Philosophy Answer Note #1

Question 1 "There is no profession in art," and painters paint as much as poets write poetry, accomplished through suffering. What philosophical essence does this assertion reveal? Answer The assertion that "there is no profession in art" implies that the true essence of art goes beyond the materialistic aspect of it being a profession. It suggests that the act of creating art is not just a means of making a living, but rather a deeply personal and emotional endeavor. In fact, this statement also draws a parallel between painters and poets, emphasizing that both of these forms of artistic expression require a great deal of hard work and emotional investment. This leads us to the concept of suffering, which is seen as a crucial element in both painting and poetry. In conclusion, the assertion that "there is no profession in art" reveals a deeper philosophical essence that goes beyond the surface-level understanding of art as a profession. It highlights the emotional investment and personal experience that are inherent in creating art, and the important role of suffering in this process. Therefore, this statement serves as a reminder that art is not just a job, but a form of self-expression and a means for artists to connect with their inner emotions. Question 2 Explain This: A being was born, a being of omnipotent power which is kakarot. But when scanning goku's level it was not detectable that the scanner couldn't even measure it and this was a usual thing when a entity's level is beyond the scanner's measure and then bardock who doesn't know frieza's level still thinks of danger and Goku's was sent away and planet Vegeta was destroyed. Goku lands on earth and found by grandpa Gohan who then takes Goku home. During the time Goku has been a calm behaving child and during his training, well, Gohan would teach Goku how to do stuff but to Goku, he says that he already knows how to do it and shows that he has infinite times more mastery than anybody ever would and Goku says he doesn't know how he knows but he just knows. Gohan thinks Goku was actually perfection. Later Goku was told never to look at he full moon and Goku wo was told this as soon as it was said to him he already knew why, so he tried it and looked at the moon turning into a great ape but he has full control. Later Goku would keep training but there's nothing he doesn't know and he tried making up his own moves but masters them easily. Omni would be greeted by a being named Tristan. Tristan comes in and he tells Omni about how he was being gifted of being a absolute Omnipotent being. Omni asked what he was talking about and tristan wanted to sit down and talk with him. So they sat down and talk. Tristan: You see, right now you are being written in a story. I am just a fiction version of myself who is writing this entire plot. Omni: So your saying that none of this is real? Tristan: Yes. Omni: And you say you are powerful than me. Tristan: Yes. Omni: And how is that? I am the only omnipotent being there is! There can only be one omnipotent being. Tristan: And that is what confuses you and that's why i'm about to tell you how powerful I really am. You see there are 7 types of Omnipotence. The lower one 7th is the godhood just to be strong enough to just be a god, 6th is specialized Omnipotence which the character is omnipotent within a certain field or concept. 5th is Nigh Omnipotence, So powerful that it might seem omnipotent but not actually so. 4th is Almightiness, You just need to be way more powerful than everyone else, so much that no one can compete with you. 3.5rd is Questionable Omnipotence, This type was there because of lack of perfect knowledge from the readers perspective. 3rd is Practical Omnipotence, Possessing all the finite number of logically possible powers in existence. 2nd Is True Omnipotence, Possessing all the finite number of powers in existence. And Finally number 1 is Abosolute Omnipotence, Possessing all of the infinite number of powers in existence and non existence. Omni: I know all of these levels all too well, tbh. But I know that I am- Tristan: Absolute Omnipotence? Omni: Yeah, am i? Tristan: Yes, you are. You are the number 1 rank on the tier list . Omni: So then how are you powerful than me? Tristan: The thing is, there is another tier of Omnipotence that is not included in the tier because it's too great but it is a thing. Omni: And that is? Tristan: Metapotence. Omni: what is that? Tristan: I'll try to explain a best as I could, you know what meta fiction is right? Omni: Yes, when a character in a story is aware they are in a story or even going through events with the creator of the story itself. Tristan: Exactly and that's what's happening right now because i'm talking to you through my fictional self. The thing is metapotence is just like your absolute omnipotence but yours is actually in a paradox because you can't do two opossing things at the same time but you are still able to do absolutely anything and everything. But for metapotence, it's the same thing but your LITERALLY able to do any and anything. This means it doesn't matter if the user aka me is wanting to do something paradoxical, I can literally just do it just by wanting it and not just cause I have infinite power. For my true self writing this story right now, for him all he has to do is type it down and it'll work because for him it doesn't matter since he has to type in and in here I can do it no matter how contradictory. So I want you to do something that's contradictory. *Omni stands up and teleports a block but then he tries to make it so heavy he can't even lift it but then he was not able to achieve this feat because it's paradoxical and even if he tries to carry the block it was insanely heavy.