23 September, 2006 - Hedonistic Egoism ...

I am hooked on philosophy. Weird, eh? Our philo teacher has opened a completely new dimension to the subject that I find myself totally immersed in it. I appreciate Descartes' cognito ergo sum, I've read all 26 chapters of Machiavelli's The Prince, I am evaluating characters' emotional health based on Psychopathy Checklist-Revised [apparently Sirius Black is REALLY a psychopath, even before Azkaban], I was taking down the number of fallacies made by Sec 2s at an English debate (most of them Abusive Ad Hominem) and I am into the Matrix out of all movies. Sigh. Shall state the PCL-R here for all fellow GEPers to check (Mr. Chong mentioned that smarter people tend to be psychopaths): Glibness/superficial charm Grandiose sense of self-worth Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom Pathological lying Cunning/manipulative Lack of remorse or guilt Shallow affect Callous/lack of empathy Parasitic lifestyle Poor behavioral controls Promiscuous sexual behavior Early behavioral problems Lack of realistic, long-term goals Impulsivity Irresponsibility Failure to accept responsibility for own actions Many short-term marital relationships Juvenile delinquency Revocation of conditional release Criminal versatility I show 12 of the 20 symptoms though if I follow the actual test (look it up at wikipedia) I am NOT a psycho. I wonder how many can tell which the 12 are. BOOKLIST for PHILOSOPHY LOVERS Alice in Wonderland (Through the Looking Glass) by Lewis Carroll The Prince & Discourses on Livy by Niccolo Machiavelli Discourse on Method By Rene Descartes I'm also loving Savage Garden's Crash and Burn

Words of Wisdom

What a ship is, what the Black Pearl really is, is freedom.

That there is some good in this world, and it is worth fighting for.

Evil is a point of view.

Not one of my enemies will die by my hand, which is how I want it.

If there is nothing out there, then what was that sound?

The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return.

The only thing we know is things don't always go the way we planned.

Break me, shake me, hate me, take me over.

No life can escape being blown about by the winds of change and chance.

Hide your face so the world will never find you.

So where has love gone, will I ever reach it?

Is your life just one more lie?

Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself I would break my family's heart.

Follow the white rabbit.

Anything it takes to climb the ladder of success.

But still I cannot see if the savage one is me, how can there be so much that you don't know?

Not because I must, but because I love...

Everything I do; for empathy and revenge. The Slytherin Philosophy - veneratio prius omnis
