New Tattoo
A new bit of body-art.

Like all good bits of art, there are layers of meaning in there for those who know where to look. I'll leave that to the viewer to comprehend.
Really am looking forward to that trip to Oregon in a weeks time. Can't wait to hang out with Chelsea and Sven for an entire week+. I really am looking forward to sitting down with Sven and going over the things we've missed in each-others life.
Hung out with Dave the other night, which is always good for a bit of a lark. Talked about philosophy, politics, and religion over the course of several drinks, which definitely is a fun time. He brought up some interesting questions regarding my world-view which bare looking into. I'll put them up here so I don't forget to return to them some time in the near future.
A good portion of my beleif centers around the fact that, as sentient creatures, humans have the right to individual agency. We worked it out as such:
P -> Q
Q -> R
P -> R
Where P is Humans, Q is sentience, and R is personal agency. The question being, and maybe I'm extracting this a bit as I don't remember the conversation in its entirety and am a bit into my cups right now, is P -> R begging the question? Because I'm taking on faith that sentient creatures deserve personal agency, and that humans are the only sentient creatures on this planet. It might seem like a rather simplistic distinction, and that is how I approach the issue, but on a philosophic level it bares a bit more fleshing out to really cement it as a concrete concept. Or I might be misrepresenting the argument entirely. I should get to sleep and return to this in the future.
