There are no rules in my beliefs expect your own personal morals
And honoring your ancestors Pagan and christian they are equal in my eyes
Some can even argue that the gods are just symbolic for ancestors long ago
No wrong answer in my eyes
I think Socrates was on the money
I know I am wise because I know I know nothing.
Ok, I'll check back in a bit. Off to play Cold War
Have you ever read his speeches on how democracy is horrible?
The *philosophy* dripping from that statment was *truly stunning*
He knew it was a disaster
I read a few things
I admire Socrates
Being brave enough to drink poison
If I remember correctly he was the guy who basically came up with communism as the "ideal" city system. It was a horrible awful place to live in of course, and pretty much entirely impossible to create and sustain, but it would keep the city self sufficient and free of turmoil and politics, basically.
Plato and Aristotle are also amazing philosophers. I'm reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics right now
I need to research that
And of course, Democracy is a mess on it's own. Look at Canada and other direct democracies. It can be done but eventually it seems to fall apart and fail. Republics are Democracies with a backbone.
I know that Plato was the proto eugenist guy
All forms are goverment are succeptable to failsure because humans as a species are flawed.
He believed the state should raise the children too
The Democracy is the corrupted form of the Republic, just as oligarchy is the corrupted form of aristocracy
Yeah he talked about, for example, soldiers would all be bred from birth to be soldiers, they would have very limited education and freedom, and basically be supremely loyal to the state and the state only, and live to wage war on attackers. They would be awful human beings, no more than robotic soldiers pretty much. But it would keep people in line, keep infighting and coups and the like from happening, and keep the state forever strong from outsiders.
Im about to read Brave New World
Alex Jones recommended it awhile ago so I finally got a copy
I need to read more, just don't have the time or pretend I don't have the time. Keeps your mind sharp, opposed to the soyboy population all soyfacing over the latest netflix garbage.
Working in a school in the downtime from cleaning I have plenty of time
I've been trying to catch up on playing some games, which is probably a dumb thing to do, but im not the most productive of people around so whatever.
Trying to finish Baldurs Gate 1
It's refreshing to play an RPG that doesn't have 100 big tiddy anime girl mods for once. 😏
what
You heard me
idk man. I think the mods truly add depth to the games
My penis can only take so much
A prefectly logical counter argument.
In other news.

Why are you not all eating turkey or in a food coma....probably wont respond as i fall asleep
Already ate
I'm between matches
There's an upcoming ppv boxing match. Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr
