Sinopse

John Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes.In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including:
 
The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse
 
His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password
 
His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.”
 
And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel
 
Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.”This is not a respectful biography.This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us:
 
Liberalism
 
Landlords
 
Legal headaches
 
And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority
 
Perfect for:
 
Recovering philosophy students
 
Political skeptics
 
Enlightenment haters
 
Property law survivors
 
And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement
 
You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government.You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.

    "One who is ignorant of scientific knowledge of the spirit soul does not look inside the body to find happiness in the soul; instead, he goes outside to search for happiness." " 
     
    The human body is rarely achieved and although temporary like other bodies, it is meaningful because in human life one can perform devotional service. Even a slight amount of sincere devotional service can give one complete perfection." 
     
    "Krishna is the knower of everything because He does not see outside in but inside out. Gopinathji sees the Motivations, Intentions & Aspiration within our heart."

    As Apollo 11’s name suggests, there were actually a number of Apollo missions that came before, many of which included testing the rockets and different orbital and lunar modules in orbit. In fact, it wasn’t until Apollo 8 that a manned vehicle was sent towards the Moon and back, and before that mission, the most famous Apollo mission was Apollo 1, albeit for all the wrong reasons.  
    There were no delusions regarding the dangers of manned space travel, but they were brought home on January 27, 1967, when all three astronauts were killed by a fire that ignited in the cabin during a launch rehearsal. To this day, there is still debate over what ignited the fire, but the disaster made clear that the modules being used by NASA had a series of fatal flaws.  
    	In the decades after the Apollo program, American space shuttles flew over 130 missions and successfully completed over 98% of them, but unfortunately, the two most famous missions were the ones that ended tragically aboard the Challenger and Columbia. The Space Shuttle Challenger was the most heavily used space shuttle in the three years it was operational, carrying the first minority astronaut and woman astronaut into space. Challenger was also the first space shuttle to complete a landing at night.  
    	The notorious date of the Challenger disaster was commemorated by the crew of the Columbia while they were in space in 2003, and a few days later, on February 1, the Columbia was due to land at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 09:16. Only a few members of the press were present to watch the landing - this was, after all, supposed to be a routine return from a routine mission, the 113th for the shuttle program and the 28th for Columbia, one of the oldest Space Shuttles.
