Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-04-23]: Chinese reporter leaving her marriage to go report (in her wedding dress!) for an earthquake that shook China. [source: web news] This is the story of humankind: Ignoring human relations and what is really important, to deal with bullshit...
Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-02-10]: A German job center has tried to line up a position for a young woman in a brothel. A German job center is calling it an "oversight," but the young woman in question isn't taking it lightly. A 19-year-old woman in the southern German city of Augsburg had been hunting for a job for months before the local, government-run job center contacted her about a potential position. "I was absolutely outraged," the newspaper quoted the woman as saying. "My mother immediately screamed when she saw the letter". [source: web news] This is actually not the first time something like that happens in Germany. Some years ago another young woman faced the threat of losing her unemployment benefits if she did not accept a job offer to work as a prostitute!!! (see here) Our civilization has progressed. And we have now learned that work is no shame. Or maybe some kinds of work are? How much do we really mean it when we refer to equality or when we defend the right of hookers to work? (prostitution is legal in Germany) How much hypocrites are we when we say that we would get any job if we were left unemployed? Perhaps the difference between “civilized” and “uncivilized” is that the latter cannot lie so good as we can…
Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2013-02-01]: A Japanese pop star has shaved her head and offered a filmed apology after breaking her management firm's rules by spending a night with her boyfriend. A sobbing Minami Minegishi apologised to her fans and said she did not want to leave the band AKB48, in the video seen by millions on YouTube. The production company behind AKB48 said Minegishi, 20, had failed to abide by its cardinal rule - no dating. But fans have defended her, saying she is entitled to a normal life. [source: BBC News] The new era of Money Civilization is here! You are ours now! You must work for us and do what you are told for us to make money! There is no art! Just money! Forget the time when artists where the people who lived their life to the full! You are a money machine now! You can have no life of your own! You are ours now!
Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-10-02]: The new spectacular film by Haneke (Amour) reminds us of what we already knew but have forgotten: that society in Greece is light years BEHIND societies in western Europe! And that is a GOOD thing! When our parents are dying, we do not need weeks just to see them because we “were busy”…
Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-05-04]: Researchers discovered traces of blood, hair and muscles on ancient rock blades, used by pre-Aztec civilizations in human sacrifices [source: web news]. We are socked by such sacrifices today. We are too much addicted to killing people’s souls slowly every day, that such direct actions seem truly appalling…
