#fatalism — Public Fediverse posts

Roll over and die.

The argument that is being turned out by UK politicians is that ‘it’s too late, so we might as well get to hell in a faster handcart’ (as the second article by Natasha Walker suggests. Inevitalism not hope, quiet despair as opposed to preparation for the damage we have done. All driven by big business and their hold over the media and Westminster politicians.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

I think I am pretty much of a fatalist. You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Essay (1951-12), “Growth that Starts from Thinking,” on Edward R. Murrow, This I Believe, CBS Radio

All-new in SEP, Jason Marsh's Evolutionary Approaches to Religion, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/religion-evolutionary/

Davin Hunt and Linda Zagzebski have also revised their "classical" entry on Foreknowledge and Free Will, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/free-will-foreknowledge/. I still remember studying that article for the first time. The theme was of no interest to me, but Zagzebski's skill in thinking aloud just fascinated a philosophically infested fellow earthling.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

The first rule is, to keep an untroubled spirit; for all things must bow to Nature’s law, and soon enough you must vanish into nothingness, like Hadrian and Augustus. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are, remembering that it is your duty to be a good man. Do without flinching what man’s nature demands; say what seems to you most just — though with courtesy, modesty, and sincerity.
 
[Τὸ πρῶτον μὴ ταράσσου: πάντα γὰρ κατὰ τὴν τοῦ ὅλου φύσιν καὶ ὀλίγου χρόνου οὐδεὶς οὐδαμοῦ ἔσῃ, ὥσπερ οὐδὲ Ἁδριανὸς οὐδὲ Αὔγουστος. ἔπειτα ἀτενίσας εἰς τὸ πρᾶγμα ἴδε αὐτὸ καὶ συμμνημονεύσας ὅτι ἀγαθόν σε ἄνθρωπον εἶναι δεῖ καὶ τί τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἡ φύσις ἀπαιτεῖ, πρᾶξον τοῦτο ἀμεταστρεπτὶ καὶ εἰπέ, ὡς δικαιότατον φαίνεταί σοι: μόνον εὐμενῶς καὶ αἰδημόνως καὶ ἀνυποκρίτως.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 8, ch. 5 (8.5) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

Dogmatiikan professori Olli-Pekka Vainio kirjoittaa Areiopagilla pessimismistä, https://www.areiopagi.fi/2025/10/miksi-pessimismi-on-viisas-kaunis-ja-onnellisuutta-lisaava-elamanfilosofia/

Väärinkäsitysten oikomisen ja joidenkin määrittelyjen kautta päädytään siihen, että "pessimismi onkin mitä hienoin, fiksuin ja kaunein elämänfilosofia, joka ei johda ankeaan synkistelyyn, vaan hyvyyden, kauneuden ja totuuden varjelemiseen". Maltillisen pessimistisen asenteen omaksumiseen löytyy niin käytännöllisiä, poliittisia, psykologisia, episteemisiä kuin esteettisiäkin perusteita. Optimismi pikemmin osoittautuu ongelmaksi.

It was great to present my work on fatalism and climate action in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, in a session on "Emotions in the transition to a no-carbon society" at the Global Tipping Points conference @uniexeter.

I talked about high levels of fatalism - beliefs that the future is predetermined and that human agency is pontless - in Bougainville, how this already reduces climate action, and wonder how this could be a barrier to harnessing potential positive tipping points in populations truly left behind.

Here are my slides 👉https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NIEhEWA2IC-4V2FC2ybCLFBmnbcO0ta4p-nhiiTOaIc/edit?usp=sharing

I also learned from @laurafoggrogers the importance of triggering positive emotions to fully engage the population at large, while Genevieve Guenther @doctorvive proposes a very interesting paradigm combining fear, outrage and desire, drawn from her book "The language of climate politics". I think everyone agrees that one size-fits-all type of communication is not optimal and that tailoring the message to the recipient is very important.

#DrJohnRowlatt discussed about how to best engage the UK population, and elderly people in particular, to switch to low-carbon heating systems. @larasningrum_dianty talked about the potential for narratives of hope in low-income countries and in general.

I look forward to continuing this discussion. 🙏 co-panelists & attendants.

THE END - A short story

A handful of decrepit old men decide to enslave the world in #tyranny and suffering.

A few more join them in hopes of getting a piece of the action.

Many more carry out their orders, telling themselves they aren't responsible for their actions, hoping to be slayed last.

The rest sigh and stare at their feet, waiting to be slaughtered.

The End

The average person is extremely unlikely to personally engage and call out #Trump #Musk or #Zuckerberg , compared to doing the same with your neighbors, friends, and family.

If you can't even stand up against fascist #apps on your phone, or that hateful relative at the dining table, what chance is there of standing up to fascist dictators?

This deeply perilous time requires #realism—but not #fatalism. In the worst of times, #solidarity is most needed.

See? We Germans can do #fatalism quite well (everything is "total" and "final" here). 😆

Let it be a Tale: Daring to Dream in the Face of #Fatalism and #Futility

Nothing is #inevitable. #Fascists portray themselves as an unstoppable force of nature to discourage resistance. This narrative is flawed because it ignores the dynamic nature of #society & deprives a lot of people of their agency. #History shows that concerted efforts can overcome #oppresive #regimes and ideas. By ejecting #fatalism and embracing our agency, we affirm that change is always possible, resistance is both meaningful and above all necessary. Hate is a choice,not inevitability.

“These [need-for-chaos] individuals are not idealists seeking to tear down the established order so that they can build a better #society for everyone,” the authors wrote in their conclusion. “Rather, they indiscriminately share #hostile #political rumors as a way to unleash #chaos & mobilize individuals against the established order that fails to accord them the respect that *they feel* they personally *deserve*.”

[that’s called #Entitlement]
