Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics = The Game 'Sense' Ruled by 'Law and Order (Non-Sense)
In the ancient times of Aristotle most people believed that there had to be more than visible human behavior.
People living 'far' away were easily seen as dangerous 'barbarians', because of different language, dress and visible habits.
But also often seen as having mythical powers.
Aristotle saw invisible 'gods' as the source of all things, and only the uppergod possesses 'knowledge' in the highest degree. (Zarah2nd: substitute 'God' by 'meta-sense'='non-sense')
Nicomachean Ethics (Ethique a Nicomaque) were tailormade rules of the logical 'law and order' game 'Reality by God' (animated bodies), as designed by Aristoteles for his obedient follower Alexander the Terrible (because of his greed for power known as Alexander the 'Great).
40 years old Aristotle made young Alexander a with total zeal operating combination of 'godly' thinker and bloodthirsty animal. (Zarah2nd: animal = mammal without much anima)
Quote Alexander the 'Great' (worshipping Aristotle): I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well (= my father gave me my body, my master Aristotle added 'anima)
Zarah2nd quote: Socrates had a student named Plato, Plato had a student named Aristotle, and Aristotle had a zombie named Alexander the Terrible
Aristotles' creationism of 'law and order' by 'god' became essence of 'Hellenism'.
And many ages later, via the Romans and via Thomas Aquinas,
in 17th century Enlightement in Europe heavily influenced the catholic priest Descartes.
'Anima'='Non-Sense' (in fact expressing supremacy) now was called 'mind', 'soul' or 'spirit' (Mind Body Dualism).
Descartes did not succeed in proving that god/mind/natural-law 'exists' (per definition it can't be sensed, it is not sensible). No surprise, because every logic/ethics has presumptions, and a presumption of God-logic (ritual worship of a superior being) is
the 'existence of God/Natural-Law' (the highest superior being and his rules).
Catholic Encyclopedy: Obedience is accepting the unchangeableness of the natural law and order as
created by God.
Catholic Encyclopedy: The Body is expression of 'Natural Law'.
(by the way: the founding of the United States is based on Natural law)
Hypothesis
God's logic is not common sense, but non-sense.
God/Non-Sense exists
God/Non-Sense is superior to nature (sense)
God/Non-Sense is not physical
God/Non-Sense is expressed in 'natural laws'
God/Non-Sense is chained to every God/Non-Sense-believer by way of 'anima'
Shared sense is common sense
Rules of Non-Sense
The Rules:
- Aristotle defines status 'happy life' in the logical game 'Reality by God' as 'totum bonum'
- Getting 'totum bonum' takes total obedience to 'God'. Getting all available bonus points (summum bonum).
- The players of 'Reality by God' are split in 'moral' (by way of bonus points) and intellectual (bodily).
- 'Moral' virtues are 'subjective' (Zarah2nd: an INVENTED notion) , but follow what is accepted as universal natural law (given by God).
- 'Laws' (human made) keep players within God's rules of the game (God made natural laws).
- A 'moral' player aims at 'moral' perfection (Zarah2nd: God's zombie - summum bonum).
- Following God's rules = 'Moral'. Ignoring The Rules = 'Vice' (Zarah2nd: barbarians, terrorists).
- 'Reason' or 'moral' fantasies give most bonus points (acting morally)
- Bodily desires (like thinking of sex) are mostly 'evil', temptations based on pleasure and pain.
- All or nothing: obey God or end in status 'hell' (all bonus points lost).
- Only a 'moral' player can reach level 'happy life' (obey God or be unhappy)
- All players reach bodily status 'good' or 'evil' just by playing. But only playing with the rules influences their bonus points.
- Player reach status 'Real pleasure' through playing within Gods rules.
- True Friendship or Perfect Friendship can only exist between two God following players.
- Playing virtual 'Reality by God' without God's rules is shit.
- Reaching high matchpoints is seen as 'self-love', it shows the players god-level.
- The end of the game is reaching status 'Divine Happiness' (making zero errors in obeying God; having reached 'Totum Bonum').
(Zarah2nd: substitute 'God' by 'meta-sense'='non-sense', and realize that Aristotle only accepted his own 'god')
