Stumbled across this community while looking for something else and loved the idea! It's hard to find people to talk to about weird theories and 'oddball' topics. Even my friends refuse to venture into that arena. They look at me like I've lost my mind when I start rambling about worm holes, time travel, and anything remotely related to philosophy. They definately do not have a love of wisdom, LOL
So hopefully I'll fit in around here!

hi, i've started a new community called
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=92.1) the_quickening
i'm hoping that tons of people will join and help spark discussions about the impending eschaton, complexity & novelty theory, synchronicity, the singularity, the mayan calendar, transhumanism and other various bits of esoterica.
please join if you have something to contribute, or even just to watch.

Is there ever a time when it is ethical to kill an innocent person- for any reason, in any way?
Is there ever a time when it is ethical to murder an innocent person- young or old, male or female, light or dark-skinned?
What would this time be?
And how does the act of killing an innocent person- even for perceived benifit to the murderer or to other persons who are not involved with the murder- affect the innocence of the murderer themselves?
What possible scenario would make the murder of an innocent person justified and ethical?
IS there such a time?
And how do we, mere humans, make that determination?

What do I really hate about society?
You have to be skinny to be pretty.
How much hair a woman has on her body dictates how beautiful she is.
We have to mutilate ourselves with breast implants and nose jobs in order to fit into some fake ideal of what the human body should look like.
Wearing makeup makes you a woman, but having a tattoo makes you base.
Wearing leather is for goths and bikers, only silk and suede makes you look hot.
Blonde hair is beautiful, but green hair is just a teenager "acting out" against society.
Who the hell made up these stupid standards? Who the hell decided who we should be, what we should look like, what body parts are acceptable and which are not, what hair color is legal in schools and which is not, which body parts we can pierce and which body piercings are sick.
Why can anyone else BUT me decide who and what I am, who and what I can be, and what I can look like?
I don't want to be a robot or a sheep following some societal program, I want to be who I am.
Hair dyed red, tattoo on my shoulder, bad attitude and strong emotions. If you don't like it then fuck off, I am me whether you like it or not.
Whew, I'm done now.
