Charles In Charge

While we denounce monarchy in the U.S., I stand by the monarchy in the U.K., as you continue your Brexit.

In both places, the government is the lesser of two evils. Both governments ought to be supported.

Ethics ought to yield to the situation. And our situations are unique.

Master Morality Was a Rebellion Against the Matriarchy

Master Morality was a rebellion against the matriarchy. Nietzsche, with all of his psycho-social finesse, seems to have overlooked the actual purpose of paganism. They were Goths trying to be equal to their own women. Or, at the very least, worthy of their women. How, are we overlooking the Domina o...

Re: What Are You Living For?

A. That is typical of the majority. Since the emergence of evolution all living things and humans had been programmed to direct attention externally from themselves to facilitate basic survival, i.e. look out for food, threat, partners, etc. B. But since humans are now endowed with self-consciousne...

Do you have any idea what Socrates' 'Know Thyself' means or refer to in terms of the latest knowledge and potentials of human nature? No, I don't. A. That is typical of the majority.

Re: Is Knowing the Truth Enough?

1. Your point: Love of money causes us to have to deal with bad assets (polluting, etc.). But this is NOT my point. My actual point is; The love of money creates, and keeps, so called, 'bad assets', pollution, et cetera. My point: Fixing that would cost more money than anyone has and would halt wor...

Re: What Are You Living For?

Do you have any idea what Socrates' 'Know Thyself' means or refer to in terms of the latest knowledge and potentials of human nature? No, I don't. Generally what I getting at is, for whatever the effects [e.g. what are you living for] always be mindful of the proximate root causes and not merely fi...

Re: Is Knowing the Truth Enough?

1. I would posit that assets that pollute the environment or injure people are the problem more than love of money. But why are assets, which pollute the environment or injure people, still in existence for, if not for the love of money? Remove the 'love of money', then the assets that pollute and ...

Re: Quantity and Quality

I find it most useful to apply a quality to the quantity. For example: too much or too little. Of course, such usefulness is often highly devalued if we must all aspire to be goth (i.e. Master Morality). You might say, one good turn deserves another, or, you scratch my back; I'll scratch yours. But ...

This is a philosophy forum not a market-square. Anybody can claim they have done their best regardless, that is not philosophy, rational nor wise.

Re: What or Who Are The Jinn? (Goddess Sarasvati's Riddle)

I'm in a house now. Every time I go out, there are people and things and others that I can see. But I cannot see them now. Neither can I see the ancients, nor the future generations, nor those who are far away. Neither can I see them nor can I feel them. It's easy to forget that they are real and s...

Re: What Are You Living For?

What you are, the kind of being you are, is also determined by what you choose and do. Your life is yours to make of it whatever you choose, but you will not choose anything if you do not aspire to anything. If you have no desire to achieve anything or ambition to accomplish anything, if you don't ...
