The God Delusion

So wcreplays (I like live on here lol) had a thread about Richard Dawkins' The God Deluion

I dunno.. it seems to be really popular, but the people it seems to be popular with are these mindless hardcore atheists who just spit one-sided stuff they hear back out...a trait I find contemptible in their opposite counter-parts as well.

I've only read the wikipedia summary and I know that is NOT reliable but just with a general idea I never got interested in it.. I feel like he is making stuff up to support his point(but I'm probably being unfair just cause I don't agree lol)

For example, from wikipedia:

[The roots of morality: why are we good?

In chapter 6, Dawkins turns his attention to the subject of morality, arguing that we do not need religion in order to be good. (I agree)Instead, he maintains that our morality has a Darwinian explanation: altruistic genes have been selected through the process of our evolution, and we possess a natural empathy. (lol WHAT ON EARTH)

Yeah if he wasn't like "well known" I might publicly laugh at his ideas some more but WHO KNOWS MAYBE HE'S RIGHT? But probably not. Most likely not.

BTW, on a kind-of somewhat related subject, I recommend Goleman's Emotional Intelligence - a classic

humaneness

so I saw this featured blog on the front page:

http://www.xanga.com/Ian24601/597314098/a-world-worth-fighting-for.html

quote: "Hemingway was wrong when he said the world is a fine place. It’s rotten and sick. "

Sad. But at least the 'worth fighting for' part redeems it in my mind.

And sometimes it is the most unfortunate of all, the ones who most suffer that are able to see the beauty, while the ones who recite "count your blessings" forget to put it into practice.


The habit of seeing the world as bad and ugly makes the world bad and ugly.

337 The "humaneness" of the future -
When I contemplate the present age with the eyes of some remote age, I can find nothing more remarkable in present-day humanity than its distinctive virtue and disease which goes by the name of "the historical sense." This is the beginning of something altogether new and strange in history: If this seed should be given a few centuries and more, it might ultimately become a marvelous growth with an equally marvelous scent that might make our old earth more agreeable to live on. We of the present day are only just beginning to form the chain of a very powerful feeling, link for link-we hardly know what we are doing. It almost seems to us as if it were not a matter of a new feeling rather a decrease in all old feelings; the historical sense is still so poor and cold, and many people are attacked by it as by frost and made still poorer and colder. To others it appears as a sign of stealthily approaching old age, and they see our planet as a melancholy invalid who wants to forget its present condition and therefore writes the history of his youth, of a lover deprived of his beloved, of the martyr whose ideal is perishing, of the hero after a battle that has decided nothing but brought him wounds and the loss of his friend. But if one endured, if one could this immense sum of grief of all kinds while yet being the hero who, as the second day of battle breaks, welcomes the dawn and his fortune, being a person whose horizon encompasses thousands of years past and future, being the heir of all the nobility of all past spirit-an heir with a sense of obligation, the most aristocratic of all old nobles and at the same time the first of a new nobility-the like of which no age has yet seen or dreamed of; if one could burden one's soul with all of this- the oldest, the newes, losses, hopes, conquests, and the victories of humanity; if one could finally contain all this in one soul and crowd it into a single feeling- this would surely have to result in a happiness that humanity has not known so far: the happiness of a god full of power and love, full of tears and laughter, a happiness that, like the sun in the evening, continually bestows its inexhaustible riches, pouring them into the sea, feeling richest, as the sun does, only when even the poorest fisherman is still rowing with golden oars! This godlike feeling would then be called-humaneness.

Long Live Physics

"How many people know how to observe something? Of the few who do—how many observe themselves? "Everybody is farthest away from himself;" all who try the reins know this to their chagrin; and the maxim "know thyself!" addressed to human beings by a god, is almost malicious. That the case of self-observation is indeed as desperate as that is attested best of all by the manner in which almost everybody talks about the essence of moral actions, this quick, eager, convinced, and garrulous manner with its expression, its smile, and its obliging ardor! One seems to have the wish to say to you: "But my dear friend, precisely this is my specialty! You have directed your question to the one person who is entitled to answer you: as it happens, there is nothing about which I am as wise about as this. To come to the point: when a human being judges 'this is right' and then infers 'therefore it must be done!' and then proceeds to do what he has thus recognized as right and designated as necessary,—then the essence of his action is moral."

