Philosophy
Thus Spake Zarathustra Review
Nietzsche's philosophical novel was an amazing read. At the time I began to read it, I hadn't really been captivated by a novel since the Harry Potter series (which I love) and I found most fantasy stories to be really boring. I didn't expect much at the time, it was mostly curiosity in relation to the game. I suspected that I'd find it boring. To my surprise, it was initially quite a laughable read.

Criticizing Islam is an Act of Compassion
Criticizing Islam is not intolerant, it isn't bigoted, it isn't racist, and it isn't done out of ignorance or hate. If you believe any of those things, please consider the perspective of those who have left the religion of Islam. Watch any of these videos, just one, or two, or all; whatever you want. Just … Continue reading Criticizing Islam is an Act of Compassion
Review of Unifying Hinduism by Andrew Nicholson: Errors in Reasoning
Although I'd like to praise this work, as I largely liked Nicholson's analyses and enjoyed reading some of them, I'm compelled by my own academic standards to give Unifying Hinduism a negative review. First, let me just say that for the average reader that this book will possibly satisfy interest in examining interesting parts about … Continue reading Review of Unifying Hinduism by Andrew Nicholson: Errors in Reasoning

Western Philosophy Sucks
After trying to read alternative philosophical perspectives apart from Friedrich Nietzsche, I have come to the sad conclusion that Nietzsche's rather blunt and extreme opposition to Western schools of thought may have been entirely justified. Despite the unrepentant mockery and hatred that Nietzsche gets for highlighting existential crises, all he really did was point out … Continue reading Western Philosophy Sucks
If you want to promote Philosophy, challenge religion
Philosophy majors are having an increasingly more difficult time in protecting their major from scrutiny and outright vilification because philosophy is perceived as a useless endeavor that accomplishes nothing of value and provides nothing of value for others. Yet, a central issue that seems to remain unchallenged from those who attempt to remain politically correct, … Continue reading If you want to promote Philosophy, challenge religion
Lying by Sam Harris
This book is, by far, one of the silliest that I've ever read. Sam Harris makes bold claims about how lying is always morally wrong and goes so far as to argue that a college lesson by a professor influenced him into realizing that lying is always wrong. Harris actually claims that even in the … Continue reading Lying by Sam Harris
North Country: Why Feminist values should be praised
North Country "From the first years to which my memory stretches, I have been a disappointed woman. In education, in marriage, in religion, in everything, disappointment is the lot of woman. It shall be the business of my life to deepen this disappointment in every woman's heart until she bows down to it no longer." … Continue reading North Country: Why Feminist values should be praised
Limits of Discourse: Is Sam Harris an Atheist Crusader?
Source: http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-limits-of-discourse In a bizarre email exchange with Noam Chomsky, Sam Harris avoided ethical questions about President Bill Clinton’s bombing of the Sudanese pharmaceutical building, which resulted in a massive death toll and refugee crisis, to frame the discourse in terms of President Clinton’s intentions for the bombings. While Chomsky was pointing out the facts … Continue reading Limits of Discourse: Is Sam Harris an Atheist Crusader?
Schopenhauer’s book “The Wisdom of Life”
Schopenhauer’s book “The Wisdom of Life” is pretentious garbage. Nietzsche’s assessment of Schopenhauer, which seemed altogether extreme, turned out to be correct. Schopenhauer was a nihilist of the most lamentable sort – you read that right: Schopenhauer was a nihilist that was more lamentable than traditional nihilism. The framework of Schopenhauer’s “The Wisdom of Life” … Continue reading Schopenhauer’s book “The Wisdom of Life”
