I want to apologise again for the jargon and maybe the unfamiliar mathematical/logical notation. I think this an interesting way of valuing people, as thanks to Kant we value freedom so much.

After righting about compatiblism for a while I reread the groundwork and thought I should write this up just in case anyone was lost on the answer for ethics. Sorry in advance for the jargon, it is Kant in fairness :)

Why are we moral relativists?

date icon Released: Jan 5, 2025

date icon Location: Hong Kong

Cultural relativism makes no sense, but then why is it so common? I think the answer is subjective realism, which I don't know if is a new term I made up but is probably my favourite piece of writing in a long time.

Unfinished/expired ideas

Ideas for projects and essays that are no longer mine to write and that I wrote down to do. Look at the article of the same name for more info.

Essays that should be written

Political analysis of CBT, why is the philosophical foundation of CBT. What is it doing to individuals as political agents. A think enforcing the acceptance or moral relativism and create servility (weakness) need proof.

Feb 7th 2025

Look at Idols of the Mind by Francis Bacon to form an objective scientific method (meditative epistemology).

Jan 29th, 2025

Revaluate Margaret Little's argument against cosmetic surgery.

Oct 1st, 2024

Dante's inferno but using the planets as rings of hell. A little prince journey for the examination of sin. This is a fiction book.

July 25th, 2024

Is hedonism the ethic for productivity or success in a finical sense?

July 11th, 2024

Using Ikagi (the book) and neuroscience to demonstrate that change is a good thing.

July 22th, 2024

Procedural memory and trauma, or just what memory store (part of the brain) is trauma encoded in?

June 3rd, 2024

Breaking bad - a negative view on ethics and breaking apart every bad. Idk it's a cool name.

May 8th, 2024

How do we fix lethargy in consumer decisions making? Or how do we make a marketing campaign against apathy?

May 11th, 2024

Can we deduce a hierarchy of ethics from the trolley problems, and it's variation?

May 5th, 2024

Is owning physical media (movies, books, etc) the primary fight against the monopolisation of media by big Netflix, HBO, Disney etc. Something in line with the power of Jellyfish.

March 11th, 2024

Critical analysis of nursery rhymes as moral artefacts, like how Homer was used in the dialectic of enlightenment.

How do we grow as people without self commodification (Marxist sense) I think this was after reading the Early Manuscripts or Marx

March 28th, 2023

March 10th, 2023

Construct a proof against 'On Being Lazy', I kinda did in my god or nature is unproductive but a more holistic proof against laziness as a fight against capital.

March 3rd, 2023

Is masculinity, meaning assertive and otherwise traditionally masculine attributes (in a Western Context) necessary to flourish under capitalism. To put it another way beyond Marx's one page mentioning that the 'second sex' is the original exploited class for the culture created to suppress them into the labour of child bearing, does modern neoliberal capitalism enforce the same same sexist ethic?

July 7th 2023

Write up a utilitarian argument against closed source software, as well as a deontological argument. I have been thinking about this for years now and probably have the tools to, but have not gotten around to it because every argument ends up being a critique of private property. It is possible that I can avoid critical theory (it is not a very popular thesis as it is quite sad) if I just focus on ancient and modern philosophy, no time tho

Jan 1st 2020

Project that should be done

Was grazing reddit and once again checked https://www.reddit.com/best/communities/1/, I want to do something for this for analysis of the western conciousness. Obs this ⊆ of humanity so not the picture of the popular will of humanity, but reddit is kinda the last bastin of human connection online (obs half the shit is fake) and looking at them we could extract a metaphysical picture of interest (will kinda).

Use NLP to isolate and code what is authentical Socrates, Plato and Xenophon (and technically Aristophanes but it was a satire) are the only living records we have of Socrates. Plato's philosophy is distinct from Socrates and using him as he used him as a character, much like Aristophanes, in his late works we can not tell when we stop getting a true depiction of Socrates. Someone should use some NLP to dissect Xenophon and Plato's writings on Aristotle to attempt the saying of Socrates

Feb 5th, 2025

Make a game where lethargy is the enemy, fatigue becomes the main obstacle and the player has to force the character to push forward despite his objections. Kinda an attempt at ludonarrative dissonance.
