Speciesism

To discriminate based on sex
is sexism;
To discriminate based on race
is racism.
Therefore, to discriminate based on species
is speciesism.
But to discriminate based on religion
should then be religionism,
and to discriminate based on hair-color,
hair-colorism.
None-sense of course,
and awfully-sounding discourse.
Let speciesism hence
be racism
to stand for an illegitimate preference
to benefit the human race
to the detriment of the animal-kingdom.
It’s a disgrace.

Philosophy is dead

‘God is dead’
Nietzsche said.
Nothing has been less true.
Now philosophy is dead too.
The love of wisdom has gone,
if ever there was one
under the sun.

The internet promised transparency
but now lost its valency.
The truth is mostly not desirable
and truth-tellers are hireable.
Science should know
and philosophy show
the full truth in one blow.

Market forces are in control
and window-dressing is standing tall.
The truth is of secondary importance,
a matter of idle romance.
Money makes the world go round.
Money makes a pleasant sound.
Money has buried philosophy in the ground.

Twitter rhymes (2)

Twitter rhymes are thoughts in rhyme, mostly in response to notable animal pictures encountered on Twitter.

Watch!
To catch
rats
cats
need to read
“Military Strategy”
to avoid apathy.

I’m no snowball with eyes,
but seal pup on the ice.
Don’t err
Think twice
I’ll purr
if U wear no fur

‘A face only a mother could love‘
is a comment from above
Our soals are one
Unification has only just begone.

I love all
even the fly on the wall,
dog
& hog,
even the clan
of man,
sharing 1 soal
together we’re whole.

I’m fine, thank you
Lying on the railing too
Nothing to do
Still better than life in a zoo.

A SOAL is a subject-of-a-life,
human & animal,
man & wife
vegan & cannibal.
It’s plain,
we’re all the same.

The idea to put God first
may burst.
Look straight
to find weight
in the soal
& its primary role.

Ad: Some people are like clouds,
When they disappear, it’s a brighter day.

I’m like a cloud
When I disappear
it’s a brighter day
I’m a soal in the crowd
without fear
I find the way

Mirror on the wall
who’s the ugliest of all?
Can
man
stand trial
or is he in denial?

As digital dog
I like to cloginjust powers
in Twitter showers,
product of selective breeding
& lots of IT feeding

We’re wolves sharing
rather than tearing,
we’re caring
that fur is not for human wearing

I’ve found a place to rest
and at the same time test
my mam’s quest
to be a mother at her best.

I’m a penguin-general
my speeches are inspirational
But above all
I call
for peace overall

I’m a Bengal cat
I’m good at
tapping the tap somewhat
The sink is cool
& I’m no fool
I’m making a pool.

I brush teeth
for all I eat
is mice
‘n rice
so I keep
before sleep
at any price
my canines nice

We are 2 of a kind
White front and socks behind
otherwise black
I hope you don’t mind
I have a snack

He Dude,
Don’t be rude
Just standing tall
is no reason to push me up the wall
Let’s run
and have fun!

instead

In reply to: How beautiful the day can be when touched by kindness.

What a nice thought!
I hope you caught
some kindness
in the wilderness
as bait for something great

OK
Let kindness
be your guidess
today

I love all
even the fly on the wall,
dog
& hog,
even the clan
of man,
sharing 1 soal
together we’re whole.

no-one can chase
me out of this case
for my destiny
is wild & free

Stimulation

All need something to do,
something to respond to.

Stimulation triggers the mind,
sideways, upfront and behind.

It tickles the heart
for a start,

stimulates sensation
as well as contemplation.

Animal welfare stimulates me,
like a flower a bee.

Stimulation is needed, if only seldom
for without stimulation there will only be boredom.

So unless you want to be a bimbo,
don’t let animals go into limbo.

Speed

Speed may be good.
You get more things done.
But don’t forget to live in the meantime.
and don’t forget the lives of others.

