Dooyeweerd's theory of aspects.

Today, again while surfing the web and writing an essay I found a web page which is totally and completely what I like - Herman Dooyeweerd's theory of aspects.
The philosopher is described there as "The most profound, innovative and penetrating philosopher since Kant." (Giorgio Delvecchio).
This is my kind of philosophy.

World as it is today is a place where many different political forces are struggling to get what they want.
IRA decision was surprising, is this everlasting hatred really over? It only seems that IRA wants to wash their hands from suspicions, because of the violent events lately in London.
Some forces call themselfs political but they really are terrorists, that means killing and no politics.
So perhaps we will see what is behind IRA's statement on disarmament.

Der Untergang...

is another film and it is about the last days of 1000 years Reich.
Adolf Hitler by Bruno Ganz is excellent. It is not a movie for light enterntainment though, also it is not a movie for them who don't know anything about history, go see Gladiator instead, there is enough made-up history for you (take a Roman history book and check it out).
As a result I still believe that European war movies should be made by europeans and it is so good to hear actors speaking German.

Khodorkovsky on freedom the Russian way.

"Freedom is an indelible aspect of a human being, a special aspect". In response to letters from the readers of the Bolshoi Gorod magazine, Mikhail Khodorkovsky talks about his own understanding of Russian freedom – and why a revolution in Russia would be disastrous.

Control

You think you can control yourself, right? Think again. It is an illusion that you are the master of your life. Right now you think you are doing what you are doing, not even near, my friend.
Instead trying to gain control over your life, try to let things go.

Mysterious Russia

Heard from news today all over the world is that Moscow was blinded because of power cut at the station. It is really something. To be short, it is a set up. We should always ask a question - who will benefit from it? We already know it and the rest of the world knows it but they cannot say it, because there is no concrete proof of it. President Vladimir Putin is a long time opposer of UES chief Anatoly Chubais, due to his political views. There you have an answer.
Suddenly there is a criminal case and suddenly I have a click...same thing happened to another man recently. He also tried to start political career, but trying is enough in Russia to get punished. When there is no case, they make a case and when there is no proof they make a proof.
Let's face it, Russia is heading to a dark room and there is no light.

Good Morning Vietnam

It was a movie with Robin Williams starring in it. Movie was made 1987 but the war started actually 1948. Till today young americans are told that they won the war. Obviously no serious historian believes it, there is no question about it that americans lost the war as they lost the war in Afghanistan and soon they loose Iraq also.
This is not a memorial for Vietnam war, it just came to my mind and I thought I should write it down. You may call it a reminder that the Big doesn't always rule over the little.
