Read both of these recently for the second time. Siddhartha not as good as the first time, Costello still good, still unsettling. Going to read:

The logic that makes nihilism not condone slavery and everything unpleasant in the world is that slavery and everything unpleasant is just as unnecessary as everything pleasant. So no, I'm not going to enslave, rape and kill my neighbors because that would be unnecessary. Life is just as unnecessary as death. Everything is unnecessary, but everything will still occur. What keeps me going at life is the belief that I can lessen the pain and suffering in the world. I really don't give a shit about my own well-being, but don't really need to worry about myself because of many privileges. If I was less fortunate I would probably be Christian fundamentalist conservative or conspiracy theorist; generally a believer of fairy tales because thats what would get me through my day to day; "FUCK YEAH MY LIFE IS MEANINGFUL". (Which is what I was actually like when I was younger.) So much of peoples ideologies come from their complexes. I think that most people don't overview the entire field of possible ways to think about something. At whatever beginning, our beliefs are formulated illogically, then we logically attempt, even successfully, to make sense of them. Beliefs are based on a mix between the ebb of history and personal history along with the human psych. Sorry for the unnecessary text. Animals are still fucked. Carry on.

Rights, religion, marriage: all living fairy tales that people make up, that are also not necessarily bad, but could come with a warning label that reads: "made-up." I pretty much agree with Christo-F, and it looks like he said the exact same thing.* I used to think that there was difference between rights and privileges, but not so much anymore. Rights and privileges are the same, handed out by those in power of a certain group. The right to food, to water, to happiness and whatnot probably comes from our humane needs, which are not hurtful rights at all, but are still made-up. Also, what I see as the paramount argument against using animals for food and things are not because they have "rights" or because life is "sacred." It's because pain, which is not a fairy tale, is not a pleasant experience and unpleasant experiences could be avoided. The animal rights argument is what completely abolished the natural rights argument for me. The greatest thing about fairy tales are that they can change. If gays want to join the pile of bullshit, why not. *................ I just read page 7 and uh.. well, the animals will stay fucked for a long time if that page represented the world.