Speed may be bad.
You are taking risks.
So don’t forget you are alive
and don’t forget others are as well.

Find your natural pace.
It is in-between speeding and slow motion.
Accelerate just for fun.
Slow down as well sometimes,
just to enjoy the fun of it
and to find your natural pace.

Let it wax and wane.
Play with it.
Enjoy it.
So you won’t forget to live
and appreciate the natural speed of other creatures,
whatever that may be.

Values

What are values?
Are virtues values?
What about duties?
Needs?
And resources?

Do you value human life?
The lives of animals?
Plants?
Bugs?
Viruses?

Do you value imaginary lives?
Extra-terrestrial life perhaps?
Do you value virtual life?
Are values virtual?

Do you value death?
What about a good death?
Eu-thanasia?
Dying for a cause?

Do all values have a magnitude?
And how is it quantified?

Is all value worth money?
And all money value?
Is there a common value denominator?

Are some values more valuable than others?
Is there a Maslowian pyramid?
Basic values at the bottom
Esoteric, philosophic ones on top?
Or instrumental ones down under
and intrinsic ones above?
Inherent or intrinsic
Aesthetic, moral or monetary?

What about conflict?
Is there a pecking-order among values?
Is more value always better than less?

And what is it that creates value?
We humans?
What about animal values?
And values for plant?

Can we fundamentally value the wrong things?
Value what is not of value?
Or does anything become of value only because it is valued?
Can there be anything of value left if there is nobody left to value?

Value all that values
Value more
Value all values
Even value what is not valued
Because valuation generates value
Value everything
Even nothing

Added value:

Listen

Listen to voices
Listen to Animal Voices
Use your senses
Listen with your heart

Carpe diem

Seize the day
never regret
to make the most of what you’ve got,
the most of what you’ve got to give.

What do you want to feel good about?

I want to feel good about

a. My relationship

b. My achievements

c. My future

d. Nothing, I just want to feel good

What good do you want to do?

I want to

a. Give to charity, do good for others

b. Make love, do good for myself

c. Save the world

What do you want to be good at?

I want to be good at

a. Some sort of skill like playing football or making music

b. Making money

c. Making the right decisions

d. Guiding others

Why do you want to feel good about your relationship?

I want to feel good about my relationship, because
a. It is not going well, so it makes me feel bad, and I just want to feel good.
b. It is going well and I want a(nother) child. But then the question is: Why do you want a child? I.e. what do you really want?

Why just feel good?

Since you just want to feel good, I suggest you do something that makes you feel good: Have some candy, a smoke, rob a bank, take a holiday, watch some (comic) tv, smoke some weed, make love, or do whatever it is that makes you forget about your miserable existence, and stimulate the economy by spending money on whatever will get you high, temporarily. So, you go watch an add, do some shopping, or consider the ultimate solution.

If this is not what you were looking for, perhaps your objective was not just having a good feeling per se. So, perhaps go back and try again.

Why do good to others?

Why would you want to give to do good to others, e.g. give to charity? Are they worth it? Are you so fortunate by heritage or inheritance, or did you practice cunning theft? If you now wallow in wealth and thus can do some good by dropping a few dimes down the gutter, find your solution here.

If not, be blessed! Now, don’t you think you are a saint. So, go back to ‘normal’ and watch an add or do some valuable shopping.
.

Why do good for yourself?

Why would you want to do good for yourself, e.g. make love? You selfish egoist! Here is your solution.

Why do you want to save the world?

Do you really think you can save the world? What makes you think so? Who do you think you are? God? Your solution is this.

Why do you want to acquire a skill?

A skill is a means to an end. It is not an end in itself. Therefore, go back.

Why do you want to make money?

Making money is a means to an end. It is not an end in itself. Go back, or find your solution here.

Why make the right decisions?

Clever, clever, but what do you think right decisions are? For me, right decisions are those that

a. Make money – Go here

b. Save the world – Go here

c. Do good for others – Go here

d. Give me a good feeling – Go here
