I used to hate philosophy as a teenager. My Dad and oldest brother both have degrees in it, so I was subjected to dinner table conversations about the "Beingness Of Being" (I'm not kidding) and various bits of morality.
As I've got older I've grown to think it's one of the most important things to get a grasp of, if you want to understand yourself and the world around you.
One of my favourite discussions at the moment is the morality of body modification (Not piercings etc, but functional modification - techniques/procedures just over the horizon that could allow you to pay to have a far more effective body than anyone's born with) and it's possible effects on society... and the morality of the whole Athiesm "campaign".
I'm not a religious person, but I'm slowly getting more and more fucked off with Richard Dawkins.

1. "i do not exist, the topic here doesn¡t either, then i'm not thinking and writing this..., then who asked?" [hey, who asked "who asked?"]
2. i do exist, the topic doesn't, so who cares?
3. i do exist, topic exists, solved
4. i do not exist, topic exists but sinks!
do we have free will?
everybody wants something, but if we don't have free will that means those wishes are implemented in our heads by something else.
1a. if something willfully can do this and i can't, i wish to know why and who implemented my will to ask it here! what makes it better and more gifted than me?
1b. if nothing does, then we are all forwarding the wave without any contribution to it, i'm like a lossless telephone. this is a relief then, since i'm not even a bit responsible for the outcome of my actions, universe is. so fuck you! (who said that? is this offensive shit real? should anyone mind for it?)
if you really are for the truth as the functioning laws of your environment, then look for what functions.
PS: if you wank but nobody there to watch you, then do you come?
1. no. then there is no solitary wank, all is public, which makes you an exhibitionist! better than wanker...
2. yes. then so does the tree make noizzz even if any exaggerated human ego is not present there to tape it.

lol i quite like richard dawkins and i find religion rather worrying but i think all the atheists trying to get rid of religion are just gunna make the religious right in the states more fanatical and none of them seem to see it.
