new credo #2:
beauty is truth, truth beauty (Yeats)
it was from the beginning a metaphysical argument. for at the base what do you find? Or do you suppose that laws float in a vaccuum, did human rights spring from the ground? You ask for the right to die, you ask for death with dignity. And I sympathize with you, I do, but your argument is a spaghetti strainer. Tell me, name for me a law, a “right” endowed by nature. Tell me, do, which animal observes these rights?
What is stealing what is murder what is rape?
Tell me upon whose authority do you deny me these things?
The state’s authority, you say? Should the state be the defacto moral compass? What is the state but an emblem of power? You know the atrocities of the state. Who is Martin Luther King? Who is Joan of Arc? Who is Jesus Christ? Who is Hitler? Who is Stalin? Who is Saddam? Might does not make right.
Wherefore does moral right arise?
In a person’s subjective conviction? Then let us be done with the fictitious state and live in anarchy.
It is and must be a metaphysical dilemma. No matter your reply.
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
-Camus
