On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense By Friedrich Nietzsche (1873): Aug 5, 8:35am 11 reviews philosophy, nietzsche
http://www.anus.com/zine/db/friedrich_nietzsche/friedrich_nietzsche-on_truth_...; But man has an invincible inclination to allow himself to be deceived and is, as it were, enchanted with happiness when the rhapsodist tells him epic fables as if they were true, or when the actor in the theater acts more royally than any real king. So long as it is able to deceive without injuring, that master of deception, the intellect, is free; it is released from its former slavery and celebrates its Saturnalia. It is never more luxuriant, richer, prouder, more clever and more daring. With creative pleasure it throws metaphors into confusion and displaces the boundary stones of abstractions, so that, for example, it designates the stream as "the moving path which carries man where he would otherwise walk." The intellect has now thrown the token of bondage from itself.

ADVANCED: Jun 17, 10:35am 8 reviews philosophy
http://www.philosophyclass.com/advanced.htm; So if the answer to our topic question is that you cannot ever separate the observer from the observation, then the advice to be objective and unbiased is misguided. Everyone is always biased. Then perhaps our question should be: to what extent can we separate the observer from the observation? In other words, what do we contribute to the observation and what does the thing observed contribution to the observation?

Cabinet Magazine Online - The Porcupine Illusion: May 8, 9:35am 1 review philosophy
http://cabinetmagazine.org/issues/26/prochnik.php; But. Procurpines don't hurt each other, nor do hedgehogs; but, but, but, true or not, even if mere fiction, Schopenhauer's idea gives a name to that special kind of fear, which can't be helped, even if named.

Hedgehogs dilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: May 8, 9:33am 1 review philosophy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog%27s_dilemma; "The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and weak relationships. With the hedgehogs dilemma one is recommended to use moderation in the affairs with others both because it is in self-interest, and also out of consideration for others. The hedgehogs dilemma is used to justify or explain introversion and isolationism."

http://www.nassauweekly.com/view_article.php?id=691: Dec 30, 2007 2:47am 83 reviews philosophy, solipsism
http://www.nassauweekly.com/view_article.php?id=691; "A: I also once chugged vodka for 27 seconds, passed out, didn't throw up, and lived. Q: I have a friend in T.I. who could drink even more than that. A: The vodka was Popov. Q: Oh. A: Now you see." Bragging about amount of alcohol drunk and survived is just pathetic, and doesn't really sound like an argument to the discussion about solipsism. The article explains a bit of the idea, but surely isn't nothing but an introduction, and I've got a vague feeling the author denies himself. But that might be just a feeling; and if solipsism was right - writing that would be something like dissociative identity disorder. I guess.
