Truth, beauty, and justice are not to be found in the material world, this is fundamental. But then i thought a little harder and concluded beauty does not belong in this triad, and the ones who claim it does are tough minded fools.

Why do people keep saying love at first sight? It’s infatuation at first sight. Love isn’t possible just by using sight alone. Get your words right and stop misleading people. I’m from /co/ btw. I read comic books.

>Infatuation is an intense but often shallow attraction or obsession towards someone, typically characterized by strong romantic or sexual feelings that may not be based on a deep understanding of the person. It is often seen as an early stage in relationships that can evolve into more mature love or may remain a fleeting passion.

Lord Of The Rings teaches that even when the good outcome results, and good does triumph over evil, there will often be things permanently lost, things that go away and won't be gotten back. That the cost of the victory of good over evil is often very high, and permanent.

But that the cost is worth paying anyway.

I wouldnt speak of truths here but more of strong arguments to think a certain way about this world...

kant would let me conclude that there are in fact no synthetic judgements a priori not even the ones he gives us... and that it is impossible to get to know something synthetic a priori... therefore it seems impossible to make any progress in the realm of the supersensory world...

that is a real nut to crack
