Higher Absolutes...or not


I asked Jed McNeil today who his favorite philosopher was and which book of his would he recommend for me to upload.

His answer: Soren Kierkegaard

Book: Fear And Trembling.

Interesting. Kierkegaard was a philosopher who used many masks to explore ethics and religion, with its many absolutes. In Fear and Trembling, he concentrated on Abraham's act to choose -- whether to sacrifice his son Isaac or not -- when a higher authority orders it so.

Very interesting. Very few people (especially the higher ups) know that Jed McNeil has a half-Asian daughter. You have met her, haven't you? Not your usual young lady by any means.

What do you want to know? More is vague. Grace is everything GEM would want but she isn't going to be GEM. Not if her father can help it.
