Philosophy - February 2007

well, first off this is really complicated, and being a psychology student, i have to mention first that nobody else can experience what u experience. issue: i am someone who will try to make a friend of an enemy that kill my enemy. i am an utterly happy person, meaning not jump up and down clowny happy, (sometimes hehe) no but i am spiritually happy and i love life. it is my gift and all of ours. i love people, i hate judging and everybody is worth a universe to me. i love humans, nature, everything. the list goes on, i adore life period. on the flipside, i habor a deep sadness, more than sadness, a sense that i can almost feel the evil in the world. i feel people suffer even if I have a good life, thank G-d, and i haven't suffered like many do around the world. my heart is broken into a million pieces when i look at the world. i feel like every suffering i see, homeless, in a third world country, mentally disabled, whatver, i just feel like grabage. i care deeply about things. why?

I'm writing a short sci-fi story set in the future. There are two groups of humans, one group has microchips implanted in their brains that make them perfect workers. Together they have created a shining utopia without crime, war, disease, or poverty. But they have no free will, no emotions, no religion, and no love. They are basically robots.
The other group of humans represent the resistance. They don't have microchips and are normal, and of course, flawed. The leader of the resistance is captured and is about to have a microchip implanted, but before-hand he is asked : "What's so good about free will? Every ill aspect of society is caused by it. If you can give us a satisfactory answer, we will let you go without the implant."

I'm asking you...How would you answer this question if your life depended on it?
Thanks

Conversely, is it possible to believe in God and not believe in the supernatural? Thus posturing the question: "which is which"

When God leaves you at the edge of the cliff, trust him; one of the two things will happen, either he will catch you when you fall, or he will teach you to fly....you just leave me enthralled with these verses....thank you.

For example, your childhood? A specific aspect or place in your childhood? Your highschool years? College? I am 23 and sometimes I wish I could go back to my childhood---things were so much more simple back then. Also, do you ever wish you could fast forward to "the good parts" of your life? Sometimes I want to fast forward to 3 yrs. from now and hopefully I'll have a good job, a career actually, and a fiance and that i can be planning my wedding.

Who are you?
What does this question mean to you? Do you answer with a name? Do you answer with a belief? I am Mike. I am athiest. I am a bassist, lyricist, and a thinker. I am all of these, and my personal beliefs and traits have so much more of an impact on who I am than my birth given name. Yet I answer with the name, Mike. I am Mike. Not I am Mike, the athiest bassist. I am Mike. The bassist, the athiest, the thinker, the believer, the hater, the lover, the friend. The inaudible sigh. The relief that noone hears or sees. Who are you?




Buffalo. What other animal in this world travels in herds so tightly woven, so dependant on what the buffalo in front of them do, that they will follow eachother off a cliff, effectively eradicating almost an entire herd? Humans. Humans herd together, and we follow eachother off of our own cliffs. Cliffs that we can't even see, because we're so far up the person's *** in front of us that we can't even see that we're going straight for a cliff. Metaphorically speaking, we're all headed for one cliff or another. Not very many people desire to walk off a cliff, it happens suddenly. Sometimes the person who's head is up your *** knocks you off before you get a chance to turn around and break away from the herd.



If you're lucky, you got put on the outer edges of the herd. You get to see what is happening, from a 3rd person perspective, and you decide not to follow the herd. You go off on your own, sometimes you're able to fend for yourself, sometimes you're still eaten. At least you weren't part of the herd.



The whole human race is one big herd, and there are the few of us who broke off from the herd, who see this happening and are way too weak to stop an entire stampede.
