·FOREWORD·Ever since I was a child, there has been propaganda presented to me in order to sway me towards a frame of mind that was overly compassionate about the environment and about the world. Revisiting one of my favorite childhood movies led me to realize the strong aversion towards humanity's effect on them. This isn't to say that I have been anti-polarized from this frame of mind, but I

Ever since the radical ideas of Charles Darwin on evolution and natural selection were accepted by the scientific community, we have been studying evolution and looking deeper into the concept. From there, we discovered DNA and genes, invented classification systems for related animals, and are increasingly able to understand the evolutionary tree from which we are coming to believe the roots of

Isn't this the subject of the deepest and most influential efforts of study? Life, The Universe and Everything In It. It seems to summarize such questions as "Why do we exist?", "What is life?", "What is the Universe?", "Why does the Universe exist?", "Is there a beginning?", "Is there an end?" and more. In the past, we looked to mysticism and superstition in order to answer these questions. The

"Pet Peeves!?" you may alert, why would I have such a precise in a blog about grand epistemological collection? Because it has a very philosophical and psychological essence to it all. The things that tend to make my list of pet peeves are things that I find to be anti-existentialist, anti-humanist, anti-scientific and anti-secular, all of which are qualities I believe everyone should have

Hopefully this precise doesn't come off as too much of a rant, but the thoughts behind it certainly were born from the emotions associated with rants. I want to talk about the troubling occurrence of people not having an appropriate balance between relative acceptance and further inquiry. In the field of philosophy, it is common for us to talk about a concept called CHARITABILITY. This is the

In this writing, I seek to explore the idea that certain activities or actions that can be performed by people are not merely part of a subjective merit. The subjective merit is most commonly referred to as "likes" and "dislikes." A person could, for example, enjoy lifting weights at the gym, and because this person likes it, it carries an advantageous subjective merit. On the other hand,

Summary: What are the elements of our lives? Philosophers of the past have uncovered the Master-slave Dialectic, the Will to Power and others. But another aspect which I seek to reveal here is what I call The Proving Grounds. This is a metaphor to describe just one component of our everyday lives. This precise` seeks to uncover the objective truth of our desire to prove ourselves, how it has come

Foreword: A good portion of philosophy is reading the work of all those who've thought about it before now. As I come across different philosophers and specific remarks that they've made, I will update this appendix. Maybe it will help those better understand my positions as this will answer a lot of easy, fundamental questions. (Assumeing you're familar with the relevant remarks listed.)*

It really has never dawned on me until coming here to college, but under the flagged issue of popped-collars, there are two camps. Those for, and those against. Really, I'm not surprised, but what I am surprised about is the nature by which those who are against popped-collars extend their will to try and make it a real issue! This bothers me because it is totally superficial. Many people,

·FOREWORD·As mortal, highly influential and complex beings, we all have weaknesses. No one that has been born in the traditionally biological sense is exempt from this fact. And by direct result of these weaknesses, we often look to find tools, ideas and beliefs, people, places, or methods by which these concepts can affect us in such a way that these weaknesses are either suppressed or

Ahimsa comes from the Hinduism religion and essentially means 'respect for all forms of life'. This is the reason why many Hindus and some other peoples take up practices such as vegetarianism. It stems from the belief that in reincarnation, life is recycled between all living things - it is usually not a requirement of religion, but is a very honored practice as it is one of the only ways to

Hello, and welcome to my blog entitled "Polyology". This is a word I created to describe my studies and conclusions derived from theology, philosophy, sociology, and many other distinguishable studies of thought that exist in our world. Many of the concepts I introduce in some of the blogs are entirely new in nature, and I hope that people can relate to them. I feel that what I write within is
