      Because Universities aren't there to educate, they are there to;
      Steal your private 'property' (textbooks, fees, union dues etc.)
      Protect the 'life' to which it is accustomed (Doing absolutely nothing to facilitate your education other than using convoluted language that results in absolutely nothing being said in the duration of an hour long lecture, therein necessitating the purchase of their overpriced tombs of even more convoluted waffle!)
      And the above two points being firmly sewn up herein, take a f*****g 'liberty'
      I hope that helps..........!
      P.s. You're hot, but I'm guessing that's something you already know?

    And then I found this
    Thank you Mr. Byrd for saving my life AND still giving me the sufficient content that I needed

    Someone teaching philosophy saying all kings were absolute and would "tell people what to do" is insane tbh. Most monarchs, especially in pre-modern times, were not and couldn't be absolute rulers. And current states are the most absolutist ones, but justifiably so since they're representative democracies.

  • @Parks179-h

    Interestingly enough, The social contract would be a secularization of the Protestant Christian covenant theory that came through Calvin and the reformed Christians. You can see a lot of this work in Calvin's expositions of the book of Exodus. Samuel Rutherford in his work Lex Rex is a puritan expression with a bi-covenantal idea attached (the british expression of an earlier expression in vindicae contra tyrannos, likely written by Philippe de Monray. What is utterly important, is that we do not think that many of these Ideas originated in these men here on the board, but rather, that they give particular expressions of already existing Ideas in history (Greece and Rome) yet, without a ultimate objective and universal basis (God) which was a European move away from the history of Christianity that build the west to this point.
    I'll share my opinion here. The enlightenment thinkers do not get away from religion. They are still utterly religious. They simply exchange theology ideas of God as the center and replace it with 'anthropology' at the center. Which has led us to sad times in our day.

    In the timeless era (which was never and is always) the first query demanded a conciousness. And it was nothing that spoke first. Telling everything, "Everything if you're out there please come forth for I was called upon. Because there seems to be nothing, and that's me but I'm unsure how to pose, when I'm everything that you're not, and you're completely undefined! The Nothings vibes were much stronger than nothing gave itself credit at its crying hopelessly" whaat aaare yoou everything which is not nothing!!! then behold what was about to start becoming the Universe, said "I am".
