If there was such a thing as a revolutionary theory, would language be able to express it? Theories and concepts are represented in language. Basically, if it exists in language, it can't be revolutionary. If it doesn't exist in language, how can we express it? Then what is the use of philosophy and ideology? Perhaps if we had enough faith in ourselves to stop theorizing, philosophizing and conceptualizing, then we may open ourselves to something truly revolutionary.

Yes, it's called bio-evolutionary morality/ethics, in which evolution governs the only rules that drive ethics. It's much like the categorical imperative, with the key difference being that human emotion (loyalty, kindness, honesty, etc) does not matter unless they strengthen the chance of the species' evolutionary success. So, a rule such as Kant's "shall not murder innocents" could actually be invalid, given a scenario of overpopulation (this would excuse infanticide in hunter/gatherers, for instance).

In all, it's a type of philosophy I think bridges anthropology and philosophy in a way I haven't seen. That's my hope, at least...

Yes. I believe that all living things have the exact same central being, and the only thing that makes any difference between them is the sharpness and accuity of the sensory organs which brings greater richness of detail. It's like the Beatles said: I am you as you are me. You just think you're a different being because you're located over there, in THAT body.

Basically I'm suggesting there is only one observer, and all life is the sensory array bringing it knowledge of the otherness.

It's a thought similar to Hinduism, I've been told.

My theory is that the secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. That's my own personal theory.

Actually, I don't really think that anybody will be able to come up with a revolutionary theory that hasn't already been considered by many people.

"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources" is a quote from Einstein. So perhaps he WASN'T the father of relativistic physics?

UNIVERSI... (Next Poster): That's called pantheism. I'm also a pantheist.

Do I have a theory that is revolutionary? No. Do I have facts that are revolutionary, yes.

It seems that inalienable right is in fact alienable and that for mans technical development, as it moves forward, human spirituality regresses to something less than barbaric. In proportion to human masses as they grow in urbanization the greater the split of the fact of personality and its self conception.

"We have already indicated how the social nerves of private property are severed because of the inalienability of landed property. Private property (landed property) is fortified against the owner's own wilfulness by having the sphere of his wilfulness suddenly changed from a universal human sphere into the specific wilfulness of private property. In other words, private property has become the subject of the will, and the will is merely the predicate of private property. Private property is no longer a determined object of wilfulness, but rather wilfulness is the determined predicate of private property. Yet let us compare this with what Hegel himself says about the sphere of private rights:"

I think that the American flag should be flying from every national capital in the world, excepting perhaps those nations who have proven themselves as our allies in the War on Terror, including some who got out early, like Spain, Italy and the Philippines. I still respect them for standing up when it counted the most.

We have proven that we can rebuild Europe and Asia whenever they destroy themselves in ridiculous wars (as they did in WW II).

We have proven that we are the most generous and freedom loving nation on earth and preserve it at great cost to ourselves.

We have proven that our way of life, with a complete set of human dignities and free markets, leads to the greatest prosperity (we are the world's largest economy and we're still growing--entire continents can't compete with us).

We have proven that we can inspire the greatest of global causes, like the UN, the WTO, the Coalition of the Willing, and the American Red Cross.

We have proven that we can resond to natural disasters all over the world, both through government aid and through the generous, spontaneous donations from citizens.

And we have proven in many areas of the world that when we take another sovereign nation by force, we return it to the people with a restored sense of national identity all their own and hope for the future (examples: Germany and Japan).

The only way you will ever hear anything truly horrible about my country and homeland is when some dolt feels the need to make something up in his/her fevered hate-filled imagination.

I think that an evil terrorist person will release a toxin all over the world that causes oil to explode, and we will all die. Except the pigmies in Africa.. they use solar.
