Is birth control, homosexuality, and suicide immoral?

Posted on February 6, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

I’m not talking from a religious standpoint here, but from a completely biological, “Law of Nature” standpoint.

Known Laws of Nature for Humans and Animals:

1. Survival
2. Breeding

Can it be assumed a person, or animal for that matter, only has two known objectives (see above) in life in order to live in accordance to the laws of nature?

Breaking the Laws of Nature:

Birth Control (failing to breed)
Homosexuality (failing to breed)
Suicide (failing to survive)
Etc.

If this is the case wouldn’t preventing those objectives (see above) be seen as the only tangible evidence of immoral behavior?

More to the point wouldn’t things that preserve those objectives be seen as your moral duty or rights?

For example: The right to kill someone attempting to kill you or others. The right to kill animals in order to provide food.

On “Equality”. Any flaws in reasoning?

Posted on February 2, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Equality is the assertion that ‘all men are created equal’ and that consequently, we are entitled to the same ‘unalienable rights’. I contest the former point, as we are constituted of attributes such as, but not limited to, intelligence and physical prowess. In a competitive environment, as in nature, how well we fulfill these criterion will determine whether or not we survive; natural selection will take its pick based on the inherent inequality within us. Thus, when a persons is quantified based on the ‘net survival skill’ he/she has, and compared to that of an ‘inferior’ being, the relation would be p1>p2 instead of p1=p2. It would thus not be logical for the relatively inferior human to be deemed the equal of a being superior in all aspects of life (this will not be subjective if they are assessed by a rubric).

This inequality does not connote any thing in the field of politics. Whether morality and ethics are intrinsic or empirical, we have learned to embrace ‘inequality’, as the alternative would be mass genocide and forced sterilization, as witnessed by the Third Reich’s Holocaust. We have learned to empathize with and accept the flaws of one another, and have established laws because of this capability. Equality is thus nonexistent, but we must not discriminate because of this. //

What are the weak points? Any logical fallacies? Anything you agree/disagree with? Which points could I expand upon? Thanks in advance!
What do you mean?

nature/wilderness camp for young adults?

Posted on January 8, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

Well I am going to be a senior in High School next year. I am a loner and I am trying to become more social. I really love being in the wilderness and having fun in nature. Last year I went on a sailing camp over summer, but it was with a bunch of little kids and it wasn’t very fun. I want to go to a wilderness/survivalist/nature camp that isn’t geared for troubled teens, doesn;t have alot of little kids and is above all, cheap, since my family doesn’t have much money. I am hoping for one that costs less than a thousand dollars, for around a weeks length. Does anyone know of any camps like that around California?
