Ethics Stories

After the catastrophe of 20XX, humanity is deemed fundamentally flawed. Seven creators come together to design the Model, an experiment intended to create the ideal human: a being capable of perfect rationality and free from the emotional impulses that have repeatedly led humanity to its own destruction. But as the Model progresses, the boundaries between reason and humanity begin to blur. What begins as an attempt to eliminate human weakness becomes a question of what, exactly, is human weakness and what exactly should we preserve? And beneath that lies the darker question: If you could remove everything that makes humanity flawed, would you still have humanity left?

Global transformation? Changing the world? These aspirations may sound too ambitious and lofty. But what if these efforts do not really begin with large-scale initiatives from the governments, or the intense influences that surround revolutions, or even huge leaps of noble actions by our extraordinary heroes? What if it truly begins with the humble and peaceful decision to transform one's own life? "Forming the Self. Transforming the World." is a philosophical exploration of identity, chaos, responsibility, and human flourishing. Inspired by philosophy, mythology, theology, and lived experience, this literature introduces the concept of the human person as a miniature universe, a tiny cosmos-an inner world capable of experiencing chaos, yet equally capable of freely imposing order through self-formation and what the author calls "Self-Drive." Perhaps, the project of transforming the world is not impossible to achieve. It just needs to begin from something simple: "Forming Our Selves."

A selection of recently made poems. Critique the hell out of these! CONTENTS: - Dream Beginning October - A poem based on a prompt, exploring the strangeness and attributed meaning or even beauty of vivid dreams. Based on my own dream... beginning October. - Eyes of a Crow - Poem about the nature of indiscriminate revenge. The anaphoric nature of the first and last stanza show the imagery of the crows who seek revenge in real life and the narrator himself. - The World's Greatest Graffiti, Washed Away - Poem that criticises nihilism, especially that of rejection of culture for the sake of joy. The Bielsa Redentor graffiti has not actually been washed away, nor has Bielsa himself died, but this was inspired by the Leeds United celebratory art by the Burley Banksy. - Divinity - Another criticism of nihilism, this time of meaning. The idea that the whole world is deontological and the world changes to fit the views of the person. I.E. A stoic reflects on the world as a challenge, a nihilist sees earth as tortuous. A comment on the virtue of indomitability. - Objectivity - A mirror to the previous poem in structure and viewpoint. It depicts the viewpoint of the nihilist and refutes it immediately as one who does not have drive wastes all his efforts. Uses images such as tantalus to express the severity of the nihilistic condition as opposed to an indomitable one. The world is a Transformer: more than meets the eye. - The Pond: A Fantasy - Another poem inspired by a dream, but also inspired by the iterative nature of Bach's Prelude in Cm (BWV999). This and the other dream I have very strong emotional attachment too, which is reflected in the constant near-rhyming and cyclical nature of the poem which denotes a completeness of self, and a harmony.

From the intricacies of biology and consciousness to the rich tapestry of diverse species and ecosystems, the interplay of social, cultural, and economic dimensions, and the moral, ethical, and existential dilemmas we face, life is a continuous exploration of interconnected and ever-evolving phenomena. These intricacies touch every facet of our lives, from relationships and well-being to technology, environment, and the ceaseless pursuit of knowledge, making life a profound and ongoing journey of discovery and understanding. Our senses, including sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, are the primary means through which we perceive and interact with the world.
