As an Exception, You Always Should

Greetings once again! One week from now, I shall (hopefully) be in the States! Work in the warehouse and in the lab continues to go well... the balancing act is definitely... interesting... for having to try to make sure both my employers are happy with the hours and days I work. It's funny, when Professor Steele found out I was working in the

KING'S QUEST VI.

DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME, DOES SOMEBODY SHARE MY NERDY CHILDHOOD LOVE FOR THE KING'S QUEST SERIES.

Did you know there were multiple ways to complete the game? And, did you make it to the Land of the Dead? Not crucial to completing the game, but sweet, and it's impossible to gain a perfect score without it.

On another note, I did Nietzsche for an ISU awhile ago, part of which featured his notion of the Ubermensch. It's interesting, but the ubermensch is ultimately incompatible with mainstream society. Plus, the idea of an ubermensch is totally incoherent as a moral philosophy - it's neither normative nor descriptive. What the hell is the ubermensch as a moral agent anyway?

Yes, I too love the King's Quest series... it's great to recognize another fan!

Yeah, I went in to the Land of the Dead. I can't remember if I had a perfect score, but I'm pretty sure I got the happiest ending! I think that was my first real computer game... it's etched in to my memory now ;) I'm getting a friend to play it, so it's fun reliving it through her!

I think it's an interesting concept... and I think the next shift, or next evolution people have to make is a spiritual or moral evolution. It seems to me that Nietzsche couldn't find the basis for morality, and he fell in to entirely interpretation.

[i_am_the_owl]

It's a moral evolution; it's accepting the responsibility for existance and all aspects therein (including, ironically, traditional evolution).

But, please Eris no, not a spiritual revolution.

[zorander22]

For me it's part of the same... that at the heart of much spirituality, or at least religion now... is a question of morality. Many religions believe they have different answers... the moral revolution (and at least religious revolution) is recognizing the basis of this morality, as well as a number of other things.

You can have morality (and a moral revolution) without spirituality. This is what I would like to see happen.
