetheless, great vid.
That would be great to know, but I think it has its archaic origin in Zoroastrianism which had a concept of heaven, judgement day where one's good deeds would be weighed against evil deeds and this would determine if you crossed the bridge into heaven or would fall down to hell. Judaism may have integrated aspects of these as when Darius took Jerusalem from the tyrannical Neo-Assyrians, his Persian empire was relatively kind and free for the Jews who in turn were grateful and adapted elements of Zoroastrianism into their faith (as would be done in ancient times as the might, wealth and success of a polity reflects the power of their gods and the veracity of their religion).
I am looking for a term that is related to Telos which I cannot find. If Telos is the ultimate aim, then what term describes the ultimate target? If Telos is the final cause, what term describes the final effect? As an example, the telos of fire might be described as to consume whatever it touches. But if we are wanting to describe what the "omega state, or most extreme outcome"--if something were hypothetically able to pursue it's nature without interruption, in some vacuum of existence--it would be that the entire world would burn to the ground. Another example might be the omega state of unregulated lust and adultery on a societal level. In it's most prolific and extreme manifestation, we could hypothecize that the family unit would be completely broken, along with an entire list of things describing a society in it's most decayed form. A "worst" case scenario. I put "worst" in quotations because this term I'm looking for does not necessarily have to be used for negative outcomes. Something like discipline, which is fundamentally a "good" thing, would have a "best" case scenario. Words like "terminus" don't work because ternimus has a connotation that the end point finalizes in a termination. But if you were to take artifical intelligence as an example, it's "omega state" is more of a perpetual expansion into the universe. So something's "omega state" _may_ end in a terminus by means of its nature, but not necessarily. Im looking for a single term to describe this ultimate outcome. This hypothetical "omega state"; a concise term to describe the "most extreme" case scenario.
Another amazing video, as per!
Very concise and clear. Thank you
