“If it turns out that physical death truly results in the absolute cessation of consciousness, then it would seem to me that in the grand truth of things, every human who has ever lived, who has not committed every minute of their lives toward an effort in finding a cure for mortality, has died as an utter and miserable failure.” IfsLifeHumansSeemsTurnsResultsEffortConsciousnessMinutesFindingsDiedAbsolutesCommittedCuresMiserableMortality Author:Derek R.

“It would seem to me that If this physical life, of which we are now aware, does indeed comprise the entirety of human experience, then what we seem to intuitively know to be true is entirely backwards. For if this is the case, then it must be the despicable tyrant, free of any moral values, and not the selfless compassionate who sacrifices himself for the good of mankind that is truly the one most deserving of our reverence and emulation.” IfsKnowsLifeHumansDoeSeemsValuesMoralCasesSacrificeMankindBeing TrueCompassionateTyrantsReverenceSelflessBackwardsHuman ExperienceDeservingDespicableMoral ValuesEntiretyEmulation Author:Derek R.

“In a world where God does not exist, any reasonable person must see that the propensity toward selfishness should be the most venerated of all human traits. From this it stands to reason that any man, knowing the total expanse of his existence to be finite, who does not devote every moment of his life to acts of pure selfishness, must be seen as nothing more than a fool.” MenWorldLifeShouldHumansPersonsDoeReasonMomentsExistenceKnowingFoolPureSelfishnessReasonableTraitsFinitePropensityExpanse Author:Derek R.

“There is one great truth in western politics that I have been able to see, and that is this: The more left wing your political ideals are, the more naive a person you are likely to be. The more right wing your political ideals are, the more evil a person you are likely to be. Choosing a political standpoint is largely a matter of deciding which failure as a human you are more comfortable with.” HumansPersonsHas BeensMatterAblePoliticalEvilPoliticsLeftComfortableIdealsWingsWesternNaiveRight WingStandpointLeft Wing Author:Derek R.
