Hey guys,
I’ve decided to move the blog over to Wordpress. Just thought I’d try something new.
I already moved most of the content over there. I apologize to all of you lovely followers of mine, but you’ll need to resubscribe. The address is http://philosophyafterdark.wordpress.com/
See you there!
anyone want to pay me to read nietzsche and post quotes on my tumblr?

GUESS WHAT BISHES I GRADUATED!
Oh hmm what am I going to do today? Oh yeah thats right WHATEVER THE FUCK I FEEL LIKE DOING!!!
(I actually do have responsibilities that need to be taken care of but it is nice to not have to go to class for once)
I graduated too. And now I start grad school. Feels bad man.
Not starting that for a least 1.5 years. I got to pay down the debt I already have and then save some money

Given what we know of the world, of the universe and of existence as a whole, human rights which would exist universally seem like a silly idea. People are a tiny part of the whole, and frankly are completely insignificant compared to the rest of existence. Why do we deserve special rights?
That said, in virtue of our coexistence with ourselves, a necessary coexistence at that, we attain certain duties regarding each other, and we may call those human rights. They exist not universally, but purely as a result of the necessity of our coexistence.

"The scientific method is naturalistic. It denies the supernatural, and declares that all phenomena are traceable to natural causes. It uses as few concepts as possible. The simplest available explanation is preferred, ie., the one that involves the fewest or least completely related concepts that are adequate.
When hydrogen and oxygen combine under certain conditions, water is invariably the result. Science means prediction, and prediction is the basis of control"
