For the last week I have concentrated all my writing energy on my research paper for history of psychology. To make up for this poor excuse I will make this entry a bit lengthier than normal because I have had plenty of time to think about what I wish to complain about (kidding). My first few days I was very proactive in conducting excursions but after I started to run short on ideas I spent more time being unproductive. Purpose is essential in the continuity of self-progression. We cannot make a better world if we do not define what “better” is. The relativistic argument on this is “everyone has a different definition”, well there can be no progress if this is really true and I find the common mind to be quite agreeable on specific definitions such as what is sweet, sour, salty, and bitter or even pain and pleasure on a nominal scale. Applying Utilitarian Calculus would at least be a step forward.
There is a great disservice being done to our country by embracing the idealism of virtue ethics, most greatly expressed through the current high school/college generation. We have the brightest, best educated, most technologically advanced young adults ever recorded yet they have no idea what their purpose is. What is the point of a remote without a television, or a light without electricity? Many ideas are being fashioned and considered accepted by the culture most of them have been created by capitalist media empires. My question is, what is the meaning of your life?
A man who continues to think two ways at once will eventually tear his mind in half.
A Misologist’s statement “I don’t have any authority on the subject but the facts are the translation is a correct interpretation.”
Welcome back from the beach, isn’t life academic?
