I prefer a quest over just buying it from a kiosk. I'd actually like for every old item to be earned again through a quest for use in new eras.
But that's the problem with making content for millions of people. You can't please everyone.

Because quests are more fun than going to a kiosk. I'm just not a fan of instant gratification.

Kierkegaard would be proud.
-
Why so?
-
Look up kierkegaard and the 3 stages of living, especially the "aesthic stage."
-
You could just explain it, but alright lol

Editado por acousticsoul22: 8/5/2016 6:25:28 AMKierkegaard argued that there are 3 stages of living. The aesthetic, the ethical, and the religious. The first stage comprises of "instant gratification," whether bodily or intellectual.

Just did some (extremely) light reading on it, & are you sure he's talking about instant gratification? To me, it seemed like he meant more of an intellectual pursuit of happiness, such as going to college to get a job that can support a family, as opposed to dedicating your life to helping the poor (ethical) or pursuing a relationship with God (religious). Just how I took it. Feel free to correct me.

Editado por acousticsoul22: 8/5/2016 7:02:20 AMWell, it's tricky because kierkegaard's main focus was on the transition between the ethical (a father being a father) and the religious (Abraham sacrificing his son because it was God's will before he was stopped, read, "fear and trembling"). The aesthetic stage is fairly vague and open to interpretation. The first stage is very much "do what you want." his philosophy was very much about action (especially relating to his relationship to Christianity, which is part of the reason he is seen as the father of existentialism). Anything under "doing your duty(ethical stage)" would be considered the aesthetic.
-
Oh I see. The one thing that I don't understand is how his philosophies lead to existentialism. It seems like he was devoted to his faith, but I thought existentialism was predicated on the belief that there is no god?

Here is a quote from wiki about kierkegaard and his term, angst. Angst (or anxiety) is one of the cornerstones of existentialism. "In Existentialist philosophy the term angst carries a specific conceptual meaning. The use of the term was first attributed to Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855). In The Concept of Anxiety (also known as The Concept of Dread, depending on the translation), Kierkegaard used the word Angest (in common Danish, angst, meaning "dread" or "anxiety") to describe a profound and deep-seated condition. Where animals are guided solely by instinct, said Kierkegaard, human beings enjoy a freedom of choice that we find both appealing and terrifying"

Editado por acousticsoul22: 8/5/2016 4:03:39 PMVery good question. Well, I'll put it like this. Before kierkegaard, there was Hegel, who's dialectic was a crapshoot and -blam!-ing irritating. (I actually have a poster that says "keep calm and hate hegel"). One of the biggest criticisms of hegel is that his dialectic didn't give much in the way of "where to go from here. What do I do next?" and many people found this problematic. The thing about kierkegaard is that his philosophy, while being about faith, is very much about action. "what is my relationship to God, what do I do next?" this is the underlying principle to existentialism. Action. Now, kierkegaard was a Christian existentialist, whereas sartre(who came much later) was an atheistic existentialist. While they differ on most things, action is at the heart.

Not believing in god & believing that you're in charge of your life kind of go hand in hand, so I drew a false conclusion that not believing in god was a cornerstone of existentialism when it's actually about choice. Thanks for clearing that up. Also thanks for your patience. All these questions are probably annoying by now lol Side note: I'm a huge fan of sartre. No exit blew my mind & made me start to think of religion outside the box.
-
Also, you've given me some things to think about, especially regarding kierkegaard's philosophy. I really appreciate that.
-
Will do! I'm always looking for more philosophy stuff to study lol
-
Hey no worries, I love talking philosophy. I would recommend reading fear and trembling if you would like more information on kierkegaard's form of "proto" existentialism.
