Bio

I'm back.

Favourite Philosopher

Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Hegel, Russel, Chalmers, Plato, Aurelius

Favourite Quotations

Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war? ... He said "War is too important to be left to the generals." When he said that, fifty years ago, he may have been right. But today war is too important to be left to the politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Revenge of the mods! I felt I did post a coherent argument, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it.

Wouldn't you agree that within our evaluation of the 'greater good' there lies the calculation of suffering and value? Means and ends, so to speak? My...

I fear I have side barred too far away from the main point. The point is that the broader correlation of sacrifice/suffering relating to good fortune/...

I will have to add that book to my pile. I've heard of it but haven't read it. Sounds fascinating.

Also yes, I started out born as a single byte and through the years I have evolved from 8 bit to 16 bit to 32 bit and now 64 bits.

I would be very hesitant to assume that suffering is the only way to find meaning. This is kind of what I'm trying to talk about, our expectation that...
