Why Do YOU Care?

By zarinamacha May 9, 2018April 19, 2023
2018 / Philosophy

Why do vegans get so bothered about other people eating meat? I understand you don’t eat meat or dairy products and that’s fine, but why do you feel the need to get others to join your lifestyle? If they don’t want to, so what? There’s nothing wrong with not being […]

Extended Project Qualification

By zarinamacha December 3, 2017April 19, 2023
2017 / Philosophy

In Sixth Form I did an EPQ and got a B for it, which naturally I was pretty happy about. An EPQ is an extended research project you can do where you pick a topic and research about it. I was so excited and pumped about mine I wrote the […]

Destiny vs Coincidence

By zarinamacha November 10, 2017April 19, 2023

Is Murder Always Wrong?

By zarinamacha October 11, 2017April 19, 2023
2017 / Philosophy

I know what you’re thinking. Of course murder is always wrong. At face value; murder, cheating, lying, stealing all seem terrible. But I don’t believe that ethics is clear-cut, and I don’t believe in absolutist morality. When you look beneath the surface and take in situational relevance, everything changes. Lawful […]

Am I A Nihilist?

By zarinamacha October 8, 2017April 19, 2023
2017 / Philosophy

Existential nihilism is the belief that nothing in the world holds inherent meaning or value. We’re here because we’re here, the universe has no meaning and life is purposeless. Do I believe this? To a degree. I believe that meaning has to be created from within, and that nothing holds […]
