Plikt til å hjelpe flyktninger
David Chelsom Vogt
Filosofiprofessor Jens Saugstad har i flere innlegg i Klassekampen argumentert mot at den norske staten har en plikt til å hjelpe flyktninger. Som privatpersoner kan vi ha plikt til å hjelpe, sier Saugstad, men vi har ingen rettsmoralsk plikt som gjør det legitimt å tvinge norske skattebetalere til å hjelpe noen som ikke inngår i vår samfunnskontrakt. Argumentasjonen bygger tilsynelatende på en kantiansk samfunnskontraktteori.
Why do we all get stupider when we crowd around the brink of death?
Children of the Mind
"They do not exist for any human purpose, not even redemption," said Plikt with withering contempt. "They are true ramen, like the buggers." Andrew nodded, but frowned. "You use a word that is not yet common koine." "It should be," said Plikt. "Everyone in Trondheim, every Nord in the Hundred Worlds should have read Demosthenes' History of Wutan in Trondheim by now." "We should but we haven't," sighed a student. "Make her stop strutting, Speaker," said another. "Plikt is the only woman I know who can strut sitting down." Plikt closed her eyes. "The Nordic language recognizes four orders of foreignness. The first is the otherlander, or utlanning, the stranger that we recognize as being a human of our world, but of another city or country. The second is the framling-- Demosthenes merely drops the accent from the Nordic frimling. This is the stranger that we recognize as human, but of another world. The third is the ramen, the stranger that we recognize as human, but of another species. The fourth is the true alien, the varelse, which includes all the animals, for with them no conversation is possible. They live, but we cannot guess what purposes or causes make them act. They might be intelligent, they might be self-aware, but we cannot know it." Andrew noticed that several students were annoyed. He called it to their attention. "You think you're annoyed because of Plikt's arrogance, but that isn't so. Plikt is not arrogant; she is merely precise. You are properly ashamed that you have not yet read Demosthenes' history of your own people, and so in your shame you are annoyed at Plikt because she is not guilty of your sin."

The Ender-Within-Us
"Even though Ender's aiua lives on, as all aiuas live on undying, the man we knew is gone from us. His body is gone, and whatever parts of his life and works we take with us, they aren't him any longer, they are ourselves, they are the Ender-within-us just as we also have other friends and teachers, father and mothers, loves and children and siblings and even srangers within us, looking out at the world through our eyes and helping us determine what it all might mean. I see Ender in you looking out at me. You see Ender in me looking out at you. And yet not one of us is truly him; we are each our own self, all of us strangers in our own road. We walked awhile on that road with Ender Wiggen. He showed use things we might not otherwise have seen. But the road goes on without him now. In the end, he was no more than any other man. But no less, either."

Dags att göra sin plikt
Ska bege mig de 40 stegen till dagis för ett styrelsemöte. Hoppas det går fort, de senaste dagarna har det varit jobbigt att vara vaken efter klockan åtta.
Jag är trött på att vara tjock och orörlig, dessutom längtar jag hysteriskt efter bebisen. Vill gosa bebisnacke och mysa. Bara 13 dagar kvar!