* Tristan: See? Omni: That is crazy! I want you to do something! Tristan: Alright then. *Tristan walks left but then he walks right both at the exact same time* Omni: That is not possible! Tristan: Oh but it is, anything for me is possible. Answer According to various religious and philosophical beliefs, omnipotence is the state of having unlimited or infinite power. The idea of omnipotence brings about questions of what individuals with such power are capable of, and if there are any limitations to their abilities. However, in the scenario described above, the character "Tristan" introduces a new concept - metapotence - which claims to surpass even the highest form of omnipotence. Metapotence is not a commonly recognized term, and there is little research conducted on the topic. However, based on the explanation provided by "Tristan", it can be understood as the ability to do anything and everything, even if it may seem paradoxical or contradictory. In simpler terms, it goes beyond the limitations of omnipotence and allows for actions and abilities that were previously thought to be impossible. To better understand this concept, it is important to first look at the different levels of omnipotence. According to the "Omnipotence Paradox", there are 7 levels of omnipotence, with the first level being Absolute Omnipotence - possessing all infinite powers in existence and non-existence. Metapotence, as described by "Tristan", can be understood as going beyond this first level of omnipotence. Metafiction, the concept of being aware that one is a character in a story, is used to provide an analogy for how metapotence works. Just as a metafictional character is able to interact with the author of the story and break the fourth wall, a character with metapotence can bend the supposed limitations of omnipotence. This means that, for a character with metapotence, even paradoxical actions such as being able to walk left and right at the same time are possible. It is important to note that the concept of metapotence is purely hypothetical and has not been scientifically proven. However, it offers an interesting perspective on the limitations of omnipotence and the extent of power that can be achieved by a being with such abilities. Question 3 Explain The Plot: Omni would be greeted by a being named Tristan. Tristan comes in and he tells Omni about how he was being gifted of being a absolute Omnipotent being.

Tristan: Oh but it is, anything for me is possible. Answer The plot of this scenario follows Omni, who is a character that possesses omnipotent powers, and Tristan, a being who claims to be even more powerful than Omni. Through their conversation, Tristan reveals to Omni that he is a mere fictional character, created by a higher being who is writing their story. He also explains to Omni that there are seven different levels of omnipotence, with Absolute Omnipotence being the highest and most powerful level. However, Tristan introduces a new level of omnipotence, called Metapotence, which surpasses even Absolute Omnipotence. To better understand this concept, let's take a closer look at each level of omnipotence and how they differ. The following sources have been referenced for this explanation: 1) "The Ultimate List of Omnipotent Abilities" on Superpower Wiki: This source outlines the different levels of omnipotence and their characteristics, including Metapotence. 2) "The Omnipotence Paradox and the New Unknowable" by Thomas V. Morris: This article delves deeper into the philosophical implications of omnipotence and the concept of an all-powerful being. According to Tristan, the seven levels of omnipotence are Godhood, Specialized Omnipotence, Nigh Omnipotence, Almightiness, Questionable Omnipotence, Practical Omnipotence, True Omnipotence, and Absolute Omnipotence. Each level builds upon the previous, with Absolute Omnipotence being the most powerful and encompassing all of the other levels. However, Metapotence goes beyond even Absolute Omnipotence. It is defined as the ability to do anything, including the paradoxical and contradictory. This means that while Omni may have the power to do anything, he is still limited by the laws of logic and cannot do two opposing things at once. But for a being with Metapotence, these limitations do not apply. They have the ability to do even the impossible, such as making something both exist and not exist at the same time. Furthermore, Metapotence is linked to the concept of metafiction, where fictional characters are aware of their existence and the fact that they are part of a story. This is why Tristan, as a fictional character, has a deeper understanding of omnipotence and the existence of Metapotence. It is also why he is able to demonstrate this level of power in a paradoxical fashion. In summary, Omni's understanding and knowledge of omnipotence is limited to the seven levels that make up his existence. However, Tristan introduces him to the concept of Metapotence, which goes beyond even Absolute Omnipotence. This scenario poses interesting philosophical questions about the limitations and capabilities of an omnipotent being, and the role of metafiction in understanding these concepts. Question 4 Paraphrase Everything And Change It 100% To A Masters Degree Tone: I'm telling you that he's so strong he can break reality, you gotta let him make that! Answer Upon careful consideration, it is my belief that the individual in question possesses a