There wouldn't be such a thing as philosophy if no controversy was involved, now would there? That's part of the fun.

Being a fan of German movies, I'm going to go with Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others) or Die Welle (The Wave). Both are rather notably non-uplifting.

Yes, any notion of benevolent autocracy kind of falls apart when paired with any kind of secular philosophy. Without divine right, putting another inherently flawed human being above all the other inherently flawed beings and thinking things will work themselves out is flat-out absurd. I can't...

Hmm. Well I believe Hobbes to have an almost correct in his interpretation of human nature. Where my opinion diverges is that humans are intrinsically egoistic, and it is that egoism which most often is the motive for "malignant" actions, rather than people being base and vile in and of...

Well, I must say, existential philosophy would be a fun one.

Okay, I think I'll probably be able to manage that.

I am interested in joining, but I am generally rather busy and I'm not sure I'll be able to post too often so that I can keep up with everything/that it flows well for you guys.

I hope it's not too late for me to comment. I kind of understand where you're coming from, being someone who is completely socially incompetent and has the emotional capacity of a robot, so naturally developing relationships is complicated. Relationships can often seem pointless and needlessly...

Although, if we're being really specific with it, what you're referring to as kind of a "mob rule" kind of thing is direct democracy, whereas the United States is a representative democracy (or rather, supposedly), otherwise referred to as a republic. Of course, its legislation is bound to the...

This may be a little late to the station, but: I would be more hesitant to label our government an oligarchy; it's more of a plutocracy than anything. The way I view things, we are largely limited to a very binary set of candidates, who are usually born into wealthy families and hence will...

Vanis and Linea exited the maw of the massive coliseum, stemming off the stream of people to stand flanking the broad metallic archway. The crowd steadily inched along, cacophonous with winding-down excitement accentuated by delinquency. Their was a certain uncomfortable business about...

Vanis followed Linea as she parted the dense, uproarious crowd of the Pit. The normally lucid interconnections of the Force seemed muddled here, chaotic. And even further discomforting, it seemed like an ironic place for people like them. Even among the vast assortment of the crowd the two...

I'd personally prefer to let someone else take the first shot at it, but if no one else wants to take the role, I will for the sake of getting things started.

House Orianne Ever Higher

Victor looked with appall at such a display of affection between a mere elf and a wizard. His scowl faded as the Auror looked back toward him, a perhaps vain attempt to keep conflict to a minimum. Penelope was quick to offer Gartley hospitality on Lyssa's command, prompting another look of...

"I'll play along," Victor muttered, keeping the words just intelligible enough for the Auror to understand. "Try not to get too friendly with anyone when we're there, Gartley," he continued incisively. The house elf simply nodded, his head rested in a humble bow. The death eater returned a nod...
