None of that is true.
Hmm, strange that you criticise this when your posts share the same issue =|
They both speak in absolutes...
A wize man once said, 'Life itself is an excercise in exceptions' lol
It was only a spot of fun I was having with Deviant D, mate. Pointing out the fallacy of making such a bold statement which in essence objects to bold statements. In a light-hearted fashion. That's good, I've read your posts up to now as favouring universal statements, if you can see an issue now, then maybe you can find an issue with that as well. quote:
I suppose I could get philosophical about it and go into the whole don't fool yourself that we're a reasonable species believing that life is about opinions and all opinions matter. That's a monumental fabrication of 'the truth'. I'm not really saying these things because I think people's opinions matter lol, more because I think we mere mortals can't grasp the truth, and so our only real hope is to try and understand things as best we can. That's why I try to consider context and outcomes and all that... I tend to allow for exceptions. I feel like there's some wisdom in embracing the uncertainty in that way.quote:
We can all be philosophical about life when we're at rest, but in the cut and thrust of life a good proportion of people are dealing in facts no matter how factual those facts are. Just think of your work and the nonsense that goes on there. Haha, well, better to deal in facts that aren't true than truth we can't know? In all seriousness though, it's what happens in the cut and thrust that interests me.quote:
A wise man once said: human beings are much closer to animals than they will ever to be God. And, he was a very wise man indeed and ideas have stood the test of time. I agree I think, though part of both is perhaps the take away message. (Albeit, a 'God' that transcends religion...)quote:
It's nice to think that we're reasonable, objective, don't deal in absolutes etc, but that line of thought is a product of The Enlightenment and it has, to the curious observer. been proven wrong time and time again.
Human beings are very dangerous and actually are hard-wired towards absolutes. Well, I seem to muddle through somehow. >_<quote:
We're like dogs fed bones to keep us happy and away from grand ideas because I'm afraid that's the way it has to be otherwise all hell will break loose (apt for this thread I think).
On the plus side, in the event you follow this line of thinking then you realise that your best of course action is to cage as many women as you possibly can in advance of some serious whipping, fisting and fucking.
O.o
