I do not agree with SOPA, I do not think you should support it. But I am not going to transfer my domain names away from you because of that political stance you have taken even though it is incredibly harmful to the internet and to freedom of speech. I would have thought you would have known better. And the ire of your customers is deserved. However, if we stopped using the services of every company that had poor political attitudes or bad sexist commercials there would not be many left and we would have constant political correctness exercises. However, I have been giving you money for my many domain names for a long time, and so I think I am a pretty good customer of yours, and chose you because of your support of Todd Cochrane. So I want to try to persuade you that both your commercials that are chauvinist and your political opinions concerning SOPA are both in bad taste and wrong, and I think you should reconsider them. But if we chastise you and refuse to do buisness with you due to your your freespeech then we are no better than you, and your support of SOPA which will destroy the internet as we know it. You cannot support freespeech by punishing others for their free speech and their political opinions. But I seriously want to suggest you reconsider, because if SOPA does go through I think you are going to see your customers turn even further against you. I was shocked to hear your supported it. I just don't know what you are thinking. Please reconsider your position.

Stanley Rosen's book Nihilism

Stanley Rosen's Nihilism is a key book for understanding the nature of the Western Worldview. Both Heidegger and Nietzsche make Nihilism a center piece of their philosophies. Rosen pursues the nature of nihilism by contrasting the philosophies of Heidegger and Wittgenstein as Nihilistic opposites. Nihilism was originally coined as a term by Turgenev in Fathers and Sons, where it basically meant how youth who embraced science did not appreciate traditional norms any longer. From there the meaning of Nihilism morphed into a position that everything was meaningless and basically took the place of skepticism as the strawman to be discredited by philosophers. Nietzsche was the first one to attempt to show it was a central feature of the western worldview, and Heidegger took this up and specified that it was the essence of technology.

Once we begin to understand nihlism we can see that it is one of the core phenomena generated by the Western worldivew, and that it is itself the nihilistic opposite of Emergence. In order to understand this nihilistic and emergent duality of emergence and nihlism within the western worldview we must appropriate the meaning of nihilism, and it seems to me that Rosen has the best definition. Basically Nihilism when two antagonistic forces in society that produce a dynamic of conflict are recognized to be exactly the same thing. If you were caught up in the conflict and suddenly looked at the enemy and said "we confronted the enemy and we were them" then that would be a loss of meaning in your world. This is precisely what happens to Achilles in the Iliad when he realizes that the Greeks are no better than the Trojans when Agamemnon takes his war prize Briseis. He withdraws from the conflict, but then when his friend Patroclus is killed he goes into a berzerker state. Both of his reactions are themselves nihilistic. Thus the Iliad functions as a users manual for living in a Nihilistic worldview. It also tells us about the nature of emergence. And so this fundamental duality is at the core of our epic tradition and needs to be understood by those encompassed by the Western worldview. Stanley Rosen's book on Nihilism clarified the philosophical meaning of this term so it can be a basic tool in our attempts to understand the Western worldview.

Decline of Analytical Philosophy . . .

Rise of Continental Philosophy, but decline of Philosophy in general . . . Namesake.com conversation: Stephen Hawking tells Google ‘philosophy is dead’

Article: http://bit.ly/kRpkCf by Matt Warman in The Telegraph

Namesake conversation: http://bit.ly/mz1Z57

My comment on Namesake:

Hawking Said: “Most of us don’t worry about these [fundamental ] questions most of the time. But almost all of us must sometimes wonder: Why are we here? Where do we come from? Traditionally, these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead,” he said. “Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.” Think it is true?

Hawking says that Philosophy is Dead, but we can see that it has a pulse, or at least Continental Philosophy still does, but perhaps he is right about Analytical Philosophy. I wonder if Continental Philosophy will catch the same life threatening disease that Analytical Philosophy has?
