Philisophical thoughts and random shinanigans. · 4:22am Mar 1st, 2013
I have a question for one of the two people that probably actually watch me. Out of curiosity, what is it that makes a being worthy of any form of moral obligations? What I mean is, not what makes human human, but rather, what is deserving of rights like we have? How do we know that the being itself can actually think and perceptive in the way we do? The being's sensory perception could be a world different from ours, they could have no sense of what we call "art", and they could be entirely utilitarian. So why is it that we always assume it that way in stories? why is it that we always assume alien, or non human ones at the least, think the same way we do? Just a thought I had, would be interesting to see an answer though.
Another interesting thought I had for you, is that, we live in four dimensions. Three spatial, and one temporal. At least, that's what we think. It could be that we have six spatial, or a billion temporal, but it makes the most sense for us to think of it in a linear way with small numbers. Anyway, so the three spatial dimensions are depth, height, and width. Now, it's fairly easy to imagine the fourth dimension, on an intelligent level, and we can imagine how its effects would take hold on us and things like that, but what about another temporal dimension? How would be move through time in two temporal dimensions? Would we be able to move back and forwards on the axis that we normally use?
Also, I was over at my friends house, and we were having a blast when his mom walked in, and I said 'hi', you know, the normal stuff, and she went to do her thing, but I accidentally spoke a few words in German, when she walked back in, and everybody looked confused, but when I explained that it was German, my friend's mom said something very interesting.... I mean, how many adults do you know that are willing to say 'Stop speaking Natzi!' to their child's friend?
Lastly, I am going to re-watch my little pony in German. Yeah, that's right. German. This is going to be fun.
I couldn't follow any of this.
