Dear Mama and Papa,
I can’t believe I’m doing this, but I guess there’s always a first time for everything.
I am your son. I am 19 years old. And I am about to graduate in college. So, because you were ‘shocked’ by my ‘too radical thoughts’ as you have made known to me, let me tell you everything I have learned about God – through living with you, in the...

Hmmm. Refutable but thought-provoking.
Define “consciousness.” I would argue that only the conscious (or at least, only those who embody our understanding of consciousness) can define consciousness.
I agree, and further, that is part of the definition/description of consciousness. It is private because it is privacy itself....

The question of "science" and "objective reality"
In the Marxist tradition, there’s always been contention between the existence of a quantifiable objective reality, and in an objective methodology in quantifying such objective reality.
Marx, for example, said that knowledge (or how one understands one’s world) can be classified into two, according to its bearers social situation: “science” (which is true and real and...

A bipolar authoritarian power-limited God?
Honest question: Why won’t God just show himself?
I mean, if God is the all-powerful being that religiously-affiliated deists claim him to be, then why not put a stop to all this doubting, and all of this subjecting us into philosophizing and theologizing, and just ~appear before us and tell us himself that he exists? And while he’s at it, tell us what exactly his demands are? Because...

The reactionary tendencies of the US, and the malleability of the ideological pangs of capitalist society in the US is amusing.

nopityfitness reblogged your post: May I ask what is your stance on hardcore militant veganism? I have become a vegan about 5-6 months ago, and I keep hearing all of these arguments concerning human privilege and speciesism and it’s really hard for me to consider veganism anything more than a personal choice. The problem is, when I do say it’s a personal...

Could a rock have consciousness?
Good answer from someone on Quora:
Yes, obviously. Why obviously? Well, first of all, where is the “disconnect” and what is it made of? Specifically, the disconnect that must occur if some parts of reality are “conscious” while others aren’t. And don’t get me started on the nonsense superstition of “emergent properties” — show me one “emergent ...

Today
I don’t know why I feel so compelled to at least jot down a few words about today. It’s quite sad I never ever have the time anymore to write my retrospections on life like I used to. But despite the traffic jam that is my calendar, I’m taking this time out to tell you, dear reader, and to tell myself, as I will read this in the future, that today felt, well…quite nice.
