Quotations

  • 1651, Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan
    No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
  • 1843, Thomas Carlyle, Past and Present, book 3, ch. IX, Working Aristocracy
    The haggard despair of Cotton-factory, Coal-mine operatives, Chandos Farm-labourers, in these days, is painful to behold; but not so painful, hideous to the inner sense, as the brutish god-forgetting Profit-and-Loss Philosophy, and Life-theory, which we hear jangled on all hands of us […]

Is life for mankind in a state of nature "nasty, brutish and short" or anarchic utopia?
Q. Is life for mankind in a state of nature "nasty, brutish and short" or anarchic utopia?
Asked by Zebedeesnose - Thu Oct 1 08:29:59 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think a state of nature would evolve. Originally, it would look rather like the cinema world of Mad Max, and truly exist as a Hobbesian state. But the human brain is hardwired for order. It's why we see patterns in clouds and ink-spots. As a species we need order, continuity and predictability; and thus, over time, new government would emerge. My suspicion is that the first government would be dictatorial and based on the "strong man" who knock heads together and create order from chaos. But eventually it would soften to something more moderate. Bottom line, I think the Lord of the Flies is a better description of the state of nature; and that it would not be a happy place.

life for humans is bound to be "solitary, nasty, brutish, and short" Is this necessarily so?
Q. Do you disagree that due in large part of Thomas Hobbes belief that humans are inherently selfish & hedonistic, Hobbes claims that in a "state of nature" life for humans is bound to be "soliary, nasty, brutish, and short."

A. Not necessarily so, it depends on the individual. We all have different thumbprints haven't we.

What are the kinds of convincing strategies feminists use to convince some men that feminism is good for them?
Q. Other than telling them that men are nothing but pigs, brutish, wild, sex addict, etc. What are the things that feminism did to make these men ashamed of being men that they have to side with a group of angry women to fight the male population - their own kind?

A. It seems that the pack is all here today. I wish I had yes-men or yes-boys following me around and answering my questions as if I were a cult figure. Some men can be all the things you mention, but many are not. If you are ashamed of being male you should get counseling, Feminism is not to blame for your self-esteem levels, you are directly responsible for the things you do and say. BTW Without Feminism you would not be here telling us how you think and feel, that was a no-no for men ten years ago. So even anti's have benefited from Feminism!
