Philosophy (Arts & Humanities) - June 2006

You probably have your own source of inspiration ..it could be a person, a thing, anything/anyone that drives you, and makes you look forward to each and every new day...what if you had to turn away and give it up (for whatever reason)?

Since all the great sacred texts were written by fallible humans,how can we know they contain the word of God?

What if their authors fabricated or conflated stories? If I wrote a book and told you it was the word of God, would you believe me? Probably not. So why then believe God spoke through people that have been dead for millenia?

If you invented an everlasting battery what would you do?

This battery will last forever and some huge company offers you a billion dollars for the patent, with the intention of never letting the general public buy the battery. However, you know full well if you sold it privately you will never make anywhere near a billion dollars but it will still be highly lucrative. Do you follow the ethical path (allowing people unlimited access to energy, knowing that only so many batteries can be purchased) or do you let the Big Companies money talk you out of it?

Plasticity and Superficiality: What drives our desire for physical perfection??

Why do people go through so much to LOOK good. Why are plastic surgeries on the rise?? Why are makeup industries and fashion industries booming?? Why do people obsess about their looks more than their values??

The bigger question being, what drives our desire for physical perfection?

My personal idea is this: I think appearance has great masking abilities. People have flaws in their personalities, and this is an inevitable reality. However, looks can be altered a lot easier than your habits or values..etc...When these things are altered for the "better" they make you look like a more "put together" person. Since we all know that first impressions create and impact we strive to create not a better person, but a better mask...
