...There are more things in heaven and earth, Roger,<br /> Than are dreamt of in your positivist philosophy.<br /><br /><br />Quite frankly, I'm not surprised philosophy has always been a highly debatable topic, I'm just surprised that people think philosophy shouldn't be a highly debatable topic. <br /><br /> Humans have the nearly divine capacity for thought. They also have a pretty good capacity to act like base animals without useful instincts. The nature of choice has always been that you can choose through a myriad of ways to assert your individually chosen preferences or helpless herd-like proclivities. Do you wish to assert the will to power or do you desire to slouch your way through existence, ok, but just don't bitch and moan about the consequences (either way you choose) because there are always consequences...even if you don't want to be held accountable for them.<br /><br /> Are there people who define themselves and those around them? Yes.<br />Are there people who are defined and shaped like inert wet clay by others? Yes.<br /><br />Personally, I realize I will have most of eternity on either side of my existence to be insensate inanimate matter, so I really don't give a flying fig about people(s) or culture(s) that embrace their own inner pathetic victimization and overwhelming desire to be in competition with lifeless objects as they mewl about innate worth and dignity. <br />CFTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-3228247866055731522016-03-01T14:54:22.979-08:002016-03-01T14:54:22.979-08:00Nothing any of them said was really original.
