Ten questions in October 2011

[Jerome Denis Andre]

1. How was your summer?
Having to learn greek, and despair, as it is imposible to remember all the dammned irregular aorist-formes of the verbes ending with "-μι".
Having to fend off wrong accusations by strange persons.
Etc.

This summer was NOT a nice one. It really wasn't

2. When completely off the road, remember to bring ... ?
A knife.

3. Do you follow the yellow brick road?
O_O ?

4. Do you believe in String theory? Why and to what consequence?
I am really not familiar enough with that theory to answer this question.

5. Have you ever had the feeling, that the world has gone and left you behind?

"My name, Ray, is Buck. Buck Williams. I have been Left Behind to fight Carpathia. Look! They even made movies
and a very 'christian' PC-Game about our struggle. And, Ray, I fucked Chloe, your daughter. Before Marriage.
But please do not tell the mighty reader."

;-)

6. There are three things you like most in the world, which are ... ?

Faith. Love. Hope.

7. Shall be blesseth those who are poor in spirit, and is theirs the kingdom of heaven?

[...] Bei aller Ehre zum Christentum, ich bin der Meinung, dass das Paradies jenen zustehen sollte, die die Welt verbessern, egal ob sie dumm oder schlau sind.[...]

...

You do NOT have to be stupid, to be able to go to heaven; NOT EVEN THIS VERSE OF THE BIBLE CLAIMS THAT (!).
The original greek text of the bible here says "πτωχοι τω πνευματι", which means "poor in spirit". BUT the used word "πνευμα" does NOT mean "Spirit / Mind".
(If it meant that, probably the word "ψυχη", or something like that, would have been used.) It ACTUALLY means "Spirit / Air / Breeze of God / Holy Spirit",
so this verse is better to be translated with something like " (...) those who are poor, for the holy spirit's sake (...)"

8. Are there moments, when you feel superior to others? When?

Very few, if at all.

9. According to your opinion: How are your English skills by the way?

Acceptable.

10. Are human rights rationally allegeable? Feel free to elaborate.

Well, that depends on whether you have a transcendental cause of all moral, at least as a postulate, or not.
If you didn't, then ( taking the evolution theory into account) Nietzsche would be right, and there was no reason to be morally,
at least when you were able to manage to get away with beeing not morally.

[Mordechaj]

1. How was your summer?
Actually quite nice, since I was able to find and move into this amazing flat, now living together with two not less amazing people. And I got to be lazy for like two months, which means a lot.

2. When completely off the road, remember to bring ... ?
... a very good book to read.

3. Do you follow the yellow brick road?
Not even slightly. I'm as far off that road as could be.

4. Do you believe in String theory? Why and to what consequence?
I actually enjoy the idea of it, but I reached a point where I find it quite difficult to affirm theories about what else there is beside our own space and reality. And I have to admit that parts of these kind of theories are beyond what I can imagine and explain to myself.

5. Have you ever had the feeling, that the world has gone and left you behind?
Without these angel eyes, yes I do.

6. There are three things you like most in the world, which are ... ?
Human, world and life's absurdness.

7. Shall be blesseth those who are poor in spirit, and is theirs the kingdom of heaven?
I honestly believe so. Even as a non-Christian.

8. Are there moments, when you feel superior to others? When?
There are quite a few, and at times I feel ashamed for every single one of them. But not as often.
I feel superior, when people ask stupid questions and when they take themselves too seriously. Taking oneself seriously surely isn't wrong or unhealthy, but deeming every single flaw of one's personality a kind of fortitude definitely is.

9. According to your opinion: How are your English skills by the way?
It is funny that I ask that question there, because my own English skills alter from day to day. And while they could be way better if it wasn't for my slothfulness (which I resent), they are still the best I've got.

10. Are human rights rationally allegeable? Feel free to elaborate.
I frankly don't think they are. They are more or less a consensus gentium, based on scientifically confirmed facts.
This is, in fact and truth, the reason why they are so utterly valuable and should be defended with all our might.
