When you become real with yourself and those you meet, it will take a while to gain respect. But that respect will be real and not skin deep.

This is philosophy

Humans are able to believe. Philosophy is how we do it.

We have choice. We can choose. We can choose our philosophy.

You can believe in myths and legends or you can believe in what is there.

Believing in what is there is hard enough without myths and legends.

Why not give it a go?

Start with ‘what is’.

Decide what you want.

Check it exists or can be made.

Either way, decide you can get it.

Go and get it.

Ethics

Ethics is a concept. Ethics are not real.

What is ethical in one country or one place or for one human being, is often unethical in another country, or another place, or for another human being.

Ethics is made by humans. Ethics lives in the land of myths and legends.

You are free to choose to do what you want.

The only constraints come from nature and other human beings.

Rights

There is only one right worth fighting for. Your right to your life.

If someone constrains that right in any way, they are breaking your right.

If someone breaks your right, and they believe in the right to their own life, they are also breaking their own right.

If you do not believe your life is worth fighting for. This right is not for you.

Politics

Politics is the study of force.

Politics is used to constrain people.

We need politics because our nature is to herd.

Humans who break our rights break our herd.

Politics protects us from such people.

Politics can also be forced on people. Be aware.

Aesthetics

Aesthetics is the study of change.

Whatever we see, hear or feel is not fixed in stone.

We can choose to change any of these things.

Aesthetics asks the question: What is possible?

Metaphysics

The study of existence.

What is, is. What can be done, can be done.

The only limit is time.

Time is a concept. Be wary of concepts.

Epistemology

The study of knowledge.

How do we know something is?

All things remain myth and legend until proved.

Everything that is subjective is opinion.

Opinion is not real.

Philosophy

This is philosophy.

No more is required.

What is, is. What can be done, can be done.

What are you going to do?
