But also we have 'will to power' as Nietzsche said, whiles animals don't. I don't say we are different to them, I just look for a reason to believe that we are equal. A reason to believe why they should ahve the same rights as us. I'm not anti greenpeace, in fact I recycle the most I can and don't waste paper. Don't eat whales. But I don't like misinterpreting what the 'human rights' are, as so many do, they are not a 'rgiht of species' but a 'right of minds' of persons, not of humans. |
Guille!
I agree on almost everything you say here, and also on the God issue.
It is all in our mind, in the level of our development.( specially level 6 -
great ideas but still in the fog..) Guille - you have read my theory of consciousness, so you know on what I am referring.
This is very interesting discussion, I will try to integrate a lot of subjects from this thread into one article which I am planing to write.
