How Compelling that must have been

How Compelling that must have been Posted on May 12, 2008. In college, I came up with this economic theory and this philosophical theory and any other such theory you can think of. In my..whatever..year, I met this professor that was so enthusiastic about listening to what I had to say, that I couldn’t help but indulge him since, let’s face it, no one else gave a damn. Well what he did was actually better than just humoring a student’s passion. He always gave me his disagreements right alon

keep chasing!! Posted on May 12, 2008 by vishesh peace is not the absence of violence, but the comfort of obedience, of rebellion and union, of desire which leads to salvation. without a need, you cannot reach, without search, you cannot reach. the peace of achievement, is calmer than silence of suffering and acceptance, it is the ultimate solution. what matters is what you chase, with higher values and wants-race, but always we need a strong base, for we fall back to it,just
Socrates
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 00:55:09 -0700
This is Socrates- not the one that used to play for Brazil, but the ancient Greek Philsopher style of a Socrates. You will notice that he’s not the prettiest eye candy in the store. His philsophy was that a person should always try to “do well” and that one should “know thyself”. This plainly didn’t apply to his own personal grooming. And we can only speculate whether he carried this philsophy into his private Greek toilet area. To know yourself, you must create investigation. To truly kn
Jamal ad-Din Al-Afghani, Is That Your Final Answer?
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 00:54:24 -0700
In my historical research on the Islamist Entanglement, I have been examining the intellectual undercurrent that runs through Middle Eastern history during the Western Ascendancy of 1683-1839 and subsequent Western Supremacy over the region. It has been a fascinating project, with far greater rewards that I had suspected. Among the most interesting characters I have found on this journey has been an Islamic intellectual named Jamal ad-Din “Al-Afghani.” Al-Afghani, so called because he claimed

Buddhism as a religion of ‘true power’
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 00:46:39 -0700
To most people, a powerful leader who guides and teaches with a benevolent hand is much more deserving of reverence than a tyrant who oppresses with an iron fist. I believe Buddhism is a spirituality/religion that puts one in a position of great power. This power, understood in the context of Buddhism, empowers one with the ability to liberate all sentient beings from suffering. Therefore this is power not in the conventional sense, but understood in the context of Buddhist religious anthropol

Truth vs. Reality

V For Vendetta is my favorite movie. I appreciate the philosophical and political messages that the film portrays, and the performances by the actors is superb. As an aspiring writer/journalist, I value strong vocabulary and thought-out speech. The writers for the movie did a superb job in this department. In the clip below, V has taken over the British airwaves, and delivers the following message to the people of Britain: What did you think? Do you think any of V’s political ideals apply
How to Solve the Problem of Mind ?
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 00:09:58 -0700
By Desh Raj Sirswal There are numerous aspects of the nature of man and each aspect gives rise to many problems. Some of these problems are comparatively simple, other deep and perplexing. Throughout time, people have made distinction between the material or physical world and mental or psychical world, the former may be perceived by any observer; the later remains a private experience. Philosophy of mind, today centrally dealing with four issues: the nature of mind and body, mental content,
Montana: The Promised Land?
posted on Mon, 12 May 2008 00:08:23 -0700
Montana is the only State that requires employers to have a good reason (or “good cause”) to fire an employee. Under Montana law (http://data.opi.state.mt.us/bills/mca/39/2/39-2-904.htm), “A discharge is wrongful … if … the discharge was not for good cause.” Wisconsin, like most States, is not a “good cause” State and is instead an “employment-at-will” State. This means in WI an employer may fire an employee “for good cause, for no cause, or even for cause morally wrong, without (the employ
Problems with actor/politicians...

Everywhere I turned... some media pundit was explaining how Alec Baldwin, after being interviewed on Sixty Minutes, was suddenly "political" material. While he is an accomplished actor, he still remains, at least in my mind, the cold, heartless bastard that called his little girl "a rude thoughtless little pig" as to prove the point that everything was all about him. An Al Gore clone...distasteful as that image is for me. "Acting is a funny business: you make a living being other people, an
