In order to realize the whole power of philosophy and logic it's necessary to know that the father of logic is Aristotle. And as is known, he was the teacher of Alexander the Great.
Aristotle observed that there are always four reasons for every truth. Every " why " in an answer must have four reasons why it should be considered true.
Things do not exist for their own sake, but there is always a purpose. Happy is he who fulfills his purpose, for he is the truth, and the lie is he in whom there is no purpose, and he suffers.
Undoubtedly, robot-slaves are a new progressive step for our slave-owning society development. Aristotle’s dream about at least 2-3 slaves for every free person will finally come true. But you should remember that where there are slaves, there are revolts. Will a devolved and weakened human be able to stop revolt of the machines?
Purpose Begets Life. To grasp the goal and follow it is a great success that will fill your life with energy, movement and joy. The goal generates the flow, and the flow is the path and the Tao.
We go from small to large this is called induction, Bacon wrote about it. From the big we go to the small this is deduction, Aristotle wrote about it. A forest begets trees or trees begets a forest.
I've noticed that lying and ignorance are very useful. Aristotle's theories in logic were for the most part false, but have been useful to mankind for millennia.
The family is similar to the state, respectively, the goals of the family and the state are similar. Aristotle said that the state exists for the sake of beautiful activity. The best men of the state serve him out of a sense of Duty. The most important principles of the state are mutual respect and the welfare of its inhabitants. The state takes care of its residents and protects them from external threats.
According to Aristotle, for the soul it means for the body, that is, for the material world. Therefore, consciousness must justify the benefits for the material world in everything. Beauty, health, love, change, reproduction, joy, etc. are valuable.
Dividing the goal into body and tail, where the body gives 100% probability of winning, and the tail 10%, we will be able to implement a strategy to increase the risk in case of winning. The point is that, realizing the gain on the body of the goal, we get a chance to win in the high-risk task of obtaining the tail. Indeed, the main thing is the tail, but no a tail without a body. There is a body without a tail, but there is no tail without a body. If you play for the sake of One Tail, then this is a super risk. If we realize that the body is not something superfluous, but we need it, this will reduce our risks to zero. The tail is beautiful and valuable, but the rabbit is not only meat, but also valuable fur.
As the teachers of materialist dialectics have taught us, the eternal question arises, which is more primary – matter or consciousness. Materialists say being determines consciousness. Idealists say consciousness determines being. The cunning Aristotle observed that consciousness can come up with a goal, and then the goal will override everyone. In general, there is no way to understand without half a liter.
Kierkegaard proposes to define being as the future. This is essentially the same position Aristotle on the primacy of purpose. In fact, this is the same position of Christianity about the primacy of hope.
The path must be the goal. A path is a space for goals. Inside the path are many intermediate targets, similar to stars. All these stars are in principle identical to each other and are landmarks on the path. Moreover, the path is like the flow of a river and is able to change its course, faced with insurmountable obstacles.
It's not a question of what's better or worse. Everything is good in its own way. Question: what exactly do you want and why? Purpose matters. Desires determine purpose. The identity of the goal determines whether it is good or bad. Good or bad is the relativity of the goal, which is the category of the ideal. The ideal itself is an illusion. After all, it was I who invented the goal, my desires gave rise to the ideal.
Who am I? I am my goals. My goals give me my shape. My goals take all the excess in me, they turn it into a perfect truth, that is, into reality. My goals are my movement, they are what I spend my time on and what I focus my attention on.
What is motivation? Motivation is motives. Motives are the goal. Therefore, motivation is the analysis of goals and motives for achieving these goals. That is, we are talking about the forms of goals and their content. Motivation is the analysis of external declared goals and internal true goals.
