To pay or not to pay!!!!!!

"You are waiting with a few other people to board a bus. The bus pulls up and before you can board the driver gets out and goes into the convenience store to get a coffee. You are the last to get on the bus. Do you pay your fare?"

Well this is a hard question but basicallly it comes down to everyones morals, bus fare is a cheap and it wouldn't matter to many if they lost the 50 cents but to others it might make a very large difference.

VIII:Thou shall not steal

Some one who believes in the laws of god may take it as a from of stealing and just pay the fare, while some one who may be an aethiest may not.

Once again it all comes down to the morals of the person, I personally would pay it as it does not affect me in any bad way. YOU DECIDE! What would you do?

" I'm expanding my mind man "

"Acute effects while under the influence include euphoria, increased appetite, anxiety, short-term memory loss, and circulation effects which may increase risks of heart attacks. The evidence of long-term effects on memory is preliminary and hindered by confounding factors. Concerns have been raised about the potential for long-term cannabis consumption to increase risk for schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and major depression, but the ultimate conclusions on these factors are disputed."

The 60's a time when hippies ran wild and drugs were really just coming out of the closet, during these times one of the many hippy ideals were drugs expand your mind and give you new forms of thought. The quoted paragraph above states the official effects that the cannabis also known as "weed" plants give, there is NO expansion of the mind!!!!!!!!!

The definition of "euphoria" is intense happiness at an utmost degree, when the THC begins to effect your brain giving you this happiness you think something is happening and you take it as knowledge as you are to "high" to think in a proper manner.

The fact is you do not get smarter but in a sense you get dumber as you lose your short term memory and increase your risks of diseases at an older age.

phat,french, or mebe blind!?!

So yesterday in Theory of Knowledge we were to walk around the school with our eyes closed trying to understand what its like being blind. As many of you know when one sense goes away the others become heightened my sense of touch,smell,hearing all improved i noticed things that i have never noticed before such as things like bumps in the floor, the breathing of the grade 9's as the horde through the hallways like the uruk-hai in Lord of the Rings.

Could being blind increase your knowledge in the other areas of your life what if you couldn't feel would that increase your sense of sight, or what what if you couldn't smell many people have told me that without your sense of smell you couldn't taste because your smell makes up over have your taste sense.

Maybe they react with some better then others sight, hearing and touch vs smell and taste.

Could they interlock in a way that makes them differ but also be the same?

The fact is when one goes away the others heighten some less then others when smell goes away taste may not height a lot but it will still be there doing the same thing it always had, but it does in fact differ from sight when you lose your sight your other sense have to heighten to certain levels so you can still function as a human.

South Park! Philosiphy or NOT!????????!

Plato once stated that the original forms of what we know now are no more then a form of relation, he believed that everything was originally from another place in time and we only know them because the images were passed on mentally from peoples relation to their beliefs about which should be which.

http://www.southparkzone.com/episodes/704/Cancelled.html

This episode states that everything is from there own planet, one planet for the zebras, one for the horses, one for the dogs, etc.

This relates to Plato's theory of Universals that all of Earth's creatures and inhabitants are referrals from there original templates.

What is knowledge

According to Theaetetus, knowledge is a subset of that which is both true and believed.

Could this be true? Is this all that matters during the search for true knowledge?

Or is it more complex?

Todays modern version of knowledge is much more complicated than this but does indeed make more sense in 21st century science.

Or is it possible that no matter what we can not achieve true knowledge?