But my friend, you are speaking of three actions instead of one: when you judge "this is right," that is an action, too,—might it not be possible that one could judge in a moral and in an immoral manner? Why do you consider this, precisely this, right?—

"Because this is what my conscience tells me; and the voice of conscience is never immoral, for it alone determines what is to be moral!"—

But why do you listen to the voice of your conscience? And what gives you the right to consider such a judgment true and infallible? For this faith—is there no conscience for that? Have you never heard of an intellectual conscience? A conscience behind your "conscience"? Your judgment "that is right" has a prehistory in your instincts, likes, dislikes, experiences, and lack of experiences. "How did it originate there?" you must ask, and then also: "What is it that impels me to listen to it?" You can listen to its commands like a good soldier who hears his officer's command. Or like a woman who loves the man who commands. Or like a flatterer and coward who is afraid of the commander. Or like a dunderhead who obeys because no objection occurs to him. In short, there are a hundred ways in which you can listen to your conscience. But that you take this or that judgment for the voice of conscience, in other words, that you feel something to be right, may be due to the fact that you have never thought much about yourself and simply have accepted blindly that what you had been told ever since your childhood was right: or it may be due to the fact that what you call your duty has up to this point brought you sustenance and honors,—and you consider it "right" because it appears to you as your own "condition of existence" (and that you have a right to existence seems irrefutable to you!).

For all that, the firmness of your moral judgment could be evidence of your personal abjectness, of impersonality, your "moral strength" might have its source in your stubbornness—or in your inability to envisage new ideals. And, briefly: if you had thought more subtly, observed better, and learned more, you certainly would not go on calling this "duty" of yours and this "conscience" of yours duty and conscience: your understanding of the manner in which moral judgments have originated would spoil these grand words for you, just as other grand words like "sin," "salvation of the soul," and "redemption" have been spoiled for you.— And now don't cite the categorical imperative, my friend!—this term tickles my ear and makes me laugh despite your serious presence: it makes me think of old Kant who had obtained the "thing in itself" by stealth—another very ridiculous thing!—and was punished for this when the "categorical imperative" crept stealthily into his heart and led him astray back to "God," "soul," "freedom," and "immortality," like a fox who loses his way and goes astray back into his cage:—yet it had been his strength and cleverness that had broken open the cage!

What? You admire the categorical imperative within you? This "firmness" of your so-called moral judgment? This "unconditional" feeling that "here everyone must judge as I do"? Rather admire your selfishness at this point! And the blindness, pettiness, and frugality of your selfishness! For it is selfish to experience one's own judgment as a universal law; and this selfishness is blind, petty, and frugal because it betrays that you have not yet discovered yourself nor created for yourself an ideal of your own, your very own:—for that could never belong to somebody else and much less to all, to all!

Anyone who still judges "in this case everybody would have to act like this" has not yet taken five steps toward self-knowledge: otherwise he would know that there neither are nor can be actions that are the same,—that every action that has ever been done was done in an altogether unique and irretrievable way, and that this will be true of every future action,—that all regulations about actions relate only to their coarse exterior (and even the most inward and subtle regulations of all moralities so far),—that these regulations may lead to some semblance of sameness, but really only to some semblance,—that as one contemplates or looks back upon any action at all, it is and remains impenetrable,—that our opinions about "good," "noble," "great" can never be proved true by our actions because every action is unknowable,—that our opinions, valuations, and tables of what is good certainly belong among the most powerful levers in the involved mechanism of our actions, but that in any particular case the law of their mechanism is indemonstrable.

Let us therefore limit ourselves to the purification of our opinions and valuations and to the creation of our own new tables of values:—and let us stop brooding about the "moral value of our actions"! Yes, my friends, regarding all the moral chatter of some about others it is time to feel nauseous! Sitting in moral judgment should offend our taste! Let us leave such chatter and such bad taste to those who have nothing else to do but drag the past a few steps further through time and who never live in the present,—which is to say the many, the great majority! We, however, want to become who we are,—the new, unique, incomparable ones, who give themselves their own laws, who create themselves! And to that end we must become the best learners and discoverers of everything that is lawful and necessary in the world: we must become physicists in order to be able to be creators in this sense,—while hitherto all valuations and ideals have been based on ignorance of physics or were constructed so as to contradict it. Therefore: long live physics! And even more so that which compels us to turn to physics,—our honesty!"

note: physics meaning, anti-metaphysics.

What I Dislike, #1?

I dislike having to explain my jokes and say "I wasn't serious," especially since it was my intention to be subtle all along. It is not half as humorous when the joker needs to state that he was joking; but to be misunderstood - this is far worse.

And it was not until the last year or two I learned that my "ironic humor," which is what I called it for lack of a name and what others may call "sarcasm," has this funny phrase that people use to describe it: "tongue-in-cheek."

It's quite unfortunate that the dead are not here to say they were joking.
