Rabid Thinking

I'm a philosophy/political science major, and I spend most of my time focusing the unimportant things in life such as idealogies, meanings and reasons. This mostly ends up with me having whacked out thoughts on how I think things could work better, and how I disagree with everyone else. I thought this place would provide a good opertunity to share some of my thoughts with the group and possibly create some discussion.

I would like everyone to know that what I write here is to be taken in as objective as possible, I will no attack you and I am not saying that it is my way or the highway, merely trying to provide interesting and hopefully unique possibilities.

Personnally I think that human beings are meant to be social creatures. I think of living in a forest alone sometimes and then begin to realize how difficult it would be in times like the winter and such, sure I know how to build a house and a fire, but then make my clothes gather food, I would have no time to myself just with my thoughts, and really isn't that the purpose of becoming a hermit? The point of society is to hopefully make each individual's day to day life easier, everyone shares the work load and in the end everyone should ideally get what they need. This is an obvious extrinsic value to living in a community. Then there is the not so obvious intrisic value of friendship, companionship, and even the theroputic enemy, all of this making your life easier to deal with, and seemingly an individual necessity.

Living and working together can also be a benefit in the actual accomplishing of tasks. One man with a spear meets with a hungry bear, you would most likely only have a spear remaining, but 20 men with spears would fetch you a nice warm coat for the on coming winter.

When reading some of my later ideas I think it would be important to remember this believe of mine.
