  • Carl Korsnes sits down with the young Norwegian painter William Heimdal, who suggests that we are condemned to choose our stories about the world and that a symbolistic approach is more constructive than a materialistic one. Indeed, he even suggests that it will benefit all kitschmen, setting participation in culture radically up against entertainment. Heimdal presents Orthodox Christianity as the solution.

    "dostoevsky describes events that always happens with everyone at all times" this reminds me of what Sallustius said "Myths never happened but always are."

    The truth is Beauty, and poetics is what we use to describe the truth.

    Good stuff, it somehow made me realise...with a true king you don't need democracy, because he's already invested a piece of himself in each of his people, and so the people should be able to influence the king, and vice versa . Democracy is when this faith breaks down

    So you perceive the world as "matter and meaning"... What if we disprove matter? Does that mean that there is no longer any meaning?

      I'd say so. But what would disproving matter look like?

      @@transientimages If we can prove that all light and particles are forms of waves. Then we ask waves of what? Shifting from a materialistic centered model of existence to something else that could, or may be better described as a spiritual centered model or framework of existence

    from experience, i think the christian obsession to prove the bible to be true is rooted in them not really seeing that they have any agency, that it is actually a choice to believe. in proving it to be true they can say "i never had a choice in this anyway" and that gives them leeway to keep following arbitrary rules, keep ignoring their own conscience, avoid thinking for themselves or making their own conclusions from their experiences, and when they're unhappy, to console themselves with the idea that they're a good christian anyway. i'm only really able to take seriously those christians who know that their christianity is a choice, than those who think that christianity is the absolute truth and that everyone in the world must conform to it. it reminds me of a man who does everything to prove the faithfulness of his partner by paying for a private investigator and installing hidden monitoring devices everywhere, when at the end of the day his real problem is that he's fallen out of love with her. christians really tend to resort to fundamentalism and evidence-searching when christianity as a philosophy just isn't working for their life anymore and they can't face that, bc it would mean stepping out of the christian paradigm.

    i agree with a lot of these points but not putting a mask on during a pandemic doesn't make you a cold unempathic person, it makes you an idiot.