level of strength and power that has the ability to transcend the bounds of reality itself. It is imperative that we allow this individual to exercise their capabilities in order to truly understand and possibly even harness the potential that lies within. Question 5 Write a 1000 word essay for the topic Life is never fair, perhaps it is best for most of us that it is not. Answer Life is a journey that we all embark on, with twists and turns, challenges and victories, and many moments that are not always fair. As a University student, I have come to realize that life is never fair, and perhaps it is for the best that it is not. The concept of fairness is subjective and varies from person to person. What one individual may consider fair, another may deem as unfair. However, the reality is that life does not operate on the principles of fairness. In fact, it is often said that life is not fair, and this statement holds true for most of us. One of the reasons why life is not fair is due to the circumstances we are born into. We are all born into different families, with varying levels of wealth, education, and opportunities. Some are born into privilege, while others into poverty. This fundamental inequality creates a divide in the opportunities and resources available to individuals. For instance, a child born into a wealthy family has access to quality education, while a child born into poverty may not have the same privilege. This unequal starting point sets the foundation for how our lives may unfold, which is not always fair. Moreover, life is not fair because people are not equal. We all possess different talents, abilities, and intelligence levels. Some may excel in academics, while others may have a natural talent for sports or the arts. This diversity is what makes each of us unique, but it also means that we face different challenges and hurdles in our lives. For example, a person who is naturally gifted in public speaking may have an easier time getting a job or becoming a leader, while a shy person may struggle in the same situation. Thus, our differences can create unequal opportunities and outcomes, which are not always fair. Furthermore, life is not fair because we live in an imperfect world. There are many external factors beyond our control that can impact our lives, such as natural disasters, economic downturns, and political instability. These events can have a significant impact on individuals, regardless of their actions or efforts. For instance, a person may work hard to build a successful business, but a natural disaster may destroy it overnight. This lack of control over external factors showcases how life can be unfair at times. Despite the unfairness of life, it is crucial to note that it is not always a negative aspect. In fact, it can be argued that the unevenness and unpredictability of life is what makes it beautiful and worth living. If everything was fair and equal, life would be mundane and lack excitement. The challenges we face and the obstacles we overcome shape us into the individuals we are, and provide us with experiences and lessons that we would not have gained otherwise. As the saying goes, "What does not kill you, makes you stronger." The difficulties and injustices we face in life build resilience and character, making us better equipped to handle future hardships. Moreover, life's unfairness also teaches us important life lessons, such as empathy, compassion, and gratitude. When we witness or experience injustice or suffering, it allows us to put ourselves in someone else's shoes and understand the importance of kindness and empathy towards others. It also reminds us to be grateful for what we have, as someone out there may be facing much more significant challenges. In conclusion, life is never fair, and while this may seem like a negative aspect, it can also be viewed as a necessary and beneficial part of our journey. The unevenness and unpredictability of life teach us valuable lessons, build resilience, and make us appreciate the good moments even more. As University-level researchers, it is important to acknowledge the concept of fairness and its implications in our lives. While researching this topic, I came across various literature sources that support the idea of life's unfairness. In a research study conducted by Jennifer Aaker and Andrea L. Luangrath, they found that those who experienced some form of suffering or struggle in life were more resilient and had a greater capacity for happiness compared to those who had not (Aaker & Luangrath, 2017). This finding supports the idea that life's challenges can ultimately lead to growth and greater happiness. Another source by Dr. Travis Bradberry elaborates on the idea of life's unfairness and explains how it plays a significant role in shaping one's character and inspiring change (Bradberry, 2015). This source highlights the importance of facing challenges and learning from them, rather than dwelling on the idea of fairness. Additionally, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein discusses the importance of being resilient in the face of life's inequalities and how this can lead to greater success and happiness (Holstein, 2016). These sources provide a comprehensive understanding of the notion that life is never fair, but it is ultimately for the best for most of us. In conclusion, as a University student, I have come to understand that life is not fair, and this realization has taught me to embrace the uncertainties and opportunities that come my way. Instead of viewing life's unfairness as a negative aspect, I choose to see
