Philosophy Questions
Love or money which is better?
Love. Money is waaaay overrated.
Why are fools and fanatics always so certain of themselves, but wiser people are full of doubts?
Doesn't that imply that you are certain, that fools and fanatics are certain of themselves? So which one are you?
What is the fundamental flaw in human nature? Pride - or greed?
I'd be more inclined to believe that thinking pride and greed are bad things, is a fundamental flaw.
Why do all good things come to an end?
Bad things come to an end, just as often. But, good things ending are more obvious, because good things are missed, whereas bad things are not.
If you could change gender for one day, would you do it?
Yeah, but I'd spend the whole day trying to pick up chicks, so there'd really be no difference.
Would you kill one person to save a thousand?
It depends on who the one is, and who the thousand is. If you mean random people, then yes. It is for the greater good. Tough question, though. Not something I could say I'd never change my mind on, either.
What does death feel like?
Death doesn't feel like anything. It's dying that hurts like a beeyotch.
How do you gain wisdom and knowledge?
Wisdom = reason + experience... Knowledge = a book, t.v., internet
Is it wrong to love yourself?
No, but I also have things that I can't stand about myself, just like any other relationship I have.
Are you important? Do you really matter?
To my family and I, yes. Same answer.
Are we obsessed with all the wrong things in this world?
The people like what the people like, because the people like it. There is no rhyme or reason behind it.
To live forever; a blessing or curse?
Blessing, as long as I'm not physically aging, and impervious to all harm. I definitely might end up regretting it, but if given the choice, I'd choose "YES."
What is more important to you: Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do, or maximizing happiness, even though that may not involve doing the right thing?
It is better to be good, than to be happy.
Do we have a "right" to be happy?
No.
If people fear the unknown, then what is curiosity?
To be human, is to be curious. It is intrinsic.
If given the choice, would you sacrifice innocence in exchange for wisdom?
Yes. 'Innocence' is just a cute way of saying ignorant and naive.
Deep down, do you think everyone has evil inside them, laying dormant? Does it just come out through our actions, perhaps triggered by others?
Mine is not dormant.
What is preferable truth or compassion?
Truth.
Do you believe that the majority of people in the world form their beliefs for themselves based upon what they feel, know, and experience, or do most people just believe based on what they want to believe or are told to believe? Either way, why?
Keep it pithy.
What do you feel you are entitled to in life?
Entitlement.
Is life serious?
Some of it is. Some of it isn't.
Does everything in the world have an opposite?
I don't think hair does. At least, I can't think of one.
If it was never illegal, would you have killed someone by now?
That is an assumption that I haven't, yet.
