whakahekeheke: Humans are superior animals. Viva speciesism.

whakahekeheke:

Human beings are unique. You are not mere animals. People are special.

True…

We tend to (correctly) identify

  • “intellect”
  • “ethics”
  • “planning”
  • “second-order desires”
  • “complex written language”
  • “art”
  • “theory of mind”

and other characteristics as categorically distinguishing

Here’s Rachael, who makes her debut in this image.
Hi, Rachael!
Don’t be fooled by the psychedelic colors. Rachael is actually quite reserved, which is why she only lets you see half of her face. You might want to make her feel welcome.
Welcome, Rachael! Wonderful to have you! If there’s anything you need, just let us know!
Thank you. That should do it.

The animal is violent. Human beings who are the result of the animal, are also violent; it is part of their being to be violent, to be angry, to be jealous, to be envious, to seek power, position, prestige and all the rest of it, to dominate, to be aggressive. Man is violent -this is shown by thousands of wars and he has developed an ideology which he calls non-violence. And when there is actual violence as a war between this country and the next country, everybody is involved in it. They love it. Now, when you are actually violent and you have an ideal of nonviolence, you have a conflict. You are always trying to become nonviolent which is a part of the conflict. You discipline yourself in order not to be violent which, again, is a conflict, friction. So when you are violent and have the ideal of non-violence, you are essentially violent. To realize that you are violent is the first thing to do, not try to become non-violent. To see violence as it is, not try to translate it, not to discipline it, not to overcome it, not to suppress it, but to see it as though you are seeing it for the first time, that is to look at it without any thought. I have explained already what we mean by looking at a tree with innocence which is to look at it without the image. In the same way, you have to look at violence without the image that is involved in the word itself. To look at it without any movement of thought is to look at it as though you are looking at it for the first time, and therefore looking at it with innocence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti - The Book of Life (via adsertoris)



The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by governments.
Ludwig von Mises (via plutarchandi)

I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind – that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking.


I believe that no discovery of fact, however trivial, can be wholly useless to the race, and that no trumpeting of falsehood, however virtuous in intent, can be anything but vicious.


I believe that all government is evil, in that all government must necessarily make war upon liberty…


I believe that the evidence for immortality is no better than the evidence of witches, and deserves no more respect.


I believe in the complete freedom of thought and speech…


I believe in the capacity of man to conquer his world, and to find out what it is made of, and how it is run.


I believe in the reality of progress.


I – But the whole thing, after all, may be put very simply. I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than be ignorant.
