Marcus was a friend. So I’ll take that as a compliment.

The only person I hold in special regards is koods and thats only because I think he might actually be suffering some kind of psychosis
That's a special type of discrimination

I you studied philosophy, you would know nothing has intrinsic value anyway
Let nihilism set you free, my brother
This is the perfect example of an irrational (and contradictory) metaphysic in action.
If you studied philosophy you'd understand why you concede your entire position/argument just by making this post.

I love bunnies

but I've also sat by the Lachine Canal in the wee hours of the morning watching a Heron hunt fish and my distinction in their prey's right to live based on my measures of cuteness does not bear out on the wider world

I'm just posting some vids for anyone who happens to be reading the thread and is open to critical viewpoints. I don't really care much to discuss at this point as the bulk of members here seem to be pretty status quo on basically everything, and if I have a problem with trite philosophy on life then I'm just doing things like "projecting"

Please explain
I actually did study philosophy and have an MA in Philosphical Antropology, but English is not my native language so maybe Im missing some sublte meaning.
To me the realisation that nothing has intrincic value is liberating as it means that I can decide for myself what is important in (my) life. Actions based on owns belief of what is right and wrong are more sincere imo. But I never forget that what is right/wrong for me is totally subjective. As I believe it is for everybody but not everybody is willing to see that.
I know plenty of people who see the absence of intrinsic value as something terrible. For some reason most of these people are vegetarians
-------------------- Ach en wee ben ik de klos, met mijn boog schoot ik een albatros... A philosopher is a person who knows less and less about more and more, until he knows nothing about everything.
