The objectivity of Morality

  Morality is objective insofar as it deals with how to achieve the one goal all goal-having beings have, namely, fulfillment; for to aim at any goal, regardless of the goal, is to aim to fulfill the goal; but as such, all aims are bound up with the aim of fulfillment of some sort, and so with fulfillment as such. As such, objective morality simply follows from a conceptual analysis of the notion of goal making, where one also takes into account one's own circumstances, and so whether or not one's means and ends will help to achieve the fulfillment one can't help but aim at; all aim at fulfillment, whether they admit it or not, whether they recognize it or not, it is simply inherent to the logic of having goals; and this also means that 'all particular goals' are ultimately 'means' to this greater and ultimate end of fulfillment itself; and morality then is about success or failure at achieving that one highest goal; for some chosen means (including our chos...

On the Morality of Gender Pronoun Usage

 On the Morality of Gender Pronoun Usage Gender, if it means anything, is rooted in sex; a man is someone who is by nature ordered towards insemination, a woman one who is by nature ordered towards conception; gender is simply the psychological and sociological outworking of sex, so that all males are men, and all females are woman. Typically this is evident from one's primary and secondary sexual characteristics, though genetic and developmental defects may prevent this, and make it more difficult to discern someone's sex, and so someone's gender, but there is arguably always going to be a hint in the body indicating the person's nature; such as having xx or xy chromosomes, or if one has chromosomal abnormality, a more certain test would be the presence or absence of the SRY gene, which while typically in the Y chromosome, can appear in the x chromosome, and so can be a biological marker of one's sex, and so in turn, of gender. (If (somehow) the SRY gene shows itse...

A poem and a prayer

  In the darkness of the night In the sickness of the heart In the lowness of the spirit and in the coldness of the hearth No man for long can stand alone among these things he needs another's hand but beware what others bring? In the raging of revenge in the hate that brings forth war in the battles amongst men and the fire of envy's door No man for long can stand,  alone among these things he needs another's hand but what other can this mean? In the Light that gives the day, in the Source that gives men health, in the One who gives the Spirit and in the Warmth that gives men Life No man for long can stand, alone among these things, all men instead must kneel down in prayer Amen, so let it be.  To the God of all, all men give praise, for him who gives us endless days, glory, honor, love, and song, to he who lends us Love so long,  to God the Father, and the Son, and Holy Spirit ever blessed, may we to you give endless glory,  and in you find eternal rest. ...
