Lets discuss pros and cons of this idea of the Eternal Return! Is it plausible in your opinion? What are the implications?
This idea was introduced by Nietzsche as a sort of a thought experiment and is directly connected to the stoic concept of "amor fati" - can you truly love your life, accept your destiny? If the answer is "yes" then how about living it again and again for all eternity? Id say fuck that...
I can see a few implications:
1. Theres no "free will" - the "person" i think myself to be is an illusion.
2. The universe is absolutely mechanical.
3. "life lessons" are useless - theres no learning.
4. Its all absolutely meaningless.
My last question: if you knew this theory to be 100% true - would you still want to CTB?
