The Ontological Boy

Bertrand Russell wrote in My Philosophical Development: It was toward the end of 1892 that Moore and I rebelled against both Kant and Hegel. Moore led the way, but I followed closely in his footsteps. I think the first published account of the new philosophy was Moore’s article in Mind on ‘The Nature of Judgment’ … I felt … a great liberation, as if I had escaped from a hot house onto a windswept headland … in the first exuberance of liberation, I became a naïve realist and rejoiced in the thought that grass really is green.

"A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people."

–Thomas Mann

The agnostic: οὕτως ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἷ καὶ οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματος μου. Rev. 3:16

Cut it up!

"My dear Gladys!" cried Lord Henry. "How can you say that? Romance lives by repetition, and repetition converts an appetite into an art. Besides, each time that one loves is the only time one has ever loved. Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion. It merely intensifies it. We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible." The Picture of Dorian Gray

6141 One more thought about Voluntary Anarchism (I really do want to stop thinking about this) and their Principle of Non-aggression, or not wanting to be coerced into paying taxes. Sometimes they call it love of family. They want freedom they say; they will not steal from the government and the government should not steal from them. Their freedom is freedom from theft. They want to keep what they have and live securely in their own private domain. Yes, what they are after is not freedom to do, but the security of freedom from worry about losing it all. I think they have a strong sense that everything they have could disappear in a flash. Security is paramount. A quiet, secure family life. Except that their kids are probably going to grow up and demand money and there it goes.
